guys you have to believe me my uncle works at atlus (true!)

i think a big the cat paramount plus series would be fun and by far the most profitable thing in paramount plus history

why are the boss battles in the mario tennis aces story mode basically undertale bosses and why does it work so well

and tonight on "sentences that shouldnt exist"

screw it ive already posted one idea thingy but why not go for another one ive had for ages

mmm yes a true intellectual

I came across a cool tidbit today: apparently, if you have dual citizenship in Japan with any other country, say the US for example, you have to decide between "one or the other" due to Japanese law not permitting legal dual citizenship - so it's basically "renounce your Japanese citizenship or renounce your other citizenship, your call." However, this only takes place at the age of 20 - and they give you two years to think about it afterwards. I find it really weird but interesting - I guess it's one of those really obscure and almost completely pointless facts that you'll never ever need to remember unless in extremely fringe cases ahah

You ever have that thing where you keep coming up with ideas you think are cool, but you know that you don't have the skills, time, or tools to make it happen? Well, I felt like sharing this because why not!

Random game concept idea:



The Electrifying Adventures Of Batteryboy is an idea I've had floating around for some time, and whilst I have quite a few concepts as to how it would work, here's my main one.

Batteryboy himself, real name "Watt", is a young and curious sentient battery in a world where essentially everything is sentient (and there's no humans.) In terms of mechanics, Watt is very much unlike many of the other batteries in that he's rechargable - meaning he can use his latent electrical powers as much as he likes, so long as he's able to recharge!

My idea for this is that the game would be a 3d platformer with a low-poly aesthetic, in which all of the levels are various locations in the real world that you'd be able to explore - except for the fact that you're really small, giving you a whole new perspective. Batteryboy has a number of different abilities related to electricity, such as zapping opponents, as well as plenty of tools he can use to traverse the world, such as copper wires and such. Of course, Batteryboy doesn't have arms - so getting around isn't as simple as just climbing, you'll need to get creative!

A big mechanic is that he's able to create electrical circuits to solve problems and have many different effects on the world, as well as powering things that take batteries such as R/C cars and the like - but there's a catch. Batteryboy, similar to Chibi-Robo, has a constant drain on electrical power based on what he's doing. Whatever it is you may need to do, you'll need to make sure you don't run out of battery! Of course, recharging is pretty quick, but it provides a degree of resource management to handle correctly. (You can see how much battery life Batteryboy has by looking at his back - similarly to modern Duracells, he has a little meter that indicates his amount of power at any given time.)

Not only this, but there's plenty of villains to fend off! A cool concept I actually had was that the "bosses" in the game are representative in some way of alternative power sources - such as tidal, geothermal, and wind power. For instance, fending off against a "giant" pigeon in the upper levels of a bedroom sounds like a lot of fun, as does something like exploring a boat - given electricity and water don't mix! In terms of characters, there's a lot of potential - I'm thinking he'd have friends such as a glass lightbulb named Lumen, and perhaps even a sidekick in the form of Volt Girl...

So, yeah! I'm probably never going to make anything with this and it's a bit of a random splurge of ideas, but I think it'd be really cool to see. Sorry for filling up your page!

No thank you for the not follow.

Thanks for the follow, giant Eddie Murphy head on wheels

Why is the music from Sports Island 2 for the Wii actually filled with bangers

hello i am king dedede from the n64 title kirby 64 the crystal shards please help im trapped inside this smashboards profile post i think spooky luigi put me here

Fun Gaming Fact: You know how people argue that "Ugh, all video games are so political nowadays.." Well...

One of the first video games stated to have a political message was Atari's Missile Command, released in 1980. Dave Theurer, the lead developer of the original game, stated that the main message was in relation to the (at the time) ongoing tensions of the Cold War, specifically in the form of its gameplay.

Missile Command's gameplay essentially has you control an anti-aircraft system intended to prevent missiles from an unnamed enemy hitting your six cities. However, the nature of the game (being an arcade title) is that the only lose condition is the situation where all of your cities are destroyed by the enemy missiles. There isn't a win condition - you keep playing until the lose condition is met.

Theurer has stated that this was a sort of exploration of the concept of mutually assured destruction - essentially, the only way to win is not to play - and with an inherent anti-war message due to this concept. There's a few ways the messaging gets to you (for instance, he originally planned to have the six cities in the game be various cities in California, but decided to have them be non-descript - giving the player a deeper personal connection to them.)

Missile Command is, I suppose, a political game... so, I guess video games have been "political" for quite some time, then?

"No longer confined by the nature of its existence as a two-dimensional being, as even a fictional construct, it had escaped from its prison of aged wood and scratched glass. Taking on the form of something so familiar and yet so inexplicably alien, so horrifyingly distant from anything we could even percieve as real, the sound of synthesized, almost ear-splitting steps - if you could call them that - enroached ever closer to my position with almost mechanical accuracy. With my back against the wall, I knew for certain that if it so much as touched me, my existence on this plane would be forever changed... and I would become like it."

I still think that an N64 Classic Edition similar to the NES and SNES releases would be incredibly cool even if it's probably never going to be made what with the whole Online stuff existing now. That's it. That's the profile post.

Okay, I feel like the main problem is how many notable games from the console are third-party releases that might take a bit of effort to include. The Rare titles spring to mind, as well as Bomberman 64 or Hero and something like Star Wars Episode I: Racer which would never happen but people would love to see. I do think Sin and Punishment would be a cool inclusion, though. An official English translation does exist from the Wii era what with the Virtual Console release so I guess that's plausible... except that it's also a Treasure title so there's that to deal with I guess.

This isn't even getting into stuff like the controller being more expensive due to increased complexity (and the four-player nature of the system probably meaning, in practice, that you'll have to buy more - and you'll probably only get one controller in the box) and stuff like having to have a slightly more powerful system to run the more intensive stuff. It'd be expensive, and if the previous systems are anything to go by, scalped to high heaven and barely purchasable anywhere.

I'd love to see it, but I don't think it's ever going to happen. I'm not mad. Just... disappointed.

A thought experiment.

I am the only person on my street selling lemonade. Another person down the street begins to sell lemonade. I sue them, because only I can sell lemonade. I'm in the right. However, I begin to use less lemon and more water and people begin to dislike my lemonade because it tastes really watered down and kind of weird and I keep adding weird additions like glitter to the lemonade but I expect people to keep buying my lemonade because I'm the only one selling it. After all, I want to innovate!

Another person starts to sell my old recipe for lemonade. People like it, but it's a threat to my business model, so I sue them. They stop selling lemonade and I keep selling my watered-down, glitter-filled lemonade that people don't like. Only I am allowed to sell lemonade. They're in the wrong for stealing away my profits. If they don't like my lemonade, they shouldn't buy it.

I find out that someone is giving away lemonade for free inside their house. I sue them, because only I am allowed to sell lemonade. I refuse to give people my old recipe despite them asking, because I believe in innovation and moving forward as I continue to water down my lemonade more and more and add more and more glitter to it. How dare they have the cheek to steal my profit? How am I going to pay the rent?

People on the street like lemonade but they don't like my lemonade? That's their problem. They shouldn't have any lemonade if they're not willing to buy it from me. Only I'm allowed to sell lemonade. They're in the wrong if they like my old recipe, because it's outdated and I believe in innovation. If they don't like my watered-down, glitter-filled lemonade, they're not my target audience. If they sell lemonade, I'm going to sue them, because they're stealing business from me. They're in the wrong. If they want a different drink, like maybe orange juice, they can go elsewhere, because I sell only lemonade, and I am the only one allowed to sell lemonade, and if ANYONE ELSE TRIES TO SELL LEMONADE, I'M GOING TO SUE THEM.

On a completely unrelated note, Nintendo is such a cool company

I think that if there was ever to be a Disney platfighter of some form and it were to introduce buddies similarly to what we've seen in All-Star Strife, I'd love to see V.I.N.CENT from the 1979 movie The Black Hole as one. He's a little floating robot. With cute lil square eyes.



Look at him and rejoice in his roundness. I mean he's technically alive by the end of The Black Hole so it's not like he wouldn't work. And hey, who wouldn't want to represent an objectively weird and somewhat obscure live-action Disney sci-fi movie in a fairly minute role in their big crossover title that the fans will love?

my tron obsession is showing isnt it

I remember seeing this thing on the news where some thief broke into a bank and snuck inside the vault, but then got locked in the vault and set off an alarm that got them stuck there for like two days to the point where police had to drill a hole in the back wall to get them out - and bear in mind this was years ago and for some reason I remembered it like just now for some reason and I have no idea

how's your evening?

Here's a random question I'd like to ask, given this is a Smash site and it's been a hot minute since I've posted anything Smash-related: if the Masterpieces mode were to return for Ultimate, what games would you want to see included?

Two stipulations: there still has to be a time limit, and you can only include NES or SNES games in keeping with Nintendo's very convenient NSO service that just so happens to also be in place and totally isn't just there for cross-promotion. However, any NES/SNES titles are on the table - and would just so happen to also be added to NSO.

thats it ive had enough of the hot weather I'M BLOCKING OUT THE SUN AND NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

Here's the playlist I promised for you earlier(from YouTuber Throwdown):

Here's a random point: you can actually trap a driverless car in a circle of salt, and yes, it'd actually work in spite of the satanic associations that Tesla and other car companies probably want to deny. It's primarily due to computer logic.

If you were to surround a driverless car on all sides with "road markings" that indicate that the car isn't allowed to pass, the AI itself will recognise that this is the case and won't pass it. It's a basic need of a driverless car to do just this - but if it's surrounded on all sides, it's generally the case that the car will be unable to move because from the perspective of the AI, it's not allowed to. Now, the thing is, an AI can't distinguish exceedingly well between "Oh, this is road paint" and "Oh, this is a large quantity of salt" - and salt, also being white (if placed in the same patterning as the road markings) would ping the AI to think "Oh, I can't cross here, it's a road marking." So yeah, driverless cars are possessed by demons able to be stopped by a circle of salt.

Looking into random Sunsoft things and then suddenly

Finally, the most huggable being known to mankind.
I adore them unconditionally. This being has literally made my life whole.

Does anyone else sometimes just boot up their Internet connection and trawl through daisychains of progressively more and more obscure Neocities sites purely out of a combination of curiosity and intrigue? It's something I've started doing more recently - that is, taking more of an interest in the old and obscure web. It all just seems so cool...

I came across this whilst looking up some random stuff to do with Midway and I have to say, this is an utterly fascinating concept. It's inspired by the classic arcade title Robotron 2084, but with a twist - all of the enemies are in the form of Conway's Game of Life, a "game" with zero players that's notable in several circles due to its interesting results with pre-determined mathematical rules. I can't imagine it'd be particularly thrilling to play for particularly long periods of time - but it does look incredibly interesting and I think it's a very cool concept.

Here's a link to the Reddit thread where I found this - I feel it's only right that I give credit where it's due. There's a download link on the original post but I'd recommend not downloading it because I've not checked it personally (no ill will intended, more so just to keep y'all safe.) Nonetheless I think this is a really cool concept that I kind of wish I'd been the one to come up with!

Random free game idea that I just had whilst trawling through the depths of the InterWebs, a game with a similar style to the attached video (vector graphics and all) but where the game's visuals are an extension of the music which you'd control somehow. I'm not sure exactly what sort of game it would be (probably a combination of an arcade-esque title with elements of rhythm games?) I guess the first thing people would compare it to would be Vib-Ribbon but I think it'd be cool to see. Hell, maybe even have the program act as a spectrometer too so that you can use it as a tool as well as a game!

You know I was actually just trying to work out what sorts of characters could make it into a sequel to Dreammix (like I mentioned earlier) and something quite funny occurred to me - in terms of "Series Icons", there's actually a surprising amount of M's in place. No, really!



Shown here are the most fitting icons for Action Man, Monopoly, and Magic the Gathering. Oh, and all of these are apparently Hasbro? I think the one that surprised me most was Magic, though admittedly I've never known much about it aside from that it was a card game. (According to Wikipedia, they apparently also own Dungeons and Dragons, so I guess Hasbro really are the holders of the Neckbeard Triforce: Magic, D&D and MLP)

Y'all if they ever make a creepypasta fighting game you know damn well that it would only be able to run on a quantum computer (they need to ensure that it's hyper-realistic because the blood effects also need physics and that sort of thing doesn't come cheap y'know)

I feel like a sequel to DreamMix TV World Fighters (otherwise known as "the really weird PS2 fighting game with Optimus Prime, Bomberman, the kid from Beyblade and a moyai") would be such a ridiculously cool thing to see in the modern climate, especially with how platform fighters are nowadays. On one condition - keep the Japanese TV show-esque weirdness. (And maybe introduce Hasbro as well as Takara and Konami/Hudson into the mix?) It seems like a recipe for success to me, having the branding being focused on a battle between Optimus Prime and a Metal Gear REX would be clever in my eyes

I had the good fortune to be playing Joust with a friend of mine earlier, and something that came up in discussion was how cool it would be to see Midway stuff in Multiversus (aside from Mortal Kombat which almost feels too obvious.) Ostrich Knight would be a really fun character in truth, and we proposed a few ideas for how they'd play - primarily a rushdown-focused character with limited but above average aerial options, traded off by a relatively low damage output.

In terms of likelihood we ended up coming to the conclusion that they'd be very unlikely, but something really cool did come up in conversation - a stage actually may be more reasonable and would probably do a better job of representing Midway Arcade as a whole, as well as helping to introduce the lineup to younger audiences which mayyyy just have the chance to kick off a Midway Museum series. (okay we got out of hand but the stage would be so cool.)

You know, one point we did make is that a potential, if very unlikely pick for the game, could be a character from the Tron series - the original 1982 tie-in game, as well as its semi-sequel Discs of Tron were actually developed by Midway despite the IP being Disney-owned. Then again, if any Disney properties are getting into MultiVersus of all things, I'm pretty sure it's not Tron (as much as it would be awesome if it was.)

Sorry for the random splurge of thought processes and the like, I just gathered this might be of interest to y'all

I'm aware it could probably never happen on the basis of the fact that most of the properties present are creator-owned, but I'd love to see an Image Comics fighting game - the sheer amount of awesome things to work with (be it Spawn, Savage Dragon, The Walking Dead, Invincible, Scud the Disposable Assassin... plus, I think the game would lead particularly well to guest fighters from other non-Marvel/DC comics - be it from series like The Umbrella Academy, 300, Hellboy, Grendel, Concrete and Usagi Yojimbo among others, which I think would feel like solid fits.

And hey who wouldn't want to have Omni-Man beat Garfield into paste

Random fun fact: this scene in Interstellar was shot in 500 acres of cornfields. On its own, that's probably uninteresting, but what you might be intrigued to know is that Christopher Nolan (the director) actually had the corn grown specifically for the film itself, which he supposedly learned was feasible from his filming for Man of Steel. After the film, the corn was sold off and actually ended up making a profit!

imagine if the next character in multiversus was just eustace bagge and he's officially the final character because the game was purely an experiment and then one of the developers smashes the server with a mallet

Random consideration: if Hugh Neutron can get into NASB then it stands to reason that instead of Timmy we might see Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome and I think that would bring humanity into a collective state of nirvana
