Same here, Pokemon Sword & Shield are my most anticipated game of the year and definitely a Day 1 buy for me and can't wait for the June 5th direct for new Pokemon and information.
First Sora, now Rayman.
Oh I would freaking love a Let's Go Johto game!!!
Glad to hear that you enjoy it! I had a similar situation with Pikmin 1 and Zombies Ate My Neighbours - I don't sell my games any more as a result of that.
Oh Banjo-Kazooie & Banjo-Tooie are two of my all-time favorite games! I've played them countless times but I only had Banjo-Kazooie on Xbox Live Arcade until recently and my original copy of Banjo-Tooie is still intact with my initials still on it lol. So playing through them again is just a trip down nostalgia lane for me and hopefully it'll bring some good luck towards the beloved backpacking bear and bird buddies as we gear up for E3 ^^ I've been able to play through Banjo-Kazooie easy-breezy! Although Mr. Vile is a red-pimpled butthole and I hate his damn minigame lol much harder than I remember it being haha
That world left me flabbergasted when I was a kid. A world that changed and evolved with the seasons. It added new challenges which required a shift in strategy to obtain the required collectibles.
It's the sand lol, was a problem for me too as a kid. But yeah freaking Click Clock Wood blew my mind as a kid. It seems like such an innocuous final world at first glance, but when I entered the Spring part for the first time and heard that catchy as heck melody and saw the giant tree in front of me that I would have to climb, I was completely blown away. What an amazing time to be an 8-year old haha
I just took Click Clock Woods one season at a time, from what I recall. (edit: might have misinterpreted what you meant by flabbergasted) What makes Gobi's Valley so tough? (it's been a while)
Was dealing with that all last night haha, actually surprisingly the engine room never bothered me but last night it was giving me trouble lmao but it's so worth it when the world right after it is Click Clock Wood.
The sky is dark and there is a storm and thunder brewing hundreds of green energy blasts and a handful of lightning bolts begin to fall from the sky (along with Grunty's cackle in the background) and crash to the floor. The Banjo-Kazooie finl boss theme is playing and Gruntilda's minions come charging out of them like an army with various villains like Ganondorf, Bowser and Meta-Knight commanding their own group. Also with cameo's of some Banjo-Tooie bosses. The alliance of smash characters get ready to fend off her army. As they are charging towards each other ready to clash, Banjo & Kazooie swoop down and crash through the army using their wonderwing.
Traversing the world and the sand I'd have to say like Zoologist pointed out. Considering it's the n64 version, notes that are collected have to be recollected after death which compounds on the difficulty. That and I try to go relatively quickly across levels, so it's more prone to mistakes I guess.
So Rayman is the next Chrom and will be in Smash 6.
Playing as a middle-schooler on the N64, that was the very last jiggy I had to obtain to 100% the game (and I eventually did). That was absolutely the toughest get back then.
Rayman is definitely one of my top picks for a third-party newcomer. I didn't play any of his games growing up but after watching a video showcasing how much potential his moveset could have, plus his neat cartoony design, I would absolutely love to see him in a future Smash.
I'd strongly recommend Rayman Origins or Rayman Legends. Those games are some of the most buttery-smooth platformers that I've ever played (both in terms of art and gameplay), and they basically give you an entire moveset for Smash on their own.
Maybe once Rayman gets his foot in the door in Japan and Nintendo can find a way to make a proper Amiibo for him, Rayman could finally join Super Smash Bros.
I recently beat Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie on the N64 last year around the holidays for their 20th anniversary and anticipation for Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
Good point on the amiibo front. Having unattached limbs like he does makes an amiibo difficult to realize effectively, but not impossible.
Those are the only Rayman games I've played and yes, they are fantastic. Rayman would be a fun addition to Smash but I worry he's not high-profile enough. Yes, he's allegedly Ubisoft's mascot, but how often do they actually take him out of mothballs? When I hear Ubisoft, I think Assassin's Creed first and Rayman second.
I would think we're probably only getting one fighter announced at E3. Makes sense. #2 - June, #3 - August, #4 - October, #5 - December. Doesn't have to always be two months a part, but shows it's a manageable time frame spread out, and also has a two month leeway from the final deadline. Could be June, September, December, February for all we know.
What do you mean by that?
FFS. These people are making it really easy to hate on Steve. I guess that makes me a "Boomer".
Solid burn. I must also contribute this.
It's a meme to claim that someone who doesn't gobble up the latest pop culture is a boomer.
I blame the "30 year old boomer" meme for that perception.
I mean I'm already not a fan of Steve because I think Minecraft is better represented via stage, spirits, and a mii costume. One of the fans of the character being an ass doesn't help anything
Nintendo and Ubisoft are doing a wild amount of business together. Ubisoft have wanted Rayman in Smash before, and him being in would only further solidify their relationship with Nintendo.
What could be the alternative to this? Because by the look of this Tweet they responded suggests that they aren’t involved with this (1st) Fighter Pass, does this mean they are being reserved for the next DLC?
I mean. Their only fuel is that Steve could be in. Once he does get in they have no fuel anymore when all of us move on. Their trolling is only effective in the speculation cycle. Why would we care about petty fan wars when we know we “lost”.
Rayman is like Megaman. Sure many people would think of Resident Evil before Megaman, but Megaman is the companies pride and joy, and one of the first IPs that put them on the map. (I also like to think of him as their all-around mascot whereas Ryu is mostly their fighting game mascot.) I don't know any Ubisoft IP that made an impact before Rayman hit the scene. It was one of their first biggest properties. The biggest thing hurting his chances is like what others said, he's basically a nobody in Japan. Of course, Erdrick is basically a nobody everywhere except Japan so maybe Sakurai can help both of those characters' exposure where they are needed.
This is a huge relief to me; one of my biggest fears was that Gregg Mayles would gatekeep Banjo due to his apparent disinterest in the franchise. So the decision is out of his handsSo, Gregg Mayles did indeed comment on the situation, a little less than a year ago:
I don’t think this is the “business” approach people believe Nintendo are taking though. It’s more a matter of Nintendo wanting the dlc picks to draw in new audiences. Which Rayman wouldn’t really do, as awesome as it would be
