  • The reason a lot of people (me included) can't take non-professional game criticism seriously (not that I can take professional game criticism seriously too...) is because of the stupid arguments people throw out. "The tree is low poly!" "the Dark Queen has no boobs!" "the game is 30FPS!" - like seriously, who in their right mind cares?
    You know, a lot of people joked about Piranha Plant and "Waluigi tears", but really most Waluigi fans were super happy about the plant. Even before the mysterious absence of Spirit promotions from the first Fighters' Pass we all thought ATs deconfirmed, so it actually felt really good to see any sort of weird lanky Mario character. That being said, given recent rumours; a certain trademark registration; and of course Min Min, it's say it's more "when" than "if" at this point - even if not for Ultimate.
    I kinda wish Sonic and Mario would cross over more. I think that having Sonic playable in Mario Kart wouldn't really ruffle many feathers, and it'd be a fun little cameo to have Mario-themed billboards in the background of a Sonic level or something small like that.
    Honestly I feel Wii U had better graphics than Ultimate. I'm a sucker for unrealistically bright hues - I loved Rehydrated's graphics for that reason.

    Quite frankly, I enjoyed it but it needed a bit more in retrospect. A pastel~oriented style, perhaps!

    If you're talking Smash 4, I found the graphics sterile and not very engaging. The vibrancy in 64 and Ultimate are the correct direction to go for Smash imo.
    The YouTube channel RecD is turning into a bitcoin scam... like, it's actually kinda scary. His channel name and icon changed, a bitcoin live stream with chat disabled is on, with a massive amount of likes out of nowhere, most of his videos disappeared... like, how did this happen?

    It's a scam affecting multiple channels that disguises itself as a sponsorship deal. It happened to Vernias three weeks ago.

    I remember something about that.
    I love the fact Melee builds up Mr. Game and Watch as this legendary god among men. Like:

    Final unlock
    Final battle in All-Star Mode, with multiple clones joining him
    Trophies brag about copies sold, call him "a man of great stature" and states "his image is known far and wide, and respected by gamers everywhere"
    Neither All-Star mode, All-Star trophies, nor his congratulation screen use his alt costumes, as if his image is that of some sacred religious figure
    I get it, diversity is awesome - but can we PLEASE stop spreading this "Star Fox 2 human pilot is black" misconception? https://www.reddit.com/r/starfox/comments/ctdeoy/so_apparently_a_human_female_and_an_unknown_robot/

    Even if she WAS, isn't it better for diversity to just think "oh hey, a black character in a 1995 game, cool!" than to go full-on moe? like, a positive gay or trans character in a 90s or 00s game I could understand that reaction, same with a positive black character in a 50s or 60s movie, but having a black character in any media, while uncommon in the past, hasn't been controversial since... probably the Star Trek kiss in the 60s.

    No, I'm not talking about that post in specific, I'm talking about a recent Kotaku article, you should be able to find it with a quick search of "kotaku star fox human", I used that post as a reference to prove she's white as it seems to be getting buried.

    I don't get where the idea of the Cuphead PS4 trailer being scary comes from. It's really cute IMO.

    Maybe apart from the "stuffing Cuphead full of hay" part, I could've done without that image.
    To me the problem with FE is the quantity, not the quality. If Everyone is Here wasn't a thing, multiple other series had the same amount of characters, or FE didn't get a high amount of newcomers in 3DS/Wii U Byleth probably would've been a decent reveal - but when FE, a mildly niche series that only really has a fanbase within the Nintendo community outside of Japan, has more characters than series like Donkey Kong, Kirby, Zelda and god damn SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, then it's a problem, and stripping Byleth of his sword or revealing him earlier the Fighters' Pass wouldn't change a little bit.

    I don't really mean niche in the "EarthBound pre-Smash" or "Golden Sun" way, more that it wouldn't be instantly recognisable, if recognisable at all, to non-Nintendo fans.

    These things are decided by corporate deals and profit, not by obscurity or lack of or Terry would never have been a thing. When you have a gatcha that's making money hand over fist then of course you would want to advertise it. Pleasing old fans isn't the worry, it's advertising to new fans.
    The worst thing about being British is the sense of guilt and dread over your ancestors' genocidal colonialism.

    The second worst thing about being British is having parents and teachers scold you for saying American slang. "I just wanna say aight, aight?"
    Little Mac mains are the biggest chads in Smash. Marth (or "inferior" clones in general) mains and (non-Sans) meme Mii mains come close too.
    So, they're making a Donkey Kong wall callendar for 2021, which might not seem notable if not for 2 things: 1. as far as I can tell they've never made a DK wall calendar before, and doing it now seems a little bit... well, suspicious is a bit too strong a word, but... telling, I guess?, and 2. King K. Rool, using his Paon render, is in the calendar, getting top billing for April, despite it being mostly themed around and using renders from the Returns duology.
    How long was it since the Game Freak behind the scenes video? because we've got new Drill Dozer content for the first time in ages: a placeholder badge in DP's beta.
    Kotaku posted an article stating for a fact the unused Star Fox 2 character is black because of her hair.

    If you just Google search "star fox 2 human" you'll find an earlier dumped spritesheet from almost a year ago featuring her with clearly white skin, right on the first row of results.

    I'm starting to understand why people hate that website.

    Nothing embarrasses me more than my edgy teen self genuinely, unironically thinking the Gumball "SJW" scene was biting social satire.

    I had to look up Crowder - yikes, what an a-hole. That being said, the juxtaposition of going through his Wikipedia article and finding the first thing listed in his filmography being The Brain in Arthur was pretty funny.

    Yeah his videos have a very sensationalist jock humor to them that can be very persuasive. I overlooked his abrasive personality because I like many mistook his crudeness as genuine passion which it was just in a different direction. The Author fact shocked me too showing that art does not always reflect life.

    Something I just realised about the PS1 games library: when it came to platformers, the PS1 was more conventional compared to Saturn or 64 with more linear and sometimes even 2D games - that's because, just like with the rest of the PS1 library, they were appealing to the older audience who grew up with the previous generation's Mario and Sonic games! how did I never realise this?
    My personal theory on how Super Monkey became Yoshi's Island:

    Began as a Stanley game with DK and a monkey army as the villains, Rare pitched DKC, it was approved, having DK as the antagonist would be contradictory when a game starring DK as the hero is coming out at the same time, so instead of creating a new set of antagonists for Stanley to fight the game was reworked into a Yoshi game featuring existing Mario villains, and eventually evolved into something completely new.

    Don't take this as fact, just my theory.
    I think Kaptain K. Rool would work better as an echo or semiclone than an alt, the krown's hitbox wouldn't really work with a pirate hat.

    As iconic as King K. Rool is, I would trade him for Kaptain K. Rool in a heartbeat. I know they're the same character, but a default Kaptain K. Rool alt with a Kaptain K. Rool moveset would be more exciting to me than what we got. I love how K. Rool turned out in Ultimate with how his Specials and Smash Attacks reference his boss fights like the crown toss from DKC, Blunderbuss from DKC2, jetpack from DKC3, and boxing gloves from DK64. But Kaptain K. Rool with a Kaptain K. Rool fully inspired moveset would be more hyped for me.
    I can't find any old "Meta Knight for Smash" threads from pre-Brawl's reveal. I did find one for Diddy where a poster super accurately predicted how Diddy would act and play in Smash, but I can't find ANYTHING for Meta Knight, not even when I search "Smash 3" or "Melee 2" instead of "Brawl", or limit my search from 2001 to 2006. Did literally nobody want Meta Knight in Smash or something? I wanted to put a picture of a Meta Knight support thread, add the caption "be careful what you wish for" and send it some friends for a laugh.
    Imagine if the source code for Melee got leaked... we might find out for a fact whether wavedashing was intentional or not! Not to mention cut characters and stages.

    I wonder how cut characters, assuming they exist, would be handled in competitive play... I'll use Diddy Kong as an example - how far would Diddy be in development? would he have a model but no animations/code, or code/animations but no model? either way, how much of a desire would there be to finish Diddy? If he had code, would he be edited to resemble his canon Smash counterpart more? and if so, how would Banana Peel be handled given tripping isn't a thing in Melee? and either way, if someone does make a fully functional, balanced out Diddy, would he be competitive legal?

    Mach Rider and Ayumi Tachibana were considered for the Retro slot before Sakurai went with the Ice Climbers so it would be amazing to see if they had models, renders, and voice clips in the earlier builds of Melee. I really can't wait for them to dump the Gamecube stuff so we can uncover Melee's deepest secrets.

    I'd love to see if Bubbles has a model, even if she's just a t-posed version of her trophy.
    Shy Guy in Mario Kart DS was basically a strategy to encourage people to buy a copy, but it just ended up making people take out their copies when playing with friends to play as the cool secret character.
    The next Smash game should just cut all single player content (except Vs. CPU) and focus on making the best possible multiplayer. That and a port are the only feasible ways I can see Everyone is Here coming back.

    Maybe not all single-player content. Probably not something to the extent of thoughtfully-crafted Classic Modes and campaigns, but things like multi-man melee and all-star mode should stay. I don’t see those being too terribly difficult to implement, but after all, I’m no game designer.

    I don't think that's the best idea. If you don't have any friends, you'd be kinda barred from playing a great game.
    We should be glad Sakurai misinterpreted Miyamoto's comments on Pac-Man, Brawl Pac-Man sounds terrifying.
