Why should I care about the theme park? I'm a fan, not a shareholder. It's cool that the brand is "healthy" but it doesn't matter but if it doesn't result in new games. DK games always sell and review very well. They have a loud and dedicated fandom. There's no reason why the only significant...

There is a particular style for sure, one that I don't even really mind to be honest. However the other characters are mostly on-model, they're just stubby and slightly chubbier. DK has a completely different face structure, and even his body shape isn't his regular one but stubby. He just looks...

Ah, yes, Mario's fresh and different redesign:

Not nearly to a fraction of the same extent. This DK might as well be a different character.

Why is DK the only character who can't just keep using his iconic 30 years old design? It's just weird. It's like they have a bone to pick with him.

Yes. It was fine in the movie, but it's a design that screams side character. That dumb gorilla that's friends with Mario.

The others all look the same, it's just DK they changed.

What problem do they have with Donkey Kong, for real? Never seen a company be so spiteful to one of its own characters.

🤮🤮🤮

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't really talking about you. Just the general mood that seems to be here. I thought people would have been HYPED when it was suggested Smash might have been in the works for quite a while already. Sakurai directing two projects at once seems impossible to me. Or at least, I...

Exactly! You're going to skip something either way. Framing it in terms of "the latest Nintendo generation" sounds pretty arbitrary to me. Especially now that DLC exists, unlike in the Brawl days.

I'd say just the DQ11 Hero. Joker wasn't really representing the latest Nintendo generation at the time, and so weren't Banjo, Terry, Sephiroth and Sora. I guess Minecraft was big on the Wii U, and there was that one Tekken game... Probably not why Kazuya got in, though. But, I think that...

I'm really going to waste 60 bucks of my hard-earned pay on the second copy of a game I 100%'d some ten years ago unless someone stops me. I don't even know where my Wii is though, so maybe it's not that bad? Probably??

Development started in April 2022, but Sakurai wrote the project proposal in 2021, between Kazuya's and Sora's releases iirc

I mean. Mario Wonder is definitely old enough to get a stage, and what else can you do with it? TotK can get a stage and even a character. It's been announced while Ultimate was still getting DLC, the Zelda team keeps Sakurai up to date between different projects (they even designed Sheik for...
