if Rayman gets in Smash I really hope they use the Origins/Legends design. I love how expressive it is. That being said, I think we can all agree they shouldn't use the PS1 design.

Biker Wario being default is actually a genius choice from a game design perspective. Giving him a costume highly differentiated from Mario's as his default plants in a new player's head things like "this guy isn't Mario", "this guy isn't trying to be Mario" and overall "don't play this guy like you would Mario."
Mario having no nipples actually makes perfect sense - babies are delivered by stork in the Mario universe, and male nipples only exist in the real world because they're formed before an embryo's sex is decided.
I'd say Ultimate has the worst new stages. I like Spiral Mountain, KoF, Yggdrasil and Spring Stadium - but Garreg is quite possibly the most boring stage in Smash history, Pleateu just feels wrong to play on, New Donk isn't a bad stage but really generic and over-reliant on its music gimmick, Drac is ruined by walls, and Meme Toes is just plain ugly.
Wii U had the best new stages IMO - Umbra Clock Tower, Pac-Land, Duck Hunt, Wuhu Island, Skyloft, Kalos, so many great stages!
I think Nintendo's glitch policy is born out of some sort of embarrassment, as if they want to appear super professional. If they were more like Sega or Activision with their IPs we would've seen MissingNo merchandise long by now.
Oh my god, the reboots are getting worse and worse. We do not need edgy adult Powerpuff Girls.
I've been getting recommended a YouTube channel called "MrMrPizza".
Can you imagine having so few ambitions in life that you choose to rip off MrMrMangoHead?

Even though it's intended entirely sarcastically, "consume product and get excited for next product" is unironically good advice. Don't get worked up about the finer details, just enjoy what you enjoy and don't enjoy what you don't.
Obviously you should speak up if you don't like an element of a game, but you shouldn't let something small impact your enjoyment of a title, and you absolutely shouldn't get mad if a game you don't like sells or reviews well.
If Sonic is indeed light speed, then Green Hill Zone must be a pretty barren place. Imagine how many miles a normal person would take to get to just the little platform at the beginning with the monitor on it.
I'd say the strangest omissions stage wise are Bowser's Castle and Gyromite. BC is basically the Waluigi of stages, it's not really needed but the roster just feels incomplete without it, while Gyromite is more the second Sonic rep of stages in that nobody really knows, or at the very least nobody can justify, why it isn't there already.
I think the name "Duck Hunt" in the NTSC Smash games might be a localisation error - "Duck Hunt", as the Japanese name, lines up with the ICs simply being called "Ice Climber" collectively in Japan. Duck Hunt Duo is a more consistent translation, though I think simply calling them "Duck Hunt" rolls off the tongue better.
Imagine a Smash game with the same amount of dev time as BoTW. That'd be awesome.
There's such a strange, hypocritical juxtaposition to someone with "#BLM" in their Twitter name posting an "FBI open up" meme.

The name "Sour Patch Kids" will always be hilarious to me because it's the least clever pun ever.
"So, we got this new sour candy - what do we call it?"
"Um... Cabbage Patch Kids are popular right now... so we could play off that maybe? I mean, they are shaped like kids after all..."
"Hmm... but there's no element of these kids that rhymes with "cabbage" or "patch", how can we make the pun?"
"We either cash in on the trend or we don't make the candy. End of!"
"Well, I can work with that! I can work with that! don't worry boss! how's um... er... well... how's "Sour Patch Kids" sound?"
"You're promoted! we'll begin making the PR materials tomorrow, and go into print in 2 months"
I think revamps should be first and foremost to help characters' gameplay-wise, sure it'd be fun to see Mario toss Cappy or DK throwing barrels, but it's more important to make Ness or Sonic less toxic for example.
A battle arena I was in shut down, and I think it may have to do with the stage I chose

It's really weird how Inkling wasn't part of 3DS/Wii U's DLC. The only valid reason I can think of is that the ink might not work on the 3DS or Wii U 8-player,
Honestly I'd be all for a Daisy starring role. Go off SML1's concepts and make it a desert-themed alien B-movie sort of game, and play up Daisy's hyperactive irrational side instead of just being another pretty princess.
I'm a Mii main (Maiin? Miiain? Miin?), but even I wish some other fighters would get the same love
I feel we as a society should all unanimously come together to agree that Daisy should've been in Super Mario 3D World.
The Yoshi series is such an anomaly in the Nintendo catalogue - everyone complains about there being no new Wario Land games, but that's way better than being stuck in eternal limbo between mediocre and decent like Yoshi is. Not counting puzzle games, there are literally only two truly good Yoshi games (SMW2 and Woolly World - and even then SMW2 is the only one that compares to other Nintendo hits), which is a right shame given Yoshi has such a unique world and playstyle. At least Sonic still gets good games every now and then, and his bad games are easy to make a mockery out of - Yoshi is simply doomed to mediocrity, and he deserves much better.
Why do all these adult sci-fi cartoons have anthropomorphic cats with yellow eyes in them?
Thinking something will be awful, watching the spoilers, and realising it's pretty good. A classic first world problem of the internet age.
Considering Daxter and Clank both got their own spin-offs, I bet if Banjo-Kazooie continued as a major franchise we would've had a Kazooie solo role by now.
Classic Sonic should be the design used in Smash and this is the (green) hill I will die on
Why didn't they localise Fall Guys to Autumn Guys in - wait, you've heard that joke before? dammit...
I never got the logic behind dismissing something as a "vocal minority". If they're the VOCAL minority then they're the ones who feel strongest, and will therefore be the most happy if their requests are met.
Imagine if Sakurai just gave an open apology for Byleth's inclusion on an official Nintendo stream, and revealed a free apology bonus for everyone who brought FP1 before Byleth's announcement - it could be some returning stages, it could be an echo fighter, anything really. I think if Nintendo and Sakurai simply admitted fault everyone would be happy - except the "hoes mad" guys... but yeah, they deserve to have their schadenfreude bomb blow up in their faces

Nowadays people tend to treat 2D the same way people did 3D in the 90s. Had Cuphead come out on the PS1 or PS2 with the same quality of animation it'd be nowhere near as acclaimed - which, I should mention, IS a bad thing.
It's great that people now can appreciate 2D animation and the time that goes into it (even if that's mostly because Disney stopped doing 2D), and Cuphead 100% deserves the praise.
Even if the Hazards-Off form only turned off the Yellow Devil and not the platforms, Wily Castle would be a terrible competitive stage, some platforms move way too fast and some are dangerously close to the blast zone.
Film Theory: when Pixar were making the Good Dinosaur they didn't actually know dinosaurs never lived alongside humans so they added the no meteor plot point halfway through production. It's happened before, Disney didn't know lions don't live in the jungle when they made the Lion King so they had the change the title.
I'm not trying to be "PI" or edgy, but I really don't get where the idea of Punch Out being racist came from. Stereotype =/= racist, most Punch Out characters' stereotypical traits are shown to be positive in battle, for example: Don Flamenco's dancing skills let him dodge a punch, Great Tiger uses his magic for unpredictable attacks, e.t.c. - there's no blackface or conical hats (you can play Pro Wrestling for that, now THAT'S a problematic Nintendo game), it's more just a loving jab to other cultures, like siblings mocking one another.
truth be told I'd love to see a British character in a future Punch Out game, as a Brit myself I love the stereotype of Brits as polite tea-lovers who don't care for dental hygiene. (That last part is very true BTW. British teeth are just as horrible IRL as they are on the Simpsons)
I can guarantee that in the future, current Sony, MS and Nintendo fans will agree all 3's now-modern consoles are great. The teens of the 90s now respect both Mario and Sonic regardless of which marketing tricks they fell for, and the teens of nowadays will eventually honour Kratos, Mario, and Master Chief the same way.
That being said, just like the Jaguar before it, they'll all "gather round" to laugh at the Stadia in retrospective. Poor, poor Stadia.
I'm working on a concept for a game starring one of my OCs - while I'm thinking more "Pac-Man World 1" for gameplay, it's going to be a sorta EarthBoundy deal plot wise, beginning off lighthearted and slowly turning dark, while keeping the same themes throughout instead of a "shocking" bait-and-switch. I should note the main villain is called "Goliath Richards", a very immature name for a villain, I know. -
