Wario Wario Wario

MAKE HOW TO PLAY 64 AN OFFICIAL STAGE COWARDS

It's really weird how Inkling wasn't part of 3DS/Wii U's DLC. The only valid reason I can think of is that the ink might not work on the 3DS or Wii U 8-player,

Honestly I'd be all for a Daisy starring role. Go off SML1's concepts and make it a desert-themed alien B-movie sort of game, and play up Daisy's hyperactive irrational side instead of just being another pretty princess.

I'm a Mii main (Maiin? Miiain? Miin?), but even I wish some other fighters would get the same love

I feel we as a society should all unanimously come together to agree that Daisy should've been in Super Mario 3D World.

The Yoshi series is such an anomaly in the Nintendo catalogue - everyone complains about there being no new Wario Land games, but that's way better than being stuck in eternal limbo between mediocre and decent like Yoshi is. Not counting puzzle games, there are literally only two truly good Yoshi games (SMW2 and Woolly World - and even then SMW2 is the only one that compares to other Nintendo hits), which is a right shame given Yoshi has such a unique world and playstyle. At least Sonic still gets good games every now and then, and his bad games are easy to make a mockery out of - Yoshi is simply doomed to mediocrity, and he deserves much better.

Why do all these adult sci-fi cartoons have anthropomorphic cats with yellow eyes in them?

Thinking something will be awful, watching the spoilers, and realising it's pretty good. A classic first world problem of the internet age.

Considering Daxter and Clank both got their own spin-offs, I bet if Banjo-Kazooie continued as a major franchise we would've had a Kazooie solo role by now.

Classic Sonic should be the design used in Smash and this is the (green) hill I will die on

Why didn't they localise Fall Guys to Autumn Guys in - wait, you've heard that joke before? dammit...

I never got the logic behind dismissing something as a "vocal minority". If they're the VOCAL minority then they're the ones who feel strongest, and will therefore be the most happy if their requests are met.

Imagine if Sakurai just gave an open apology for Byleth's inclusion on an official Nintendo stream, and revealed a free apology bonus for everyone who brought FP1 before Byleth's announcement - it could be some returning stages, it could be an echo fighter, anything really. I think if Nintendo and Sakurai simply admitted fault everyone would be happy - except the "hoes mad" guys... but yeah, they deserve to have their schadenfreude bomb blow up in their faces

I love Cardi B's new song! https://petcentral.chewy.com/wp-con...-love-water-snowwhite22-x-620-550x.jpg?x68709

Nowadays people tend to treat 2D the same way people did 3D in the 90s. Had Cuphead come out on the PS1 or PS2 with the same quality of animation it'd be nowhere near as acclaimed - which, I should mention, IS a bad thing.

It's great that people now can appreciate 2D animation and the time that goes into it (even if that's mostly because Disney stopped doing 2D), and Cuphead 100% deserves the praise.

Even if the Hazards-Off form only turned off the Yellow Devil and not the platforms, Wily Castle would be a terrible competitive stage, some platforms move way too fast and some are dangerously close to the blast zone.

Film Theory: when Pixar were making the Good Dinosaur they didn't actually know dinosaurs never lived alongside humans so they added the no meteor plot point halfway through production. It's happened before, Disney didn't know lions don't live in the jungle when they made the Lion King so they had the change the title.

I'm not trying to be "PI" or edgy, but I really don't get where the idea of Punch Out being racist came from. Stereotype =/= racist, most Punch Out characters' stereotypical traits are shown to be positive in battle, for example: Don Flamenco's dancing skills let him dodge a punch, Great Tiger uses his magic for unpredictable attacks, e.t.c. - there's no blackface or conical hats (you can play Pro Wrestling for that, now THAT'S a problematic Nintendo game), it's more just a loving jab to other cultures, like siblings mocking one another.

truth be told I'd love to see a British character in a future Punch Out game, as a Brit myself I love the stereotype of Brits as polite tea-lovers who don't care for dental hygiene. (That last part is very true BTW. British teeth are just as horrible IRL as they are on the Simpsons)

I can guarantee that in the future, current Sony, MS and Nintendo fans will agree all 3's now-modern consoles are great. The teens of the 90s now respect both Mario and Sonic regardless of which marketing tricks they fell for, and the teens of nowadays will eventually honour Kratos, Mario, and Master Chief the same way.

That being said, just like the Jaguar before it, they'll all "gather round" to laugh at the Stadia in retrospective. Poor, poor Stadia.

I'm working on a concept for a game starring one of my OCs - while I'm thinking more "Pac-Man World 1" for gameplay, it's going to be a sorta EarthBoundy deal plot wise, beginning off lighthearted and slowly turning dark, while keeping the same themes throughout instead of a "shocking" bait-and-switch. I should note the main villain is called "Goliath Richards", a very immature name for a villain, I know.

Can someone please post in this thread? I've got some trailer ideas I really want to post but I don't want them to be hidden due to people not being notified of an edit. https://smashboards.com/threads/direct-a-trailer.452787/page-5#post-24039130

I'm hoping that the "M Theory" character is from GTA.

Honestly casual players seem much more like they "hate fun" than competitive players.

I have this false memory of Hello Kitty: Roller Rescue getting a unique startup on the original Xbox as to not scare young children. Turns out that was never a thing. I wonder what that idea came from... I was probalby getting confused with a Signapore-exclusive limited edition Hello Kitty Xbox.

Forced Windows updates have probably cost the economy more total than all 47 recessions combined.

People are saying the new Battletoads is kiddy as if an 80s TMNT rip-off where the animals turn their arms into drills isn't already kiddy.

The thing about modern Jim Henson shows is that they're animated as if they were using puppets. Sid the Science Kid's movements look very surreal and sporadic due to a lack of squash-and-stretch and a lot of over-acting, while his design is somewhat unnerving with the strange colours, but had he been a puppet with real human physics weighing him down, facial expressions that only change when they absolutely need to, and a furry texture he'd probably be really charming

I think Smash should be just as much about bringing attention to the little guys as it is about celebrating the big franchises.

Oh my god, why aren't people nostalgic for Despicable Me yet. I'm 18 now, I want to feel old in a way other than YouTube giving me constant Manscaped ads.

Shadow drops > Directs.

Had Origami King been revealed in the Direct Mini alongside the ARMS rep, nobody would've been talking about it at all. The Cadence of Hyrule DLC reveal probably would've been bigger news too had it been shadow dropped.

Tried to make a Smash roster with 90 fighters and 9 echoes. I learned an important lesson making this: less is more.

Mii Brawler basically has a perfect Muddy Mole moveset with the Suplex and Shot Putt, I really wish they'd release a Muddy Mii costume. The proportions and size would be off, sure, but it'd be better than nothing.

Traditional fighting games are basically just games where cheat codes are part of the gameplay.

Please do not take this status seriously.

I just got a YouTube ad with steak in it, like actual cow steak. It's such a surreal experience seeing meat in an advert in 2020.

Personally I don't care where my food comes from, how it was made or what it's made of - if it tastes good it tastes good, end of. I don't get why people would build their entire identity around not eating animals. You're not a long-oppressed minority, you're not making social change - you're just not eating certain types of food.

"NES Hard"?

No, in this household we say "PS1 Hard".

Me and a Discord friend were talking about how the Ghosts would play in Smash.

They'd function similar to a mix of Shulk and PKMN Trainer - basically imagine if you could swap between Mario and Doc mid-match, they change stats, moves don't change animation-wise or general concept-wise but do have different functionality.

Blinky (red) would the powerhouse by process of elimination, Pinky is the speedster given her ambush tactic in the original Pac-Man, Inky (blue) is the all-arounder given how his AI shifts between the other ghosts' AI, while Clyde (orange) is the heaviest with the biggest shield given his habit of running away from Pac-Man

They'd have a long laggy animation for switching (they turn into TURN-TO-BLUE, then become the next ghost) - when they're in TURN-TO-BLUE form they're super vulnerable, which makes them launch far if hit (I'm not sure yet if that's in the "broken Jigglypuff shield" way or "hit by a golden hammer" way)

Given that colours are the only real way of identifying the ghosts, they'd be the same colours for all alts.

Is it just me or has there been a lot of extremely trivial StarFox related news lately?

One game I'm surprised nobody is making an indie spiritual successor to is Pac-Man 2. its strange concept would be much more warmly received nowadays.

Decided to have a go at the "one newcomer for these companies" thing.

If you ever just wake up one day and think "gee, I sure don't feel anxious enough today", look up Kuru Kuru Kururin speedruns.
