What is it with crossover platform fighter fans and acting like Extremely Iconic 80s Things From The 1980s are obscure deep cuts?

If Ken gets in Multiversus, he better have Earring Magic as an alt.
RIP to Garden Wall fans, they got Steamboat Willied.
Me, someone who grew up with (and still to an extent has) a hyperfixation on 80s/90s kid-culture, watching the "le adult cartoon... is watched by le children?" discourse play out.
I find it funny how, on virtue of featuring so many non-action cartoons, NASB is probably the only fighting game series where neutral-aligned characters outweigh the amount of villainous ones, and might even outweigh the amount of heroes depending on whether you count characters like SpongeBob who on average just kinda do normal stuff, but occasionally take on a heroic role in a 2-parter episode or movie, as heroes.
It's absolutely impossible they were thinking this far ahead, but I really like how - in the modern age where retro games are typically discovered by new players in a format where they only have either a box art or a title to go off of - Donkey Kong '94 can actually work as a bait-and-switch.
It is really a right shame that Nintendo arguably has the best library of weird rando characters and IPs to dig through of any of the brands making IP crossover platform fighters, but plays it so safe and people-pleasy with its platform fighter that Duck Hunt and Piranha Plant are considered "joke picks"
It's weird how a lot of people will say "NASB1 tried too hard to appeal to adults", but then criticise the game for having smaller movesets; overly offense-based gameplay; and two-flickies moves.
oh god, people are doing the "nickelodeon waited for hillenberg to die" schtick again for the backyardigans reboot.
I had a dream where I came home from a non-specified holiday, and found out that NASB2 released an update to give all the stages competitive forms.
Yeah, kinda boring
I think the Cheetahmen are pretty epic, but making their catchphrase "Livin' large!" instead of "Cheetahs always prosper!" was a massive missed opportunity.
It's kinda hilarious in a pathetic way how a lot of internet people who try to argue that they're "the NORMAL ones" aren't actually very normal if you step off of the internet for once. From my experience, almost everyone in the real world is pro-trans/enby, pro-ace/aro, pro-furry, pro-goth, pro-polyamory, pro-piracy, pro-dyed hair, pro-Disney adult, e.t.c. - name a minority group, hobby, victimless crime, method of self-expression, fandom, e.t.c.; and the normal layman can probably get behind it. Maybe I'm just lucky, I don't know.
It's really weird how people talk about "brainrot" like it's an... actual quantifiable thing.
Does Goku HAVE to shout the names of his attacks to use them? Because if so, I know a character who could easily beat Goku.
I have always associated the colour green with the number 3, and never understood why, and now I just realised that it's because the Shrek the Third marketing machine ramped up right as I was gaining sentience.
I love the localisation censorship to Bonanza Bros, because it's so lazy and clunky that it feels like the Bonanzas themselves hijacked the game to cover up their activity.

The Simpsons: Tapped-Out is post-apocalypse fiction
Been morbidly obsessed with the Star Vs. finale lately, never seen the show so maybe the context is lost in translation, but I don't think any context could make it OK.
Whoever on the late 90s SNES game music ripping forums decided the Radical Rex theme song should be called "Dated Slang Rap" is a hero.
i was thinking about how shrek is in the library of congress, and it got me thinking:
how many library of congress films have fart jokes?
thus far i know of:
- shrek
- blazing saddles
- the lion king
- dances with wolves
- road to morocco
just imagine if nintendo pulled the every-nes-game-list thing again in 30/40 years for a switch nostalgia project.
Infobox image choices from foreign Wikipedias that can only use creative commons images are iconic
I never bothered to look into the Beer Lore until reading New Norm memes (I am not an alcoholic, the only Beer Lore I know is all the thinly vieled attempts at marketing to kids and Stella whatever trying to remove a Wikipedia page calling them "wife beater beer"), and only just now have I found out thatTM is actually called "Coors" and not "Cools" with a poor typeface that looks like "Coors".
yooo guys new contrarian side-over-protag idea just dropped
How the hell did the Game Boy Camera garner a reputation as "creepy"? Like, I really don't get it. I was a timid kid, bought a GB Camera without context of its reputation, WAYRF only made jump a little and then I was immediately trying to get it again because it was funny, and that's basically the only thing that could be considered even slightly unsettling in the entire software - a jumpscare, a party trick. Otherwise it's more like a non-game WarioWare precursor. The very vast majority of it looks like this:
the title to q*bert 3 is the most garishly 90s thing ive ever seen, and that's saying a lot
new time-perception-crushing video game fact discovered: adventure (1980) and adventure ii (officially authorised in 2005) is only the 5th longest sequel gap in gaming.
I'm not Japanese so I wouldn't know, but I can't help but think that the Emio teaser being for Famicom Detective Club probably wasn't that out-of-left-field to the Japan audience. If Nintendo released a cryptic video of a tank, we as Westerners probably wouldn't be too surprised if it turned out to be Advance Wars instead of a Nintendo take on COD.
The Deadpool movie merchandise is trying too hard.
went on the crossover wiki and am now cursed with the knowledge that there exists an official fnaf/chuck e cheese crossover and its a shrek parody; and also that spyro and deadpool have crossed over with jeffy jeffy in an offical capacity.

THE MODERN ATARI STARTED AS A DIVISION OF THE GOODTIMES MOCKBUSTER COMPANY????
Since I was talking about green furry characters in Fortnite yesterday, it is genuinely baffling to me that Jazz Jackrabbit still isn't in Fortnite as a skin. It's not the most recognisable IP, but it also probably wouldn't cost a cent to use and fits perfectly with both Fortnite's sci-fi lasers theme and its heavy amount of anthro characters.
It's weird how people talk about multiplayer games that aren't the Current Hot Thing in past tense as if they just... randomly disappeared or something.
I used to really hate baby clones, but I now I think they're funny - how can you hate a face like this?
I'm the new Norm! I want weird beer! -
