I definitely wouldn't say you're lame! You're just better at controlling your hype reaction than some of us, ha ha.Most wanted: Dixie, with Banjo-Kazooie being a close second.
And I'd probably react with just a smile and some excitement. That was basically the extent of my reaction to two of my favorite reveals in Smash (Cloud in Smash 4 and "Everyone is Here", particularly when it showed Wolf return). I was in disbelief during the former and just really pumped and smiling during the latter.
I don't really get the whole "freak out and break a nearby shelf" thing. No screaming, crying, jumping around etc. Guess I'm just lame like that.
I've wanted K. Rool for a decade and spent the better part of the ballot era actively campaigning for him and arguing for him, not to mention that Nintendo flat out erased the character from his home series. As a lifelong fan of the Donkey Kong series, I found the way its villain was treated inexcusable and after him being MIA for so long, there wasn't a better way for the character to return. Should go without saying I'm also a huge fan of Smash, so seeing him cemented to me that this game truly earned its title of Ultimate, and that from now on, I can safely say all of my longterm Smash requests have been fulfilled.I don't really get the whole "freak out and break a nearby shelf" thing.

I'm usually not like that either and have NEVER been that way EXCEPT for K.Rool because of the things StormC said above me. YEARS of waiting, online arguments, Nintendo's wack handling of the character as well as the DK franchise after Rare left as a whole just made me grow more and more emotionally attached after years. King K. Rool is my favorite Nintendo villain. He holds a very emotional and nostalgic place in my heart.I don't really get the whole "freak out and break a nearby shelf" thing.

That's a really nice story. Sorry about the loss of your mom, but I totally feel you in many ways. My own mom played a lot of games with me when I was younger on the N64 and Gamecube, and I have some good memories of those times. I have my own sentimental attachments to a lot of games that now receive love in Smash.I'm usually not like that either and have NEVER been that way EXCEPT for K.Rool because of the things StormC said above me.

I've told this story on here before. But my mom who passed away a few years back when I was 17 didn't like videogames that much. The thing I was most passionate about she couldn't get into (she was more of a movie buff) HOWEVER she LOVED the N64. Some of my fondest memories growing up was playing Mario Party 2, Mario Kart 64, and DK64's multiplayer with her and my siblings. My mom was disabled bed bound most of her life and we didn't have many TV's in the house. So she decided to watch me play DK64 when there was nothing on TV and she fell in LOVE with the game. She loved everything about it, the collectibles, the music, the worlds, the story, everything and she was always fascinated with K.Rool. She adored him in the game. So he holds a special part in my heart for that reason and I'm still sad she didn't live long enough to see him join Smash. While she didn't care for Smash, I know she would've been happy to see K.Rool in there. So yeah of course I'm gonna have an emotional reaction when I see him re-appear after being MIA for 10 years.
I mean, we're the same age.I think my lack of reaction comes from me just getting older and just acquiring more self-control.
Haha I wouldn't say I'm too old to get excited. Far from it. If I was, I wouldn't be spending my time on these boards anticipating this game.I mean, we're the same age.
If there is a certain minimum threshold for "being too old to get excited about things," then I don't ever want to cross it. My mother is in her 60s and is a rabid Pokemon Go fan. I've almost never seen her get as hyped up as when she catches a shiny legendary with perfect stats.
I'm not much of a reactor either lol but I still get excitedWhile K.Rool got me hyped I could never see myself going to Etika or Obiwan levels of extreme in the reaction department. Like I said NO character could ever get me as hyped as Rool. I'd rather die than to get to something like this over a Smash character:
I don't think excitement is entirely dulled by age, I haven't been very excitable for many years and I haven't even been around very long. Either I'm boring or it's a person to person thing. Or you can be Etika and pretend to get hyped over everything so that people give you views and make memes about you. Wait don't read that last sentence.I mean, we're the same age.
