If Plankton was in Nick Brawl, I'd want him to use the Krabby Patty robot - that way he's big enough to actually fight while staying true to the source, but small enough to keep the joke going and accurately represent the advantages and disadvantages he has in the show.

If people figured out how to do stage mods for NASB, that alone would get me to at least consider getting a new PC to switch to the Steam version. There are so many Smash stages I'd love to try in NASB's engine.

Every country should have its own assigned troublemaking cartoon boy named Dennis the Menace.

SMH lazy game freak not giving us what we want

"We need better preservation for gaming history"

"DID SOMEBODY SAY COMPLETELY UNIQUE, UN-DUPLICATABLE NFTS???"

I think Nintendo kinda miss that the whole point of competition is that you learn from it - that applies to both, making games and how they expect people to play games.

Your New Profile Picture is funny as Heck.

The Mario & Sonic Olympics games wouldn't get nearly as much flak if the Olympics license wasn't attached. A sports compilation is really kind of an obvious choice for a Mario and Sonic crossover - one's known for speed and reflexes, the other is known for lifting strength and powers, makes sense to see which sports each would excell at - but sliding in imagery of the real world Olympics and its history makes what is really a mundane-at-worst concept seem unfathomably weird.

Whenever I argue that Smash Ultimate isn't a celebration of gaming history, the usual response is "well, it's Nintendo's celebration of gaming history" or "it's a celebration of Japanese gaming history" - and in that case... well, it's not a celebration of gaming history. That's an extremely heavy title, and you need to be all or nothing if you're to use it. That "all" is completely unrealisable and if it were to happen would disappoint a vast majority, if not all, of the Smash fandom.

It's funny to see people disregard Nick Brawl requests (specifically a certain duck-loving dad and Spanish adventurer) as "meme picks" considering this is a game where all except 6 at most* of the characters are objectively joke characters.

*Leo, Mikey, Danny, and the Avatar reps

Unless you grew up in an extremely niche generational subset of younger players entranced by older people's nostalgia, asking "does Nick Brawl have a good roster?" or "what characters do you want in Nick Brawl?" is really just asking "how old are you?"

90s kid media controversies: "rockos modern life said a sex joke" "garbage pail kids looked gross" "furbies are scary"

2000s kid media controversies: "NEOPETS WAS USED TO PROMOTE SCIENTOLOGY" "ICARLY ACTORS WERE BULLIED INTO ANOREXIA" "AQUA DOTS CONTAINED DRUGS"

OK, so making fun of NFTs = lots of likes.

Noted.

"YOU BECAME THE VERY THING YOU SWORE TO DESTROY!"

Honestly I completely understand why the taunts in NASB are so bland - a lot of the moves in the game are basically taunts in their own right, even the more action-y characters attack by showing off their competition belt and playing air guitar.

Orbit Gum's new slogan is "Get Your Ding Back". How did that pass through?

So, is Nick Brawl actually the first official game to not have all the Ninja Turtles? I'd be genuinely surprised if it hasn't happened before.

Where the HELL is that pic of Peter and Chris Griffin as Ashley and Alucard?

I had a dream where the Nick Brawl DLC characters were Leonardo again, buying him would just duplicate his slot on the CSS, and a team of 6 tiny clones of Little Amadeus (the Mozart cartoon) as one fighter. I'm sure there were 4 extra characters but I can't remember.

I clicked this video without fully registering the title and vocally shouted "NO" when it started.

Considering how much Gen Alpha loves spooky, eerie stories peppered with cute characters (like FNaF for example), Cartoon Network are sitting on a potential gold mine with Courage the Cowardly Dog.

I really see no harm in having non-gaming hardware/software reps (Clippy, Hatsune Miku, Nokia Snake or Suzanne the Blender Monkey for example) in Smash. There's so few options, let alone viable options, from that field that they'd barely touch FE's fighter count after using all possible characters.

"It was you! forgotten/maligned mascot!" is kind of a boring cliché now.

Be careful what you wish for.

Until the voiceover came on, I thought this video was a fake like those "SpongeBob on Qubo? (REAL)" videos - there's no way ITV would've syndicated Chowder 6 years after it was cancelled and advertised it with Turn Down for What... right? Then I did more looking and someone else had uploaded the promo from a TV recording - and there's another Chowder ad complete with a child actor dancing in a Chowder shirt.
Does kinda make sense from business perspective to syndicate Chowder at that time though, CITV was airing a censored version of Adventure Time at that point so they probably wanted another CN export in a similar vein - Its "sister shows" of sorts, Regular Show and Gumball, probably wouldn't have been good fits given the RS' edgy 80s horror/action influences, and Gumball's mundane (at the time) world and adventures causing a possible overlap with Horrid Henry (who had been CITV's mascot for a decade at that point, and seemingly still is) but Chowder has that whimsical world and subversive humour people liked early AT for, even if it doesn't take itself nearly as seriously.

Telesussies

Normal people doing the "add a fighter for every series" challenge:
"Well, OF COURSE Fatal Fury's second rep would be Iori! Metal Gear? Grey Fox, duh! Now, uh, Game & Watch? Duck Hunt? Uhh.... a lone duck? Chef?"

Me:
"Well, Duck Hunt's second rep should obviously be Mr. Stevenson, and Dynamite Jack or Oiram Repus would be a good fit for Game & Watch - now uhh... Fatal Fury... what's the name of the Freddy Krueger looking guy on KoF Stadium? Metal Gear's gotta be a Metal Gear, right? Robots are cool."

It seems that what I like to call "The Sonic Snark Embargo" has finally been lifted for Forces.

EVIL PEWDIEPIE BE LIKE

I DO NOT FEEL LIKE PARTAKING IN AN IMAGINARY ONE-SIDED CONTEST WITH A FACELESS BRAND TARGETING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AUDIENCE

NASB hasn't made SSBU borderline unplayable for me like CTR did MK8, but I do have a lingering feeling in the back of my head of "God, I wish I was playing Nick" every time I go back to SSBU. Still enjoy it though, but more as a "woah, look at all this stuff!" spectacle than a game if that makes sense.

Society if Sakurai finished the character design for Twinkle Popopo

I feel the single legally easiest to access game of all time statistically would probably be the 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sega rerelease it constantly (the Switch alone has 3 different options for playing it) and have bundled it with certain newer Sonic games, copies of previous releases aren't too expensive, it's free on iOS, multiple plug and play consoles with the game installed exist, and it has no worry of ever being struck with a higher age rating than the launch version on virtue of lacking casino levels and the only organic enemy being kept safe by his mech pod.
