Smash fans really have a thing for terminology that is just... objectively incorrect. "deconfirmed", "shoto", "Smash 4", "Nintendo of Japan", "Deluxe Mii Costume", "fourth party"... there's probably plenty more examples of this - and that's excluding the cute competitive stuff I don't take an issue with like "Randall" (silly in-joke) or "Shine" (it isn't used to reflect, so what else do you call it?)

I'm watching Saltydkdan's Imagine Fashion Designer stream highlights, and every time he's doing the makeup I get so annoyed that he doesn't think to give them Ninja Turtle noses.

I probably have extreme bias here since I'm near-exactly part of this very demographic, but I feel Ultimate did such a good job of pleasing casual and third party fans that the next Smash shouldn't try to one-up Ultimate but rather appeal to the two smaller demographics not pleased by SSBU: competitive players and retro/obscure Nintendo fans.

god ****ing damnit the disney plus ad on youtube made me lose my vow to not know what "we dont talk about bruno" sounds like until it becomes unpopular

I feel a lot of people, especially a teen audience used to darker indie games like FNaF and Undertale, over-fixated on the morbid aspects of Cuphead and convinced themselves it was a bigger part of the game's identity than it actually is - which is fine on it's own, I think it's super cool how fan works can transform their source material - and as such a lot of people had the wrong expectations going into The Cuphead Show.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 20, 2022

I'm watching the Cuphead Show - so far I like it, it's not exactly the devoted period piece work of high art the game is, but more just "old-timey SpongeBob with more chase/fight scenes" which is really all I expected. Only gripe is too many fire drill sound effects - it gets near to Johnny Test whipcrack levels at times.

I had the Cartoon Network Racing game on DS as a kid - it was... mediocre... not bad but barely good, however one thing about it that was really cool was that it came with episodes of the shows on-cartridge as unlockables, which is rad on it's own, but it was also a game that - much like the modern Nicktoons games - had a case of the nostalgias, (Every show in it (bar the opening CN Interactive logo) had already ended, with the most recent ending being Powerpuff Girls the year prior) so - wether this was the intention or otherwise - kids could get a basic understanding of the characters they're playing as thanks to those bundled episodes. I'd love to see something like that in a higher budget NASB sequel (though I get a feeling some of the earlier 90s stuff would bump up the rating a little, heh)

The way

YoshiandToad introduces submissions for voting in his creation thread is so charming and I'd love to do something similar for the Mario Smash thread if I wasn't so worried that my biases would result in me presenting certain submissions in an unflattering light.

Forewarning: If you were disappointed by NASB, you will probably also be disappointed by Multiversus. A lot of the seemingly obvious features Smash has (items, final smashes, assist trophies, 50+ character rosters, flashy explosion moves, elaborate animated trailers) just kinda aren't things platform fighters outside of Smash do with rare exceptions.

disney buying fox means disney owns scientifically accurate sonic the hedgehog

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 20, 2022

I think the base design of Bored Apes is actually quite cute in a twisted way, like a 90s cartoon character, but once you add the laser eyes; beards; tears; Google Noogler caps; half-eaten pizzas; and the fact they're NFTs they lose all of that appeal.

CryptoPunks and Lazy Lions however? Those are... the bad kind of ugly... the Seth MacFarlane type.

Hoo boy, I am really worried that Rambi's gonna be disconfirmed by the current Mario Smash job.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 20, 2022

I want to go to a parallel universe where transportation vehicles aren't a thing, show people Cars, and watch their faces of mild unease as they watch strangely shaped metalic quadrupeds roll their rubbery, gear-like legs upon a landscape paved by dried bitumen, rendered in state-of-the-art Pixar CGI. I want to see how they react to McQueen going inside Mack without knowing what a truck does.

I don't really like the idea of Paper Mario himself in Mario Kart, I think it'd look kinda off and it'd be better to rep Paper Mario by "canonising" one of it's original characters. (Probably Vivian given she's the most popular party member by a landslide)

If I was rebooting Pac-Man, here's what I'd do: (mostly world and character based)

Namco Arcade shared universe, later Namco titles (like Tales of and Tekken) exist as in-universe fictional franchises.
Worlds would be themed on those games - so instead of a "mansion world", it's a Mappy world; "sky world", Valkyrie world; underground, Dig Dug; space, Galaga; kingdom; King & Balloon, so on.
No elements from Mr. Driller (other than the "Taizo Hori" name) exist in the Dig Dug content.
Pac-Man is older than he was in the PMW games, but not by much - in his 40s about
The Pac-Family would all be playable - Mr., Ms., Jr., Baby, and Professor - plus Jr's innocent sweetheart Yum-Yum
Game would be side-on 3D platformers like PMW1, but stage ends would function like Yoshi's Story where you have to obtain a certain amount of collectables.
The Ghosts aren't villains, just Pac's friendly rivals who would have their own variation on the story, with the 4 main ghosts as well as new versions of Sue and Orson (piloting Toc-Man) being playable in the same way as Pac's family, Yum-Yum and Orson both have the animations of the opposite stories' characters. Those stories would collide in bonus rounds done in a classic Pac-Man style
The villain of the game is Kamuz from Legend of Valkyrie, who has a bit of a Disney renaissance villain-esque portrayal both in threat and flamboyance, but Goro and the Mewkies from Mappy are side comic relief villains.
Pac-Man would have two powered up forms: Super Pac-Man which lets him eat spectral enemies, and his Jekyl-form, Pac-Devil, who lets him eat both spectral and organic enemies.
The Ghost story would likely have a different rule for clearing stages, but I'm not sure what.
Pinky is a boy again - instead of being cute/flirtatious, he is hyperactive to represent his real name of "Speedy"
The ghosts' "naked" forms appear again as a replacement for their eye forms, but are recoloured to yellow so they look less like penith
Jr. and Yum-Yum's equivalent to kissing on the cheek is nibbling on each other's cheeks - yes, I know you think that sounds gross but I find it cute so I'm going with it.
The game would play into a vintage aesthetic, but not OutRun or Memphis like most recent Pac-Man media uses - instead it would use a funky swirly 70s aesthetic and soundtrack (I know Namco arcade games are mostly associated with ragtime music, but I'd really want to use this sort of aesthetic and I feel the music needs to match)

If they were to reboot Nicktoons Unite, I like the idea of the Avatar characters being present throughout all of the plot as idolised, wise-mentor-like figures to the goofier and less-adventure-ready slice-of-life characters, but not being unlocked as playable until near the end when stakes are at their highest. Mostly because the idea of Korra choosing Garfield as her successor is way funnier than the already funny idea of Garfield beating Korra in a fight.

why do people find "sega dreamcast from star wars" so funny

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 19, 2022

I kinda feel Smash's music and stage rosters have the same imbalance problems as the fighters - in terms of music there is nowhere near enough genre variety for such a big songlist, with the lack of metal songs outside of Xenoblade being the most egregious example, and (although I'm not critcising this specific point) a surprisingly large amount of flamenco songs; while with stages there are beyond too many "grassy level 1 plains" stages, and nowhere near enough villain, sand, technology, or snow themed levels.

The best crossovers are ones that aren't advertised, happen in the middle or near the end of the game/movie/show and aren't even acknowledged as being characters from a different world.

Looking at you, Starfy Wario cameo. You too, ROB in MKDS.

I feel that if you look at Nintendo's IPs from the financial side instead of the "what die-hard fans want" side the most glaring series absence on Switch isn't F-Zero or Mother, but rather Nintendogs

remember when the entire donkey kong fandom was extremely hyped over decades old stock art being used in a calendar

or when the waluigi fandom was extremely hyped over a poster website misnaming a poster

man, speculation is funny to look back on - we're all gullable at the end of the day.

Oh god, Little Z put out a video making fun of fangames made by little kids.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

I feel that if NASB got a sequel, Odie would be all but a lock, but he has absolutely no chance of making it to the DLC.

The juxtaposition of cute characters with horror was invented by toy manufacturers so they could sell their old stock of teddy bears without raised eyebrows who say "I love you!" instead of "jeez louise, don't be a buzzkill!"

Not true, obviously.

I've been seeing a lot of talk (two videos, more specifically) on YouTube about the romantic dynamic in Chowder lately, and honestly while I disagree with the analysises and criticisms people throw around of the show in this context, that does remind me of how as a kid I was really disappointed that Chowder ended up with Panini in the finale.
