As a huge fan of the 90s aesthetic, I really hate when modern productions or products try to recreate the aesthetic but literally only go off "colourful triangles and squiggles" and nothing else.

It's not as bad as trying to replicate the 80s aesthetic and just using that "neon sunset" design type which has literally nothing to do with the 80s though

I'm trying to wrap my head around this slogan but still can't.

Is this like, some satirical reference to another ad from the time?

Wow, it's so cool that Celeste added an easy mode! not sure why they replaced Madeleine with a slab of beef though...

There's probably a few people out there who know Ashley by name but don't know she has anything to do with Wario. Most people would call this a bad thing but I'd consider it a testament to how memorable and varied the WW character designs are.

I think if Nintendo were to experiment with breaking the "Mario Mandate" a little, Ashley would be the perfect character to use - she's unlike anyone else in the regular Mario roster, but also doesn't have a confusing backstory or strange design - you can see her with the skull jewel; crown-like headband and little devil friend on her shoulder, and instantly know what she's all about, she wouldn't bat more eyes on a Mario Kart roster than Daisy when Mario Tennis 64 came out. Die-hard fans get a character they know well; while casual fans just see a moody little witch.

Iggy Koopa looks like the sort of kid who watches all his cartoons pirated on YouTube, never more recent than 2012. He's the sort to sit in a crowd of kids talking about the latest Amphibia episode or whatever and ask "hey, you ever heard of Robot Jones? it's really cool, you should watch it." or recoil with genuine horror when his closest friend (who was born in 2009) tells him he's never heard of Freakazoid, or spend 15 minutes explaining to his family what the "Kimba, I mean Simba" joke in The Simpsons means.

Tracy Beaker is trending on Twitter because Americans don't know who she is, which is one thing...

but I also learned Americans don't know who the Gruffalo is.

I thought EVERYONE knew the Gruffalo, worldwide, never even considered the idea he'd be known solely in Britain, but nope.

I don't get why you can stage morph between two Battlefield/FD forms but not between multiple versions of Minecraft World or other randomised/multi-variant stags.

I can't believe Global Smash Roster let Android 21 stay on but removed Anthrax. I hate that site now.

Let's be real here, who's the TRUE grossest Smash fighter, the guy who farts on people's faces, or the FROG THAT USES ITS TONGUE AS A SCARF LIKE SCOOBY DOO WHEN HE LICKS OFF THE COTTON CANDY????

In a way 3D All-Stars' limited time ordeal was good because it snapped us out from our Nintendo-worshipping trance.

Nobody can really agree on which Rhythm Heaven character should get in if one was to. My choice is Tap Trial Girl because 1. she's cute, 2. she's on the title screen of the series' two most well known games, and 3. she's a non-sexualised female character

Finally, we've found it. It literally says, right there, Adventure 3. This is Sonic Adventure 3.

The new Tom & Jerry movie actually looks... good. There's no talking, they don't "become friends to overcome the odds", there's no big budget CG, it's just live action hour-long Tom & Jerry from what I can see.

Digimon in the West is the perfect example of bad marketing dooming a franchise. I know Digimon came first and was only changed in America to seem more like Pokémon and even I still don't take it seriously because of the way it was treated.

Winky? Creepy? Spunky? Kinky? what's with all these Pac-Man ghosts and having suggestive names?

Wario Wario Wario · Oct 25, 2020

We need a name for this kind of character design with no nose but a long mouth and beady eyes, it's so surreal yet so aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

Somebody found a loop hole to post SpongeBob on the Global Smash Roster. I love this site.

The "Ready to Fight!" banner is more annoying than Ness' PK Fire.

We've removed the Pac-Man video. We heard what you're saying & understand why you're disappointed with Billy Mitchell's inclusion and how the section about him was presented. We're working on a reedited version without the portion involving Mitchell, with new trivia in its place.

If you condemn something by supporting violence (even jokingly) towards people involved with it, you're pretty much just normalising the thing you're trying to stop.

wherever Dreamworks' Trolls franchise goes, controversy seems to follow.

-First movie rightfully accused of trivialising depression
-Second movie basically killed cinema (that's the cinema owners' fault BTW)
-That whole thing with the sitting doll
-Quibi employees being asked to listen to its soundtrack after being fired.

I kinda wish a future Mario game would explore the "actors" thing further, maybe have some backstage bonus stages a la The Muppet Show.

Don't you just love when you discover something weird in your YouTube recommendations, and you go down a huge rabbit hole because of it, beginning ironically and then becoming a genuine passion? because right now I'm jamming out to the "chewing gum with your mouth open type beat"

The three non-Japanese female characters in Smash so far have been an eldritch abomination, a sarcastic bird, and a ginger-haired cube.

Japanese devs should be taking notes.

I imagine that had 3DS/Wii U ACTUALLY cut ZSS a lot of YouTubers would've lost a lot of ad revenue.

It's strange how so few people talk about how Pac-Man was plagiarised from Tomy - especially the wonderfully anticlimactic ending where Tomy were like "hey, you ripped off our character... can we make the merchandise?" and Namco just went "sure." https://pacman.fandom.com/wiki/Pac-Man_Bank

"Kirby and Captain Falcon for Mario Kart 9!"
Calm down dudes, they haven't even added Kamek yet! Nintendo's far from the bottom of the barrel, and if CTR has taught me anything (other than that microtransactions are completely trivial and not worth worrying about), it's that the bottom of the barrel is exactly where you want to be.

The trademark lookup site is such a weird place, some cool stuff I've discovered:

Pac-Man World 3 was originally called "Pac-Man World 3: The Elixir of Life"
This SEGA logo, which they filed for in 2019:

Nintendo filed a trademark for "QUBE" in the 70s. At first I thought it was something to do with the Viacom-owned interactive 70s TV channel QUBE, but seems not judging from the time frame - specifically with the registration coming after the channel

This image of Toon Link, at first I thought it was stolen fan art given the art style doesn't fully match up with any toon-style Zelda games, but it seems like it was drawn for the trademark registration

In the 90s, Viacom filed trademarks for pretty much every character from CatDog (they were super enthusiastic about this show when it came out, but SpongeBob ended up being the big hit) - sorry to anyone with an unrelated idea for characters called "the Greaser Dogs" or "Rancid Rabbit".
