People complaining about Pokémon having kid protagonists is kinda missing the point, but honestly an age selection feature or spin off about being a gym leader would be kinda cool (though the "aging with the audience" BS should stay dead in the 2000s for the most part)
Sonic Origins not including Chaotix or the GG games because they're "not the original story" is kinda why I find distinguishing "main games" from "side games" silly for series that don't focus on story. That and that it can often lead to characters getting the short end of the stick because they're assigned as a "spin off character".
I misread this
I feel part of the reason kid-styled horror characters like Huggy Wuggy and Cartoon Cat gain so much traction with actual kids is because you don't really get many played-straight kids' mascots in the veins of Chuck E. Cheese or Mr. Potato Head anymore in Western media, and those that remain have undergone (figuratively and literally) radical redesigns since their debut, so the horror characters are really the closest you can get to that sickly-sweet-but-distinctly-American aesthetic and personality in a modern character.
Can't really explain how Siren Head got popular with kids though. That one's baffling.
DO NOT SAY "FIVE GUYS BURGERS AND FRIES"
AFTER SUBTRACTING ONE
Speaking as someone who loves him some scrimbley bimbleys, it really annoys me how Smash fans dismiss any Activision or especially Ubisoft character who isn't Crash or Rayman respectively as "needing to come after" at best.
HOW DID THE SONIC FRONTIERS FILES END UP IN SONIC ORIGINS
LITERALLY HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN - I CANNOT THINK OF A SINGLE REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN EXCEPT AN INTENTIONAL TEASE AND/OR MALICE
i have no clue what this is, why its in my recommended all the time, or why it had a warioware touched reference, but i really like it
Honestly I kinda wish NASB had a more unified musical style instead of trying to replicate the shows style for most stages - more specifically the sort of slightly-techno 16-bit-adjacent synth rock style the generic and Turtles music has. I really like the cohesion every character sharing a victory theme gives the wild and juxtaposition-heavy roster, and I feel a shared music style would've given NASB a bit of a "classic licensed game" flare where it feels almost like a gamified version of the show(s) instead of a game based on them.
fake lost media that's supposed to be scary feels more comforting than anything - like, I don't know how this video could make you feel any emotion other than "snug and safe".

If Smash never added third parties and stuck as a celebration of Nintendo, I feel Hanafuda and American advertisements would need to be represented in some form at some point

They should put the Three Stooges in Fall Guys and announce them with a tweet that says "A Rise Guy, eh?"
I've been playing Fall Guys, and honestly I think it does the whole "no skill gap" thing way better than Nintendo's first party releases do - there's literally no mechanics, let alone deep ones, it's equivalent to a literal children's party game and I love it.
Once I saw someone say they were "disturbed to their core" by someone not wanting Ganondorf's moveset changed.

I saw this image of the "Sonic Hedgehog" gene as a kid and took it super literally as to mean there's a big arrow-themed Windows XP screensaver waterslide inside every human body

My stance on non-game characters in Smash is that I don't mind them, but they need to be Shrek and Goku - no more, no less, no one else. If you have one, you need the other.
Honestly I can't really wrap my head around why Tetromino isn't playable in Smash yet. They've had Tetris content since Brawl and it's a "character" who would please both old-school "celebration of Nintendo" fans and newer "celebration of gaming" fans. Feels weird that they don't want to go a step further with Tetris content, especially with Sakurai's weird obsession with game sales.
I feel Hasbro has a better library of characters for a fighting game than Mattel. The He-Man and Barbie universes could both lend themselves to really fun movesets, but the rest of Mattel's IP library, for the most part, either revolves around vehicles (Hot Wheels, Thomas) or I imagine would have a lot of moveset overlap with Barbie characters (Polly Pocket, Monster High)
Namco-era Smash has simultaniously set the bar comically high and comically low for platform fighters, especially ones based on existing IPs - on one hand, a game not having 5 licensed songs per stage or a story mode with fully voiced pre-rendered cutscenes is considered a dealbreaker, but on the other hand "we will pay attention to the community when making balance patches" or "we have functioning netcode" can be a selling point.

I'm fine with people obsessing over the Once-Ler, and I'm fine with people making the Once-Ler smooch himself from the past, but it annoys me that his fandom never once considered to just make their own hipster young adult human versions of the other Dr. Suess characters like Illumination did before jumping straight to the time travel self-cest.
The Sonic Origins versions of the S&K Collection music are godawful.

Honestly I feel a new Punch Time Explosion would be kinda lame given 1. how little CN like to acknowledge their retro properties (and how poorly they do it when they do to a lesser extent), and 2. CN having a higher amount of superhero/action shows than Nick, which IMO leads to more boring movesets than SOL or slapstick characters. I feel Hanna Barbera or devoted Looney Tunes would be a better "devoted Multiversus" pick than CN or Adult Swim
One thing I wanted to do at one point was go through the entire SNES game library and make bootleg cartridge art for each. The only things stopping me were not knowing a good way to distribute the pics once done and worries about file space.

Honestly I think the problem with recent rise of horror games for kids (Poppy Playtime, Hello Neighbour, Bendy, modern FNaF) isn't that they go too far but rather that they aren't going far enough. They kinda feel like they're neutering themselves for the kid audience when they really don't need to, and don't really take the opportunity to use said horror to preach decent lessons - the "haunted toy factory/restaurant/animation studio" setup would be brilliant for getting across messages about capitalism and how corporations suck artists and their creations for all they're worth for example. -
