One other problem with the new realistic character designs is that, if Illumination makes a Star Fox movie, they won't use an art style that matches the Switch 2 Star Fox, because it's not marketable compared to the Mario Galaxy Movie designs for Fox and his team. The realistic art style could hurt the new game for that same reason. -_-

Mario doesn't look the same between the movies and the games, nor will Link once the live action film comes out. Franchises like Zelda have already gone through a ton of different art styles over time. People can adjust.

Not as easily as you think they can.

The sales would suggest otherwise; the Zelda series has continued to sell through many visual changes, while the Mario movie's take on the character killed interest in his game incarnation. Xenoblade saw its highest selling entry when it underwent a major change in art style with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Various games with experimental art styles such as Yoshi's Island, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Paper Mario were accepted.

For those who want the physical version, apparently Amazon and Walmart are selling it for the same $50 as the digital version:

I think it's okay for an IP to have different expressions, Star Fox in Mario probably is not what Starfox is  in a standalone movie, which would be slightly different from Starfox in his own game as well. I mean The Mario movie in itself bastardises the Mario IP to some extent lol. 

I dont  see it impacting the success of the game though although I get why you don't love it. Fundementally it looks great still. I think a 10 year old would still be hugely excited by these graphics and characterisations. Nostalgic/mature fans too.

You do this childish thing of threatning to murder or some act against violence against people in this forum.Maybe stop.  Saying go outside is not an insult..  You put out a bad take and like many times before when you hate something don't look at facts, just try and spin something endlessly in place,peeling out but going nowhere. You don't like the new look which is fine. Then the hyperbolic they are doomed and the game is doomed is always your resolve when you dislike something. Everything is doomed. So saying go outside is not an insult but to just ask to just relax a little and get a breather. It's ok.

All I got from that is "I'm on the internet so I should be allowed to needlessly insult some random guy who's constantly been shit on for years on end, hur hur hur!!". The sniping remark was part of my persona, and you dragged it into petty insults.

How would you like it if I called you a miserable prick who only gets even a little happiness by shitting on someone else? Knowing you you'd go deeper by shitting on my mother as well.

Star Fox where everybody practically looks like the MCU version of Rocket Raccoon.

That's offensive
