@PlayerEssence @PigeonGoGaming If the Switch 2 continues to sell as great as it is, yeah, I can see it happening. Still, 5 million units in almost one year is pretty damn amazing. It'll be interesting to see if it hits the 10 million mark this year.

@PigeonGoGaming It's underneath PS4 launch alined and PS4 didn't do great in Japan. These numbers aren't good. Switch 2 is about to pass the PS5 later this year in less than 2 years on the market. There's no way Sony or anybody can consider 7.5 million in 5 years+ solid.

🚨 NEWS: Solid numbers gentlemen! 🙂‍↕️👏 The PlayStation 5 has officially sold over 7.5M lifetime units in Japan! The PlayStation 5 launched for Japan, back in November 12, 2020. (Via Famitsu)

@NicktoonFan Is this really necessary? The film is already well received. It's making money. It's doing great. Who cares?

Say something nice about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Sure it has flaws, but the hate is not necessarily needed. It needs to stop. 😮‍💨

@PlayerEssence @AlternateJkst @JuiceMan_V @SirozenR I wonder how this one will do considering how costly it is. Then again, if it DOES have all the content on it.... Well, who knows.

@AlternateJkst @JuiceMan_V @SirozenR Yeah you will. Many Game Key Cards have had sales and AAA 3rd party games on Switch 2 get discounted all the time like Street Fighter, Cyberpunk, Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Elden Ring being a late port + GKC + $80 is probably going to be a wait for sale or skip for many. The value is there based on the DLC being included So it breaks down as $50 for the base game and $30 the expansion. No official release date yet it seems.

@PlayerEssence @homebrewGT Oh yeah, context is different. The 93 Mario movie launched in an unacceptable state, and even the creators behind that film were not thrilled with it. (Neither were audiences.) Also, I don't think we can include the 2026 movie in the same league as this newest game.

Bro, if the devs are claiming there are game breaking bugs and it's in a unaccetable state.... AND reviewers are saying the same thing... uh, I'm NOT going to play it. The Mario Movie producers weren't saying the movie launched in an unacceptable state. I highly doubt the fans are going to think Samson is a good game like they think the Mario Movie is good.

alright... go get it peeps! It's only $25

@PlayerEssence I am gonna take a wild guess and say that this is only a placeholder price for right now since we have no release date yet.

@ankoromochuu I've seen all of them. The dubs on all these are great.

Okay, I'll be clear. I absolutely loathe what is going on in our country or in the Iran. We shouldn't have gotten involved. And I stand by that. We need to ditch the man who calls himself "king" (you know who I'm talking about) and bring decency back. #BlueTsunami2026

@JonComms Calling it one of the worst videogame movies ever made does not even come close. IT's nowhere near that . That applied to the 93 version, but this one? No way. It's not perfect, but it's in no way awful.

Galaxy definitely falls apart when you think about it with any critical eye but it's still a fun switch your brain off time with plenty to activate Nintendo brain neurons I could give you 20 game adaptions with no respect for what they're adapting while being far more boring

@rachel_reviews Oh yeah, the film is totally fine. It's not a five-star masterpiece but it is nowhere near the 93 version. (That may not seem like much, but considering what a trainwreck that turned out to be, I'll take this one anyday.)

All I have to say is if you are someone who gave Mario a 0/5 and said it made you physically painful you better mean it. You only get so many times when you can use that kind of hyperbole so you better mean it...

@OdysseyJurassic Agreed. Mario 93 WAS a hideous disaster. But this one, while perhaps too light on story and character, is still at the very least a decent movie.

I really don’t understand people who say that the Galaxy movie is the worst video game movie ever made. Like, no it’s not. It needs some improvement but it’s 100% not the worst. Minecraft movie, Super Mario 1993, and Doom are WAY worse than the Galaxy movie

@ZeldaUniverse Yeah, I liked it enough. Although I would have preferred more character and story development, the film was still enjoyable, especially Fox McCloud's scenes.

Zelda fans, be honest with us... Have you seen The Super Mario Galaxy Movie? Did you enjoy it?

@Stealth40k Looks like Switch 2 is about to bust past 5 million. Nice.

Hardware sales in Japan last week (Famitsu): 1) Switch 2 – 65,725 (Total: 4,951,516) 2) PS5 - 19,404 (Total: 7,486,998) 3) Switch - 18,542 (Total: 36,684,996) 4) Xbox Series: 103 (Total: 696,004) 5) PS4 - 16 (Total: 7,930,426) gematsu.com/2026/04/famits…

@JTNintendoFan64 @TheNCSmaster Honestly? I would have like a bit more meat to the characters and the plot, but otherwise it was perfectly enjoyable.

@TheNCSmaster It had almost no licensed music. The pacing, while not perfect, absolutely felt a lot better, at least prior to the Fossil Falls bit. The story, while not super-deep, is stronger. It did learn from the criticisms to some degree. Just maybe not as much as some would've wanted.

(1/2) I think part of the problem some have with the Mario Galaxy movie is it didn’t seem to learn much from the criticisms of the first film Not to kick this hornets nest, but I think part of the reason the Sonic movies have become so beloved is…

@PlayerEssence @PigeonGoGaming Yeah, honestly? In times like this you gotta go with your own opinion. These days it's about what YOU think, not what they think.

@PigeonGoGaming Nobody actually cares about Rotten Tomatoes scores tho

🚨 NEWS: It's slipping further... 😐 The Rotten Tomatoes critic score for "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" has slipped to an abysmal 42% 💀 But on the bright side... The audience score is holding at an incredible 90% 🫡 🤔 Do you think the scores will fall further?

@YeezyTatum @Stealth40k Regrettably, there always will be naysayers no matter what. It's just how it's always been. I personally would've liked more character development and story beats, but otherwise I had a blast.

@Stealth40k i thought it was really good, idk why people are giving it such a hard time this go around. my only complaint is yea it didn’t feel like an adaptation of the Mario Galaxy game but it was still a really enjoyable animated film. as much as the first one was in my opinion

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reportedly did $68.4 million worldwide during the first day of release. This is a slightly bigger than the original Super Mario Bros. Movie. deadline.com/2026/04/box-of…

@PlayerEssence Oh definitely for sure. I loved the Star Fox scenes. All of them. They were among the standouts of the show. And the references were great, too. They had me grinning from ear to ear.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was fun, so many cool references to Mario and Nintendo games. The Star Fox parts were hype 🔥

@PlayerEssence Probably. I wouldn't have minded, though. I love seeing rich, interesting characters and there are numerous opportunities to do it. As mentioned, though, I loved Fox. Glen really nailed that character.

@Turnajon Might push the run time a bit longer but for sure.

Watching the Mario Galaxy movie today 🔥

@PlayerEssence Well, there were a couple of moments that I wish could have been explored a bit more — Mario's crush on Peach and even though I liked Bowser's arc in this one, I felt that Peach and Rosalina was the more interesting. Just my little quibble. Otherwise though the film WAS good.

@Turnajon Character development in a Mario movie?

In celebration #TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie, here's my panel on Mario's career on the big screen, including the disastrous 93 film, and the 2023 one. (I did it that year, so Galaxy couldn't be inclulded.) Nonetheless, I am proud of it. youtu.be/6otZClKPVuI?si… via @YouTube

@OBE1plays Well deserved. I love this system.

Nintendo 3rd party software sales are up 76% from 2024 to 2025! Switch 2 came out in June so that’s only half a year worth of impact! The days of buying a Nintendo system just to play Nintendo games are gone!
