 So Nintendo is celebrating Mario right there seemingly doing this every year or every other year or so where they celebrate this thing called March 10th aka Mario Day right because you add Mar and 10 together hey it's March 10th Mario Day and they do this celebration where they are just talking about Nintendo and talking about Mario and and celebrating everything that Mario is and what it's meant and his iconic status for Nintendo and yeah it's actually a pretty neat little celebration and the thing about Nintendo and celebrating Mario is they do a lot of really strange things because again this is primarily a marketing event for them they're using this to sell you more Mario stuff and they announced a bunch of things right we have sweepstakes for different Lego sets and you go in a peach outfit and you can do a I don't know some sales there's sales out there right now on certain Mario games that are $20 off on the eShop or at select retailers and there's going to be special demos for games that have already released at retailers later this month so yeah it's just a giant marketing event for Nintendo for Mario and look one of the coolest things we got out of it was a Princess Peach Showtime demo now look Mar 10 is not here yet that's this Sunday so there's probably more announcements coming Pioro threw out into the ether that we should be expecting news and trailers and stuff on the Ouija's match into HD and Thousand Year Door which again are older games but still they're coming out in new forms later this year on switch so yeah we should obviously expect some news about that that was probably a given for Mario day but the Princess Peach Showtime demo obviously wasn't a guarantee Nintendo doesn't do demos for everything and yes personally I actually really enjoy the Princess Peach Showtime demo and I don't I'm not really that hard on it some people talk about how easy it is and the audience it's for I wonder if they even played the second portion of the demo the first portion is really just an introduction then you get into the cake baking stuff and I'm telling you right now I still have it 100 percent at it and I've tried and I've tried and I've tried I got that one star with the you know trying to bake the damn cakes that I just can't quite do and I don't really feel like they give me enough time to do it but it must clearly be possible because I have seen people pull it off so yeah I actually really enjoy the Princess Peach thing it's made by good feel seemingly is using Unreal Engine for just like their prior game with the Yoshi stuff and yeah it has a few frame rate hiccups and stuff like that doesn't seem to impact me in the general gameplay but you do notice it here and there that being said I'm just really glad we got the demo because actually I'm more convinced now than I was before the demo to actually pick up the game whether or not it's going to be worth the full price that is obviously yet to be determined you're not going to be able to determine that off a tiny demo like this it just gives you a couple playable things that's about 30 minutes in length look at the whole game's beatable in a couple of hours then yeah probably not worth the 60 bucks just because yeah if it's just a quick little collection of minigames like this is all we really do as an engine I always see in other footage showing that there's clearly more things we do with these costumes but for right now what we got to play was just a very very tiny taste of the game and for me it did a good enough job playing the entire thing to sell me on the fact that you know what there's a lot of interesting ideas here I actually might pick this up and hey we'll probably live stream it and all of that but that's not really what the why I'm making this video because look we could do a whole impression video on Princess Peach Showtime it is to me one of the more fascinating things they announced but I actually want to dive into this other thing that really just it bothers me even though it probably shouldn't because I know that this is just a marketing event from the Selmore Mario stuff but they dropped a video celebrating the Mario series going over the history of the mainline Mario games because obviously if you do more than that the video could be like two hours long there's so many spinoffs and it starts off all fighting well with the original and you got the Game Boy you got all this kind of stuff and then you get to the Nintendo 64 and the next game they show after that is New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe and it's very strange now if you're actually paying attention it makes sense what they're doing they're only showing games that are available in some form on Nintendo Switch so whether it's through Nintendo Switch online or games you can go purchase right now on the eShop whatever the case might be they're only showing off games in this celebration of Mario that you can actually buy or play in some form by giving Nintendo money like an online subscription service I am really bothered by this because they're skipping over games that you used to be able to buy on Switch remember Super Mario 3D All Stars and they came out with that remember how they gave us sunshine remember how they gave us galaxy and now they're pretending they didn't even do that just because you can't buy it on Switch anymore for starters can we just talk about the whole 3D All Stars thing and how really crappy that wasn't the first place and I understand the original Super Mario All Stars was also a limited release although now it's back on NSO I find this to be fascinating to me that they're not even recognizing that they even made them available to purchase at some point on Switch and on top of that when making a generalized video about the history of the mainline Mario games how do you not mention sunshine how do you not mention Galaxy and Galaxy 2 even though they're not available right now how do you not get into Super Mario 3D land and you know what when you're talking about new Super Mario Brothers you deluxe what about all the other Super Mario Brothers you games or the new Super Mario Brothers games what about all of those it didn't start with you deluxe that was just the final one it's it's just it's kind of frustrating as a big fan of Mario to watch them drop this celebration of Mario thing for Mario day and all they're showing is what they can pedal and sell to you and it I mean at least it's not quite as frustrating as I mean look they just re-released mother three again in Japan for NSO and of course we just can't get that in the west although yeah you can play through the NSO app it it's well get the Japanese one I just it's frustrating to me how Nintendo just kind of overlooks their own snafus there's no reason in my humble opinion that Super Mario 3D All Stars should not have maintained availability on the damn eShop I understand taking away physical copies you want to make that a limited run thing there's no reason that you can't buy it on the eShop other than Nintendo just doing this whole FOMO thing to temporarily increase sales even though sales over time could even be higher Nintendo's not going to lower the price anyways it's not like we expect them to lower the price over time it's just it's dumb and it's dumb because they'll probably bring it back again into 4k on switch 2 and use FOMO again to make us buy it all over the time and maybe they throw in maybe that's when we get Galaxy 2 maybe that's like hey next time we re-release Super Mario 3D All Stars on switch 2 we'll throw Galaxy 2 in to give you another reason to spend even more money and spend $70 for something you previously have but we took it away but because it's only temporarily available this is such a good deal and we're such good people it look I love Mario and I'm all for celebrating Mario even once a year like like next year I believe is the 40th anniversary of Mario the new super not the new super Super Mario Brothers right I believe next year is the 40th anniversary and that is awesome because this year's the 40th anniversary of Donkey Kong so I get it like this is a really cool thing we're gonna get more Mario movies I won't be surprised that they announced one by the end of this year a second one or maybe a Donkey Kong movie or something that gets announced my end of the year I wouldn't be surprised if we get you know a 3D Mario game the next big one announced before the end of the year if they reveal switch to maybe a new Mario card or something else look I expect lots of Mario in my future in all of our futures just personally I'm just really bothered that they did this history of Mario thing then they skipped over all the games that aren't don't happen to be available on switch including ones that at one point were available on switch and they just ripped it away I just I don't know man like at least a sour taste of my mouth for Mario day is awesome as I think getting the Princess Peach demo was and getting to try out Princess Peach Showtime and as awesome as the likely trailers coming for Thousand Year Door and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD will be I just can't be let's just put it this way March 10th is going to come and go Mario day and I'm just I have a sour taste in my mouth already just because of games we did have we no longer are going to get and Nintendo just ignoring the fact that there's a grander history of Mario beyond switch and it kind of just highlights Nintendo shortcomings and making their older games available and it's just it's very ill timed at that after hey they just did this whole settlement with Yuzu and you know Nintendo going all in with these massive headlines on how anti-piracy they are and anti-emulation and one of the largest arguments from the piracy and emulation community is well you just don't make your games available Nintendo and we're talking about Mario the only way you could play like the original New Super Mario Brothers or New Super Mario Brothers we is if you still have a functioning we still have a functioning DS or 3DS since it's backwards compatible or I guess a Wii U since it's backwards compatible if you still have these systems that are no longer being so brand new and happen to have a game that you're going to have to buy second hand to even enjoy it's just it's frustrating like Nintendo you're not making these things available in any convenient way today and this is just highlighting that in the middle of you obviously going after emulation and again I'm not someone who emulates games but it's just really bad optics around what should really be a true celebration and look even if you're afraid of highlighting those games because it would bring up this conversation not acknowledging part of Mario's history just because it's not available to spend money on right now it's just short sighted in my opinion it really is even if we were reminded and we couldn't buy it some people might go in the opposite way well I didn't intend to remind us because now we can't really buy these games because it's a video about celebrating all that Mario is and we should be able to do that in a non-restrictive way it shouldn't always just be about what you can buy believe it or not Mario fans are well aware of what's available to buy on switch Mario's not hurting for sales it would just would be nice if you're truly celebrating Mario that while we understand it's a massive marketing opportunity to sell a bunch of stuff that you don't forget there's a history of Mario as well that you're trying to make us forget about and I don't like it I just don't like it Mario is who Mario is his entire history matters heck where's the where's where's Mario is typing I know it's not a mainline one but I'd like to see that or hotel Mario I know I know too much to ask all right guys thank you so much for tuning in I am the Thunder Robo Jets let me know if you just think this is really strange and it bothers you at all and I will catch you guys in the next video
