  • All this second FE DLC rep talk is making me glad I'm buying the Challenger Packs individually. If that does happen, I hope there'll be a huge, internet-wide backlash on the level of old movie Sonic or Sweet Victory getting swapped for Sicko Mode.
    Bubsy CEOTFK gets a pretty bad rep for falling damage, but honestly I think the fall damage is one of the best executed elements of the game, you can wait until the last second to glide so you can get through the stage faster but risk getting flattened by gravity, or immediately glide when you're doing a big jump for a safer but slower descent - it's a pretty genius idea, which CEOTFK has quite a few of, bogged down by some awful execution.
    I've been looking for a photo editor on Android, and some of the editors on the Play Store are yikes-worthy

    I don't really mean the quality of them and more how they're marketed, they seem to be designed to shame people into lying about their appearance - waist flatteners, boob expanders and stuff like that are heavily marketed.

    Yeah, those ones are really shady.
    The only thing worse than not reaching your Kickstarter goal is going way past it and having tons of elaborate stretch goals to develop and backer copies to manufacture. PlatinumGames seem to have learned this the hard way
    The credits version of Friend Like Me from the live action Aladdin implies, if not directly states, Will Smith's Genie is intentionally contributing to climate change multiple times.
    The funny thing to me about Moto Moto is that Big and Chunky was COMPOSED for Madagascar. It isn't some popular song they included because kids are going to hear it on the radio anyway, no, they wrote this disturbingly sexual anthem specifically for a DreamWorks family movie.
    It's always fun to try and find a way to reinterpret the latest "sexy" art trend as something really gross or weird. I had a lot of fun when Bowsette came around by creating a Wario-fied Samus.
    Family Guy has been shocking and "offensive" for so long that the only thing that can upset the die hard fans now is the creators doing an actual good deed.
    Here's my ideal 1P only Fighters Pass 2:

    Muddy Mole
    Jill
    Waluigi
    Onix
    Tingle
    Paula

    Yep, literally only one fighter people actually want.

    TBH I think we're pretty close to the bottom of the barrel with first parties, with the only A listers I'd say are missing being Waluigi and maybe Impa - but that makes me even more hyped for future 1P reps because we could see some forgotten heroes make a comeback.

    I would honestly call Dixie Kong and Bandana Dee A listers as well since they're the next most important characters from their franchises that deserve to get in Smash next as well as some of the biggest omissions from the roster. Hell, Dixie Kong was the protagonist of DKC3 and the co-protagonist of DKC2.

    Edit: Maybe Wart will return.

    My idea first party fighters pass:

    1. Waluigi
    2. Isaac
    3. Tingle
    4. Akira Howard (I guess they count as first party)
    5. Paper Mario
    6. Rex

    Yeah... a bit more characters people do want, not to undermine your idea
    It's strange there haven't been many good Wallace and Gromit games. You'd think a series known for elaborate inventions and utterly ridiculous yet still intense action/chase scenes would be a prime candidate for any dev wanting to work on a cartoon IP
    "Biggest chest in Smash Ultimate" no good

    Huge yes. Too bad the award owner is absolute trash.
    I still don't get why Sakurai chose Modern Sonic over Classic - the design is the least of Smash Sonic's problems, but still questionable.

    Because he was added in the 2000s Back in Brawl. During those days, there was no "Classic" or "Modern" Sonic, just Sonic. The Sonic Gems Collection for the Gamecube featured "Classic" Sonic games but had "Modern" Sonic in the Cover Art, because that was the design they were using. It wasn't until Generations in 2011 when they started reusing Sonic's Classic Design in Major Products.

    Although i would say that if Sonic was introduced in Smash Ultimate instead of Brawl, they could (and maybe even would) have choosen Classic instead since by that point it was just as valid as using the Dreamcast look.

    Yeah, I do remember reading an interview where Sakurai said he considered using the classic design, I can see why he went with Modern (the lack of disambiguation at the time made it so people didn't associate Modern with 06, Heroes, Shadow or anything like that), but if he were introduced in 3DS or Ultimate, they may (but not absolutely) have gone with Classic either for positive brand recognition, the association with gaming history/Mega Drive or just out of preference.

    Not exactly sure if this qualifies as a take but regardless...
    I think the modern design is the best interpretation of Sonic we've had. As revered as the classic design is, I find it awfully derivative and clearly just shows that this character was made to combat Mario in marketing.
    The modern design gives Sonic more of an identity, his longer legs emphasizes his movement, the curvature in his face gives him a cockier default expression, the leaner figure overall to distinguish him from slower platform mascots. It gives him more of an identity overall, rather than simply being a contrarian to the norm.
    I do think this primarily applies to the Adventure titles though; those games weren't the best but they encapsulated Sonic's spirit to a T. The dumbass soap shoes, the weird shiny textures; wonderful, wonderful.
    Personal opinion aside, while choosing the Classic design wouldn't detriment Sonic, choosing the Modern design wasn't absurd by any stretch of the imagination.
    Dr. Baby Wario, despite being a baby clone, is a good sign for future Mario spin off rosters, because it means Nintendo are now willing to dig up obscure characters.

    It's mostly because the mobile departments finally ran out of ideas and decided to actually take the effort to search things.

    Y'know, I wonder if Baby Wario was chosen in response to the huge amount of bootleg plushies in his likeness, like Street Fighter Turbo, just with competitive balancing swapped for ugly babies.
    I wonder if people outside the UK know how hugely popular the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amiga were and still are over here... like, we had C64 games on the Wii VC over here.

    I've heard of the last two, never heard of the ZX Spectrum. Besides, I thought they all failed or whatever?

    black being capitalised is a pet peeve of mine, I get why it's done, but that doesn't stop it from making professional essays look like something written by a 10 year old, especially when white isn't capitalised.
    SSBU matchmaking is great, but visible GSP and Elite Smash are not - they've turned SSBU online into a **** measuring contest, where people will cheat just for bragging rights, only to be bodied seconds later
    "When did superheroes become so political?"

    Yeah, because "truth, justice and the American way" is such an apolitical phrase.
    I don't blindly hate IGN like a lot of people, but a word of advice: don't expect reviewers and journalists mostly versed in modern games to give good insight into games from quote-unquote "dead genres" - They're here to review the games with latest tech, not indie throwbacks or retro remakes.

    9.3 was much more than Sword and Shield deserved and 7.8 is too little for a game like ORAS.
    I can't believe ALF is hosting the Summer Games Fest, that is the sort of thing I'd make up while sober-but-pretending-to-be-drunk-despite-the-fact-I-openly-oppose-alcohol-consumption
    Wario is depicted so inconsistently that your perception of him depends on the games you played and where you lived growing up. I personally love how he's portrayed in the Ware games, a slobby jerk who loves money, but has a well hidden soft side - of course I can see why people prefer Wario as a muscular anti-heroic chad, but I generally gravitate towards the weirder types.

    I feel like DK has something similar going on with him. A lot of Nintendo fans who grew up with DKC and the TV series see him a likeable good-guy, but the majority of people who are just familiar with the classic arcade game see him as a big mean ape.

    Yeah I know that "DK" went on to be Cranky but 1) most people don't know that and 2) DK lore is a mess anyway.

    If you grew with Mario games in the 2000s, then you probably see DK as a dumb, goofy, cartoon gorilla, as that's how Mario spin-offs at the time tended to portray him.
    One thing that irrationally annoys me is the use of love hearts in character designs, especially female. it's like shouting from the rooftops "THIS CHARACTER IS CUTE" instead of actually putting effort into making them cute.

    It can also make people uglier. Slap it on an ugly person and they look even uglier. That's something I've seen a few times.

    My Switch has a super weird problem - the left joycon works on the BIOS but not on the games EXCLUSIVELY when connected to the console, but the capture button works in both modes.
    SiIvaGunner's doing a charity event where they make on-tune Space Jam mashups for 24 hours. Let's SLAM racism harder than the MonStars!
    Is buying a PS4 a good idea right now/soon? I really want to play It's About Time and, to a much lesser extent, the first Spider-Man, and PS4s will probably be pretty cheap now the 5 is coming out.

    In a word: yes. My rule of thumb is, buy a console once it has enough games that are worth your interest.

    Try to get a Pro model, if possible, for enhancing some games.
    The Bugsnax trailer gives me EarthBound vibes - silly and cute for the most part, but with dark undertones that aren't the focus (so not the pure horror game everyone thinks it'll be, but not 100% cutesy kiddie fare either). I've heard Octodad had a similar vibe
