So if that's the case, you can sort of see what's happening here, right?

So you re-release Galaxy and Galaxy 2.

You get people familiar with those properties, excited for the movie.

You know, you put out a Mario Tennis game in which baby Mario and Luigi play a major part, and then that comes back into play in the movie.

Then you introduce Star Fox into the movie, and then you roll out the first Star Fox game in a decade, right?

And...

The woman in your theater will be so happy to know that, yeah, this is a character who has a life beyond this multiplex.

And another report, you know, not a shocker, but no 3D Mario until 2027, supposedly.

And so the wait will continue there.

And it's just can Nintendo keep people interested with some of the, you know, lower tier properties?

No offense to Fox, right?

But, you know, will that be enough to sustain people's interests?

And will the 3D Mario movie keep for a while because people are, you know, given the Mario movie to entertain them until then?

Yeah.

So, you know, to put it in the context of that corporate strategy and the switch to some of the sales flagging in the U.S.

at least, you can kind of piece things together and see what they're thinking.

But even the Mario movie, as much money as it will make for gamers, which we are here at Button Mesh, you know, this is not the main event, right?

Like this is the appetite wetter.

This is the amuse-bouche for the Mario masterpiece that we hope we will get sometime soon.

What happened?
