Email from John — Hey Bill kind of want to comment on upcoming MARIO Movie. I am probably the odd ball out but enjoyed both the Old MARIO movie and cartoon I even tried to get my daughter into the cartoon since it was on Netflix but to the point. I been listening to several podcast and everybody believes Mario should not talk. I know minions are funny and that works for them. But I think that Mario and all the characters in the movie should talk. People need realize its a movie not a video game if he does not have words and only video game noises probably a bad movie what are your thoughts? I sent this thought because you are my favorite Nintendo podcast.
Email from Doylesbane — Hey RJS --
You recently asked about what we would like to see in Smash when it comes out on the Switch. Of course, I totally agree that new characters from ARMS and Splatoon need to be in there, and skins from Breath of the Wild and Odyssey are musts as well.
The additional content that I would like to see in the next Smash also ties into the phenomenal success that the Switch enjoyed in its first year -- indy support. I think that having characters and maps from Shovel Knight, Steamworld Dig, and Stardew Valley would be amazing, and it would totally be in line with the emphasis that Nintendo has placed on building good will with indy studios. What better way to remind players and devs alike that the Switch is now a go-to destination for great indy content? Just my $.02. Keep up the great work!
Best,
Doylesbane
