Also as a F-Zero fan. I'm not as desperate for a new game. I just want either X or GX ported to 3DS and Wii U/NX.

That's better than nothing and newer fans get to experience true speed and perfection in both of those games.

I think we all know what fanbase we should all really be feeling sorry for.

Legacy Collection isn't enough
You got a cartoon and movie coming up. That means games are coming out. That's better than most franchises.

I'm actually convinced Legacy Collection was an attempt to kickstart the series again, seeing if people would buy it and then make new games

That's what they want you think.
Then the cancelling begins.

Mega Man hasn't had a new game of his own in only 5 years. Other franchises have it worse.

Meanwhile, the last Crash Bandicoot game that wasn't cancelled or mobile was released in 2008. Heck, Japan hasn't gotten a new Crash installment since that awful Mario Party clone on DS in 2006.

The only Megaman game I'm sad got cancelled was Legends 3, I could take or leave it the rest.

Universe didn't look great and I don't even know what to think of Maverick Hunter.

Can we stop complaining about Other M and Federation Force?

This constant complaining is why Metroid got so high on that bad fan bases poll.

You're not impressing anyone when you birch about stuff. Especially when it's a video game.

Other M didn't entirely **** up. It got Ridley right in almost every way. The only problems I had where the beak and Ridley being a Pokemon

Great way to take the elm, Swamp, since it maple the discussion away from Other M bashing. That way we can spruce up the public's perception and treet Metroid fans like they wood want. I'm Sycamore Other M/Federation Force hate discussion.

:p

Ridley was based off a metamorphosis.
Which animals do in real life.

Real life animals don't go from chicken-lizard-dragon. I also admit that Other M actually looks great, especially for a Wii game
It makes sense, though. Birds are effectively modern dinosaurs, so the evolutionary metamorphosis there would make sense if it effectively reverted back to its old form, but stronger. Dragon is then the next logical step after dinosaur.

Speedy, sure, but Ridley's a highly advances species, so they have a bit of leeway, IMO.

I'm surprised people still complain about the latter.
It's been like, what, 3 months since its announcement? No idea as to why people waste their time complaining.

And I wish I can pretend Other M doesn't exist but as a Sonic fan, I can't pretend 06 doesn't exist
In fairness, yes you can, since Sonic '06 itself pretends Sonic '06 doesn't exist. :p

You know, since they blow out the flame at the end and so the entire game never actually ended up happening.

Also, why is it that every time somebody brings up a long hiatus in a game franchise (or with anything, really, including TV shows and movies) people compete to figure out which fanbase is most deserving of that? 8 years is a long time. 10 years is also a long time. Multiple fanbases are allowed to be disappointed at the same time.

No we get other odd things like frogs and insects. But Ridley isn't a real animal. If we can accept bird people, giant brains and floating jellyfish than you can accept a slightly abnormal metamorphosis.

Yeah and just like Gil, Santana is a piece of ****.


I'm more for balance patches because seriously Sakurai needs to bring back pre patch Mac and buff Marth, Falco, Palutena, Mewtwo, Samus and Zelda
I agree but I feel like Zelda or Palutena won't get anything meaningful in the end. Zelda is just a mess of a character that requires a total overhaul (like Project M), and considering Palutena already becomes better through custom moves (which is her thing), Sakurai probably thinks she's good enough with them on and doesn't need any major adjustments (to be fair, lightweight and superspeed would be absurd on someone who's already a really good character)...even though they basically don't exist in a competitive context oops

Someone like Samus could be salvaged by fixing her hitboxes, giving her killing throws worth a damn, etc but I think the above alformentioned characters would probably require too much work for Sakurai and his team to properly balance.

You thought Little Birdie was cute?

Regardless, it makes it more unnerving to me.

No, Sonic definitely has a worse fanbase, no seriously just look at this.

I guess it's Badass Adorable to me. Besides, look at how Little Birdie falls on his butt when introduced. Truly unnerving and menacing
It's unnerving because this cute thing grows up to be as evil as possible.

Can't get a read on it.

It's just so ****ing dumb, especially as Ridley's a unique Nintendo villain
'I want to kidnap the princess and marry her!'
'I want to steal bananas!'
I want to rule the world!'
'I kill people for ****s and giggles and I want to massacre the inferior'

You said that Metroid has a bad fanbase, so I showed you a worse one.
That's all down to opinions really though I share the sentiment that the Sonic fanbase is a lot worse than Metroid's.

Well, all Swamp said was that there was a reason Metroid was highly ranked among bad fanbases. A worse fanbase doesn't technically debunk or really affect what he said at all.

And in fairness, while the sort of thinking he uses is symptomatic of the problems in the Sonic fanbase and I'd definitely argue that that fanbase is one of the worst, that video itself only proves that people do embarrassing things when they're younger, which I think most of us have already proved at some point or another.

That'd doesn't actually disprove what I said though. That's like yeah Bush was a bad leader but Hitler was worse.

See how ridiculous that is?

But that makes him more unique. And cuteness doesn't actually change his personality.
