imagine if mario kart crossroads got announced with third parties and doug bowser said "This new game was inspired by a highly popular internet animation I'm sure many of you have seen thanks to its eyecatching thumbnail!"

hard choices here
Imagine explaining to someone from Japan that when Disney brought Fox, the property Western people were instantly imagining in KH was not something like Anastasia; Narnia; or one of the Wes Anderson stop motion movies, but rather a 90s sitcom known for meta- and anti-establishment humour that takes place in a small mundane town with unshaded colours.
"This game is overpriced!"
game goes on sale
"DESPERATION SALE!"
take a guess which game im talking about
I don't believe in karma, but something about AniMat having targetted Sony Animation and its employees so harshly for years only for them to become critically acclaimed enough to rival Pixar is a little cathardic.
The film:
The Oscars for your consideration poster:
I have mixed feelings on the idea of Timmy Turner in NASB - not because of Oaxis/Butch or anything, but rather because there's just so much moveset potential that it'd be hard to give his moveset a concentrated theme or feel, but on the other hand he's just such an iconic Nicktoons character that it wouldn't really feel right to go straight to a side character like Jorgen (especially considering the whole Nelvana deal). What I would do personally is either 1. base his moveset primarily on the intro - that way the definitive most iconic wishes are represented, or 2. base his moveset entirely on the wishes that drive the plots of episodes - so just because Timmy wished for a parachute one time as a deus ex machina doesn't mean he can use a parachute, but if he spent a whole episode using a wish for Cosmo and Wanda to be skating gear that's fine.
Got my thematically relevant Phoenix Wright Mii costume submission ready for Infinite
Retro Studios' DK games have way too many bottom eyelids for my liking. Bottom eyelids just don't mesh with the DK universe.
I tend to have a different mentality between making fighting game rosters and kart racers rosters - when doing fighting games, it has to be moveset potential and uniqueness getting top priority with popularity being a considerable factor that could make or break but rarely does, but in kart racers where characters are mostly cosmetic you have to get in everyone's favourites and justify obscure picks by choosing ones who work just as well as character designs in a vacuum as they do as full characters.
I'm looking back at the PaRappa content I submitted for the Parallel Universe thread and... wow, how did I think this was OK for an Advanced spirit? Like, I generally make Spirit Battles under the assumption that stats would be changed so I shouldn't worry about difficulty, but this is insane even for a Legend.
Even if you think Ultimate is better than NASB (it isn't), Sakurai should still be paying attention to it as any game dev should be paying attention to other games of their genre, good or bad.
I dunno why people say "too obscure" fan rule was broken by Ultimate - if anything it solidified it.
If my games (should I ever get them off the ground) get localisations, I want the people doing them to just blatantly unmarried-parents-ize it - not just change it to fit the culture, but also their own vision. If my game gets turned into Anime Magical Catgirl Dragon Adventure for Japan I'd be really satisfied because that's creativity at work and, even if I dislike the aesthetic they chose, I love seeing creativity built on top of existing works.
I would say Factory Pomo and Wacky Pomo are my aesthetics of choice - basically, the table scraps of the 90s/early 00s that nobody from the time is nostalgic for and nobody my age wants to dig up. I don't think either of them have articles on the Aesthetics Wiki in fact, closest would be "Kidcore" as an equivalent to Wacky Pomo, but that plays more into the cute, innocent element of childhood than the wacky, rule-breaking element.
Megamind and Despicable Me are probably the "twin movies" with the most drastic a quality gap - not that Despicable Me is a bad movie (it's a fun slapstick comedy, better than a lot of its contemporaries from Blue Sky and pre-Spiderverse Sony, that would likely be viewed in a better light if it didn't spawn such a big franchise), moreso that Megamind is just that good.
I'm not opposed to Goku in NASB, it's absolutely impossible but if the game got big enough to justify guests budgetary-wise Goku would be a decent pick even if I'd rather have a more cartoony anime character like Doraemon.
the Ghost Gang is an underrated Smash pick
I've gone down the Caillou Gets Grounded rabbithole again - personally I prefer the pre-ironic type of grounded video that doesn't relish in absurdity but rather lets it happen like it's nothing - closing logos; PNG characters; and all, but the ironic ones that poke at "GoAnimate logic" and such can occasionally be genuinely clever.
My dream platform fighter has always been Nicktoons - hit otherworldly lucky with that one - now I really want a Simpsons platfighter.
I feel Rio, Robots, Ice Age, e.t.c. should all be getting reboots under Disney and not continuations - they're films where the concept, world, and characters are there but the plot and humour just aren't, absolute perfect reboot material
If you were born in 1999, you are NOT a 90s kid!
You are a 90 kid, singular.
I dunno why when people put WarioWare characters into general Mario Kart/Tennis/Party rosters, they always choose Mona (after the obvious Ashley) - she's the most basic character in the entire subfranchise, seems weird to choose her to represent the weird subseries over say; the eldery cyborg or the 70s disco dancer.
I honestly do feel Everyone is Here was a mistake, even ignoring any conception of resources and development time. Would've made Byleth (who honestly, despite being a really bad choice from a roster perspective probably has the best moveset of the DLC) sting a lot less, made DLC characters not need to stand out as much and therefore make all of them to the same standards as Byleth; Sephiroth; or Plant, and allowed Smash to continue as a series much easier and therefore make Ultimate's flaws more likely to be fixed at some point.
I don't really like modern adult animation, but Smiling Friends absolutely catches my eye.
"Why did they add Pyra to Smash? Her character design is so ugly!" I say while trying to encourage people to play a game with Klasky Csupo characters in it.
Learning more about Japanese gaming and media culture explains a lot about the weird roster choices in Smash, though it doesn't really justify most of them either.
The roster for Disney Melee Mania is actually pretty good, but I must question the choice of Timon and Jasmine of all characters, at least in the context of what we know currently. The other side-over-protag choices I think were good calls though. Manticore and Bing Bong are especially good picks.
Looking at the NASB box/title art makes me really glad they didn't go the Smash Mario "angrier than canon because they're fighting!" route in the actual game - Lincoln, SpongeBob, and CatDog all look... wrong
I had a dream where Nintendo replaced Mario as their mascot with the blue haired background character from the exposition comic bundled with Drill Dozer.
I like the pirate AU Tawna in Crash 4 and how her darker past/personality contrasts the silly characters, I just wish they did something comical with that juxtaposition - like having her act melodramatic in wacky scenarios or such.
Turns out the QR Code menes actually link to viruses and not pirated Adobe products
That's less good morally, but probably more safe legally.
The new Street Fighter looks great
I'm watching some of Memeulous' recent content, there's a really comforting feeling to seeing an edgetuber I watched when I was an angsty teen grow out of cringe culture but also keep a similar sense of humour. -
