BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The first real look at Illumination and Nintendo’s The Super Mario Bros Movie dropped today, and it’s… well, it’s pretty fantastic.
I hope Bullet Bills are in it
I’m not gonna mince words, or pretend to have some kind of objectivity here. I’m just not. This. movie looks incredible.
Yes, I know this is just a teaser, and doesn’t really show all that much, but what’s here is pure eye-candy, especially for an old school Mario Bros fan. The trailer opens with a look at King Koopa himself, is packed from open to close with SMB staples, and ends with… well, it ends with a little hint of Luigi’s Mansion.
You’ll see.
