Adapting video games for the big screen can be difficult, but that particular subgenre has had some success in recent years. One of the best video game movies is arguably The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which hit over a billion dollars at the box office. A sequel title was just revealed, and it looks like my favorite Nintendo character to play as is headed to the big screen: Rosalina.
This news comes to us from the latest Nintendo Directs, which offers updates about games, movies and more. During the video it was revealed that The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 will actually be an adaptation of the iconic game Mario Galaxy games. Check out the logo below:
Well, this is thrilling. The Mario Galaxy games were wildly popular, introducing new gaming mechanics to everyone’s favorite plumber. This cosmic property also introduced Rosalina, who has magical abilities and lives within/takes care of the stars. Since her debut back in 2007 she’s become a playable character in titles like Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. and Mario Party. I’m psyched to see her on the big screen, and eager to know who might voice the fan favorite character. Hopefully we get more information about this sooner rather than later.
More to come…
