Continuing from my post about the godawful pigeon song, I did see a SiIvaGunner fusion collab using the song a few weeks before, but I thought it was just some meme song that got associated with the CGI animals from the Disney remakes as a niche meme for some reason.

Also, while I can appreciate making Scuttle a girl, it does raise the question of why the Lion King remake didn't make Rafiki a girl since that was already a thing in the Broadway show and they were trying to add girl power elements.

Even though I'm sure it's a good game (the B-roll footage from the soundtrack upload looks pretty cool), it's very funny to me that Tee Lopes did a soundtrack for a mobile game called "Banana Kong".

Let's say you're in charge of Nintendo for a day - however, there's 2 catches

You cannot effect game development, no forcing anyone to make a new F-Zero or Wario Land or fixing the lag in Smash Ultimate.
You cannot make any morally-driven decisions (charity, decreasing crunch, e.t.c.)

It's all business. You can rerelease games, buy IPs, sell IPs, make commercials, sell the company, make a licensing deal for non-specific games or movies, so on. What do you do?

Just heard the Little Mermaid remake "Scuttlebutt" song.

The Home on the Range off-tune yodeling villain song and Pickle & Peanut opening theme have competition for the title of "Worst Disney Song". (Fantasia for Mega Drive doesn't count, that was only Disney-licensed by technicality)

The fake scanline on VGFacts banners usually looks really good - it looks fine with retro screenshots, modern screenshots, retro promo art, modern promo art, crusty JPEGs of retro promo art, crusty JPEGs of modern promo art, crusty JPEGs of modern screenshots... the only exception of crusty JPEGs of retro screenshots.

Ugh.

I accidentally played two videos at once, one at the start and one in the middle, and thought that the joke was "Howard the Duck is so boring that we're going to overlap the audio of our sponsor with the review"

A long, long time ago, when I was a little kid infact, I saw a really cute homemade Toy Story fan movie from the really early 2000s, made by some parents for their kids, on YouTube, uploaded under the title of "The ORIGINAL Toy Story 3!" or something like that - and half-way through, it turned into a Wallace & Gromit crossover (think the MLP fanfilm that had the Powerpuff Girls show up in the middle). I thought the crossover was kinda weird at the time, but in hindsight, that makes a lot of sense?? Like, I think the mentality was just "My kids like these characters, and my kids like these characters, let's have them meet" and nothing else (I don't remember the video well enough and can't find it to say if W&G were actually toys in the plot), but honestly it would just make sense for Woody and Buzz to just randomly meet a claymation "actor" and mistake them for a fellow toy. Plus, I think this was made around the time of the Wallace & Gromit taxi incident, which is basically just a setup for a Toy Story movie as is.

As much as I love classic single screen platformers, and dislike genres being seen as "This is the good one, the rest are the bad ones", I will say that it's insane how much better Bubble Bobble holds up compared to other platformers from the same year like Mappy and non-super Mario Bros. (both of which are great games mind you) - advanced techniques that the level design is built around, references to older games, multiple power ups and beneficial level elements, post-game content, probably-accidental lore bait, a ridiculous length - a few of these things even games like Annalynn and Antonball don't have - if BB came out today as an indie, even with its rough patches and 80s-isms like the weird ending requirements and 3-song-soundtrack intact, it would've gone viral, or at least amassed just as passionate a fandom as it got in the 80s.

Wait, so all this time that "100 inflatable dinosaur suits go to a high street" video I watched as a kid was Mr. Beast?

Continuing from that freedom fries post, I feel that - while 9/11 was indeed a tragedy and people affected by it should be allowed to mourn in peace - now that I'm older and have done research on the political climate that came out of it, as well as the reasons we've been conditioned to remember it more than other tragedies where many, many more people died (those reasons being well... patriotism, Islamophobia, and military expansion), I don't really feel too bad satirizing it. Not saying you should just post memes on mourning Twitter threads or whatever, that's a **** move, but there's absolutely a lot of bad and ridiculous stuff America did at the time that victimhood can't justify, and it's worth questioning why so much emphasis and such a "sacred" image is put on the WTC compared to pandemics, oil spills, wars, and hurricanes of a similar caliber

oh my god i just realised that in 15/20 years we'll be getting big-budget horror movies made with unregistered hypercam 2 by nostalgic 2000s kids.

I cannot believe how the Olympics of all things had a more unhinged DriDim character lineup than the likes of SpongeBob and Shrek, and even previous unexpectedly-unhinged seasons like Kirby and Spider-Man. Appreciate it though.

Updating Mario's moveset while leaving everything the same

Mario throws Cappy at a near range instead of cape
Cappy quickly travels to Mario's feet before Super Jump Punch
FLUDD has Mario grow an elephant trunk while charging, and fully become an elephant while using the move proper
Fireball is a Rabbids laser gun

Downdating Mario's moveset while leaving everything the same

Crabs come out of Super Jump Punch instead of coins
Mario throws black Superballs instead of fireballs
The cape is swapped for Mario hopping in a Goomba Shoe doing a very light lying kick
FLUDD is swapped for playing a warp whistle that blows foes away

Nintendo-related VGFacts submissions get approved way faster than other submissions - I can understand why, but it's still interesting to bring up.

Smash subs tend to take ages to be approved though.

Enchanted Portals looks like a slightly-above-average game based on a game that's whole concept was just two pre-existing concepts mashed together (like most post-medieval art) anyway, I have no clue why people are so pissed off. EP doesn't even look that rubberhose to me, the aesthetic reminds me a lot more of Disney shorts than Fleischer.

YouTube added a "save image frame" option. Rare YouTube feature addition W.

It may not be DKCR3, but Mario vs. DK is a great outcome for all this DK speculation. I've been craving a good Lemmings-like on Switch for ages if it's another minis escort game, and if it isn't then it's a single-screen platformer, which has been in very low supply since... the first half of the 80s.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 9, 2023

i just realised the bird vs camel song uses the megalovania guitar

wait, since jontron is a racist who's scared of commulists does this also count as a villain song.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 9, 2023

Since godawful villain songs seem to be gaining traction lately, I think everyone needs to see this

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 9, 2023

I think a lot of people who complain about Smash "warping perspectives of characters" don't realize that most people who think Wario is supposed to be a Garbage Pail Kid pastiche or Ganondorf is supposed a boxer still like them anyway, sometimes for that very reason.

I've also seen people say that Smash made Diddy Kong look like "Just a cliche mischievous cartoon monkey" or something to that extent... as someone who considers DKC2 a top 10, possibly 5 game of all time, and had a pretty long-lasting DK hyperfixation at one point, that is literally Diddy Kong's canon personality, and always was. Not even a localisation thing like Wario misconceptions since DKC was originally made in English. Somebody saw one manual line about Diddy "wanting to be as big a star as DK", then saw he got his own game, and made up an entire arc in their head.

People will say "Highly requested characters are inherently better than non-requested characters! All Smash characters should be the fans' choice!" and then say they cried tears of joy at the return of Young Link and Pichu.

I had a dream where the Goosebumps TV show got rebooted, but they decided to have it take place in the UK, so the dog getting lizard eyes was replaced with a roadkill fox getting lizard eyes and the woman on the billboard was replaced with frog-themed lawn ornaments.

I was going to, as a joke, submit a bunch of frog-related trivia to VGFacts - but then I realized that would require me to go down the rabbit hole of Frog Fractions 2, so the plot was aborted.

i have a feeling hes talking about

Being the admin of user contributed game content reveals many interesting obsessions among users.

People seem to really love Thomas the Tank Engine, Disney's Cars, and the excessive number of Five Nights at Freddy's games.

I wish I loved anything as much as them 🥲
