This game has been on my radar since its initial announcement, but I've been on the fence because I was worried it was just a Mario game without Mario.

But after watching the direct a little bit ago, I'm convinced this game is going to be a pinch of Mario, a pinch of Zelda, and just a whole bucket of fun.

REALLY excited to pick this up day of release.

The VO was supposed to be cringy and over the top. IMO for adults it's just silly and for kids it's that funny intensity. Either way, I'd bet Nintendo did that on purpose.

As far as piracy goes, like... why? Either borrow it from a friend, your library (many rent video games), buy a used copy on discount, or just save up and buy it if you want to play it that bad.
