  • I was so bored during the direct I made up a fake joke Direct on Google Docs.

    One of my joke ideas became real (that being Nintendo reminding you that Hades exists for no reason)

    Thinking back about Nintendo Directs I really don't have many good memories of them, just losing sleep to watch tedious anime RPGs and indie sizzle reels. What I'm trying to say is...

    Nintendo Direct was never good.
    You know what I would've done in Sakurai's shoes? Two passes, one for more realistic and anime-esque fighters, and the other for goofier and cartoonier fighters, released concurrently. Good way to keep variety and make sure nobody gets something they don't want from the Fighters Pass gamble.

    The problems is not all characters fit cleanly into those boxes, plus it seems kind of limiting.

    OK, how about some legit arguments for these characters over Pyra?

    -Bubsy would provide a fun, even if not unique, playstyle as a slippery glass cannon. He also represetns the mascot platformer boom, an important part of gaming history.
    -Skylanders has quite a lot of unique characters that could make a full pass of good characters gameplay wise at the very least.
    -Goku has been highly requested for decades and has a devoted following who support him in spite of his complete illegibility
    -H has appeared in almost every video game ever made, being a common Latin letter. It is recognisable to any literate person in an English speaking country.
    -Zavoc would be a second representative for one of the most beloved game series of all time, one which has infamously got the shaft in the world of Smash
    -Grandpa Lou's excercise frequently running 15 miles would make him an interesting hit-and-run speedster with a heavy weight thanks to his old age. He would also be the first Jewish fighter in Smash.

    I would hate all of those timelines (excluding Goku and Bubsy) but at least they're not Pyra
    The more anime-esque characters they add to Smash, the more I hunger for Peppino in Smash. We need a character who's truly 100% cartoony to compensate for all this garbage.
    Not to start a debate or flame war, but I'm just saying...

    Geno has about as much plot relevance to Mario RPG as the Minions had in the original Despicable Me. Just a side character who saves the day at the last second to justify their existence.

    But this is a plot-driven RPG with twists and turns, not a platformer. Compare Geno to Mallow, who acually has a character arc and plot relevance outside of the start and end.

    Ever heard of the trope Ensemble Dark Horse?
    So the Cruella DeVile movie is just Joker for kids? OK then.
    The Chuck E. Cheese channel is honestly some of the highest quality content for kids on YouTube. The songs are catchy, there's plenty of easter eggs for the surprisingly large adult CEC fandom, there's a lot of charming animatons, and the educational content is super informative for its target demo.
    They say "flanderisation", the exaggeration of a character's single flaw or quirk to become their main personality trait, is an inherently bad writing trope that must be avoided at all costs... to that, I provide you with a rebuttal in the form of a single transparent PNG.



    There are so many 3D platformers (especially ones involving hedgehogs) that could've had a majority of their problems fixed with 360 movement being swapped for 8-directional movement,

    Wait, was that an issue with Sonic Adventure games? I never found 360 degree movement to be an issue, in fact it really made the experience. If anything, I really hate how stiff the controls feel in Sonic Forces (8 directions).
    Wario Wario Wario
    Wario Wario Wario
    Yeah, that was my main (but not my only) problem with the Adventure games. Sonic feels slippery and often bumps into walls and falls off edges.
    Janx_uwu

    I guess I could understand why-take all the directions of Mario 64 and give it speed and momentum, not the easiest thing in the world to control. Could just be an acquired taste though.
    Not to say I fully disagree. I really hate high-speed sections of the Adventure games that give you full control over the hedgehogs as it's easy to knock into stuff. So maybe in a remake, add in a "High-Speed Mode" which limits you to eight directions when going at max speed.
    Most anti-AT promotion arguments are utterly nonsensical and generally come from a lack of knowledge on game design and development.
    I don’t really want Ryu Hayabusa in Smash because he really strikes me as a Simon sort of character where he’s extremely accurate to the source material and as such more a list of references than an actual platform fighting game character.

    imo being extremely accurate to the source material is a good thing
    There’s so much to take in this single box art

    -Anthropomorphic rabbit
    -Fat stereotype boy EATING FOOD DURING THE GAME
    -Token black 90s kid with the token black 90s kid flat top
    -The split of “Boys Mode” and “Girls Mode”, as well as the use of pink and hearts to signify “Girls Mode”
    -The title and logo blatantly plagiarising Bad News Bears, a movie with the N word in it.
    -It technically reads Bad B News Baseball
    -Macaulay Culkin’s animated character from the Pagemaster is there for some reason
    -The popcorn, give that it’s placed behind the rabbit, could not have logically came from either, the audience or fat stereotype boy - unless they’re throwing the popcorn like tomatoes or something
    -There is no character the blue beanie hat could belong to.
    -The baseball is flying in reverse order, and isn’t close enough to the bat to have just been hit by it.
    -Shiny dust
    -Macaulay Culkin from the Pagemaster has a muzzle for some reason
    I still don’t get how the “Microsoft killed Rare” myth continues to proliferate.

    I guess it’s that most “Rare fans” are just Nintendo fans who look at Rare’s post-Nintendo lineup, see next to no Banjo or Conker and decide “THEY’RE DEAD!” without actually looking into the Xbox-exclusive games they’ve released since like Kameo or Viva Piñata.

    I see people saying “If Microsoft had bought Nintendo, they would have killed off all of Nintendo’s series!

    It’s pretty stupid to actually think Nintendo would just stop making Mario games under Microsoft

    Nintendo being owned by Microsoft would be actually kinda neat because we would be getting Nintendo games on PC officially.

    I'm guessing it's because of the long stretch of time where they made nothing but Kinect games, coupled with the low-quality attempts at following up franchises like Banjo and Perfect Dark (at the very least, those games didn't live up to the expectations that were set by them being a part of those series). It probably doesn't help that they didn't seem to have any involvement in the 2013 Killer Instinct game beyond supervising. (they didn't develop it)

    Rare seems to be turning things around (I'm not sure whether you'd count Rare Replay as a victory for modern Rare since it's re-releasing games that they already made, but I've heard that the Battletoads game is decent, and Everwild looks like it could be good), but it took a really long time, and they're still nowhere near their peak of 1994-2001. (as far as I can tell)
    Collaboratively writing a story taking place in the recent past is pretty hard when one of you knows a lot about 80s/90s tech and the other doesn’t.

    One of our characters is a multiversal traveller from the 80s, I mentioned that he’d be confused at modern day gaming and internet, my friend said he’d be surprised it isn’t dial up, and I had to explain how dial up didn’t exist in the 80s.
    Sonic has a weirdly long history of inferior ports being more easily accessible than the better versions. Both Adventure games, 2 8-Bit, original ROM 1 and 2...

    Logic dictates that there must’ve been a Jessica McClure-level worry and rescue mission going on concurrent to the events of Undertale.
    The yellow phase of Pilotwings is like Kongo Falls with no platforms or barrel, tilting, a long platform and a barely accessible rock.

    So nothing like Kongo Falls.

    This comparison made more sense in my head,
