>>553338470This year will have good stuff for Mario.
>>553338470Mario Tennis Fever roster.
>>553339050We need the Mario Sluggers roster era back.
>>553339050Picking Toadette, Mario, Chain Chomp, and Dry bones when I get this game. >>5533393432000s era Nintendo really just let every Mario character they had in the games. It was kino.
Daisy, my beloved.
>>553339050how are Luma, Kamek, Diddy, Petey, Boom, and Bloop playable here but not in World, despite World having more characters overall?
>>553339343Never gonna happen again unless the Switch 3 for whatever reason has the exact same graphical strenght of the Switch 2 allowing them to just reuse all assets of the S2 games for their S3 counterparts.That's a thing people often, forget, but Baseball and Strikers on the Wii only had so much content because they outright copypasted chunks of the original GC games and added on top of them.
>>553341336Because half of World's roster features brand new 3d models and also are characters they could use as part of the world as obstacles/scenery NPCs. Like they didn't outright decide "Conkdor is more important than Diddy" as much as Diddy and Petey simply suffered due to being less important than Bowser Jr. and Waluigi but also not generic enough to be able to become both a playable character or an enemy you find among the races that could be easily turned into a playable character.Meanwhile Fever's roster is just them polishing the Aces models most of the time, which is also why the roster is basically 99% Aces characters reusing the same animations.
How should be a Mario Galaxy 3?> Like Bowser Fury but with Planet instead island>Odyssey with sorta Big island sections
>>553345997It shouldn't exist at all. I'd rather they just do a brand new 3D Adventure that sometimes uses the "rooted gravity sphere" gimmick if they have an interesting idea for it over doing a third Galaxy for absolutely no benefit.
>>553345997Semi-linear levels like the original Galaxies. Galaxy wouldn't work in a more open format.
Mario soon
how is tatanga so bad at holding places that he can't even get out of his own spaceship
Speaking of Tatanga he will 100% get a small cameo in the movie
>>553341228
>>553361160Piss off.
>>553361160That's a certified gem. Keep fixing those images.
>>553361160Imagine if Dobson was still around and blamed AI for not being able to get an artist job instead of blaming anime.
>>552182535
>>553321497Yes, I often masturbate looking at a mirror.
>>553360575I wish he was the main antagonist instead.
>>553378731
>>552117448
AI slop needs to stop it's poisoning the water hole
Why are mods not deleting spam? Too busy sucking cock?
>>553386271>>553387116Why are you crying over that anon improving those images?
>>553390390kys
>>553390390Suck my Mario nuts.
>>553390390You can like AI without shitting on original art.
>>553053487>>553387116Spam? None of you are posting images. This thread is hours old and only contains 2 screenshots and 2 artworks. This is a dead thread. Cry about it or post your own images.
>They FINALLY added a based character to WorldAbout time it's worth $70
>>553394216A comfy thread doesn't need flood sludge dumped in it. It being slow isn't a reason. Why do most Aifags have to shit on things for prop up their stuff?
>>553394216the shitposter (if it isn't you) calling everything you touch "better than the original" is raising annoyance to the ai posts
>>553394642>Generic LE CHAOTIC EVIL anime villain>BasedHe sucks
>>553394642He's kino.
>>553394216Don't let the shitposters get you down.
>>553390390Quit pretending you're not the guy posting this shit.>>553394216Nobody asked for your shit. Fuck off.
>>553398689Anon where do you think you are? Nobody asks for anything around here. People just post whatever they want, whenever they want, and it's always been this way. There's a hide post button for a reason, so learn to make use of it.And to be perfectly clear, when I say around here I mean 4chan as a whole.Quit acting like a newfag.
And so the pattern repeats.

>>553399810That's a whole lotta words to pretend to not be the faggot spamming AI.I state again, fuck off.
>>553401601kwab
>>553394642>RPG characterNever ever.
>>553401994shit eater
>>553341228Luigi…>>553341336Kamek was relegated to an item. Plus Fever's Kamek can be either Kamek or just a Magikoopa. But it seems only Treehouse can differ them.

>>553423824Become one with the Kuribo shoe.
>>553398689Can you not handle that multiple people think AI is good? Go back if you can't handle AI. AI is here to stay.
>>553433569Just fuck off. Fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off. AI is evil it's not welcome here i dont' care wht anyone says it's directly threatening my livelihood so i don't care if anyone here likes it I'm not going to see AI in my safe space. Please just fuck off already no AI. No AI. No AI. NO AI. Please just stop, why do you have to be such a massive shitposters PLEASE just let me have one place free of AI PLEASE

>>553446725>>553447686>>553447840>>553447976Looks like AI.

I love Luigi
>>553454859Luigi SUCKS.
>>553455546No >:(
>>553453857Are you Japanese?>>553454859Daisy…
>>553411918>>553458956Faggot...
>>553339343Even with assets ready to reuse, they won't do anything like this again. It was lightning in a bottle.>Diddy + Dixie, Funky and even Tiny, the Kremlings AND K. Rool>Piantas + Nokis and Petey>Toadsworth>Baby DK who's only appeared in this spinoff to date>No Koopalings>No Rosalina, the big one at the time who was white hot>No Nabbit or Pauline, the former didn't exist and the latter still stuck in MvsDK hell>No shit like PGP or powerups as separate characters>Balance of NPC's and established characters, in a game like baseball, you could get away with more mooks filling your team>Recolors weren't just cosmetic, they had different statsIt's a bold roster, one that looks more like a celebration of Mario as a whole rather than one that primarily focuses on gameplay and balance, and if it does, it did so in a way that would please a lot of people. It wasn't supervised or controlled by a committee and it shows.Only mistake was not making K. Rool a captain and adding some of the Barrel Blast Kremlings, mainly Klump, Kip and Kass. They were made for games like this.
>>553461167What about Yoshi's Island DS?
>>553461839That was a mainline Yoshi game.But still a spinoff from Mario, so fair enough.Another thing about Sluggers was that Birdo was important enough to be a captain. Her and Diddy would be regulated to regular teammates. Jr. and maybe Waluigi too going by Wonder.
https://x.com/EtrisTristan/status/2010339244326137982Can anyone confirm this? If true, the second trailer will have a Direct 30 minutes before the Superb Owl (with the game having a spot version instead I think).
>>553463763No one cares about Minions 5 feat. Mario, so I will not be checking shit
>>553465104>Worst excuse award.
>>553399349
>>553399539
>>553466535>>553467325Good work.
smelling a samefag
Are you still crying about AI?
>People liked the Mission mode in Mario Kart DS>World has an open world>They don't put the DS's boss fights in that Open world so they can pad it>While Kirby Air rider has boss battle I don't get it
The constant re-validation you need to give ai every time is posted seems like a cry for attention. Just post it and leave it.
>>553361160>>553367943>>553383180>>553384476I got the Google AI Pro trial for 3 months.How do i do stuff like this? I use stuff like NovelAI which has pretty accessible tools for messing around with artstyles and designs. NanoBanana Pro look like it only rely on text and image uploads, can i draw and edit images in this?
But I don't post the AI, I just like the AI and want the artist to know that I liked it so he makes more.
>>553395865Chaos is based, lil timmy.
>>553400371>>553390390>>553362375I'm not "improving" or "fixing" the images. I just think it's interesting to see what they would like like in the official 3D style. That's it!>>553395619It's weird, I don't get these holier-than-thou AI worshipping snobs in /sthg/. At most I get are requests of "hey can you make my drawing 3D" or "can you put Elias Acorn in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds" or stuff like that. Nobody putting down original 2D art. Not a fan of that mentality at all.>>553433980/sthg/ doesn't have AI doomers either, which is weird. I'm not even the only Geminiposter over there, so you should probably avoid those generals lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>553469667It isn't me, if I wanted validation I'd just keep posting in /sthg/. I just like Mario as well so I figured I'd post some conversions in here, too.>>553469767My prompt for those is literally just "Render in 3D" lol. Sometimes you have to specify in the style of the video game promotional art because tragically the Illumination film has poisoned the water hole, so to speak.
>>553470674Damn that sucks but I'll note that, seems really simple.
>>553469767I should specify I just use the Gemini Android app! You can do some basic “Mark up” with the Sketch and Text tools, but every edit I do is just with text prompts. If you want better fine-tuning, the latest Photoshop Beta has Nano Banana Pro for Generative Fill.
If the Mushroom Kingdom is England, which places would Scotland and Ireland be?>>553469663Don't it have Nabbit and Chargin' Chuck?
>>553471540You forgot Wales, so I'm not going to give you the secret code to the Mario World UK.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMiUXXDZyPQWhat would you say if you were a Toad after hearing this song?>>553472914Wales was part of the Kingdom of England. And it's still legally part of England as England and Wales.
>>553470028>>553470674Then do it without posting them here when AI threads exist.For not wanting validation, you sure seem persistent on keeping it up against backlash.
>>553473191not everyone is backlashing though, it's half and half
>>553473358It's not 50/50. It's you replying to yourself. You're not tricking anyone here.
Why are anti-AI posters such schizos?
>>553474396Gem.
How would you feel if we finally got another new Mario mobile game for the 40th anni? I’d be excited
>>553475345I don't want a cashgrab mobileslop low effort predatory Nintendo gacha. Have you seen that Nintendo has finally started to release alt color joycons, but instead of making the shell different colored it's just the tiny highlights that you don't see when it's not plugged in to the Switch.
>>553473191I don't see an "AI-generated Pictures of Mario Characters General" so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯>>553473806Literally not me, I never put down real art and I don't have the cringeworthy "erm ackshually AI is democratizing art" mentality of >>553319193
>>553475990Nice.
>>553475345im not sure id care too much, theres enough mobile games on the market too, maybe DLC for mario run?the mobile games were only made as part of a marketing thing for nintendo's IPs after the Wii U caused a bit of a slump. same with the nintendo classics consoles, which were literal linux boxes running an emulator.i doubt we will get anything new unless its something the switch cant do.speaking of, i wonder if we will ever get an actual reproduction of old consoles, as in actually accurate consoles that can play old games rather than emulation or that other thing i forgot the name of.
>>553475913And the analogs. Plus I remember when these mobile games were the only things to be translated into Brazilian Portuguese.>>553478965I remember Tec Toy doing it for the Mega Drive (Sega Genesis), but you gringos ignored it.
>>553475913I presume the current limits on the Joycon color designs is just because they're deathly terrified of Joycons2 looking like Switch 1 Joycons since the systems, visually, are already so close. They'll probably only start putting out bolder variants in 2027
What is in the cards for Mario for 2026? We have Tennis, a Yoshi game, Wonder DLC. a movie. Kart DLC seems like an inevitability. Maybe this is the year Next Level gives us LM4 or a Strikers that isn't underwhelming?
>>553488908Strikers is not happening. I remember back when Strikers was released NLG had linkeding hiring calls for their next project and whatever it was it was described as an action adventure game.It is likely either Luigi's Mansion 4 or something else entirely.
>>553444646
God this is so fucking funny>Switch 2 and games are more expensive than other Nintendo products>Less kids will get a Nintendo console this generation>Nintendo knows their customer base is made up of manchildren who grew up with their consoles and games BECAUSE they were cheaper than the other consoles>"Shit what do we do? We want to milk our nostalgia boner customer base but we also neeed little kids and babies to get into Nintendo ASAP">"I KNOW SIR! Let's make pre-school and baby toys! And give Mattel our license to make Little People toys!">"Brilliant."
>>553488908Kart DLC isn't guaranteed this year in my opinion. World is a lot more complete than 8 was on release. Might get some free updates adding small things but nothing like 8's DLC or 8DX's Booster Pass.
>>553495475There's nothing wrong with Nintendo branching out into getting more toys made. There wasn't a lot when I was growing up. That said, I would never buy something that was actually Mario for a baby. Maybe Yoshi or one of the various creatures, but Mario himself is unfitting.
>>553495732Bruh they've been "branching out into getting more toys made" since the original NES fever
>>553495510I feel the same. Mario Kart will keep selling well thru 2026, if I were Nintendo I'd wait for 2027 or 2028 to announce DLC that "renews" the interest in it
>>553495475It is absolutely funnier that you think low income households are unable to purchase the Switch 1 or Switch Lite and that you talk like the Mario Movie isn't routinely charting in the top 10 of streaming services under the "kids" category.
>>553413076
>>553496942Fuck off already
>>553496156Some toys have always existed, but there's been a lot more since the 10s.
>>553488908It's been 9 years since Odyssey, I'd like a new 3D Mario while the new system is hot. Though, I feel like if we were getting a new 3D Mario game this year, we'd know about it last year.
>>553496727LolAlso the Sonic movies may have made Sonic more mainstream but it sure as hell didn't translate to more sales.I can assure you it's the same for Mario.
>>553497124Oh yeah but they're regular ass toys and action figures, not fucking baby rattles and fisher-price toys
>>553497563>Also the Sonic movies may have made Sonic more mainstream but it sure as hell didn't translate to more sales.This needs to be said more, you'll be surprised how many people become Sonic 'fans' without actually playing the Sonic games. I won't say the games being shit are why that is, but it damn sure would help if any would-be newcomers had good games to dive into. But in general, the movies aren't for fans of the games, they're for shareholders and journalists who want those IP's in a form they can consume without actually going in the core sector of those IP's IE they don't want to play Super Mario Odyssey, they want to watch Super Mario Odyssey, if that makes sense. Kinda like the journalists who wanted Pokemon to go to mobile devices before Pokemon Go became a thing.
>>553497739Nothing wrong with expanding into baby toys as long as they fit. If baby toys are good enough for Spiderman, they're good enough for Mario. Some of those that I've got for my nephew are kind of cool.
>>553498190>they don't want to play Super Mario Odyssey, they want to watch Super Mario Odyssey,thats what youtubers are for.
>>552121925
>>553499627That waterslide one reminds me of that old waterslide game on the apple store. Was it maybe an ad for some brand?
>>553499627That's still too game-y, they want the actual movie experience, complete with Hollywood tropes and so on.
>>553500104More people watched some of those videos than play most Mario games.
>>553499627>Pipe.EXE
>>553457876
>>553501035The background is ass, but the original image had an AI-generated background too, so...anyways I am going to share a Mario take: the Wubbas were cool and should come back
I am going to share a bold Luigi series take:I did not care the Goobs of Luigi's Mansion 3.
Sexy man.
Flaming hot Peach series take: I liked the Theets from Princess Peach: Showtime and I hope they come back!
Do you guys think Theets and Zoombinis would get along...?
>Zoombinisthis autism is stretching far, kek
Do you guys think Clem Luigi's Mansion 3 and Ellis Left 4 Dead 2 would get along, or nah?
>Beat Reclusa>"KYUUUU GAGAGAGA!">Wake up and see Concordia completely demolished
>>553497563For decades now Mario has sold way more than Sonic.
