FLUDD is also kind of awkward to use for beginners, which is kind of weird for a character like Mario who was made with beginners in mind. Actually, Mario in general is kinda weird now. He was originally pinned as a jack of all trades, but we have so many characters with weapons and long limbs...

I would imagine the Nitro courses were originally made as Tour originals and repurposed as “new” courses for marketing reasons, which is supported by the lack of notable antigravity segments. I doubt Nintendo tabled MK9 for the booster pass instead of just quietly working on it- not unless there...

To be honest I think the BCP was a way to salvage work done on Mario Kart Tour before it stopped receiving updates. I think we’re still going to get a new mainline MK within the next few years.

I think including a character on the basis that the games they’re from are bad is incredibly disrespectful to the creators of those games. I’m also fascinated with bad games, but I think that’s really just tacky and unflattering.

Pretty much. FE, along with Kirby and some others always have a team dedicated to making new entries, rather than being shuffled around to different projects. Intelligent systems will always be making FE games (alongside their other work on WarioWare and Paper Mario) whereas Metroid and Donkey...

Not a Kingdom Hearts fan by any stretch but I’m happy for Sora fans. He looks surprisingly fun to play. Great reveal to end on. Personally, I’m relieved that the speculation can come to an end.

On the topic of Dread, I do think it makes sense to give Metroid one last big push in a Nintendo Direct before it comes out. But I’m usually wrong and dumb, so IDK.

I'm at peace with DLC ending. While there will always be characters I'd love to see added, the closure is nice too. I plan to do another run through of World of Light on hard mode when the last character drops.

The problem is you lump "anime styled game fans" together. If somebody wanted a Tales of series character but they don't like Xenoblade, Dragon Quest or Persona, why would they be satisfied with any of those characters?

The dumb scrimblo memes are a response to the constant complaints about anime sword fighters that have been going on for about a decade. If people are going to get pissy the moment the shoe is on the other foot, that's on them. But nobody is even hating on platformer characters. It's a...

Who is telling platformer fans to be satisfied with what they have?

Why should someone who wanted Lyn be satisfied with other characters they didn’t want? Why should someone’s personal wishlist conform to arbitrary quotas based on series or, better yet, broad, poorly-defined genres?

Keep in mind this is the same fan base who saw the Ugly-Steve meme and thought they were under attack from Minecraft fans. Never underestimate something as powerful as a persecution complex.

I remember when Mega Man “died” and people blamed Capcom for killing the franchise, meanwhile it has been in decline because people were getting burned out of annualized releases and spin-offs. Turns out, it needed a hiatus. The indie scene definitely does have some great platformers, probably...

Honestly, it’s probably in part because platformers died at a point. Crash and Spyro only had a recent revival, Rayman came back only to die again, Banjo is... well you know. There’s really not a lot going on for platformers at the moment, which is a shame.
