For some reason a lot of people seem to think early gaming history is just "Computer Space. Pong. Space Invaders. Magnavox Odyssey. Pac-Man. Mario. Zelda. Sonic" when it's MUCH more complex and long than that. I feel this narrative is often pushed to exaggerate the historical importance of series like Metroid, Mega Man, and Crash Bandicoot that didn't really do much for gaming outside their own genres.

Given how many memes went around about the British-ness of Galar, I can only imagine the reaction to an Australia region.

I just read the plot synopsis for Bugsnax and I don't know why people think it's so dark. Maybe the imagery is more unsettling than the actual themes? Either way, it seems to me like a relatively standard kids' spooky story with a somewhat shocking twist.

The Nintendo fanbase really should've learned to be careful what they wish for from StarFox Zero.

I kinda imagine Waluigi being either heavyweight Luigi or lightweight Snake in Smash.

Those are two polar opposite playstyles, but it really shows how much potential the purple schemer has.

I love the fact the Master Hand glitch isn't banned in competitive Melee because he's an unplayably pathetic character in a competitive context.

You are now cursed with the knowledge Young Link twists his thumb in his victory animation.

Hope you never forget this, because I sure won't.

If that's the niche you're aiming for with the work as a whole then hell yeah, go for it with no limits! Sexualise and fetishize whatever you want, regardless of societal norms.

If it's in a work where the intent is to actually have characters, make a fun game, tell a story, e.t.c. - especially a sequel to a less sexualised work - just don't. You'll simply isolate fans who aren't there for that and ruin your work's reputation.

What anime fans hate about western character design: Yooka-Laylee
What cartoon fans hate about eastern character design: Xenoblade

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Trying to learn about game design can utterly ruin discussing games.

"Sonic is cool because he's fast!"
"Well, Sonic wasn't really good because of his speed but rather because of the way speed is built up and the way the level designs accomodated that, specifically with inertia and momentu-wait, where are you going?"

There's this weird, decades-recurrent trend of Disney movies beginning with an easy to grasp but awful message and then changing to a harder to swallow but much more useful message half way through, but the awful message sticks with people more and ends up being used more in marketing material.

"Hakuna Matata", "Seize your moment", "What do you want to be remembered for", "Anyone can cook", so forth.

Considering the time frame of the reveal, it would've been really awkward if the ARMS rep was Byte and Barq.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 18, 2021

Disney made an Up anime.

As much as I regret purchasing the Fighters' Pass, I am glad I got to play Terry's stage from it.

People who like clearly and exaggeratedly sexualised characters: "IT'S NOT SEXUAL, I SWEAR! THEY HAVE A BRILLIANT CHARACTER ARC AND POWERS!"

People who like characters from children's media who lack any remotely sexual attributes and may or may not have been specifically designed to be ugly or gross: "Yeah, it's sexual. Duh. You DON'T have the hots for Mung Daal?"

The best 1st party news in the Direct is that Daisy has her tan skin tone back.

"I've never had many IRL friends, and none at all have lasted, I wonder why..."

Me at age 14: "Hey, have you ever heard of Mole Mania? Have you ever heard of Bubsy? Have you ever heard of Drill Dozer? Have you ever heard of Go! Go! Kokopolo?"

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 17, 2021

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)

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 17, 2021

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.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 17, 2021

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 Becky Pyra vs. the Chad Fall Guys vs. the Thad Stubbs the Zombie.

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.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 17, 2021

"Triangle Strategy" is the stupidest game name I've ever heard.
yes, worse than "Tongue of the Fatman".

Simple addition that'd improve the Pyra reveal:

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 17, 2021

Add an S at the beggining, replace the A with an O - there, better reveal.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 17, 2021

Pyra? really?

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 17, 2021

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.

Instead of writing a song about Panini, Lil Nas X should've written a song about Chestnut and his dining room table.

So the Cruella DeVile movie is just Joker for kids? OK then.

People in the UK chat for the Nintendo Direct are really confident it's gonna be Sackboy. I don't know why.

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.

Negative message: "Good vibes only"

Positive message: "No Vibes, no bevis, no bevis"

The Waluigi.com domain was supposedly updated by Nintendo 2 hours ago....

I know what hype train I'm riding on tomorrow night, and if it crashes and burns so be it. (It'd be on-brand anyway)

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 17, 2021

: NOOO! YOU CAN'T JUST NOT UPDATE YOUR ARCITECTURE! YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE STUCK IN THE 1480S!

: Haha abandoned factories went brrrr
