I came here to say no but it looks like we've already got that covered.
It's called Animalese and, yes, it is actually phonetic. Works better with Japanese sounds, but even in English it is kind of there, but sounds much more like just gibberish.I could have sworn that all the gibberish in the original game was actually super sped up speech. Not human read speech, but still more than total nonsense.
Abso-fucking-lutely. Like someone in the thread said, make it optional, but it would be amazing for my young children who can't read yet.
We read books to them all the time, and we've been reading Mario Odyssey to them, too (another game that should have VA).Read it to them. Parents reading to their kids has a myriad of positive benefits anyway.
Yea, it would make the voices really jarring with the pauses to insert the generated content
Every 60 dollar top publisher game in this day and age needs voice acting at the bare minimum. Sadly Nintendo doesn't view it that way.
