When talking about the next 3D Mario game there are so many things we need to take into consideration and one of those things is obviously how impressive is this game going to look. Now on our channel we don't talk a ton about visual stuff until we actually get the game revealed but there's some information floating out there that could lead to us maybe setting some expectations maybe the expectations might be set a little too high but I don't know what you guys 3D Mario games have always looked absolutely gorgeous to me even when you go look back at Mario 64 for its time it was a very beautiful game but even when you look it's just a little bit further ahead let's just glance at things like Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy 2 both of those even on the Wii look utterly fantastic and then obviously we all know about Super Mario Odyssey here on Nintendo Switch I'm sorry put that thing on any system it looks good I'm very very impressed with the visuals in that game and a lot of it just has to do with the cartoony style mixed with some realistic stuff and the way that Nintendo does it just seems to always work but there are things going on out in the world that we need to consider when looking towards what this game is going to look like now before I get into this information and discuss and even show an example because by the way we have an awesome example to show I want to remind you guys that we're on our road to 150,000 subscribers so I'd appreciate if you drop a like subscribe to the channel wringling that dingling uh you know that's hit the little bell and get notified of all of our videos all right so first we got to head over to this Zippo blog and again I know Zippo may not be the most reliable insider leaker whatever you want to call him it's fine he suggested Nintendo is going to be using Unreal Engine and a big thing that he said was that you know EPD Tokyo slash one-up studio would be doing it and down here he mentioned you know a little birdie told him that a new major Mario titles in their works for the next system they'll be using Unreal Engine 4 now Andy Robinson previously told us that 3D Mario is a launch game for Switch 2 so this is presumably what this is for now again I don't know how much stock we could put into what Zippo put out here but what I do know is that Nintendo has been using Unreal Engine 4 and internally Pikmin 4 is a beautiful looking game for the switch you know got that for the switch caveat in there and it's made with Unreal Engine and that was made by an internal Nintendo studio headed by Shigeru Miyamoto so I'm just pointing out that Nintendo has been playing around with this idea of using Unreal Engine now an engine is just an engine it's not an art style so while a lot of us in our minds have this idea of what an Unreal Engine game looks like we don't really necessarily have a great frame of reference for the possibilities and I want to take a look at this thing made by a fellow YouTuber Funzi Funzi seat I don't know there'll be a link to it down in the description games and he did this really awesome thing we're making a Super Mario game in RTX with Unreal Engine 5 and when you watch this obviously I don't think that what you're seeing on screen right now is exactly the style you're going to see obviously he took more of a let's make a side scrolling Mario but then put it in a 3D perspective the enemies aren't really even moving obviously Mario looks a little bit floaty it is what it is but it just sort of gives you an idea of some of the things that might be allowed with an Unreal Engine now again I'm not saying that this is what the game is going to look like I don't want anyone thinking this but it is just an example anyways as he swishes that goomba of what is possible with a engine like this in a Mario style game it's pretty entertaining here as he's burning down some stuff and I just look at this as an example of possibilities and I really like the idea of Nintendo using a modern engine now the thing is I've never had a problem with any of the engines Nintendo has used with Mario like whatever is going on with Super Mario Wonder I'm good right like whatever they're using it looks fantastic and whatever they did with Odyssey it looks great so I it's not even that I think they need to use Unreal Engine but it's just sort of set in an example of like if fans can do stuff like this what could Nintendo pull off and I think that is the exciting part because look Pikmin 4 feels like a Pikmin game even though it's using Unreal Engine so I do think that there is something to be said for the possibilities that exist out there with Unreal Engine so I really just dreaming the dream is what I like to do I mean we have another example clip here that I have shown off before this is more of sort of remaking Mario Odyssey a little bit some animations and stuff from the game in Unreal Engine and again looks really really good you see Mario here doing his thing so silly again and this is all just fan-created projects can you imagine what Nintendo could do with this engine and I think Nintendo is getting more and more comfortable with Unreal Engine again they just used it for an internally developed game so regardless of Zippo I think that this is setting some expectations for what we could see from 3D Mario at launch on well the switch to so what I want to get are your thoughts are your expectations as high as mine that's the big thing are they as high as mine because my expectations are heading to the clouds because prior Mario games have always looked great now we got you know even more power we're gonna have like a portable PlayStation 4 slash PlayStation 4 pro going on and Nintendo is gonna have the power to do stuff like this and they could use it you know a more capable engines that are better built for their hardware to do it so I'm just saying as we're watching Bowser laugh and fly away that I really really want something like this to happen so what are your expectations for 3D Mario do you think it's going to end up looking as great as we saw in those two examples do you think it's going to end up using Unreal Engine you think Nintendo is going to go in a different direction I have no idea but I want to pose this question to you because I'm so so excited for the future of Mario at this point that I just couldn't help it I had I had to talk about it today you guys let me know what you think about the future of Mario and 3D Mario in particular do you think it's going to end up looking like this or even just more gorge I don't even know like I was just playing Mario Odyssey yesterday and I don't remember a game from Mario looking better and it looks so good I just oh man anyways guys you guys let me know what you think about this down in the comments below I am Nathaniel Ruffleschamps from Nintendo Prime and I'll catch you in the next video
