I love how this trope is so common in Crash games that they had already subverted it by the first game with Koala Kong.
There was a problem fetching the tweet

Comparing old Nintendo (especially Mario) menus to new ones is so depressing - it's like when a TV show or movie has a timeskip and the playful kid and is now a brooding teen

First he sexed up Krystal, then he made Peach into a catgirl, now this?
I kinda feel the next Smash game, if it exists, will have Level 10 CPUs. A lot of SSBU's features and design choices had very early forms in 3DS/Wii U's DLC (Bayo's cancellable taunts and Mario Maker's gargantuan My Music list pop to mind) and Kazuya/Pythra's CPUs absolutely strike me as that.
It's funny how Pichu was supposed to be Melee's joke "embarass your friends at parties!" character but ended up being superior to 15% of the roster - that 15% including the most heavily requested character for the game.
The way they teased Dark Pit and Mr. G&W in 3DS/Wii U weren't really teasers as much as confirmations with no gameplay.
I kinda wish they brought back Mushroomy Kingdom underground for visual variety alone, even if most likely case is that it wouldn't have an Omega.
17 hours and DYKGaming is still yet to reply, I'm getting kinda mad now.
To this day I still don't know whether to love or hate Piranha Plant's inclusion in Smash.
Turns out DYKGaming changed their Email address. I'll resend my inquiry.
Why are there so many YouTube ads that whisper into your ear? They really creep me out.
Did You Know Movies?Jokes aside, it's great to see yourself in stories or even alter them to fit your tastes and experiences better, but don't deny it when people who worked to bring those stories to life say that wasn't the intent - or in the case of Luca, the literal opposite.
Two characters sharing a socially-condemned secret is a common storytelling trope that predates as much as the idea of LGBT people being acceptable by centuries
It's been an hour and DYKGaming still hasn't responded - that being said, their last Tweet was 8 hours ago so if all the DYKGaming guys went to sleep after tweeting that and they wake up at the same time, shouldn't be long.
I have contacted Liam Robertson on Reddit about DYKGaming miscrediting me for
BZocky
's www.Waluigi.com discovery
I know he isn't the guy who runs DYKGaming, and I also have a bit of a grudge against him, but he's also the only Reddit account I can 100% confirm has direct ties to DYKG - a comment I made on the YouTube video was deleted (maybe seem as spam since I put the link in it), the Discord link wouldn't work for me (I have a pretty awkward setup where I use Discord on mobile browser, so server links don't work there - doesn't matter in other cases, I use Discord for PMs) and Reddit is the only place I can easily prove my identity.
Partially on me for not discussing it in the thread, but it's still pretty embarassing they, as professional journalists, didn't check any other frequent Waluigi discussion spaces for previous mentions of the update - and I'm a little mad I got credited for someone else's discovery, even if it meant nothing.
Honestly, I love the term "Scrimblo Bimblo" - it sounds funny and gives a good way to refer to a type of character that it's previously been nigh imposible to quickly make reference to - "cartoon style characters", "cereal box mascots", and "mascot platformers" just don't roll off the tongue and seamlessly fit into a sentence like "Scrimblo Bimblo" and to be frank it's a term I hope the rest of the gaming community adopts outside of Smash, regardless of its outright malicious origins.
Imagine trying to shoot down a request as a "meme character" in a Nickelodeon game.
Wouldn't be me.
Seriously, the whole "X is just a meme" thing is silly enough with Smash where the literal first "newcomer" after the starting roster was Jigglypuff and the big saved-for-last surpise in the second game was a choppily-animated generic man from primitive 80s calculator games, but now we're talking about a game with Ren & Stimpy in it.
The entire staff of Activision-Blizzard and it's sudsidaries could come to my house and waterboard me over and over again, one by one, while laughing and I'd still buy any new Crash games they release.
I would have PTSD flashbacks while playing but still. Make a quality product in my realm of interest and I buy.
You're in the latest Did You Know Gaming? video:
I find it funny how this is considered the objective best MK8 setup, not because of how silly it is but rather because it's an accidental throwback to a certain classic tweet.
I dunno how anyone could think Pac-Land or 75M are worse than TGCO or Yoshi's Island Melee.
Why isn't this iconic Konami character in Smash?
The best thing an influencer can do is donate to charity.
The worst thing an influencer can do is donate to charity publicly.
Making a should-be-obvious exception for fundraisers of course.
nintendo fans when nintendo don't celebrate the anniversary of flingsmash for 6 demi-decades in a row and then release a new flingsmash game on a year ending with 3
FINALLY, JUSTICE AT LAST
Everyone has their own self-diagnosis for Sonic's downfall - when it happened, why it happened, what exactly decreased in quality, so on - but I think this gave me a lot better an understanding of Sonic's modern problems: Sonic makes big money in the West, but the Japanese audience just sees him as Sega's corporate mascot (like Mickey Mouse for Disney over here) - so regardless of dev interests, Sega's higher-ups don't want "good Sonic games" - they just want "Sonic games". While that is just a theory it certainly wouldn't be surprising with SoJ and SoA's history of in-fighting.
"A kids' show being smarter than Rick & Morty" is something people joke and meme about a lot, but to be completely honest there is likely more philosophical depth to and interesting questions raised by the SpongeBob "Alone" scene than the entirety of Rick & Morty.
I got pranked but I'm still not pink?
I WANNA BE PINK
lmao they gave pythra a show on babytv
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm better than you are
So I should do the review
I can understand saying "That'd be marketing suicide!" to say why something won't happen, but not to say something shouldn't happen. "Marketing suicide" is exactly what we as consumers should want. Risk-taking, focus group-condemned content made out of passion for what the creators love, not to sell game copies or film tickets.
Omnipotent God of Fate: "Hold up, Sonic's 3D track record is too good, I'm gonna go back and retroactively make the good one bad."
NintendoLife released these mock-ups of NSO Game Boy... and oh god, this pitifully lazy.
How such simple images can have so many flaws is beyond me. The more you look at that second image the worse it gets - varying saturation from different prints, Pokémon Yellow being placed under Game Boy instead of GBC, the HUD overlap, a two-player option that would at best be inconvenient on Switch, an online option existing at all for a console that's multiplayer almost always relied on two people being able to see one another's screens, Final Fantasy Legend using PAL box art... Not bad as a fun mockup for r/NintendoSwitch, but not what I want to see from a professional gaming news site.
Even though a billion bucks if not more says it's a coincidence, the timing of Nick Brawl being revealed right as Smash fans were getting disillusioned at the over-animefied DLC and the Scrimblo Bimblo drama was reaching a breaking point was absolutely perfect for both fans and the Nick Brawl devs. I've certainly seen a lot less Scrimblo discourse since it was announced.
I've always found the classification of Simpsons as an "adult cartoon" a little questionable.
Not because it has historically been marketed to kids, nor because Ren & Stimpy and Rocko were getting away with way worse on daytime Nickelodeon at the same time (though both are factors), but rather because the show's adult themes are usually mentioned in passing or alluded to but not shown, which is pretty much the same amount of exposure an average real world kid would have to such themes. Plus in the age of streaming and parent review sites it's a lot easier now to filter out the very few episodes that do heavily center around innapropriate or risque themes. In fact I'd argue satirical humour like The Simpsons to be important to teenage development, as it teaches us to question both authority and our peers.
CommonSenseMedia's ages 10+ rating seems on the money, though you could make an argument for a more Lisa-liberal 8+ or a more Flanders-conservative 12+ - though if you agrue anything under 7 or over 13 you're making a Klown out of yourself.
On the Infinite thread we recently did a job to add posters for a customisable house in story mode...
and I must say, my posters certainly stick out a sore thumb - most of them are super cool and epic, you know, things people would actually want on their wall, like these:

![]()

And then mine tend to look like this:

I am absolutely cherry-picking both sides of the coin, I submitted some epic gamer posters and other users submitted cringe baby meme posters, but most of the cringe baby memes were on me.
Just got a YouTube recommendation of a factual video about whales naturally exploding through rigor mortis flatulence.
Imagine showing this image to someone in 1983

"Since when was Donkey Kong Jr. called Diddy Kong?"
Very relatable funni haha meme
I was thinking about fake Pokémon types, and a joke about "Milk Type" quicky evolved into me realising a Dairy Type or Cattle Type would pretty cool. Not sure what strengths and weaknesses it'd have though. -
