Wario Wario Wario

The way that Tooth Tunes were depicted as transmitting their music to the brain in ads always looked really painful.

It's honestly really sad that reveal trailer hype is basically Smash's entire brand now - feels like a tumour that's slowly covering the entire body and restricting the franchise from doing anything interesting.

DK acts in Smash the way Bowser should be acting.

In Nick Kart Racers 2, the Avatar State is just an item anyone can use. That means that, canonically, Squidward is a reincarnation of the Avatar.

One thing I've learned from checking the "controversial" filter on Reddit is that crypto bros legit believe right click memes are a propaganda conspiracy to stop GameStop from opening their NFT marketplace.

Even though he kinda screams "main character for the sake of main character"/completionist pick, I love that Lincoln Loud is in NASB because 1. he's really fun to play, and 2. compared to other kid characters in fighting games (including NASB itself), he doesn't have a mature disposition; depectively innocent charm; or powers beyond comprehension as result of a life-changing journey - he's just a clumsy, smug little albino boy with a water gun and toy rocket.

The soundtracks to NASB and Nick Kart Racers 2 feel like they were switched at birth or something - the kart racer has really intense, blood-pumping tunes with lots of guitar solos; while the competitive platform fighter tends to go for a more laid-back true-to-the-source-materal approach.

Lucas being in (the modern incarnation of) Smash and getting a mass-produced amiibo is kinda funny to me in the same way that Wall-E consistantly showing up to Disney's big IP showcases and getting an NFT is funny.

I mean, sure, Wall-E has nowhere near as radical an approach to its anti-consumerism message as Mother 3, but Lucas' merchandising is nowhere as extreme as Wall-E's so it evens itself out.

I really wish the next Smash game would treat its newcomers as no big deal, like you just wake up one day, check the website and say "hey, Waluigi's in!"

Unannounced blog posts are the optimal method of revealing video game content.

It's funny how (to my knowledge) Mario Kart has more heavy metal music than Smash

I don't know why people say Piranha Plant was such a rule-breaking expectation-changing Smash pick. It's a regular part of the standard Mario platformer cast, known to billions around the world and merchandised to hell and back - if anything it just cemented obscure and retro characters as no longer being part of the Smash brand, swapped for weird or funny characters.

I kinda wanna have a go at de-genericising all the original Smash items.

I don't think I've ever seen a game series more let down by its art style alone than New Super Mario Bros. - those games would be way more acclaimed and beloved if they just chose a slightly different art style every instalment.

Makes me wonder if Mario World would be as beloved if it was an NES game that reused SMB3's graphical assets...

Galeem is a mindless, genocidal beast who managed to bring the likes of Bayonetta; Palutena; and Professor Chops to their semi-ends, yet he's easily the least scary anthropomorphic sun Nintendo has ever put out.

also he didnt catch dry bones buzzy beetle or any pac man character introduced after 1984 get rekt

I feel that if I were the director of an alternate-universe PS/MS Smash Bros. and got a deal sorted with Nintendo, I'd skip Mario and go straight for Donkey Kong. Partially bias, but also because all things considered nobody's favourite Mario character is Mario and I don't really see much reason for him to be in if he isn't the super-standard shoto archetype.

The concept of the Popeye Switch game actually sounds really cool - a 3D reimagining of an 80s arcade game with the exact same mechanics and no modern touch ups other than the 3D levels.

If Nintendo pursuaded me to add a character I created to Smash, these would be my ground rules

1. The character must use exclusively original abilities and mechanics with absolutely nothing taken from the source material
2. The character must be protrayed as uncharacteristically frightened and cowardly in battle, but uncharacteristically smug and bragadocious upon victory
3. The character's trailer must contain multiple jokes about how they're only doing it for the money and generally find their inclusion demeaning
4. The character and stage must be modeled in a PS1 low poly style - that includes BMP compressed textures.

I don't know why people say "you just don't find insert female comedian here funny because she isn't sexy!" when one of the biggest legitimate criticisms that's often given to bad female comedians is their overreliance on sexual humour

why does the geico wiki have the entire transcript of toy story sorted into dvd chapters

I think Adventure Time is the only long-running TV show (at least in animation, I'm not exactly familiar with the 3 dimensional world of media) where opinion is divided between it not having jumped the shark at all or having jumped the shark after its first season - I guess South Park has a bit of a similar situation, but even then the dividing shift didn't come as quick and it's kinda agreed the show entered seasonal rot at some point or another.

Shout outs to the person who sung the "weird!" in the Archie's Weird Mysteries intro

One childhood memory I should by no means have been upset about even as a 9 year old but still saddens me a little to think about is when the 2011 royal wedding was happening and the RadioTimes (British TV scheduele magazine) was doing submissions for kid-drawn covers - I wanted to submit a drawing, but my parents were adamant I add a tagline reading "My Big Fat Royal Wedding", referencing a popular British TV show at the time called "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding", which I was unfamiliar with almost entirely except for the fact it was supposedly really offensive - and therefore 9 year old me was uncomfortable with the reference. They kept demanding I add the tagline despite my protests so ultimately I just scrapped the picture.

This may or may not be the Doofenshmirtz backstory for why I hate topical humour.

How did I never know there was an Eastenders dress up flash game in the 2000s? Seems like something I should've known about, and memed to death, years ago.

So, does Team17 currently hold the world record for NFT%?

Master Chief has now officially appeared in the same room as Olmec.

Tomorrow

Even though I was involved in it, I'd actually be super disappointed if Smash Infinite were a real game, mostly because of the gimmicky and summon-based movesets

scarlett johansson be like

One thing I think people don't understand when they say "where's the final smashes/items/wacky F-Zero car stages?" about other platform fighters is that there point-blank is not a market for a game like that which isn't Smash itself - Smash is so all-encompasing and huge at this point that no casual game could provide anything Smash doesn't to a casual audience other than "hey look its mickey mouse hehe". Taking the Melee approach is more profitable because you're targeting the audience most disappointed by Namco-era Smash and therefore most likely to be interested in - and invest in - an alternative.

I'm surprised it took me this long to realise Buzzfeed quizzes are intended to get you ad data - the whole "what's your favourite colour?" "which shoes would you wear?" "which dessert do you prefer?", it all makes way more sense.

I'm pretty sure DDR is the one game with the most references in cartoons. I assume because it's easy to animated as a background prop and easy to makes puns out of.
