The WWE Studios filmography is an interesting thing to wade through. It's riddled with cinematic classics like The Marine 3: Homefront, 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded, and the horror masterpiece See No Evil, which ends with a dog urinating in the empty eye socket of WWE Superstar Kane. That's not to say the company's big-screen track record is all bad. Movies like Oculus, Sleight, and The Call--none of which are built around a WWE wrestler cameo--are legitimately good movies.So where does Fighting with My Family, the studio's first wrestling-centric biopic, land on that spectrum? As it turns out, it's actually WWE's best movie yet. That's not to say it's perfect, but WWE has taken a piece of its own history and crafted a truly engaging and inspiring film.Fighting with My Family follows the story of Saraya Bevis, who wrestling fans know better as retired WWE Divas Champion Paige. The film starts in her childhood and follows her upbringing within a family that runs its own independent wrestling company as she chases her dream of one day making it to the big league.Starring as Bevis is Florence Pugh, most recently seen in the Netflix movie Outlaw King. As the aspiring pro wrestler, Pugh manages to embody the cockiness that would eventually become Paige's in-ring persona, as well as the awkwardness and lack of confidence that comes with anyone coming of age. She swings wildly between knowing she's the best person suited to become WWE's next breakout star and being so unsure of herself that she's on the verge of giving up her dream because she doesn't think she's good enough, and it is incredibly believable the entire time.Also worth pointing out is Vince Vaughn as WWE trainer Hutch Morgan. There are times when the actor delivers the exact kind of deadpan humor he's known for while walking his students through the beginning steps of wrestling training. However, when he gets to the serious moments as Paige wonders if her choice to move to the US to chase her dream is a mistake, Vaughn shines. He's unrelenting as he hits the wannabe WWE superstar with the harsh truth that she might not be cut out for the reality of the fantasy she's built in her own mind. It's rare that we get to see Vaughn go to such an emotional place, and his sobering performance in Fighting with My Family is some of the best work of his career.The rest of the cast are no slouches either. As Paige's parents, Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz) and Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) ride the line between old school carny wrestling hustlers and a proud mom and dad well. Meanwhile, Jack Lowden (Mary Queen of Scots) is impressive as a brother who shares his sister's dream, only to be told he's never going to be good enough. There's also a motley crew of local kids Paige helps to train whose characters help the better define the world she's leaving behind.The only sore thumb sticking out, oddly enough, is Dwayne Johnson. The Rock plays himself and is something of a mentor that pops up a few times throughout the movie, and each appearance seems rather forced. Johnson's Seven Bucks Productions is one of the producers on this film, and he's been a very public supporter of telling this story, but outside of a scene in which he interacts with Frost's character over the phone, his moments disrupt the flow of the movie.As for the film itself, Fighting with My Family is largely great. It's an uplifting story of a young woman who refuses to give up, even when everyone tells her she should. As those who know wrestling history know, however, it paid off in the end. Watching this young woman go from awkward teenage Saraya to bonafide WWE Superstar Paige is inspiring and a fitting prequel to what has become WWE's women's revolution, which she was a huge part of.That all said, there are some problems with the movie and what they are is surprising. The film seems to have a huge misunderstanding of how professional wrestling and WWE work. While there were obviously going to be changes made, given that this is a film aimed at a mainstream audience, this being a WWE Studios movie should mean more than the company's various logos popping up throughout the story.Its portrayal of WWE's developmental brand NXT, and Paige's history with it, is quite different from reality. In NXT, Paige was an NXT Women's Champion and developed the "anti-diva" persona that got her over with crowds. That entire portion of her career isn't mentioned at all.As for misunderstanding wrestling, the film tries to work in "insider" lingo like delivering "receipts"--hitting your opponent back hard when they mistakenly hit you--but can't decide if the matches results themselves are predetermined or actual competitive contests.Honestly, though, these are gripes that only hardcore wrestling fans will likely have about the film. Mainstream audiences likely won't have the same kind of hangups about the inner-workings of sports entertainment. And, while some of these moments might be problematic to fans, they don't take away from what this movie is truly about. It's about a woman with a dream that risked literally everything to follow it and managed to help change an entire industry in the process. As far as wrestling goes, Paige is something of a superhero in that regard. This is her origin story.Fighting with My Family will release in select theaters on February 14.What's GoodWhat's BadThe cast, especially Vince Vaughn and Florence Pugh, are top notch.Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson sticks out like a sore thumb.It's a simple story that shines a light on the positive aspects of pro wrestling.This WWE Studios movie doesn't understand how WWE or wrestling worksThe characters populating her small English hometown are very entertaining. Paige's journey from working the indies with her family to becoming a WWE Superstar is engaging. Info from Gamespot.com

Before Super Bowl LIII officially began, viewers were treated to a few trailers, one of which was for Alita: Battle Angel, the upcoming blockbuster movie adaptation of the Japanese manga series. The movie is directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, and its special effects are front and center in the short trailer.Spectacle looks like its going to be a big part of the Alita: Battle Angel viewing experience and, between shots of Vector--who is played by Mahershala Ali--hunting the titular cyborg, we get to see some impressive shots of the futuristic setting. There's also some very threatening looking bad guys floating around.On February 14, the battle begins. Get tickets now at https://t.co/2z1IlXLBN5 #Alita pic.twitter.com/jOGga1hENZ — 20th Century Fox (@20thcenturyfox) February 3, 2019Alita: Battle Angel also stars Jennifer Connelly (Hulk), Ed Skrein (Deadpool), and Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen). When the first trailer for Alita was released in 2017, it sparked some controversy for the look of the title character--specifically, her unnaturally large eyes. At the time, Rodriguez explained at San Diego Comic Con that he wanted a realistic depiction of the source material, which in turn stayed true to James Cameron's wishes to bring the manga to life.To watch this year's Super Bowl, you can head over to CBS Sports and catch the game, along with the adverts and trailers, live.

This year's Super Bowl is delivering some fantastic, championship-level play, just without much scoring so far. More notably for Marvel fans, it also brought a new trailer for Avengers: Endgame--and you didn't even have to wait for the game to get underway to watch it. What more could you want? Finally, we get to learn a little more about the second Marvel movie of the year, in which the surviving heroes try and find a way to stop Thanos (and Captain America picks up his shield again for the first time in years).In this new Super Bowl LIII trailer for Avengers: Endgame, which you can watch above, the world is pretty bleak. This movie will take place sometime after the events of Infinity War, where the planet is trying to move on after so many were dusted away by Thanos. However, there is still a group of heroes who refuse to give up. These will be the Avengers who will try to make things right. But can they? You can get a rundown on everything in this new look at the movie in our Endgame Super Bowl trailer breakdown. Beyond everything it suggests to us about the plot, it's possible we also get a glimpse at a Rocket Raccoon outfit that diehard comic fans might recognize.Following the Endgame trailer, the Super Bowl also brought us a look at a new Captain Marvel trailer. We've got a breakdown of all the major details from it, though like this Endgame spot, it isn't especially long.The first trailer for Endgame debuted in early December, and it got more than 200 million views in the first 24 hours. It gave just enough away to leave fans speculating and to come up with crazy, completely non-probable theories. The new Super Bowl spot has helped shine a little bit of light on certain elements of the upcoming movie like who is left to defeat Thanos and just how far ahead in the future this movie takes place.Avengers: Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton, and Karen Gillan as Nebula. And you can see what happens to the heroes of the MCU for yourself when Endgame comes to theaters on April 26.It will be a big year for Marvel starting next month, when Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8. Check out one of the newer trailers for the movie to get acquainted with the character because she'll probably be a big part of Avengers: Endgame.Info from Gamespot.com

As expected, Super Bowl LIII has given us plenty of new trailers to watch. On top of a new Avengers: Endgame spot, Marvel and Disney offered viewers another quick look at Captain Marvel, which releases in theaters next month. The trailer begins with Carol Danvers getting ready to hop in a jet, saying she's ready to go "higher, further, and faster." You can get a full rundown in our Captain Marvel Super Bowl trailer breakdown.From there, there's quick cuts between hard-hitting moments of action, with Carol training, standing in the midst of some destruction in her Captain Marvel costume, being subsumed by energy, and flying into outer space where she launches projectiles at enemies. The whole time an almost robotic female voice can be heard saying, "higher, faster, further." It's pretty badass and you can watch it above--it's all a bit more optimistic than the Endgame trailer, where things remain fairly bleak.Captain Marvel follows the shocking conclusion of Avengers: Infinity War, during which Nick Fury put out a distress signal to Carol. How that moment plays into the ongoing broader story remains to be seen, but a younger version of Fury plays a central role in Captain Marvel, so we'll see plenty of him anyway. As for Captain Marvel herself, yes, the character is a woman.Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8. Check out one of the other trailers for the movie to get acquainted with the character before the movie releases, and before she becomes a big part of Avengers: Endgame too.

Super Bowl LIII was replete with trailers, and although movies are often the biggest draw--see: Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame--a few TV shows also caught viewers' attention. One of these is the upcoming Twilight Zone reboot from Get Out director Jordan Peele. The trailer pulled a bit of a bait and switch on us by interrupting what looked like the official Super Bowl broadcast, before cutting to an empty stadium.This was all setup to introduce Jordan Peele, who is not only producing the new Twilight Zone series, but is also narrating it. The stadium seems to exist in two different dimensions, with lights flicking on and off, sodas vanishing, and signs also disappearing in mid-air. Peele eventually asks the viewer to question the truth, and also what dimension they're in.The Twilight Zone is scheduled to premiere on April 1. The TV series will debut on CBS All Access, and be exclusive for subscribers. The first two episodes will be available for subscribers on Monday, April 1, with new ones releasing on a weekly basis from Thursday, April 11.Along with Peele, The Twilight Zone's cast includes Ike Barinholtz, John Cho, Lucinda Dryzek, Taissa Farmiga, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, Adam Scott, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jefferson White, Jonathan Whitesell, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise and Steven Yeun.If you're after trailers from this year's Super Bowl, make sure check out the new Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel trailers.Disclosure: CBS is GameSpot's parent company.

If you're watching the 2019 Super Bowl, you probably saw plenty of Bud Light commercials over the course of the evening--many of which were about corn syrup. However, during one spot in the second quarter, the Bud Knight met his demise at the hands of The Mountain.It was turning out to be another silly Bud Light ad, where the King and Queen were enjoying a couple of beers and about to watch the Bud Knight triumph during a joust. At least, that's what they thought would happen.Sadly, the Bud Knight was knocked off his horse during this exhibition, and the new champion was none other than Gregor Clegane, also known as The Mountain from HBO's Game of Thrones. Clegane walked up to the fallen knight, and used his thumbs to gouge out his eyes. We're all presuming the Bud Knight is now dead. It didn't end there. A dragon flew overhead and burned everything to the ground. Is "dilly dilly" no more? This was easily one of the oddest commercials during the final NFL game of the season.While this was a sad moment, we were all reminded that Game of Thrones is returning for its final season this April. The first trailer for the new season aired back in January in a cryptic teaser, which didn't contain any actual footage. However, it did hint at the fates of members of the Stark family.Game of Thrones returns to HBO for its final season on April 14 at 9 PM ET / PT. And you can watch the Super Bowl live while the game is still going on.Info from Gamespot.com

Something is going on with Respawn, although it's still not confirmed officially what that is. Leaks have circulated throughout the weekend regarding a new game called Apex Legends; whatever it is, the developer will be sharing details during a stream at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 4 PM GMT.Respawn CEO Vince Zampella sent out a tweet during the Super Bowl that linked to a Twitch account called Play Apex. This account is scheduled to host a livestream on Monday. There is zero context to what the stream will be about, as neither Zampella's tweet or the Twitch account reveal specific details.Zampella's message seems to reference the leaks, saying, "Looks like everything is unlocked now? Fun. So, if you like Respawn, our games or even me, you should tune in tomorrow. Our stream starts at 8 AM PT and we'll tell you everything about Apex Legends. Everything."Respawn is the developer behind Titanfall and Titanfall 2, two popular first-person shooters that see players engage in large-scale battles as either agile Pilots or powerful Titans. Titanfall 2 is one of the most critically-acclaimed shooters in recent years--we gave it a 9/10 in our review and listed it as one of our top games in 2016--and fans of it have been clamoring for more since its release.In Titanfall 2, unlike its predecessor, you can pick which faction you choose to fight for in multiplayer. One of those factions is the Apex Predators. The Apex Predators are also featured heavily in the game's campaign, as the group of merciless guns for hire who serve as Titanfall 2's primary antagonists. Seeing as Respawn is no longer making more post-launch content for Titanfall 2, it's probable that the upcoming live stream is for something brand new. Even so, the Twitch channel's name implies it still might relate back to the 2016 game.We've known for a while that Respawn has been working on another Titanfall title. The developer has actually confirmed its working on three games right now--Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, some Titanfall-related game, and an unnamed VR title. During an EA quarterly earning call, the company's CEO Andrew Wilson announced that at least two Respawn games would release in 2019. One of those has been confirmed to be Jedi Fallen Order, which is scheduled for release sometime before the 2019 holiday season, but we have no official word on what the other title(s) might be.Info from Gamespot.com

Halftime has concluded for the 2019 Super Bowl, where the New England Patriots faced the Los Angeles Rams. And while CBS offered a halftime show featuring Maroon 5 and Atlanta's own Big Boi, WWE delivered something completely different--shirtless people punching each other.The resident wrestling nerds of GameSpot could not have been happier about this, as WWE's Halftime Heat aired on the WWE Network, along with YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. And if you're someone who frequents GameSpot, then you know Mat Elfring and Chris E. Hayner are going to talk about wrestling. Just like any PPV, we're going to review the match.You can watch the match for yourself below. Halftime Heat starts at 3:34:29.Aleister Black, Ricochet & Velveteen Dream vs. Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano & Adam ColeWow… Triple H kicks off the whole thing by saying, "If you are all in as a fan, then NXT is for you." Shots have been fired, and they didn't need to be. Or maybe I'm looking way too much into the "all in" aspect of his line, which was the largest independent wrestling shows of 2018: one I got to attend. The atmosphere is bizarre, considering this is taking place inside the Performance Center and the crowd isn't as big nor as rukus as a normal NXT crowd. Sure, it got better as it went on, but it didn't start off too hot. Velveteen Dream feels so out of place in this match, in the best way possible. His NFL-inspired ring gear is awesome, and he's the only wrestler on his team who is 100% personality. He rounds out the group really well. Then, there's Ricochet, who I could watch flip around the ring all night. The dude is a complete innovator.Around the 10 minute mark, I noticed I've turned into a morose mouth-breather as my jaw has been completely dropped after a series of insane high spots. As this match progressed, we got some amazing spots, and Adam Cole became the whipping post for Team Dream. I wasn't surprised by the outcome of this, by any means. It delivered exactly like I thought it would and was the perfect counter-programming for CBS' halftime show.The only real problem--for me--with Halftime Heat was that the in-ring storytelling aspect of wrestling wasn't really as solid as it could have been. It was primarily tons of high spots to get new folks engaged with the product, which is perfectly fine. This match played as more of a Greatest Hits than a full-fledged wrestling match. I guess the only real question I have for WWE is, "Who is watching Halftime Heat that already isn't super familiar with the WWE and NXT products?" Regardless of my nitpicking, this was a blast, and I hope WWE does this again next year.Side note: Hey, WWE Network. Work on your app on Smart TVs. During a 16 minute match, it crashed on me three different times, including during the finish.-- Mat Elfring (9/10)When WWE announced that NXT was going to have its own Halftime Heat event, it was great news because I don't really care for Maroon 5. That said, it also meant the brand would have to deliver the absolute best it has to make for a compelling Super Bowl alternative. Thankfully, NXT delivered in a massive way and had to make a few new fans tonight, between airing live on the WWE Network and across the company's streaming platforms. Right from the start, it was clear that the small crowd at the performance center was made up of die-hard fans that were ready to be loud, as each NXT Superstar--six of the brand's top names--made their way to the ring.What followed was an exciting six-man tag match loaded with high spots, everyone getting in their signature moves, and an actual story. It was all set up at the end of TakeOver: Phoenix, when the three heroes and three villains had a pull-apart brawl, something that overflowed onto Halftime Heat. I honestly can't say enough about how great this was, even with some shaky production work at the beginning of the broadcast. It's hit some highlights, though.Velveteen Dream's football-inspired attire was amazing, as were the tackles he doled out early in the match.Having a female referee preside over Halftime Heat was so smart. Those who watch NXT already know women are referees for some matches. However, for non-fans, having a female in charge helps to show how much the role of women in WWE has changed over the last few years.Shawn Michaels joining the commentary team for the show was the right move. He's clearly super passionate about NXT as one of the brand's trainers and it showed in how he spoke about the action. Honestly, they should utilize him in that role more.If this didn't make you a believer in Ricochet and his ability to do literally anything, I don't know what will. That said, he defies gravity regularly and I love it.Something this match did was allow each talent to show off their style of fighting. For Aleister Black, this means kicking as hard as he possibly can and itlooks so painful for his victim each time.I know wrestling fans are split on the overuse of the superkick. I love it and loved how it was on display here.I love Tommaso Ciampa and think he's a great NXT Champion, but find me a better heel than Adam Cole, I dare you.-- Chris E. Hayner (10/10) Info from Gamespot.com

During the Super Bowl, a new Captain Marvel trailer debuted (as did an Avengers Endgame trailer). And, as we've seen in the past, it again has people asking whether Captain Marvel the character has always been a woman. As with so many things in comics, that's a complex subject, as detailed below.While we're a couple months away from Marvel's next movie, Captain Marvel, the second trailer has arrived, and yes, she's still punching old women in the face. The character has a very confusing history, which has led to a few people to question who this character is. More specifically, some are not sure why she's a woman. To the average person who isn't well-versed in comic book lore, this can all be a little confusing. Don't worry, we'll get you up to date and explain it all as quickly as possible.First are foremost, comic book continuity is confusing and full of plot holes and errors. Keeping track of what's gone down in stories for the past 80 years or so can be quite the task. However, Captain Marvel at Marvel Comics is a woman and has been for the past six years, and the character behind the mask--Carol Danvers--has been a part of the collective comic book universe for 50 years now. When Danvers took on the role of Captain Marvel, it made the character relevant again, which it hadn't been for 30 years or so.So let's talk Captain Marvel. There are three main characters using this name. The first is DC Comics' Captain Marvel--who goes by the name Shazam now. He's actually a young boy named Billy Batson who becomes a superpowered adult when he yells "Shazam." He's the DC hero in the red suit with a giant yellow lightning bolt on his chest. Zachary Levi will be playing the character on the big screen on April 5, 2019.Then, there's Marvel's first Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell. He was the captain of a Kree militia and a protector of the universe. Mar-Vell died in 1978 after inhaling poisonous gas and getting terminal cancer. He's been resurrected a few times, and still shows up every now and again but he hasn't been a heavy hitter for decades.So that leaves us with Carol Danvers, the current Captain Marvel. Throughout the years, many people of various sexes and races--both alien and human--have fought under this mantle, but Danvers was the person that made this character relevant again. If you grew up in the '90s and watched the X-Men cartoon, you know who this character is. In the realm of X-Men: The Animated Series as well as comic book canon, Rogue got her super-strength and flight by sucking the life out of Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers. However, Danvers eventually recovered, and years later, after the Avengers vs. X-Men storyline, she took on the mantle of Captain Marvel. Her backstory is wildly confusing, as is almost every cosmic character from Marvel's silver age. However, her origin is getting a little bit of a clean up in the new movie.You can learn more about the character by checking out her history video above to see just how insane it is or wait until Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8, 2019.Info from Gamespot.com

Week 9's challenges have now arrived in Fortnite, which means we're nearing the end of the game's seventh season. This week's missions involve popping golden balloons and dancing on a sundial, oversized coffee cup, and metal dog head, among other tasks, which will net you Battle Stars and level your Battle Pass up once completed.As usual, there's an added benefit to completing as many challenges as possible. If you clear all of the ones from a given week, you'll also complete a Snowfall challenge, which will unlock a special loading screen that contains a subtle clue pointing to a free Battle Star or Banner hidden somewhere around the island.If you've finished all nine weeks' worth of challenges thus far, you'll receive the loading screen pictured below. This one features the Prisoner--the Legendary skin you'll earn for completing 60 weekly challenges--emerging from its cell in Polar Peak's dungeon.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's first DLC character, Piranha Plant, arrived earlier this week alongside the big 2.0.0 update. Nintendo offered the new fighter for free to players who purchased and registered their games on My Nintendo by January 31, but if you missed the cutoff date, you now have the option to buy it.Piranha Plant is now available to purchase in the Switch Eshop. Unlike the other planned DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Piranha Plant isn't included in the game's Fighters Pass, so you only have the option to pick it up individually. If you do want to add it to your roster, it costs $5--slightly cheaper than the price of other upcoming fighters, presumably because it doesn't come with a new stage and music tracks.Beyond Piranha Plant, Nintendo is working on five other DLC characters for Smash Bros. Ultimate. The first of these will be Joker from Persona 5. Each new fighter will come in a pack alongside a stage and multiple music tracks for $6. You'll also be able to get all of them at a discount through the $25 Fighters Pass. Picking up the Fighters Pass will also get you a bonus Mii costume based on Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.All of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's DLC characters are slated to arrive by February 2020. Nintendo hasn't officially revealed the identities of the remaining four fighters yet, but during the Game Awards in December, NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime teased they will all be newcomers to the series and are characters "who you wouldn't anticipate."Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launched for Nintendo Switch on December 7 and has set new sales records for the series. Not only was it Amazon's best-selling video game of 2018 (and the US's fifth best-selling game) despite launching near the end of the year, it has already sold 12 million copies around the world, making it Nintendo's third best-selling Switch game to date.Info from Gamespot.com

After multiple delays, Nintendo finally launched its paid online subscription service for Switch last September. While the company doesn't typically disclose usage numbers, it did share some insight on how the service has been faring thus far.In its recent financial results briefing, Nintendo revealed that the Nintendo Switch Online service has more than eight million subscribed accounts. According to the company, this figure doesn't include accounts that only participated in the free trial, but it does factor in every account included under a family membership, which allows up to eight account holders across different Switch consoles to share the benefits of one subscription."Nintendo Switch Online has had a good start," president Shuntaro Furukawa said in the briefing. "In keeping with the goal of providing Nintendo Switch owners with 'More Games. More Features. More Fun,' we are working on continuing to expand the service offerings."Nintendo didn't share any further details on how it will expand NSO, but during the briefing, the company teased that it is working on an unannounced Switch game that is "suitable" for the service (via Siliconera), presumably meaning it will emphasize online play. Rumors have circulated that SNES games could also be coming to the service, although Nintendo hasn't confirmed this.Much like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live, the Nintendo Switch Online service is required to play Nintendo Switch games online. It gives subscribers a few other benefits as well, such as the ability to back up their save data to the cloud and exclusive access to a library of classic NES games. NSO subscribers are also eligible for "special offers," such as an exclusive set of NES-style controllers for Switch.Info from Gamespot.com

Nintendo is partnering with Illumination Entertainment, the company behind Despicable Me and Minions, to produce an animated film based on the Super Mario series. The project was formally announced last January following a report by the Wall Street Journal, and now Nintendo has revealed when it's expected to hit theaters.In Nintendo's financial results briefing, president Shuntaro Furukawa announced that development on the Super Mario movie is "moving along for an anticipated theatrical release around 2022." Nintendo didn't share any other new details about the film, but it has previously been confirmed that Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto will be producing.This, of course, isn't the first feature film to be based on the Mario series. A live-action Super Mario Bros. movie released in 1993 and was a critical and commercial failure. Bob Hoskins, the late actor who portrayed Mario in the film, called it the worst movie he's ever been a part of. Nintendo, likely wary of another flop, has said it may abandon the animated film if it isn't "interesting" enough.The animated Super Mario movie is part of Nintendo's new initiative to leverage its IP beyond video games. Nintendo is also partnering with Universal Studios Japan to build a Super Nintendo Land theme park, which is slated to "open in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics." On top of that, Nintendo has announced it is opening an official Nintendo Tokyo store in Japan this fall.Despite these new initiatives, Furukawa reaffirmed that Nintendo will remain first and foremost a video game company. "Nintendo's core business will continue to be the integrated hardware-software video game platform business," he said in the financial results briefing. The company has a number of big exclusives for Switch lined up for this year, including a new Animal Crossing game and a "core" Pokemon RPG.Nintendo also has multiple smartphone games on the way. The company recently announced a Dr. Mario mobile game, which is due out early summer. However, its Mario Kart mobile game, which was originally scheduled to launch by the end of March, has been delayed.Info from Gamespot.com
