That sounds like almost an exact description of the first Mario movie.

As a PC gamer I would never condone such a statement about my console brethren (and sisters), but lol.
The new Super Mario Galaxy Movie is out today – as expected, it is a bare-bones story supported by a cavalcade of Nintendo cameos and bright action scenes. Dubbed “a bland screensaver of a movie” by the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw, expect smooth-brained entertainment for Nintendo enjoyers.

Nintendo fans are smooth-brained thesedays though. I dont think its console specific, its Nintendo specific.

They literally make games for the lowest common denominator and everything on the Switch 1 and 2 is so much worse than anything they’ve ever made prior to these system. They look nice, but they are pretty brainless to play, geared toward young children, the elderly, and people who have never ever played a video game before.

Ok, but... I have young children and parents who I would like to be able to play games together. As far as I can tell, other than Roblox and Lego Party, literally nobody is catering to that market.

The smooth brained entertainment comment was just referring to the Mario Galaxy movie.

Man, I remember when the DS was the thinking person’s console of choice. Oh the art you could draw on it and send to others. Oh the traces of goatee.

Is it bad that smooth-brained entertainment for Nintendo enjoyers sounds about exactly what I’m equipped to handle right about now?
Like zoning out to some seriously tepid nostalgia-slop sounds good.

Last time I checked Mario Bros was supposed to be happy and fun and simple not an art house intellectual experience.
I wonder if a lot of the reviews are just the bitterness that it’s going to be a 1.5B movie and that ‘real cinema’ movies do pitifully at the box office these days, very rarely to they even make $100mil

i mean a lot of those ‘real cinema’ movies do pitifully at the box office because they’re fucking creepy glimpses into fucking creepy writers’, directors’, and editors’ minds

I do very much enjoy playing super mario galaxy on my steam deck. It’s pickup and play when I have a quick 5 - 15 mins of free time. The cheerful colours and sounds can be an enjoyable escape. A nice change from some of the death and destruction in many more “serious” pc games
