I have never been as equally "I love this" and "I hate this" about a game than I have about Mouse, On one hand, I think "evil Mickey" is really overdone and IMO they should've gone for either a different species or a different style of drawing mouse ears; and I'm just not really an FPS guy unless it's on-rails - but on the other hand, the combination of 30s cartoon styles and 30s gangster stories is absolutely perfect; 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds always hits well for me; and it's great to see more 100% black & white games out there - I especially like how they didn't pull a Madworld and make the blood red. (not that Madworld looks bad or anything, just that red blood would look out of place in this specific game)

I watched a video essay about the Wiggles a while back, and assumed it was satire because of the melodramatic tone of voice the videomaker had... now, I've watched the Defunctland Wiggles video and I realise that they were 100% correct.

The Gimmick NES port has the corny Scandinavian art as a selectable border. EOTY (emulation of the year) material for that alone.

Saying this as a noob so I'm probably completely wrong here, but I'm surprised Mike is the one people find OP in Speedstorm and not Belle - Mike's doors are easy to avoid, but Belle has an extremely fast boost charge, and gets double boosts basically every other box

Tim Curry still does voice work, there's still time to hire him as Waluigi. Please.

I dislike when people make fanmade "Captain N reboots" but then have the characters act and look as close to the source material as possible. Like, hell no, at that point it just isn't Captain N anymore, just a Smash story mode.

Speedstorm is fun. No CTR, but what is? Monetization is rather intrusive and unfortunately features lootboxes instead of just purchasing characters - I have a feeling I'll be stuck with just Mickey, Donald, and Baloo for a while - but I do like that they let you trial other characters every now and then. The whole "epic gamer" aesthetic gels a lot better with me than I expected. The promo art and short trailer snippets don't do the tracks themselves justice, they're a lot more true to their source material than you'd think. Weirdly, the game rewards you more for single player story mode than online play?

I feel like you can make virtually any prospective Smash character seem unappealing by describing them as a list of partially-correct adjectives preceded by "generic" and followed by "guy".

"You really want a generic spinny blue rat guy?"
"You really want a generic giant angry monkey guy?"
"You really want a generic pointy-eared elf sword guy?"
"You really want a generic green space gun guy?"

I'm sorry about the mega-

"stop having fun!" vibes I'm about to unleash, but I always get annoyed by "what superpower would you choose IRL?" discussions because nobody actually considers what power is the most practical.

I genuinely could not imagine anything more useless than a real life Kamehameha.

the backstory of disney speedstorm is that an out-of-operation arcade game became self-aware, saw mulan on tv, and simped for her so hard that it somehow repaired itself

Just purchased the Disney Speedstorm "founders' pack" (I don't get that name? I'm not founding the game? If I was, it'd have way more Goofy Movie, Wonderland, and Great Mouse Detective) - not sure if I'll regret this or not.

I'm kinda interested in Speedstorm. Probably gonna wait for the F2P launch though.

While I do think he should sit it out until Smash gets a 2600 rep, I honestly do believe there's a better argument to be made for Bubsy in Smash than most other 3rd party platformer characters (including a certain duo who are already in the game). I'm also kinda curious what the response would be to his inclusion - this is a series it seems nobody wants to properly engage with or learn about the history of beyond potshots and memes, (which TBF also applies to Atari 2600 games) and is prime fodder for Smash fans to label a "meme pick".

That "Sonic 5" leak feels maliciously engineered to cause as much discourse as possible.

Wario Wario Wario · May 5, 2023

I remember that when the Kamp Koral characters were revealed for Nick Kart 3, the NASB thread was really angry about it, and started making allegations of Nick putting them in just to promote the new show (which is apparently a bad thing now? I thought new shows getting advertised was what the Nick fandom wanted), and I mentioned that it's possible (not even likely) that someone on the team liked the show - and they said "well, that can't be true because I watched the show and it sucked!"

They seriously thought that someone liking a TV show was an unrealistic scenario.

Nuts & Bolts sucks! 90s Rare would've never made a sequel to a decade old game that redesigns the characters, changes the genre, introduces marque value gimmicks, and has meta-humour at the expense of the old gam- oh.
