Wario Wario Wario

I have 3 aesthetics of choice:
Dribble & Spitz' stage in the first WarioWare

Tomorrowland '94

Cartoon Network before they started making their own cartoons

The mood whiplash here is comical. This is some Shadow the Hedgehog stuff.

Rhett: "I don't think this is a very smart thumbnail idea, Matt"
MatPat: "More clicks means more donations, buddy! Positivity gets people clicking!" lights cigar and adjusts monocole
Link: "No, we can't do that, people will think our cause isn't serio-"
Odd1sout: "Hush! you know this is a publicity stunt, right?"
Devil Odd1sout: "Hey, smile for the camera!"
Rhett: "Well, I guess charity work is more important than integrity..." shrugs

This, my friends, is why I'm glad Nick got a proper platfighter instead of CN.

I've always found the logic of boycott culture, especially its more radical side, ridiculous - if a company exploits their employees, and enough people boycott to make a dent in their profits, that'll mean those employess will be paid less at best and will be out of a job at worst. All the company is gonna see is that the franchises you avoided buying aren't profitable anymore, and the companies that often get this response like EA and Activision are really infamous for killing series at their peak while refusing to sell them - humans being treated like humans is obviously more important than Spyro 4, but boycotts won't help either. True activism, making sure the head honchos understand the errors of their ways by being vocal in places where they will hear, will help everyone.

I generally do not like duplicate characters in games where characters are cosmetic... but I can make an exception for this lovely bunch

I will never understand why people like unlockable content in fighting games and shooters. Other genres like kart racers where characters are cosmetic I can understand, but in the internet age of spoilers; DLC; and viral marketing there's no room for unlockable characters and stages in games where each character plays different.

HEY, YOU'RE PRETTY MATURE THAN I THOUGHT - GOOD GOING

Considering all the PaRappa songs were written in English by Japanese people, it's impressive that there's only one instance of bad grammar.

"The guy you didn't count on"

A small part of me hopes Daisy really is missing from Party Superstars so Nintendo will see the passion people have for her and start giving her bigger roles - Waluigi was absent from Kart 7 and because of backlash hasn't missed a Mario game where he could logically appear since, (and has become a lot more prominent in marketing) even if he has stayed as another multiplayer option.

If Crash got in Smash, I hope the Twinsanity tracks either aren't remixed or have remixed and original forms coexist - I really want to know how people who either don't play Crash or aren't familiar with the games between CTR and the renakes would react to this song:

It'd be funny if Nick Brawl called guest fighters "Syndicated Fighters".

I feel we're about to enter a golden age for licensed games. This past half-a-decade has had less licensed games than the 90s or 00s, but they've been so much better - and when studios realise getting talented devs to work on IPs they're passionate about is what sells a product, we'll get quality and quantity.

Game Theory was onto something, they just needed to swap around the princess.

Garfield in Nick Brawl honestly feels like a no-brainer to me. The way Garfield funcitons as a comic strip, taking 5 or so running gags and finding new ways to subvert and spice them up every day, is absolutely perfect for a platform fighter and just how beloved/iconic Garfield is more than outweighs his current lack of Nick relevance.

That Mickey Mouse puppet TikTok is way funnier than a "what if Mickey Mouse swore?" gimmick has any right to be.

Rather than a Disney crossover platform fighter, I'd love a devoted Simpsons platform fighter. Turning sitcom characters' personality traits and most iconic gags into moves sounds like right fun, especially for an already exaggerated and cartoony show like the Simpsons.

The reason nobody takes gaming music seriously is because if a general music fan asks a gaming music enthusiast to show them an example of great gaming music they'll most likely play something that sounds like this:

That Shantae Mii Costume Tweet is so memorable to me. The fact that someone felt the need to comment "I'm so sorry, this is the worst thing that could've happened ):" to the character's creator who was celebrating her confirmation in spite of the smaller scale is both disgusting in its ungratefulness and harrowing in showing how hype culture can be internalised. "Sad cringe" if ever I've seen it.

This legitimately sounds terrible - how did Nintendo approve this?

the infinite thread better approve this spirit or ill snap

Just rewatched SMG4's Teletubby TV - I feel ashamed for ever finding this funny. I was on the verge of tears and only laughed as a coping mechanism. "Bored to tears" sounded like a simile until today, even the meta-gag of Mario being tied up and forced to watch the episode didn't resonate with me because Mario wasn't upset enough for me to relate - and I was watching it by choice!

My generation deserved better content - even the real Teletubbies (the show so mindless people thought it was a malicious conspiracy against the youth) provides more entertainment value and more to think about as an adult than this trainwreck does - the solarpunk archetechture, the quirky character designs, the soothing yet silly atmosphere, the creative technology, all of those can be appreciated through an adult lens. I would be concerned for anyone over 16 who found this video funny, even for nostalgia.

I am aware SMG4 was around 14 or 15 when he made this video, and while that could justify the outright offensive jokes because of a lack of world-wearyness, it doesn't justify the sheer lack of comedy and creativity - it is so bad that it negates the benefit of inexperience.

Nick Brawl has long passed the novelty value phase and people art still talking about it - yeah, this game is here to stay.

Scott the Woz has an aura about him that cancels out comedy. Even on the rare occasion he says something actually witty or clever I cannot bring myself to laugh.

I would really love serious videos a la Gaming Historian on some of the topics he covers, there's some really fascinating stuff but I don't want to sit through all the unfunny jokes inbetween.

There is no excuse for the bland, unthemed fonts in current day Nintendo games. If it was for accessibility it'd also be used in Splatoon and Fire Emblem, which I'd argue are the only Nintendo series that still put thought into the fonts they use. If it was for professionalism, that's a selling the products thing, not an inside the products thing.

It's especially egregious with the new WarioWares. Those old fonts made up so much of WarioWare's personality, and they already had HD versions in Smooth Moves.

Gumball stopped being funny around the exact same time his eyes were turned from ovals to circles.

A lot of the "what if Nick Brawl had voice acting" videos come off as the perfect argument against the game having VA.

A lot of the WarioWare characters would be really easy to introduce into Mario multiplayer games - casual and younger fans who only really care about Kart and Party likely wouldn't be confused by the employees popping up out of nowhere because of how self-explanatory their designs tend to be. Like, imagine you're a kid, you don't even know that Wario has his own games, and you just got the new Mario Kart for your 7th birthday. You boot it up to see all your favourite Mario heroes and villains are back - but there's also 3 new characters:

You just glance at them and you know exactly what their main quirks are and what mood they convey - you then tell all your friends at school who haven't got the game yet that the new characters are a disco dancer, a cyborg scientist, and a witch girl and they'll likely either draw up similar images in their mind or, if they're more in the loop on the game/played WarioWare, know exactly who you're talking about.

As much as I love a lot of the RPG characters and want to see them in major Mario games it's a bit harder to get a feel for their personality or even comprehend some elements of their design than with the Ware cast. A casual fan saying "singing robot from Mario Kart" or "alien with sunglasses from Mario Kart" makes a lot more sense without context and is easier to accurately imagine for a non-fan than say, "one-legged witch from Mario Kart" or "bean prince from Mario Kart".

If you say "I won't buy this game because it's a x rip-off", you are openly admitting to supporting monopolies.

I think this music list I made for BWD on the FP3 creation thread is as on-brand as you can possibly get for the character.

The virgin Sega Hard Girls vs. the chad giant Sega Game Gear ominously floating inside a ball, unaffected by gravity.

I really dislike when people say a reboot or continuation is bad just because a character they like is missing or had some characterisation/design change - especially when that instalment is actually bad. Slapping on Krystal won't fix Star Fox Zero's problems.

Filler post to push the auto-playing Reddit cat video off the home page so I can look at it without my background video being interrupted.
