Imagine growing up in the early 80s, becoming a young adult, then seeing your hip little nephew put in DKC on the SNES and getting greeted with the sight of an old man monkey cranking a gramophone in the original arcade game.
Ouch.
Ouch.

One thing a lot of people under the belief that Microsoft “killed” Rare don’t understand is that they’ve made some great games under MS
Not to mention, I cannot imagine something like Rare Replay would happen under stingy old Nintendo.
Having a high pain threshold is really weird, like you’ll get a minor bruise - for example stubbing your toe against wood and having half of your toenail hanging off - and people will treat you like you’ve lost a limb.
WHAT IF WE KISSED
AT THE YOU’VE BEEN FRAMED VHS FACTORY
EarthBound is in this weird limbo of semi-obscurity where I wouldn’t be surprised if a non-gamer hadn’t heard of it, but equally unsurprised if they had.
The things each Smash game does best in ways others can’t provide:
64: Aesthetic
Melee: How interesting the dev history is
Brawl: Nothing
3DS: Single player
Wii U: Orbital Gate Assault
Ultimate: Balance
He’s got a head of fiery hair and a turbo charged backpack
The SFX teams reuse the whip cracks.
Happy 21 Day
It’s strange to me how Crash, Spyro and Klonoa all had GBA games labelled as the second instalments despite already having second instalments.
Considering how much channels like the AVGN and JonTron tend to attract younger audiences I wonder why nobody’s tried to cash in on that “retro gamer kid” market yet - closest is probably Peanut Butter Gamer, but even he cracks out some profanities from time to time.
Why would you use decimals in a 10 star rating system when you can just use a 20 star rating system?
This image looks like the wacky TV apocalypse reptile is going to slam his infant offspring into your face.
Sonic fans going 4 years without a new game:
DK fans going 7 years without a new game:
My dad is always talking about his nonsensical idea of science and philosophy - then one time I quoted a really surface level Philosoraptor meme to him and he tried to figure it out for like 7 minutes then gave up.
Just as Tolkien intended.
At this point we’re so used to “subversive” shows themed around the protagonists being awful people that it’d be more edgy and contrarian to make a show with a happy, bouncy “ray of sunshine” protagonist in a happy, bouncy world.
In regards to Mario Kart’s roster...
Average crossover character fan
Average Mario character enjoyer
2010s media trying to be like the 80s:
The actual 80s:
“Can it run Doom?”
“Can it run Sonic 1?”
“Can it run Bad Apple?”
“Can it run the Utah Teapot?”
“Can it run Crysis?”
“Could it render Toy Story?”
And now “Can it run Cyberpunk?”
I hope New Pokémon Snap has a cryptic logo at the beginning with a vague fairytale reference that only people who know about the game’s development will understand.
I recently watched Lion King 1 and a Half, and I was not expecting to like it nearly as much as I did. While the film is a comedy above all (Emperor’s New Groove is the best comparison within the scope of Disney) it’s got some good emotional beats. Also, I never thought I’d laugh so hard at a fart joke - if you’ve seen the film you’ll know exactly which one I’m talking about.
It’s hella messed up how everyone knows how horrific retributive prisons are but refuse to do anything about it because of it being quote unquote “deserved” or “karma”
When you haven’t got enough time or money to make new moulds.
JSYK, the wrist game is actually 4 bit.
When you try to be the most 80s thing in existence but end up becoming the most 2000s thing in existence:
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES THIS IS LONG OVERDUE

Is it too much to ask to get a proper, educational video on small parts of gaming history without forced jokes about Gex every 5 seconds?
There’s no feeling in Smash better than KOing using a Steve F-Smash with no sword. *****slap that dude!
Is it just me or is Nintendo promoting Activision’s platformers more lately?
Maybe, just maybe... is it about time?
Why do people use asterisks for the first vowels of controversial topics? It’s not like anyone’s going to have triggers set off specifically by the first A in “racism”.
The only potential newcomer I can think of who would universally please almost everyone like K. Rool and to a lesser extent Steve beforehand is Knuckles.
When I see people treat Metroid as one of Nintendo’s highest priority or most iconic franchises, especially over series like Animal Crossing or even Pokémon, I just imagine an overgrown 90s kid who’s been living under a Memphis triangle-adorned rock for the past 27 years.
I agree with everything Dunkey says in his Sonic Mania video except the pronunciation of Hydrocity
The worst Sonic game is NOT 06.
That’s the second worst, the first worst is this travesty:
the 3DS version specifically, the other versions are pretty good.
I feel Waluigi would’ve been in SSBU had Nintendo clarified clearly that the Smash Ballot was for a future instalment.
I’m just saying, it’d be perfectly on-brand for a new Wario Land to have the title “Wario Land 5: Technically 6: Technically 7”.
With the obvious exception of Sonic 1, Classic Sonic games don’t punish going fast, they punish mindlessly going fast for the sake of going fast. That’s one of the reasons momentum is so important to not only Sonic, but high speed platforming in general.
Donkey Kong 64 was originally supposed to be a Crash style corridor platformer.
WE WERE ROBBED.
I wonder which Smash stage has fighters at the smallest scale... I’d assume either the Flat Zones or Pikmin stages. Can’t be Gamer since there’s a Game and Watch in that stage.
I seriously doubt Rich Uncle Pennybags was envisioned as sounding like Toad as portrayed by Frank Oz. -
