I actually really appreciate the new Kirby game being a rather blatant Fall Guys clone, IMO Nintendo's constant pursuit of originality has often held their game libraries back.

Smash fans when the Leisure Suit Larry DLC doesn't require you to correctly identify the corporate sponsors of I Love Lucy circa 1956 and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Scott Lucas' middle name every time you select him on the CSS
Glad Nintendo are back to shadowdropping games. Hope that becomes the standard and not directs. Not gonna happen of course, but still
i tried to read the original rover boys books the dover boys was based on to see if theres any references in the short that have been lost to the sands of time and oh my god its boring
wikipedia for the game boy advance
I love how in the Smash Infinite universe, one of the fighters in Smash is an insane suburban man who wears a pot on his head while fighting zombies from a game made by a company that used to be called "Sexy Action Cool"
Granny! I got the job!
I love the old YouTube Poop "cliche" sources because there's like... a consistency to them, but also a randomness to them if that makes sense? Kitschy low-budget kids' media, usually edutainment or video game tie ins, are the usual digestion, but they're also intersperced like little peanuts with bottled water commercials; beloved but pre-vulgarised adult cartoons; and legitimately talented poets. Some of them are really obvious and recognisably nostalgic, others are really obscure and were only discovered out of loose relations to an existing more popular source, and a lot of material you'd expect to be seen as a goldmine (for example: the DKC cartoon; the Mortal Kombat cartoon; the live action Mario movie; English version Ronald McDonald adverts; Captain N; the already memetic Filmation catalog) are completely glossed over - some sources were literally just used for one scene! You'd see a whole lot of "Stu making pudding" but not much else from Rugrats for example.
Sometimes I feel American pop culture and British pop culture have become completely intertwined - then I find out some utterly incomprehensible fact like "Americans don't know who the Mr. Men are" or "Americans think Rareware are a British national treasure" and I sigh in relief.
I love the brazenness of Teen Titans Go! literally naming an episode "Video Game References"
There are many reasons, mostly very sad, I feel my childhood was unfulfilling - however, one I'm more comfortable to share is that I didn't know what updog or ICUP were until I discovered them through hyper ironic memes in my late teens.
I was thinking of doing an alternate Smash roster from a world where sides over protags were a thing since the first game.
YOOO WHEN DID THEY RELEASE MONTY ON THE RUN ON STEAM
I kinda want a Bejeweled jewel in Smash just because it's the only major gaming franchise from outside the microcomputer era with Amiga-style music.
So many articles about "Gentleminions" causing havoc, and not a single one has a headline starting with "Despicable Memes:"?
Honestly, I've kinda been growing to hate the idea of Crash in Smash - his moveset would likely be based on Crash 3, where his moves don't even make a consistent playstyle there; COD or Warcraft objectively deserve the spot way more; people will use him to dismiss the concept of true Sony reps like they have with Sora and Joker; and his comedy would be toned down super hard if Banjo's anything to go by.
Nabbit deserved the push Rosalina got in the 2010s more.
NASB's Space Madness stage is literally near-unplayable with items on high.
I'm really surprised that, from what I can find, nobody has made a composite Pokémon mod that combines content and elements from both versions.
It will always make me laugh when an amoger's visor is portrayed as a single eye with a pupil.

Why did nobody tell me how good the Bejeweled classic soundtrack is?
Reminder that the toxicity in Smash speculation is 100% Sakurai and Nintendo's fault for building up character additions as a bigger deal than they are.
Is it weird for me to say that I never realised people liked Smash specifically for the crossover element and not the gameplay or movesets until the NASB backlash? Like I always knew characters were a big deal, but I never realised how small a deal game design is to people relative to characters and how they're portrayed
Certainly explains the questionable design choices in SSBU's DLC at least.
I actually really like the, for a lack of a fair and objective term, "finish it later" approach - feels to me like a natural evolution to unlockables for the age of spoilers and leaks, even if that isn't the intent BTS.
I generally think protag first is a good rule for games where characters are cosmetic, with the only real exceptions being to prevent aesthetic clash (for example Riki over Shulk in a hypothetical Nintendo Kart)
That being said, while both would appreciated, if they can only have one Thornberrys rep in Nick Kart 3, it should be Nigel and not Eliza - he's by far way more remembered and popular, and to a much bigger extent than the usual "more popular side character" dynamic.
Objectively I feel streaming is superior to TV in almost every way, but god I do kinda wish there was still that grab bag of turning on the TV without checking the schedule.
I don't like the implications of this

Sad that Jojo Siwa most likely won't be returning for Nick Kart 3, I was looking forwards to driving in her iconic car
I was looking up "sports" to make a snappy reply to the COH status below, but for some reason Google won't let you look up "sports" like a normal Google search.
The editing on the first part of this video (before it becomes an AMV) is weirdly ominous
We are submitting a Mario & Luigi stage, and a modern Paper Mario stage!
SmashBoards has created: Super Mario Smash Bros!
I'd imagine that these two would be less like the Ice Climbers and act as a single unit. If one gal is launched, she'll grab the other to force her along for the ride. Also for gown designs (if that alt is added, anyway), I imagine they'd look fairly raggedy. The two beat each other enough that...

This song does not fit the context it's made for whatsoever (a title screen where [REDACTED] stands outside her house on a sunny day, looks at birds, and occasionally performs tricks) - but it's the exact type of music I'd imagine to fit the experience of being trapped in IP ownership hell.
Felt like making a custom NASB menu/CSS background - specifically for Corniel and Bernie, two characters who's show (Watch My Chops! AKA Corniel and Bernie) aired as an import show on the American Nicktoons network in the 2000s, but were a pretty big deal here in the UK where they aired on CBBC at prime after-school hours. I went with them partially because of how specific they are to the UK while also having Nick ties, but also because their show's aesthetic is REALLY cool.
