Mario Kart 9 should follow the CTR:NF model - frequent free updates backed by optional, non-intrusive MTX. Also, CTR brought back a lot of obscure characters (Yaya Panda, Rilla Roo, e.t.c.) and MK could really benefit from something similar, given how well it worked for them already with Birdo and Daisy in Tennis 64.

I can't believe the 90s Nicktoons are dead and they're selling their corpses as food.

One of my most wanted 3rd parties for Smash is PaRappa the Rapper - but a problem with him in the realm of Smash is that he's a character who openly opposes violence, as opposed to say, Isabelle, who is just a character who doesn't engage in violence. I think a good solution to make him seem more in-character would be to make him the only character who acknowledges Smash as a sport (outside of victory screen claps at least) - his eyes would never go angry, his taunts wouldn't be taunting as much as him expressing admiration at his opponent's skills, and on his victory screen he'd gives his foes words of encouragement (while still doing a victory dance of course).

I hope the popularity of Fall Guys encourages more companies to make foot racing platformers. I just want Rayman M 2.

Is it just me or are items really drawn to lava on custom stages?

Crash 4 redesigns IMO:

Improvement:
Coco (this one comes rather close, she's cuter in N. Sane, but About Time is a lot more expressive)
Dingodile (absolutely the biggest upgrade, body positivity icon.)
N. Tropy (it's just the N. Sane design but more expressive)

Downgrade:
Crash (don't like the fur, or lack thereof)
Cortex (eww, round head...)
N. Gin (the biggest downgrade of them all, I usually prefer more expressive designs, but having a ride range of expressions just doesn't fit Gin.)

I find the term "politically incorrect" absolutely hilarious because, considering the separate definitions of the words "politically" and "incorrect", if you call yourself PI you're basically just saying you're objectively wrong.

If something came out in 1999, it's less from the 90s and more from... the 90, singular.

SmashWiki lists Roy as a semi-clone and Doc as a full clone.

SmashWiki is run by idiots.

I say this as a long-time SmashWiki contributor.

I think the one potential Smash character I'm the most mixed on is Tetromino - it's simultaneously a great and terrible idea. It deserves the slot no doubt, but whether it should have the slot is a different story.

Sometimes I randomly think about that one Mario 3D Land level where you can just jump over the whole thing.

OK, let's settle this once and for all: which super-powered animal team 80s cartoon had the best theme song? I can't decide between Avenger Penguins and Street Sharks

Rise of the TMNT was a victim caught in the crossfire of unnecessary Thundercats Roar and TTG hate, change my mind.

Seriously though, comedy reboots are not the enemy, this is:

The Crash 4 redesigns are growing on me, but I still prefer the N. Sane Trilogy designs. Anything's better than tattoo'd Crash and square Coco though.

I love this ad because it begins off genuinely serious and harrowing, then it's like "nah, it wasn't her mother or anything, it was just Crash Bandicoot. Don't pirate our games" - but like, the ad's score makes it seem like it's a big twist, and it's worse that Lara Croft died than what you were expecting.

This fake box art from 2008 predicted modern day memes

In all honesty though, modern memes are basically the same as a child coming up with video game ideas.

Wario Wario Wario · Aug 30, 2020

Nintendo needs to make Nintenhamsters for sole purpose of getting a hamster cage as a Smash stage. There is no thing more perfectly fit for a platform fighter stage.

When playing retro games with save states, extra lives are good because funny number goes kaching.

If Alex Kidd DX could start off as a fangame and get licensed as an official, paid product, then surely they could do the same for Sonic Studio. That game's quality and understanding of the source material matches even Mania.

The Kencineroar trailer is strange - a martial artist fights a boxer, then a wrestler comes in uninvited? what rules are they playing by?

NES emulation on Wii had such an unnerving vibe to it.

Wario Wario Wario · Aug 30, 2020

I'd love to have Coin Mode and Single Button Mode back.

Sorry Bonus Mode.

When I was growing up I always thought the Rayman 2 box art looked way too dramatic

Then I discovered what it looks like in the US.

Jesus Christ graphic designers, it's just Rayman, not a god damn Lord of the Rings X Matrix crossover.

You know how KFC opened a gaming Twitch channel? I had a dream where KFC opened a bank, and my parents were forcing me to start my debit card with KFC.

The Poison Mushroom could easily be changed to the Mini-Mushroom and made into a power-up instead of a power-down.

The Sans costume makes a decent outfit for a Kumatora Mii.

Funky Kong is a weird case when it comes to Smash because you could extremely easily work out an original moveset for him with surface level knowledge alone, but he just makes more sense as an echo fighter.

The ads for Struggling on NintendoLife are genuinely making me a little queasy - I have a high gross out tolerance and I'd have no problem with it on the side of an article, but maybe that's not the best game to give a giant banner ad...

I never got the significance to Waluigi being made to be a tennis partner. Most Mario characters were created for really insignificant reasons - Luigi was a palette swap they just so happened to give a name as opposed to "Mario (II)"; Yoshi was pretty much just a power-up, and Diddy was even less significant: a life bar.

Wario Wario Wario · Aug 29, 2020

If Nintendo need a tennis partner for Pauline, Stanley would be the best candidate. Cranky could work too, but that'd raise a lot of questions that benefit nobody to answer - except Kotaku since they'd get a lot of clicks.

Pimp my ride.

I'm sure there was a Donkey Kong game where Funky had an invisible surf board, but I can't find it no matter how hard I try.

Legalise the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated custom stage for competitive play

Wario Wario Wario · Aug 29, 2020

I wouldn't be opposed to Fall Guy in Smash.

Wario Wario Wario · Aug 28, 2020

Doomguy probably has the award for "most names for a single video game character in a single region" - like, there's Doomguy, Doom Marine, Doom Slayer, and just Slayer.

The most unnecessary video game in history is probably Twisted Metal: Small Brawl. It's a game with a genius idea on paper, make a kid-friendly version of the T-rated Twisted Metal featuring toy cars - but the thing is: Small Brawl was ALSO rated T, therefore eliminating any need for it to exist in the first place.

LJN, Blast, Outright Games, the spirit of terrible shovelware never goes - and there's something strangely comforting in that.

If Angry Birds was made today the enemies would be green crows.

Just because a game can have a story mode, doesn't mean it should have a story mode. World of Light is the best proof of this you can get.

When they made Chicken Run, they gave all the chickens neck-wear as to hide the seams in their metal skeletons.

I guess that makes it the first Western hen tie movie.
