The faux-retro box art for EarthBound Beginnings is a terrible downgrade from that of Star Fox 2. Ninten has ****ing magic wand artefacts.

I think that rebooting a widely disliked property (like Bubsy) is a good idea, but it shouldn't be some self-depricating meta-narriative, it should be aimed at the earnest fans of that franchise, as few as there may be, and try to convert over deniers in the process, not the other way around
I'm starting to say "Jimmy Neutron" and "James Isaac Neutron" as a verbal tic and I am relatively worried about how this will effect my, Jimmy Neutron, life going forwards.
is it robotrek or is it slapstick MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY SIIVER (CAPITAL i) SURFER
I like how the new Mario Strikers tones down the cyberpunk edge a little, but keeps the trademark high-tech imagery; sassy characters; and sporting violence. My only complaint is that I really dislike pipes and brick blocks being in the stage backgrounds.
"This Japanese Amazon review for Curious George hits hard" is not something I expected to say... ever.
seriously though, seemingly simple things like this or a "thanks to my family for believing in me" note in a game's credits can often get to me emotionally way harder than a Shakespearian tragedy or bittersweet Pixar ending
Damn, Japanese Wikipedia is so far back on it's DK lore that it thinks Donkey Kong Country and La Planète de Donkey Kong are the same show
Translation: "Donkey Kong Country" (original title / French: La Planète de Donkey Kong; English: Donkey Kong Country; German: Donkey Kongs Abenteuer) is a TV animation based on Nintendo's video game "Donkey Kong Country" series.
I love how pink gold is such an obscure alloy (it doesn't even have a Wikipedia page) that most Mario fans thought "Pink Gold Peach" was just an elaborate wordmash character name like "Dr. Fire Mario" after it.
Felt like sharing the gameplay concept I made for the PBS Kids creation thread here - I tried to crank "easy to pick up, hard to master" to its most extreme conclusion and I'm really proud of it.
The punchline barely qualifies as a punchline, and was spoiled in the title, yet I still laughed.
i just joked about im meen on the smash infinite thread and now im starting to realise i could make a legitimate argument for meen being heavily associated with nintendos characters thanks to ytp and therefore arguably more in line with the original, and oft held by older fans, vision of smash as nintendo all stars than the majority of ultimates characters
This is the most terrifying thing I've ever read
"us government can you give me funding?"
"for space research?"
"yesssss"
actually tortures endangered lemurs by injecting the cloned brain of a ms pac man world record holder into their dna like a boss
It's kinda interesting how Battle for Bikini Bottom has basically the exact same story of nostalgic rebirth as DuckTales NES - just that one company was (relatively) smart and are using it to kickstart a sort of gaming renaissance, while the other...
The G-Rated versions of Brentalfloss' old "with lyrics" videos are so much better than the originals. Censorship makes you WORK for your rhyme with "Duck Hunt".
I was looking at all the NSO box arts to rate them, and I checked Google to see if Blaster Master's claim of "authentic
arcade action" was true and I made the most horrific noise upon finding out Blaster Master didn't even have an arcade release.
Nintendo looking up "top 10 worst box art" listicles to decide what games to put on Nintendo Switch Online
I really hate how people call stuff like episodic/floating-continuity TV and linear video games "outdated". They're different artistic forms, one is not a replacement for the other.
how does the new kirby cat villain digest food
Honestly, yeah, I am kinda starting to wonder if the timing of Nintendo Directs and controversial moves by Nintendo isn't coincidental.
I keep getting this ad that opens with the line "flavour needs sugar is just a big lie to make you a sugar junkie" and I feel like I could be here all day pointing out the grammatical errors of it.
While it was and still is one of the biggest sources of confusion around NASB, I think going for a competitive game was a really smart move - Nick are famous for making cartoons that appeal to both kids and adults alike, why not make a game that's both silly enough for kids to laugh with and complex enough for teens and adults to dig their teeth into?
I think NASB's approach would be more appreciated by casual players if the game launched with items - it was never meant to be some super serious no-casuals-allowed afair, it was supposed to be a silly kids game with hidden depth under the hood for competitive players to dig into - more Crash Team Racing than Street Fighter - but a rushed release date caused a lot of casual content to get the cut.
I'm a die-hard Crash fan but honestly I don't really care for having him in Smash. I only really rallied behind him because he and Waluigi were the only characters I liked who had a remote possibility of making the DLC.
Speaking of animatronics, if FNaF was in a fighting game, I think it'd be pretty cool to have Freddy as a fighter who represents the idea of the animatronics as fun kid mascots; and alongside him Springtrap to represent the main horror element of FNaF - like, Springtrap bites and tears; Freddy throws pizza and blows up balloons.
The metaverse animatronics ad is funny to me because, like...
if a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic was put in a local pawn shop, people would be fighting tooth and nail for it - there'd probably be a collector who travels on a god damn aeroplane just to get to that pawn shop - uh, rawn shop - it would not be bought for the sole purpose of advertising local mini-golf.
Sure, you could argue "Questy's" is a cheap off-brand chain nobody cares about, but the fact somebody built an entire, fully accurate Questy's in VR tells me either A. if this is a fan project, Questy's fans in this universe are just as devoted as Showbiz Pizza fans in our world, or B. if this is official, Questy's is popular enough to monetarily justify an official Questy's VR experience, in which case die-hard Questy's/Cometeers fans and/or historians almost certainly exist.
"Hey, Sanrio execs, we want to raise awareness for children with cancer - do you think you could help us by making an image of Hello Kitty shaved bald?"
"OK, can do, but we don't want our characters being seen bald"
"Wait, but then that defeats-"
"We do not want our characters being seen bald."
"Fine."
donkey kong looks so ashamed of being in the nelvana book
I misread this as "McDonald's files trademark for the metaverse" and legit thought McDonald's was doing the world's most heroic patent troll.
I still think the MK8D DLC looks better than base game visually. Let cartoony games be cartoony again, without over-done bloom or hyperrealistic textures.
I feel the only extra Mii class that's really needed is Mii Athlete/Sportsman. "Mii Mage" strikes me more as an aesthetic than a playstyle.
I feel creation threads have kinda taken on the same accidentally-different-from-intended life platform fighters themselves have, just in reverse.
Smash was designed to be a wacky party game but ended up being deeper, leading people working on similar games to want to make more competitve experiences; while Smash Infinite was meant to be (or at the very least comes off as) a forum game about making big fan wishes come true and realistically predicting the Smash team's next move, but people were more interested in adding their own personal touch and thus all creation threads afterwards have embraced bias and absurdity over wish-fulfillment.
I heavily disagree with the criticism of NASB movesets being "references for the sake of references", but even then Toph's up light is kinda weird and feels needlessly wacky for this specific character.
New Mario Smash fighter job! Yoshi and Wario newcomers
SmashBoards has created: Super Mario Smash Bros!
Arcade Mode: You will battle a string of fighters, each on a "home stage" of sorts (Peach on Peach's Birthday Cake, K. Rool on Gangplank Galleon, etc). A minigame will play halfway through, and the final match will be against a character-specific Rival (every character is paired with a rival)...

It's funny how EarthBound is infamous for having a bad marketing campaign, but nowadays is the only retro game Nintendo does any substantial advertising for - and arguably better marketed than a lot of their recent releases. IIRC the Wii U release was promoted in cinema trailers.
So "carbon neutral" doesn't actually mean eco-friendly, just that a lot of profits from something goes to environment efforts and charities, right?
I think my favourite Dunkey quote is either "the game is cancelled!" "yaaaaay!" or "here's a grame from Infogrames"
They better get Hard Times in Sonic 2.
We did it boys, Sonic in Smash 64 -
