Again, it'll never happen (I can't stress this enough), but I wish Konami would bring back the Orange and Red Stripes (AKA the Bacon Strips) and the classic Konami jingle and mix it in with their current logo. It could look something like this:

I think the next Konami rep I'd like to see in Smash might have to be Bill Rizer from Contra, maybe with Lance Bean as an Echo Fighter, their own stage, and music from the Contra series, including a remix of the Jungle Stage (Stage 1) theme. Their victory theme would obviously be a remix of this:
You know who I think would make a good PlayStation rep for Smash? Either Jak & Daxter or Ratchet & Clank. As for an Xbox rep, I'm still kinda hoping for Master Chief.
You know what seemed to be a pretty big thing in 5th-gen and 6th-gen games (with a couple notable exceptions, like Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3)? Cheesy (and often bad) dialogue. Probably either because of bad localization/translation or the dialogue was just generally pretty bad. Or both.
If Nintendo ever decides to break their "video game characters only" rule, besides Pokemon (which they probably never will), for the next Smash game (if they make it), which non-video game character would you want to see in Smash? And please don't say Goku, Shrek, Spongebob, etc.
I think we've figured out that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (like some other things (cough Disney cough)) are meant to be animated, not live-action.
Happy 4/20
Here's an idea for a Mario game: Mushroom Kingdom Warriors, a Musou-style Mario game
I’ll have to watch this later.
You know who probably would have made some good light gun representation for Smash? Dr. Don & Dr. Dan from Point Blank. If not at least Spirits, they could have been playable characters with their own stage, and music from the Point Blank series. Maybe even music from Time Crisis.
Here's another minigame idea: A stealth and exploration minigame where you play as a cat burglar and you try to sneak in through a secured museum at night and steal a rare and expensive jewel. You can use your suppressed light gun to destroy lights and surveillance cameras and tranquilize guards. Just try not to shoot any of the artifacts.
It'll make more sense on Twitter...Konami releases a new It's another

I wish Nintendo (and SEGA) would release NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy (including Game Boy Color), Game Boy Advance and SEGA Genesis games on NSO more often. At least once a week or so. There are tons of great games to choose from that people might like to play for the Switch.
I think the art-styles for both of these games would take inspiration from both 80s/90s western animation and 80s/90s anime.
We need rail shooters and light gun shooters to make a comeback.
Here's a minigame idea: A Snatcher/Terminator 2/Silent Scope-style minigame where you play as a private detective and you’re searching among a crowd of people for humanoid androids posing as human beings. If you spot a humanoid android, you can shoot it with your light gun. You’ll get penalized if you shoot any actual civilians.
Someday, I'd like to make my own light gun minigame compilation game inspired by Point Blank and Duck Hunt, and maybe a minigame compilation game inspired by WarioWare, Bishi Bashi, and Puzzle & Action.
Is it just me, or do some of the characters in Animal Crossing seem... passive-aggressive?
You know who probably would have been a good character for Smash? Arthur (Ghosts 'n Goblins). He probably could have gotten his own stage with music from the series (maybe even spin-offs including Gargoyle's Quest and Maximo), including a remix of Haunted Graveyard (Stage 1).
It'll never happen, but what if Nintendo and Konami collaborated with each other and made a crossover between WarioWare and Bishi Bashi?
What are some obscure and/or cult classic games and/or game franchises that you think should make a comeback? I'll start with a few:
The Mysterious Murasame Castle
Shin Onigashima
L.O.L.: Lack of Love
Doshin the Giant
Chulip
Seaman
Power Stone
Gitaroo Man
Shadow of Rome
You know what seems to be a common theme (or a genre in and of itself) in stories with a modern-day setting? A group of terrorists are holding a bunch of hostages, including the President’s daughter or son, or something like that.
Which is the better minigame compilation game series? Bishi Bashi or WarioWare?
In case you're wondering, Bishi Bashi is made by Konami, and it's basically WarioWare before WarioWare was even a thing, except it pretty much ups the ante on the Japanese quirkiness and insanity. Although, by comparison, WarioWare is more... gross.
We need SEGA to remake and reimagine the Dynamite Deka series as loose adaptations of the Die Hard trilogy in cooperation with 20th Century Games (20th Century Studios), and they should all be co-developed by SEGA AM1 and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. They should get Howard Drossin to do the music and sound effects, and they should get Bruce Willis to reprise his role as John McClane.
Oh, and they should also remake and reimagine Zombie Revenge, the 3D beat 'em up spin off of The House of the Dead, and it should also be co-developed by SEGA AM1 and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.
Happy Easter Sunday
It'll never happen, but I'm hoping Konami and Kojima will reconcile with each other and port all of the canon Metal Gear games (including VR Missions, Portable Ops, and Metal Gear Rising), and include Snatcher and Policenauts. Imagine if Policenauts got an official English dub, and Snatcher got a NEW English dub, and both dubs would be directed by Kris Zimmerman-Salter. Of course, they could also give us the option to choose between the SEGA CD dub (with fixed audio quality) and the new dub.
I say that it'll never happen, not just because of Konami, Kojima, and Metal Gear specifically, but also because Snatcher and Policenauts are both products of their times. Both games feature mature themes in storytelling that were unheard of in games back then, and some of the themes and humor in both games would probably be considered problematic today.
The Soulsborne games, especially Dark Souls, have always been known for their difficulty. I think they've also been known for being quite unfair. But, then again, I guess games have always been a little unfair.
Rail Shooters/Light Gun Shooters when you enter a boss battle:
Weak Point: Unknown
Player(s): What do you mean you don't know?!
You know, I find it funny how people didn't want anymore "anime swordfighters" in Smash, and yet, they wanted Dante (and possibly Sora) in Smash. Does this make Smash fans hypocrites?
If I were to become a writer, especially for video games, I think I’d like to (eventually) try my hand at writing intricate storylines, but I don’t wanna turn them all into a bunch of ungodly, overly-convoluted messes.
cough Kojima cough
Anyway, I should probably stick to writing more straightforward stories. For now.
I know a lot of people are tired of remasters and remakes, but in their defense, they're a great way of making games that aren't very accessible ACTUALLY accessible, especially for more than one console (unless the game is an exclusive).
I can’t think of a good prank this April Fools. Oh well… there’s always next year.
Anyway, Happy April Fools
It's-a me…
…A-Mario
…that's not the voice
It'll probably never happen, but we need Konami to remaster Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, so that players old and new can experience the (chronologically) true origins of the Belmont bloodline. They should also remaster Contra: Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra.
Apparently, all of the profile pictures on SmashBoards (Oh, wait, I'm sorry, PrattBoards) are now mugshots of Chris Pratt. This should be a fun April Fools.
I love how, in Tekken 8, they had Kazuya's VA, Masanori Shinohara, record new voice lines and grunts, but also kept his voice clips from Tekken 4-onward.
You know what seems to be an age-old tradition in arcade games, especially SEGA arcade games? Cheesy (and often bad) voice acting.
Again, I know this is unlikely to happen, but if SEGA were to remake Project Altered Beast, the announcement/teaser trailer should be a cinematic recreation of this:
Forgive my naivety, but... why do you think people are so mean to each other, especially on the Internet? -
