Look, most of us don't expect this to be the next EVO sensation and don't care either.
I thought this way before all the gameplay stuff but now? Let's get a true rival to Smash
I'd say if the game does well enough. I don't think it should be an issue but it is releasing between Metroid Dread and Gen 4 Remakes of Pokemon
And both of them are highly anticipated and massively hyped games.
As I said before. Every Metroid is massively hyped. Every Metroid disappoints in sales.
even so, this is gonna be the biggest Metroid game no doubt. It's just that that's not a high bar to clear
People have waiting for Metroid Dread for 19 years, or nearly 2 entire decades! Of course it will be hype.
Except people should be aware of what is shovelware. And it's clear that this game is indeed shovelware. It's made on a miniscule budget, reusing assets from other games, and clearly made to bait people's nostalgia.
And that's also fair. But like, the same could have easily been said for Prime 3 on the Wii. The Wii was also a huge platform where games could have and should have succeeded.
Low budgets and reused assets do not a bad game make. Just look at Slap City by the same devs, aesthetically it's one of the tackiest platfighters out there, but it still has a huge following and an active competitive scene (even if it's not as big as it once was)
Tbf the Wii was a very casual system. If you look at the sales numbers of anything that's not Wii Sports/Fit, Mario or Zelda they drop off very quickly.
There are certain genres where a quantity over quality approach is not only fine, but allows them to include more of people's favorite characters. Intelligent reuse of assets isn't a bad thing, and harms no one.
I was around for the Wii era. This is incredibly tame compared to what I've seen people getting hyped for.
The budget and graphics of a game really doesn't matter as long as the devs are smart enough to make good design decisions - as a certain other network's avian hero always says: work smarter, not harder!
Hasn't Krumm's silhouette been confirmed to just be Nigel Thoenberry doing a handstand? I'm not sure how Krumm would fight given his hands are occupied by his eyes. Lost City of Gold Dora seems like a good pick for representing Nick Jr. without contradicting the brand image - Swiper could've worked too given he's the antagonist and therefore not a role model, but I can settle for this.
You saying that made me realize that Zim is the only villain we have so far, unless you count Ren.
no but Zim is the good guy, Globs of Doom said so /jk
I mean it'd be like saying Godzilla's a villain. You're technically not wrong but he's kinda just an animal.
Hoping for Otis the cow from Barnyard!
Reptar is more of a moraly fluctuating anti-hero, just like the real Godzilla.
Truly the most complex Nickelodeon character.
Move aside, Zuko.
(one even looks like its Galar form)
Ah man, Zuko's probably not gonna be in this unless they decide to triple dip on Avatar.
I feel pretty good about Jenny's chances, she's been in quite a few Nicktoons games, including Super Brawl Universe. She may have missed out on the kart racers but I think they're aware of the outcry for her by now
I sure hope so, she's the only character I'm really holding out for. She'd work perfectly in a game like this.
this one has a lot going for it, if it isn't the best selling Metroid game it would be somewhat disappointing (prime is at 2.8 million)
Only on Tuesday-Sunday
Well that's unfortunate. So I should probably keep my expectations very low for Po and Tigress, and a Madagascar character like Gloria. Now I really want to see if they add Gloria in the game and the devs make her the Bowser of the game, as well as mixing in a bit of Peach like giving Gloria her side special and back throw (assuming they're back throws in NASB).
