The Super Mario Bros movie was the most profitable film of 2023: https://deadline.com/2024/05/the-super-mario-bros-movie-profits-1235902894/
 

 

I got Brilliant Diamond and I have to say, I'm very impressed with it. I'm also shocked that there's people out there who don't like it. I found this way more enjoyable than Sword/Shield.

Could it be that Nintendo have been looking at this and how to incorporate games into the Switch’s successor?  I agree about the size issues, and so would either need to ensure a suitable streaming service, or plenty of storage space (I can only imagine they’d treat the app similarly to the current NSO ones). Having it early doors would ensure plenty of games for people to play in the new system.  I think Luigi’s Mansion would be on this as opposed to an HD remix.

So...I "beat" the game? Or not, I guess...I can't really talk about anything without spoiling stuff so...there you go. YOU GOT NOTHING AND THIS POST IS WORTHLESS. Edit: Well, FUCK! A lot of stuff makes sense, a lot of stuff is still beyond me, but I did find some secrets. I think the game opened up quite a bit for me now.
