How have Nintendo gone so many decades without giving Bowser his own game? He works as a protagonist, a majority of Mario's RPGs have him as a hero so why not?

The original NES Kid Icarus is so underappreciated, at least by non-boomers. (boomers in the "gaming discourse" sense of course)
In the age of the internet it's easier to condemn unaccepted actions than unacceptable actions. You can point and laugh at a low functioning 20-year-old autistic man having a meltdown in B&Q, avoiding the moral questions raised by onlookers filming him without his consent or not giving the much-needed blame to the parents who raised a child and eventually adult they weren't fit to have, or the society that forces people like him to suppress one of the only methods of emotional communication they have, but a sleazy oil tycoon, tidy; hygenic; well for mental health and from a respectable background, announcing in a quiet board meeting he wants to drill the Amazon River Basin isn't funny, so a leaked recording would never spread.
As I get older, I find it a lot easier to appreciate "bad" shows, games, movies, e.t.c. from an artistic or conceptual level - I see old video game tie-in cartoons less as "taking a paycheck" and more "trying to understand what those whippersnappers like" for example.
There's two dreams I had ages ago that I keep thinking about but never bothered to document until today
- A dream where Angelina Ballerina was a PAL-exclusive Melee character with a unique moveset, and nobody seemed to question or even acknowledge her exclusion from "everyone is here!".
- A dream where I was a detective researching a car crash, and John Kricfaluski was a concerned mother figure constantly hounding me to find out if his kids (who were literally just Ren & Stimpy) were OK.
If I was Sakurai I would've quit Smash the exact moment Nintendo learned they could use it to promote new games.
Really, if I was Sakurai Smash would be very different. In fact Nintendo as a whole would be different - I wouldn't have kept Kirby's placeholder design for one thing.
The idea of a good Nick platfighter has been a dream of mine for almost decades now, so my mind had already kinda normalised the idea of "Nigel Thornberry wavedashing" or "Aang losing the Reptar matchup" long before this was announced - that being said, I made this comment and even then the absurdity of it caught me off-guard once it left my head and arrived on Reddit.
There was once a time where Diddy Kong had more starring roles than Donkey Kong himself.
Even though it's not a competitive stage and that'd kinda defeat the point, I'd love KoF Stadium forms for every stage.
Based Sakurai
If there's one thing I've learned from Smash speculation, it's that "too much evidence" is indeed a reason something won't happen.
Since I was talking about the missing spirits on the comments of my previous status, I figured I should make a mock-up for a "Those Who Remain" spirit event promo image.
I love the fact that when Nintendo made a game specifically for Americans they plastered the word "Cola" over everything to substitute for references to actual American culture.
Still a great game though.
If I had to cut any of the original 12, Captain Falcon would be first on the chopping block - not Jigglypuff.
Watching the DYKGaming video on Epic Mickey a while back got me thinking about what other Epic games based on Disney's core universe they could've made alongside Epic Mickey and Epic Donald.
Epic Pete where you stand in for the many Disney villains, Epic Pluto where you have to rescue Mickey instead of the usual owner-saves-dog plot, Epic Goofy (or hell, even just Epic Max) which swaps the 30s aesthetic for the 90s, so much potential.
Video game consoles during the night:
"How many people do you think will buy your game?"

I'm trying to figure out what tattoo to get. I'm surprised I managed to find more pictures of Voodoo Vince tattoos (2) than PaRappa the Rapper tattoos. (0)
Monkey Ball Banana Mania has had my ideal pre-launch cycle. Not hyping things up big or trying to exploit fans' anxiousness, but giving new content the respect it deserves in trailers. Not hiding behind corporate amiguity, but also leaving a few mysteries and surprises.
ASMR ads make me legit uncomfortable - like, ASMR already comes off to me like the person saying it has malicious intentions, (unless they're Funky Kong) but now they actually do have malicious intentions!
I'm so used to Nintendo's BS that CTRNF having extremely basic developer-player communication back in '19 felt revolutionary to me.
Watching movie reviews is a minefield - sometimes you'll find a review you really agree with, then go to the channel's other videos, see "HOME ON THE RANGE (2021) - DISNEY'S WOKE SWISS SOCIALIST DISASTER?? WHY THE ORIGINAL IS BETTER!" and you're just like
Audiences are no better than critics.
If there were any doubts about the existence of the Mario Mandate before, I think this Daisy voice line thing sets it in stone.
Nintendo are so scared of refunds they made a pre-order system where you don't actually pre-order just to prevent people from getting refunded.
I got this beer advert and only paid half-attention, so it came off less as "accidentally made an uncanny valley ice sculpture" and more as "accidentally killed your friend by turning him into an ice bust" - which, if this were the 90s, would not be a surprising path for an ad campaign to go.
so, is Loop Hero just Lemmings RPG?
We've already entered the "Where's Nick?" phase - next comes the Doug conspiracy theories
It's weird how Nintendo removes the timer from their live streams during the only portion where you actually need the timer - like, not an hour away but also not 10 seconds away.
It's weird to look back on how controversial a Smash pick Pac-Man once was. Of all the third parties who have ever gotten in Smash, Pac-Man is the only one there's literally no downsides to including on paper.
- Sonic's reputation was taking a hit during Brawl's times (and even Melee's to a lesser extent)
- Snake contrasts the world of Smash a little too much and has controversial themes to his games
- Mega Man is only really popular in locations where the NES was popular
- Ryu (and the other FGC characters) run the risk of being too technical
- Cloud and Sephiroth could isolate the console war Ninty fanboys of the 90s
- Bayonetta
- Simon and Richter's ties to real religion and historic literature could be out of place
- Joker comes from a highly controversial and arguably overexposed game with an extremely polarising tone and aesthetic
- Hero has a weird history in localisation that would make it pretty hard for Smash-spawned Western fans to seek out earlier titles.
- Banjo has a notoriously hungry yet picky fanbase who may expect any future Xbox Banio outings to get ported to Switch based on a Smash cameo
- Steve could isolate older fans and has a creator with a history of very unkind remarks to say the least.
Smash speculation threads whenever ActiBlizz are up to their BS again
I don't get the "wife's boyfriend" meme - as in, I can't tell if the joke is that the subject of the meme is oblivious to the cheating in his household, or it's just a really poor taste polygamy joke.
Kid-friendly 90s synthesised pan flute is the greatest musical instrument ever created by humanity
The funny thing about Barnyard is that the franchise is generally really well-liked in every regard except for the movie - but because the movie was its debut, that's how a majority of people view it. Can you imagine if Toy Story was utter doodoo but the SNES game and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command show were considered top class by everyone who looked past the source material to experience them? It's so surreal

Is it just me or is Google UK down?
We need to erase the narrative that collectathons are "objectively better" to linear 3D/corridor platformers
