Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Let's Talk About The Mario Galaxy Movie
Q: Natalie asks who would be cast as the rest of the major Star Fox characters.
The discussion includes fan-casting ideas such as Michael Cera as Slippy, Andy Samberg as Falco, Jon Goodman as Peppy, and various other actors for Crystal, Wolf, and others, highlighting a playful, speculative casting exercise rather than confirmed plans.
Let's Talk About The Mario Galaxy Movie
Q: Amages asks if Zelda movie expectations have changed after the Mario Galaxy release.
The hosts respond that Zelda will likely require a different storytelling approach, with more emphasis on narrative depth and character development, and that the Zelda project will be a different studio and medium, so expectations should be recalibrated accordingly.
What Could Have Saved the Partner Direct?
Q: Is there any chance of Baldur's Gate 3 coming to Switch 2 later on?
Yes, it's possible, especially if there's a financial incentive for Larian to do so down the line.
What Could Have Saved the Partner Direct?
Q: Do you think a company like Capcom will port some of their RE Engine titles to Switch 2 that weren't on Switch at all?
Yes, given Capcom's history of porting, it's likely we will see more of their titles on Switch 2 if they continue to sell well.
Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Has Problems
Q: What do you think is the greatest Nintendo compilation out there?
For me, it's Super Mario All-Stars due to its archival content and the remade visuals.
