Continuing off my post a while ago about the NES, Genesis, and PS1 having very distinct early eras, I think they each have a few games each that can be considered where the early eras end because of how influential they were for it's future games: Super Mario Bros and Ghosts n Goblins for the NES, Sonic for the Genesis, and Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and FF7 for the PS1.

Why is Vivi so heavily requested for Smash? I like him but he's kinda just a random party member in FF9 which is a cult classic but one of the lesser influential and well selling titles.

I genuinely think a lot of it might come from people who aren't that familiar with Final Fantasy and assume Vivi is the name of the black mage in FF1 because I've seen a lot of people say "Black Mage/Vivi should be in Smash!"

I doubt anyone would be able to guess what my pfp is supposed to be even if they knew what it was from but I feel like being gatekeep-y so if you want it, now you just have to find it

I finally bought stranger of paradise final fantasy origin and holy **** guys it doesn’t have the ****ty “black text on a white background” every other square enix game on PS4 has

I like the name “Anaheim” because it’s funny that there’s just a place in California that sounds like a Norse realm

The PS1 focused so much on 3D graphics and neglected 2D games that it just ended up looking kind of embarrassing for it when an arcade fighting game or SNES RPG runs so terribly on it

I really like it when a character from a piece of media considered bad comes back as a cameo and actually gets respect from the narrative instead of just being treated like a joke. Bonus points if they can actually continue their character arc.

I guess Deadpool and Wolverine kinda counts as this even though most of the cameos die and they do get hit with that Deadpool humour a lot.

Before I actually knew what the roster was I assumed Samsho 2019 had more The Last Blade characters in it

I don’t think it’s healthy for me that every time I go on Twitter or Instagram I find at least three of the most insane people I’ve ever seen

I’m replaying shadow of the colossus on PS2 and it’s made me resentful to the Bluepoint remake. It’s a beautiful remake but something about the visual style (like the lack of overly bright saturation which I find was the biggest complaint) makes it so that I no longer get an impression the world is a barren land at the edge of the world. It just feels like… a normal place that happens to not have anyone but colossi in it.

My first (non news related) article for this site is now up!

The Dragon of Smash Bros: A Yakuza x Super Smash Bros Analysis

Welcome, kyodais! The DLC cycle and general “hype cycle” around Super Smash Bros. Ultimate might be over by now. However, with Nintendo’s next console on the horizon there’s a good chance the next Smash game might follow. So, I want to analyze a series that could be in a future Smash game...

I bought a Sega Genesis. No games for it yet but I swear I need to own Streets of Rage 2 on this.

Champion of Hyrule · Jul 30, 2024

The NES, Sega Genesis and PS1 are the consoles with the most interesting beginning years to me, just because they were so distinct from everything else associated with the console and mostly relied on arcade ports

You know… I actually don’t like the chrono trigger side quests that much

Champion of Hyrule · Jul 29, 2024

It’s so funny when a very popular A-lister is in a more dramatic performance than you’re used to seeing them in and you realize “damn. this guy is actually a good actor”

Champion of Hyrule · Jul 29, 2024

Watched Deadpool and wolverine

I heard people complaining about the “he’s right behind me isn’t he?” but Deadpool says “welcome to the mcu” right after so you know I’m going to assume it’s a joke

Champion of Hyrule · Jul 29, 2024

I wonder if someone could make a full list of fictional characters that have been agnowledged by world leaders while they were in office. It would probably be very long.

Sorry republicans, the coconut thing is funnier than the diet Mountain Dew thing

If there’s a public domain fighting game I think the roster should lean more into “these are the coolest characters I like that are in public domain” rather than “here’s the biggest and most influential characters in public domain”

I love when the "spongebob fish looking into a toilet" meme is something incomprehensible or incorrect and is said 100% genuinely. Like, I saw one that said "oh. that's multiversus using AI to track your IP address" as if that means... anything, much less anything concerning.

I knew he worked for Camelot Software but I didn't realize Motoi Sakuraba did the music of Mario Golf and Tennis.

thats the composer of dark souls

I’m really curious if James Bond on Gameboy will be ported to switch. It was actually published by Nintendo in the past.

I feel like I have to remind people of this now

I thought hamburger steaks were something more than just a burger patty you’re expected to eat. I now feel like a child for eating one.

The crossover between dragon ball and one piece was an actual episode of the one piece anime so therefore if someone acts like an anime only event is canon, by their logic Goku has to be canon as well.

i just noticed they put sonichu in the new weird al song

I'm not going to call "this the Gameboy port of Cannon Fodder'. This game is "Cannon Fodder: war has never been so much fun"

Never seen it but I feel like every once and a while my adventures with superman has a really weirdly awful character redesign

I have posted this two times already. I will post it again in honour of Vice and Mature in KoF 15. You can't stop me.

Obviously I know the whole thing with Michael Jackson composing for Sonic 3 but I never found out the composer for Sonic 1 and 2 is a famous musician as well in Japan.

man the influence of city pop on video game soundtracks really can never be overstated

Chrono Trigger’s so good that when I’m literally in the middle of playing Chrono Trigger I think “damn I should replay Chrono Trigger”

Champion of Hyrule · Jul 24, 2024

I know this is the dumbest debate ever but retro has always been used in fashion and architecture (where the term originated) to describe a style rather than just “stuff that’s from the past” so I don’t get why the same doesn’t apply to video games

Champion of Hyrule · Jul 24, 2024

It sucks that Sony isn't making more unique stuff anymore but the cinematic style is perfect for the types of games they're trying to make and I feel like the people saying it literally just sucks maybe haven't played any of them.

Champion of Hyrule · Jul 24, 2024

I keep getting Coca Cola bottles because of the cool marvel character designs. I keep not throwing them away because the design is cool. I’ve inadvertently become the type of guy to collect marvel Coca Cola bottles. I am not a fan of this.

I had a dream there was a new Nintendo product that literally just mashed up two words you enter into one word. It was smart about it though, because sometimes it changes your words to something vaguely approximating them for a catchier result. The example shown in the Nintendo Direct (yes this was revealed in a direct in my dream) was entering “Edgar Allan Poe” and “Mom” to get “Mothermore.”

The real hook of the game though, was that whatever words you generate will be used by select other games on your Nintendo Switch, and I guess they just somehow implement these made up words? The specific examples were Untitled Goose Game, some Jackbox game and Game Builder Garage. Again no idea how this works.

the direct in my dream also showed sonic & all-stars 3 which directly transitioned into a reveal of a 2D isometric Mario beat em up with graphics imitating the DS and Goomba as a playable character.

I get why this but it's funny to me in a dark way that IMDB has a list of celebrities who signed the Roman Polanski petition and lists them in the way they would a movie cast with each of the actor's profiles on there. just seems very tonally inappropriate
