People in the 90s could get like 3000 hours out of Diddy Kong Racing and I can barely get 3 hours out of a full £50 AAA release.

Can’t wait for Growing Around to come out and have the same legacy as CatDog before it: as “that show where they didn’t think about the logistic implications of the premise”
Everyone’s favourite Pac-Man side character: RAT

Subscription services are OK, VC is better, but ultimately I think the best option for rereleasing classic games is compilations - Mostly because they encourage players to try lesser known games by design.
The idea of a second Namco arcade rep in Smash is slept on I feel. Pac-Man only really uses elements from his own games; Mappy and Galaga, there’s plenty of other games in the Namco Museum that could be taken from, be it for a non-clone Ms. Pac-Man/Ghost Gang or a specific rep like Taizo, Valkyrie or Mappy.
If Shadow Mario was a Mario echo his alts should have the colours of the Koopalings
I’m gonna try and sell you on the idea of Sora coming with Disney-related content:
A Ratatouille Mii hat that has Remy pull on your hair
NOW do you still believe Sora shouldn’t have Disney content?
Even as a kid I could tell the character designs in the Save Ums were ugly.
I remember reading this article, think it was by Cracked, called something like “10 times one person ruined something for everyone else” and one of the listed occurrences was something among the lines of an elderly woman who couldn’t sleep because of a loud clock tower and requested it be demolished or made quieter.
How the hell was she in the wrong?
That one anime character with the thing in her mouth creeps me out. Is it her lack of expression? The shining pink eyes? I don’t know, either way she gives me the heebee jeebees.
We talk a lot about how to avoid certain types of people but nowhere near enough about how to avoid becoming said types of people.
Just found out Byleth’s last name is Eisner. Surprised his school isn’t inside a giant statue of Mickey Mouse.
This is a controversial opinion but honestly I like the sad Bart edits. They’re really well made and have probably helped some people through rough times. They’re a little silly when simplified down to just “Sad music with VHS filtered Simpsons clips” but all things considered are their own beautiful transformative work.
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.
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? -
