"Hmm, this game is low profile; really old; and has a weird concept, I wonder how much it'd cost to get the license to make a new-goddammit it's owned by the Godzilla guys" - me, 5 minutes ago, researching 'Mecarobot Golf'

The environments in Sonic Frontiers look really bad - not in the sense of "bad Sonic environments" or "realistic games = bad", but moreso just bad. The "real world" is too barren and the cyberspace levels are too cluttered. I'm 99.9% sure it's an intentional juxtaposition but that still doesn't excuse looking hideous IMO. I can appreciate the environments of games like 06 and Shadow despite not thinking they suit a rubberhose-inspired furry with a monoeye, but these wouldn't work even with a character design suited for them.

I've finally played Fractured Furry Tales, and TBH people seriously exaggerate how bad it is - it's not good by any means, but it's also one of the stronger Bubsy offerings. Bubsy controls better in it than CEOTFK, but out-of-nowhere enemies are a bigger problem than in it too. Though, if Bubsy was slower, like a Mega Man X sort of heavy feel, possibly with a projectile or some other attack that isn't his standard bop, I would be willing to call it a good or at least decent game - the game's level layouts seem well fit for that sort of physics.

VB Wario Land is so good that IMO it alone gives the Virtual Boy a better game library than the N64 and GBC.

The dark and edgy tone of Sparks of Hope REALLY puts me off. I'm sure it's a great game but I can't look past the damn neon-haired sword Rabbid and tragic Rabbid backstories.

I feel like a NASB "story mode" should be structured like Slap City's - basically Melee adventure, but every character has their own route and dialogue, you can save, and the mode teaches you their mechanics.

I like how this Smash Bros. website is the only place where you can call Smash Bros. a dumpster fire of a game series and not get crucified.

90s cartoon writers, vegans, film casting agencies, and bodybuilders fighting over who can be more fatphobic

Pirahna Plant is a great regular character pick, but a horrible substitute for a "special surprise character".

oh my god is sakurai actually defending $60 price tags

"Nostalgia pandering is so stupid! Make something original!"
Brother in Christ you just called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate the "objective greatest game of all time"

Imagine how epic it'd be if Chuck E. Cheese and FNaF joined Drifting Dimensions at the same time

Also, funnily enough, I was planning Chuck E. as my submission for the "solo wheels" job

deepest voice in human history AMAZON MUSIC ONE TAKE FEATURING FORTNITE

If Sylvester and Tweety were in Multiversus, I feel they should be more hit & run fighters than the zoners Tom & Jerry are - with the player being able to make Tweety fly away from Sylvester, and then have Sylvester track him down either when he is cornered or a foe is zoning around Tweety as a teleport-style move.

Game journalism websites will publish opinion pieces titled "How white supremacy paved the roots for gaming tribalism" then immediately publish an article titled "INFERIOR MARIO TENNIS IMPOSTER SHREK BADMINTON PLAYER COUNT DWINDLES TO 20 IN A MONTH"

I wonder what it's like to be someone used to GameFAQs/Smash Twitter/any popular Smash discord or subreddit/e.t.c. and visit Smashboards to immediately be greeted by me posting about how Smash should reveal every character in the span of 7 seconds or Smash 64 was the only Smash game with a good aesthetic. There's definetly a wider overton window here than any other Smash community I know of.

Smash gives every single individual character the marketing budget of a blockbuster movie and people somehow can't figure out why fans get extremely mad over specific choices.

(Yes, I am aware that vehemont Smash roster discourse dates back to Brawl - that's my point really, that they made no attempt to quell such discourse when it began to pop up, not that they didn't magically predict such discourse would exist)

I wish I came up with the pun "Agri Video Game Nerd" when the Nintendo Direct farming meme went around.

Jake Kaufman's pre-Shovel Knight gamography reads like a mid-2010s era "Bee Shrek Test in the House" meme

just found out colgate lasagna was a (likely) hoax so i edited real teeth onto garfield for nothing

While I don't want either, I'd much prefer a Chip N' Dale-esque "hey look, Mario just said damn and beat up Cloud!" Smash movie over one that takes itself even 10% as seriously as SSE did.

I'm honestly not all too comfortable with one of Batman's tracks in DriDim being a mental hospital, but it is an iconic locale and the track that was voted in, so I guess I should respect that.

i have been clickbaited

So, apparently SSBU's offline input delay is partially due to the lighting system?

Great, more reasons to hate the desaturated look.

Gamers calling Pitfall and Space Invaders "Atari games", Final Fantasy 7 and Crash Bandicoot "Sony games", and Banjo-Kazooie and Mega Man "Nintendo games".

Gamers when grandma calls the Xbox "a Game Boy".

I don't get why people see "making a platform fighter better than Smash" as some unthinkable Hurculean trial, even from a casual "characters are characters" perspective.

Just got 5 blue jays, 6 jackdaws, 3 ravens, 2 magpies, 2 rooks, and a single chough.

(I'll be fine though, I've had worse common colds.)

Of all my arguments for Microsoft buying Rare being a net positive over a Nintendo buyout - Nintendo's unfamiliarity with online being ill fit with SoT and KI, the possibility of a DK/Banjo-game-making sweatshop, Rare Replay vs. 3D All-Stars, Tropical Freeze not existing. NoJ's disinterest in Conker, so on - I think the most effective one is be that we would've gotten Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers and the gigachad known as Mr. Pants would've remained a phased-out website mascot.

thinking about when kids wb made a cute "pikachu friendship playlist!" to promote detective pikachu and opened it with ryan reynolds' wacky comedy skit about neglecting his family as method acting

I had a dream where I was invited to a United Nations Discord server between all the world leaders, and Joe Biden was spaming this GIF in the #memes channel to piss off Ankhundzada.

I've always felt the perfect genre for an Xbox crossover game would be a vehicular combat game a la Twisted Metal/Vigilante 8/Cel Damage. It's a genre that's a little silly but also testosterone-pumped and intense, so it'd well accomidate both the Master Chief/Doomguy types and the Crash Bandicoot/Clippy types.

The only valid Pokémon to replace Jigglypuff with in fanmade Nintendo-based Smash rosters is Igglybuff.

I actually think I'd prefer a new PSASBR to have no third parties - not even Crash.
