Maybe I'm biased because I loathe when Smash is edgy, but I heavily doubt the changes to ratings in relation to game title references will change anything about a future Smash game - they've already worked around it, and have since very shortly after Ult's launch (arguably Melee depending on your preferred explanation for Perfect Dark being called "TOP SECRET"), the only major series staple that is at risk of getting the axe (that didn't already in Ult) is... probably series symbols, and even then I doubt that.

I was gonna make a meme saying that Meteos Disney-Magic is the best Sakurai game, and didn't really care that it was just based on a game he made and he didn't actually work on it, but I scrapped it because I realised that if MDM has to be classified as a Sakurai game on virtue of being built on his foundations, Project M; Project+; Smash Remix; and HDR all count as Sakurai games.

I haven't played Meteos, I assume it's good just on virtue of Disney-Magic being a good game, but it's riddled with the Sakurai trademark edgelord cosmic horror and the DS is hard to emulate in a practical manner so I'll pass.

koji kondo is kinda mid once you put aside the emotional attachment

(my feelings on his work is actually more nuanced than that, some of his songs are all-timers - hell yeah dire dire docks - but his reputation is really overblown and i dont even think hes a top 10 in terms of "recurring mainstream nintendo franchise composers")

I don't usually like platfighters having the FD equivalent be spooky/epic, both for being derivative of Smash and being reflective of the layouts diegetic use in Smash and not its functional use in competitive Smash, BUT it makes perfect sense for London in Royalty F4A, since that's a strictly casual game and FD is the "epic final stage" in most casual play sessions. Watched the Heat Wave stream and it does look really fun for casual play, absolutely loved the two Dorothies ganging up on Lancelot, which is the exact type of shenanigans a game like this would need. Light-mid-strong attacks sounds interesting too. 100 Acre Wood looks like a hilarious stage particularly, it's just Rooftop Rumble, but the platform is astronomically high, which strikes me as something that is deceptively wacky, not unlike the Ascend Zone in Slap.

When people talk about future PD entries, I think people really ignore that in '38, Dumbo will finally be able to join his old-school Disney brothers in the proper fairy tale pantheon. I'm excited to see how people way more knowledgable than me handle the crows, without context I naively thought they were the coolest Disney characters as a kid lmao.

This might be a very nuclear take, but I think 3D platformers, while not a bad genre, have never actually been perfected mechanically, which I guess is fair since you could argue collectathons - which are considered the "default" for 3D platformers - fall somewhere in the "not about gameplay" camp, but still. Crash 4 is the closest I think there really is, but corridor platformers are kind of a niche subgenre, like Metroidvanias are to traditional 2D platformers, at least within internet discourse, and even Crash 4's play-feel does have some issues.

i remember finding out a while back that on smash twitter there's a guy who also likes rocko and uses him as a pfp a lot, but is infamous for being a die-hard conker supporter and master chief detractor, and i think that's a kinda funny coincidence.

I know COGH is old news, but I still think we don't talk enough about how SSBU (or at least its US localisation) has literal by-dictionary-definition historical revisionism in it. (that being the Tips omitting references to CD-i and PC games when they should be mentioned as the true holders of the "fun fact" titles)

Wario Wario Wario · Nov 8, 2024

I'm not trying to attribute malice or opportunism here, and I am likely biased or subconciously trying to find things to take fault in as someone who thinks this character is the only really good character choice of its series thus far, but asking for Jigglypuff to be cut in the Smash game released immediately after his VA died is not a good look.

Pretty much every Mario game released between the N64 and the really early days of the Wii has some shade of Cartoon Licensed Game Energy.

"I'm not gonna play Rivals/Slap City/whatever because all the characters are OCs I don't know"

How the hell do you even like any characters that aren't the random Disney side character printed on your baby onesie?

I find it weirdly funny that the character in the Alberquerque music video is called "Miracle Machine". Someone drew a Homestar Runner fusion of Fry Futurama and Earthworm Jim, gave him Weird Al's voice, and decided to give him a dark-biblical fantasy golem name.

thinking about the time someone did a nasb fan poll, but required participants to give away their email address, so only like 2 people did it and ickis won. (iirc it was before jimmy was added proper)

It's kinda funny how a lot of Western people think the Hanafuda illustrations were a Nintendo invention.

People were getting very excited over the promise from Illumination of "obscure characters" (read: Petey Piranha) in Mario movie 2, but I'm personally more excited to see which black/silver-box-era NES games appear on blurry photos in the background of the real world sections

Years later and I stand by it: "Scrimblo" is legitimately useful terminology. "Mascot" implies privelege that rarely exists, and "cartoony character" is far too long and argually encompases some characters who exist a little too far away in the style spectrum (would a human Disney renaissance character count as "cartoony"? They're not a scrimblo either way.)

Knowing that Hideo Kojima is a die-hard Aardman fan, I wonder if he ever played the Chicken Run MGS clone on PS1.

started work on a huge folder of disney-owned characters for a tiermaker fighter roster template, continued working on it, observed the images added yesterday, and thought "wait, why did i put the talking houses from the muppets here?"

The fact that The New Norm is like 30% AI, has 2 minute episodes, and has generally low quality human-made animation, but the episodes still came out 4 months apart really speaks to how long animation takes to make.

"wii sports is abandonware" might be the most depressing fact about gaming ever.

Wario Wario Wario · Nov 4, 2024

why does igdb/backloggd consider game & watch a seperate console from handheld lcd. that's like calling activision atari 2600 games a seperate console from other atari 2600 games or something.

oh no i'm watching the alberquerque video

i've never watched it before because the thumbnail art always looked a bit off to me, but in motion the art is quite fun, looks a bit doug tennapel-esque, just thankfully without doug tennapel. not "17 hours" fun though... well, we'll wait and see

making a "smash ultimate deluxe with 100+ newcomers but they can only use existing assets" roster and i've added 3 tingles (tingle, dark tingle, and the oc-of-an-oc light tingle)

starting to think quantity-over-quality isn't a bad idea after all.

gen 5 is probably my least favourite pokemon gen games-wise, but it also gave us litwick, meloetta, trubbish, timburr, herdier, and yamask so it is easily the most stacked gen mon-wise.
