  • One thing I don't exactly get about the whole "we can't modify Mario characters" thing is that a few of the paper partners were completely original creations with basically no ties to existing Mario characters - do you remember seeing any purple-skinned one-legged witches or Rubenesque wind ghosts in a canon Mario game? why not just create more new species?

    Or why not just have old partners return? It’s not like this would mess up any continuity or anything

    I guess that even regular original 2D characters don't cut it anymore (or they pretend that those don't exist, due to association) apart from the requisite tagalong character tied to the game's gimmick. It seems that characters that are either fully in 3D or straight-up objects get used as a loophole.

    Yes, that means we could fight crumbled-up paper balls and dust bins in the future.
    So yeah, seems I was right and they pulled a Cars 3 with Origami King, but it's still a good game from what I've heard so who cares?

    "[pull a] Cars 3"
    Using an out of context scene in promotional material to make a work of media appear darker or more suspenseful, Antonym of "[pull a] Kangaroo Jack".
    Can you imagine a world where Diddy's name is actually "Diet DK"? Imagine the Smash announcer's booming voice proclaiming "DIET DK!", imagine the colourful menus of the Mario spin-offs projecting "Diet DK" in a family-friendly, bouncy font, imagine a game called "Diet DK Racing" or "Diet's Kong Quest"
    I think the GenoStop leak is just the same case as that Nintendo of Spain (I think) representative saying Rayman would be in 3DS/Wii U when he just meant the trophy, mostly because they're speaking in past tense and not specifically about a playable fighter - plus do you REALLY expect GameStop to be in on the know about unrevealed game content, especially DIGITAL content?
    My predictions for the next direct are:
    National Dex. Want level 0, expectation level 80
    Waluigi in Smash. Want level 100, expectation level 60
    Mario remakes. Want level 50, expectation level 99.9
    New NSO emulator. Want level 90, expectation level 50
    Mario Kart 9. Want level 10, expectation level 70
    The thing about the Mario World TV show is that when you get older you understand the social commentary and references in it, but instead of explaining everything, that only makes it even more nonsensical.
    One thing I feel those who still believe in the console wars don't get is that Nintendo fans KNOW Nintendo's hardware is garbage. It is an undisputed fact. The exclusives and gimmicks are what makes Nintendo Nintendo.

    I think what he’s saying is that the hardware is legitimately just not as advanced-in terms of power and graphics and other stuff-than PC and other consoles. The Switch isn’t bad, but some people take the stance that the Switch is bad because it’s underpowered compared to other offerings-and they’re right.

    It's still not a bad console.

    We didn’t say that. We said it’s graphically-and in terms of power-inferior to other options. The Switch is a great console, Wario Wario Wario meant that those people-those who think the Switch is bad due to its low power and inferior visuals-don’t take into consideration the “exclusives and gimmicks that make Nintendo Nintendo.”
    In my final years of school, my best friend was a lot younger than me (by about 6 or 7 years I think?) and I introduced him to Smash Ultimate. He picked up the mechanics quicky and we soon got on equal footing, that being said, he was a sore loser and very spammy. I may have ignited the flames of him being a sore loser by playing as ridiculous Miis and choosing Mr. G&W every time he played as Ness.
    Is it just me or did every PS1 mascot have a REALLY rough transition to the PS2? Enter the Dragonfly, Angel of Darkness, Wrath of Cortex - the only big PS1 star I can think of who's PS2 outing can compare to the initial PS1 games is PaRappa.
    The Chicken Run 2 recasts are a right shame, but unfortunately super common in animation. I can however say with confidence it was a Netflix decision, not Aardman. I don't plan to boycott the film (my stance on boycotts has always been rather simple, "if it's a quality product, support 'em") but if they don't get Julia to reprise Ginger it'll be just the slightest bit awkward of an experience. Here's a petition you can sign, if it makes waves we could brighten the future of theatrical western voice acting. https://www.change.org/p/aardman-animations-do-not-replace-julia-sawalha-for-the-chicken-run-sequel

    Well, the Ginger recast is a shame, the Rocky recast not so much...

    Wouldn't be the first time an American company got heavily involved with an Aardman work, as the Wallace & Gromit movie deal came from Dreamworks, and they wanted to insert a bit of regional humor in that.
    Playing through Dynamite Headdy - a game I feel is somehow overlooked and overrated at the same time, it deserves way more attention as it is a quality title, but it absolutely isn't one of the best platformers of the 16 bit era as people say, even on the Japanese version. Platforming is great but bosses are pretty bad, which would be OK if it weren't for the fact a lot of this game's meat is the bosses
    Zygarde has the worst luck

    -Its instalment never came out
    -They turned it into a blob and dog
    -It's a novice class in SSBU
    -Its shiny is ugly.

    doesn't it evolve into a legend class spirit

    It's shiny is fine. Probably one of the best. And the blob thing was anime exclusive. They have no sentience in the games. And the dog actually makes some sense honestly.
    Being a Counter Throw using Mii Brawler main when Byleth was new was an absolute experience. Miis are Byleth's mortal enemy in more ways than one.

    "Gameplay for a title in a franchise new to developer WayForward" is one of the biggest word sandwiches I've ever read on official gaming press content. I'm guessing it means another indie crossover like Cadence of Hyrule. Best guess would be a Metroid game given WayForward's uh... thing for skimply dressed females.... but I'd love them to give the DuckTales Remastered treatment to Drill Dozer (as long as they don't age up Jill)
    I honestly think it'd be really cool to have a fully decloned Dr. Mario
    I wish games would still do fun stuff in their localisations instead of directly translating the text with a few localisations here and there.
    Ultimate is lacking a niche 1st party retro. Muddy Mole would be my immediate choice, but if it had to be a Black Box NES character I'd choose Bubbles or Excitebiker.

    Still low-key thinking that could be the final reveal. I find it bleeding weird how base game didn't end with one, so that might be saved for later.

    Mach Rider would be my choice.

    I've heard rumours about Lolo or Balloon Fighter as an Iwata tribute. DH was saved for last in SSB3DSWiiU so a retro as the last Ultimate DLC would be cool, if not a little disappointing for modern fans.

    My choice would definitely be Mach Rider as well with Ayumi Tachibana coming behind. While Ayumi wouldn't be a Blackbox character, she would be considered Retro though. Her game Famicom Detective Club is getting a Switch remake sometime this year or next year. It's not confirmed yet if it's just going to be Japan exclusive or if they're going to release it overseas. With that in mind, I could very low-key see Ayumi Tachibana make it in to promote the remake and be Ultimate's Retro rep.
    If you think Melee and 64 are "objectively" the only good competitive Smash games just because of increased complexity, I have no clue why you play/watch Smash instead of traditional fighters. It's OK if you prefer the HAL-era games for that reason, but you can't just act like Wii U and Ultimate are terrible competitive games just because they're slower - elitism does nothing more but breed counter-elitism.
    I am unreasonably enraged by the Spirit list calling Duck Hunt a series, but Hogan's Alley and Wild Gunman (which both also have Vs. versions) as their own games.

    by calling duck hunt a series, they were actually accidentally leaking their upcoming project, duck hunt: the sequel-dequel
    Wario Wario Wario
    Wario Wario Wario
    I mean, they did leak Mario Maker 2 that way so that wouldn't be TOO surprising...
    KirbyWorshipper2465

    I guess that the logic was "anything with major playable character gets series".

    Still doesn't explain why Wrecking Crew's labelling is so inconsistent though. Probably Bamco interns not fact-checking enough.
