Champion of Hyrule

Every block in Tetris is made up of exactly four smaller blocks, that’s why it’s called Tetris. Tetris means four.
So Puyo Puyo should be Duoris

Apparently not long after Sega teased Sonic Adventure 3, they also talked about the possibility of making a Dreamcast Mini... umm... yes, please. I would get so hyped for that and absolutely buy it.

Game Theory has a video that suggests there was cut content related to a Frozen level, where Elsa turns evil and attacks the main characters, like how Elsa was planned to be evil in the first Frozen movie

And for some reason the thumbnail says “Too hot for Disney!”
now that’s clickbait if I’ve ever seen clickbait

I’ve had a weird start with Crash Bandicoot and Sonic: Crash of the Titans and Sonic and the Black Knight... definitely an interesting place to start

It’s 100% okay to have differences in the characters you want in Smash and characters you think are gonna get in

Boy have I got a hot take for y’all today:
The way people are comparing N. Sane Trilogy with 3D All Stars is pretty flawed and unfair

(I know someone recently made a post comparing the two and this rant isn’t meant to be attacking that person)

So... Yeah it’s pretty dumb what was missing from 3D All Stars. The lack of Galaxy 2 and 64 DS makes no sense, especially because Nintendo clearly has no plans to rerelease them somewhere else. There’s literally no benefit to keeping them from people, from a business stand point.

But still, N. Sane Trilogy is not miles ahead 3D All Stars. People say it is for two reasons:

• The price ($40 instead of $60)
• The games are remastered

Well... the price is a bit understandable to be honest: N. Sane Trilogy has a lot less content than 3D All Stars. It takes only like 5 hours to beat each Crash game, but the Mario games have much more content. It has over double the amount of content as the Crash collection! And remember The crash worlds are not open like Mario’s. They’re still fun, but not open, and not as immersive.

N. Sane Trilogy also has things that aren’t in the game for no good reason. Why isn’t the original version of each game playable? Why dosen’t it have any sort of gallery or soundtrack player?

And then there’s the “remastered” part... Yeah remastered is honestly just a buzzword here. They’re the same games. Obviously a lot of work went into remastering them, but they’re still games people have already played in the 90s. Don’t treat this collection like the new standard for rereleasing games because the graphics look better

This isn’t to tear into Crash, I love the collection, think it was a great way to revive Crash, and they absolutely made the right call doing what they did. It’s just that it kind of frustrates me when people are quick to jump to Crash, saying it’s alot better for no reason other than “mario runs on just an emulator.” It’s not as simple as that and I do think 3D All Stars is the most bang for your buck

I’m honestly still pretty surprised there wasn’t any Sonic Schoolhouse references in Mania. Mania seems like the perfect place to have a funny, stupid reference to something like that

Unless it does have a reference to it and it just dosent come up when I google “mania sonic schoolhouse reference”

Am I the only one who isn’t that bothered when fighters pass characters don’t have that many spirits or music tracks? Like, I don’t mind the lack of spirits from Persona games other than 5 and I’m fine without any music tracks from the original Minecraft game

I actually kind of like the Great Cave Offensive stage. As long as you have two players and no ones camping or running away from you or something annoying like that, I actually have fun with it every time I play.

Of course, the stage isn’t intended for two players, so... a few points deducted there I guess

If you played Among Us before 2020 you deserve a veterans discount

Okay do I’ve never been the biggest Geno fan or supporter, but I’d bet money Geno’s gonna be somewhere in the DLC, and I’m gonna be hyped

Today I got a video recommended to me. It was the “Super Mario on PS4 meme” but it was called “Its me, Yu Narukami On the Nintendo 3DS!” wha... but... yu narukami is already on the 3DS... uh... ok... not how the meme works...

Among Us ending up way more popular than Fall Guys shows us that accessibility will always be a factor in how popular a game will end up being

Honestly I think it would be hilarious if Tingle was in Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, and they gave an explanation for why there’s an island named after him. As long as it’s a stupid reason

It must have either felt like the best thing ever, or the worst thing ever to be a fan of the Yakuza game series when Baka Mitai became a meme

Feels like every 5 seconds I’m obsessed with a new videogame series. Now it’s Final Fantasy, before it was Sonic, before that was Street Fighter, and then before that it Zelda, and it’s goes on...

I would probably be disappointed by any Gen 8 newcomer... Except for Corviknight... for some reason.

I dunno, I just think Corviknight has the perfect amount of originality and recognizability to be the best candidate for a Gen 8 rep... And the only one, in my mind

Tales of Symphonia feels more like you’re playing a mid 2000s TV Y7 cartoon like Avatar or Teen Titans (The latter, mostly thanks to Lloyd’s voice) and less like a complicated, story driven JRPG

It’s because of this that it’s always felt weird seeing the characters with full-on anime designs instead of how they look in the game

So apparently a site said “Nintendo reportedly argues joycon drift isn’t a real problem or hasn’t caused anyone any inconvenience”

I don’t buy that, though. Nintendo has already apologized for joycon drift and is repairing it. Besides, it says “reportedly” so in taking it with a grain of salt

Does anyone have any information on this? What source originally reported it, and do you think it’s likely this happened?

The only smash character it makes sense to say has a toxic playstyle is Piranha Plant... and not the reason people usually say “toxic playstyle”

There are no such thing as “Toxic fanbases” you only think there are for three main reasons :
1. Vocal minorities
2. Vocal minorities
3. Vocal minorites

Smash fans only have three jokes when talking about Steve:

• Smash fans love miners
• Steve can do weird things with blocks
• You’re going to Minecraft

If you want any original, funny jokes about something else from the Smash community, you’re out of luck

I really wanna see what most destroyed villages/towns on Hyrule Field in BotW looked like before the calamity, in the Age of Calamity game

Steve is NOT too recent to have an influence on the game industry.
Minecraft was released 11 years ago. In the gaming world that’s:

• The difference between the year Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 64 were released
• When the Wii was still getting support from Nintendo
• The year another Smash fighter, Bayonetta, debuted
• The amount of years between the Gamecube and Wii U

And a LOT more

Who’s ready to have their youtube recommended list filled with “Revenge recreated in Super Smash Bros” videos?

Now listen here, in this household we call it the “Tales of” series! Not the “Tales” series!

Tetris, Rambi, Guardian and Proto Man...

The four horsemen of “I can’t believe it’s not an assist trophy!”

Among Us is honestly just painful to play if you aren’t playing with voice chat

I’m not to keen on Sora in Smash, but not for the reason you might think,

I don’t want him because of the sheer amount of hate he would get. That would basically start a “Smash fans civil war” worse than we’ve ever seen. There’s already way too many people who call die-hard Sora supporters “nostalgia blind” or “just people who want to mess up Smash by adding things that aren’t from games” and the amount of arguing that would ensue honestly scares me.
It would be worse than Byleth, worse than pokemon sword and shield, and worse than paper mario. That would probably be the most frustrating debate the Smash community has ever had... And that’s saying alot

The situation of adding Steve was probably less like:
Nintendo: Add Steve or you lose your job!
Sakurai: i dont wanna but ok...

And more like:
Nintendo: Hey, we think Steve would be a REALLY good idea!
Sakurai: Steve!? That’s impossible!... But I’ll do it!

I’m super hyped for Steve, but if you’re disappointed that’s fine.

Just don’t shut down the importance of the character, especially if you haven’t played Minecraft

Okay, I’m inventing a new phrase, which I call “Newcomer Daze”

This is to describe the weird feeling we get when a strange, somewhat gimmicky character is released in Smash, and they feel out of place.

We’ve all had the feeling before, and I can practically guarantee everyone’s feeling it with Steve. Think about when Hero or Min Min were put in Smash and they felt out of place with their gimmicks. Even Joker, Terry, Byleth, and to some extent, BK felt a little off at first, but eventually the feeling went away.

And that’s the thing about the feeling, it goes away. The DLC feels like a part of Smash now. Sure we can still remember the newcomer daze we’ve had, but we don’t feel that way anymore.

Steve feels like he won’t fit in, but soon enough we won’t be able to imagine Smash without him

Not making Steve's series logo a creeper face was a missed opportunity

Brawl had third party characters as a bonus,
Smash 4 had them to represent the essential gaming all stars, and Ultimate has them to make dreams come true

I really don’t think there’s any reason for Steve’s spirit board to include characters from other Microsoft games.
Terry’s made sense because SNK games are tightly connected, and Terry is more popular in crossovers than his own game.
It would just seem strange to me

Oh god I’m already seeing an explosion of memes of grotesque steve and banjo kazooie I don’t wanna remember that video I DONT WANNA

Wait... Isn’t Steve now the first character in smash who debuted on PC? That’s pretty cool

Wait... Isn’t Steve now the first character in smash who debuted on PC? That’s pretty cool

My thought process during the reveal:

A fight on battlefield? Wait why’s Terry here? Is it another fighting game character? Scorpion? Sol Badguy?...

Oh, I guess not... Wait, Sonic just KO’d Mario... is it a Sonic character!?!

Oh... well Mario’s in a dark area now... hold on, darkness, Mario... King Boo!!?!

HOLD UP... rattling noises?! Geno!?

WAIT THAT WAS A MINECRAFT ZOMBIE GROAN HOLY SHI-

I can understand the concern Steve won’t fit with Smash, but I don’t agree with it. Min Min, Hero and Joker all felt out of place at first but feel a lot more natural now
