I had that same image set as my avatar on some forum years ago and the more banned me for a day for "inciting traumatic material"
With Switch 2 on the horizon, is it time for Mario and classic Nintendo franchise to evolve?
- Thread starter Kuro
- Start date
Can't tell if OP is yanking everyone's chain, but if Nintendo tried rebooting Mario using that Deviant Art there would be riots in the streets.
Weirdly enough, not too many people here are familiar with one of countless dumb threads posted several years ago on a different forum. Crazy, I know.
I would imagine that most everyone on this forum [and around the world] has seen this movie. It came out in 2003 and as soon as I saw this scene, I knew exactly what famous scene/art they were referencing.
I'm just kind of curious to see how many of you can answer this correctly :)
And that correct answer is rooted in pop-culture - so I'm curious ResetEra - I love all of you; - what say you?
What famous video game/pop-culture reference is this scene depicting?

Why does Sony make so many third-person narrative action-adventure games? It's because they're the best at what they do and they stick with it. They have a niche and not a huge incentive to work outside of it.
Nintendo is the best at what THEY do. And as more games increase their focus on narrative and realism, Nintendo's place in the market gets more and more ensured. There is no reason for them to dramatically deviate, and I'm glad they don't. Narrative games are MY favorite, too, but there's an important place for the types of games Nintendo makes.

Not everything needs to be hyper-realistic and/or gritty. Plus, Nintendo's cartoony mascots and characters have such an astounding mindshare, it would be wild to turn them into generic, DeviantArt, throwaway models.
I remember some years ago on a different message board someone made a topic "What if Zelda went open world?"
Majority of the posts were along the lines of "No, you're an idiot" and "Keep that Skyrim shit out of my Zelda"
Then Breath of the Wild happens and everyone loves it.
Even Nintendo games can change and evolve but people will respond very negatively if its presented as a hypothetical, if its an actual game then they will love it.
People are weird.

I know everyone is dog piling on the OP but I don't think it's crazy to think Switch might be on the back 9 of it's tour. I could see a successor in 1.5 years; depends on what Sony and Microsoft put out.
I really don't think we are anywhere near Switch 2. I think 4 years from now even is optimistic.
I had no idea it was a replica of an old thread, I still figured out it was a joke.
Not sure if joke thread or not. But essentially you want Nintendo to make edgy games? Not sure if want.
Switch 2 gonna revolutionize the way we play games.
Forget using your hands. Now we're gonna use our elbows!

Yeah, that's a fair point. But I think it retained the tone and style of Zelda. I think people are less resistant to gameplay changes for Nintendo games than they are for stylistic and thematic changes.
As long as Nintendo continues to be Nintendo, there will forever be a fresh generation of 20-something gamers asking when is Nintendo going to get grimdark already.
I really don't mean this as disrespect to the OP. It's just that the OP and like-minded people might want to consider a broader historical view of how this cycle always comes around again.
This has to be a troll thread.
Those sketches looooool.
How about letting Nintendo be Nintendo and let other companies make the cinematic games theyre good at.

In all seriousnes, 2D Mario could use a big shake up. I mean im terms of presentation and ambition, definitely not making it "darker".
Literally every one of those examples of evolution I like much less than their old styles. Lmao
Some of their other franchises do need a jumpstart of innovation or even just a game, but Mario and Zelda have absolutely evolved, just not in the way that everyone agrees with or is particularly focused on being a graphical powerhouse like the N64 days.

Switch 2 isn't on the horizon. Get your eyes checked. You're seeing things that aren't there.

Switch 2 isn't happening until 2022 at the earliest. How is that "on the horizon"? Everything is on the horizon then.
nintendo said in early 2018 that they want switch to last longer than a normal gen, which is 5-6 years for them. So 2022, more likely 2023

Era members need to stop trying to make old gaf memes work. Italian meal, Thor 2, I'm an expert, etc....
Agreed. I hate these, especially anytime I see the thor references. Let them die :(

Any one who doesn't realize this is a joke thread, even if they didn't see the original on gaf, is a cop.
I still laugh when I see that Italian meal photo. I'm sorry. He was so happy with his purchase when he posted.
