Now I feel like contributing to this Geno discussion.

Geno's only benefactor is his popularity. He is, essentially, in the same spot as any other RPG partner Mario has had as a character, except he isn't owned by Nintendo. That's the thing, too - with how Square Enix has used none of those Mario RPG assets, you'd think it'd be really easy for Nintendo to negotiate getting the rights back if they really wanted them. But they haven't, and Square Enix hasn't utilized them.

There's no way getting around the fact that he's an unused asset that couldn't even find his way into Mario Baseball. That's not a good sign for his future.

I mean, the strapping young Koopa in my avvy probably has a better chance of being playable than Geno.

I just learned of the horror that is Sonic Dreams Collection.

Look it up at your own risk.

I saw @ AreJay25 AreJay25 bring this song up a few pages back.
Why do they never include the Olympic remixes in Smash.
This works so well on the Galaxy stage.
Oh that new Olympics soundtrack has me so hyped.
IIRC Sega did the Mario remixes and vice versa.

Sega should musically collaborate with Nintendo more often.

Star Hill. Why do you ask?
I hope they decide to bring Mega Man Universe back from the dead

Wait, so Geno's more recognizable and popular because he's on the internet? Let's ignore how Shantae actually has her own games which are all critically acclaimed and the fact that, oh I don't know, Shantae exists on the internet too
Geno was bigger than her on the internet i am not saying she doesnt exist but she wasnt huge as Geno if we are comparing Geno in brawl days and Shantae in smash 4 days, but hey it wasnt only about smash, and as i said the internet is way bigger than the wiiu/wii owners. also you should remember that Geno has been here way before Shantae exist wich means the old generation knows about him
that movie is STILL regarded. Just because it isn't plastered all over mainstream Disney media doesn't mean it isn't memorable and regarded.
thats what am i saying, still being memorable and recongnizable even if people doesnt talk about as much they did in the past.
Yeah just finished watching Death Battle, fights fine, still isn't accurate though. Also @ Cutie Gwen Cutie Gwen your right that DK sprite is ugly.



I'm going let you know about something dude, most of Europe doesn't speak English, so Geno being well known on American sites that has users from Europe, still isn't going to change the fact Shantae is going to be recognised by Europeans, since she had her games released and translated into those languages, so more people will be more familiar with her, simply because they have her game in their language. Also when Europe found out about SMRPG, we didn't want it because of Geno, we wanted it because its Mario as RPG having been made by Squaresoft, who made Final Fantasy, that made a lot of see the game has being an awesome blend between Platformers and RPGs
i have seen videos about Geno from European he is kinda recognizeble there but not as much as the other places, also there is another game called MLSSS that has released worldwide wich has Geno in it before VC, i know they didnt buy it because of Geno and its because its awesome and it was their chance to play it and discover it.

I thought Dreams collections was similar to the likes of Mega and Gems.
How horribly, Horribly wrong I was.......:c

The remixes are great. They come out sounding amazing in these games.
Hell even the actual Olympic songs sound good most of the time.
Take the 100M dash from the original for example:

I love how you use 'was bigger than Shantae' instead of 'is bigger than Shantae'. Dude, what the **** are you typing? Use punctuation for once, not being English isn't an excuse for lack of punctuation. Shantae's fans are on the internet, and these days, she has more support than Geno. Just because Geno was about 8 years earlier doesn't mean that old gamers know him, especially as Europe didn't get Geno till SSS. The only memorable thing about Geno these days is how you constantly praise him and stitch your fingers in your ears. You clearly don't know what recognizable means if you're using one of many videos. Yes, Geno's cameo in which he told you how to play an optional minigame was SOOOOO similar to his role in SMRPG.

Sonic Dreams Collection is, in fact, the best thing of all time.

Oh. Geno. My favorite.

Honestly I didn't think it was that bad. But I did get that feeling of "I want to be a meme! Please let me be a meme!" from it.

It's mostly gonna be filled with Kaizo wannabes and meme stages but if I ever try out this game is mostly for the stages with a music maker ability

I really hope people try to make interesting, unique and fun to play levels (like the original games) and not just crazy, chaotic, nearly impossible to complete levels. The high skill stages will be cool, but that's never what the Super Mario Bros. series was about. I truly fear it will end up being a 'who can top this?' contest of utter madness.


Just curious, is invisible coin blocks a thing in Mario Maker?
That's a good question. I really hope they are. I'd be disappointed if Nintendo somehow neglected (or simply forgot!) to include this popular staple of the Mario series.

I can't wait to see the first stages that play an entire song as you don''t have to do anything. Although I'm scared of seeing the levels that are inspired by those SMB Hard Romhacks.

So... no one finds it weird that Mario will be able to transform into Bowser? lol
This is a franchise where an Italian plumber saves a princess of mushroom people from a turtle king.
It's less weird and more par for the course really.

Juri's Feng Shui Engine does fit perfectly with the new V-Trigger system but yeah I don't think tweet means much, I've never seen anything come out of them.

But hey wishful thinking.

Just so yo know Shantae is going to be more recognised worldwide since she has released in all regions at least, where as the game Geno is in didn't come to Europe until after Brawl, and on the Wii VC and not everyone in Europe used the VC on the Wii.
Shantae is a niche series, and a worldwide release doesn't change that.

Juri is great, but Evil Ryu would feel like such a waste. Especially if Akuma is in, which he probably is.

You're confusing Ono for Ed Boon for tweets. It means nothing.

Sounds familiar doesn't it.
SAKURAI TWEETED A PIC OF THE MONADO. SHULK CONFIRMED
To be fair, that tweet is REALLY hilarious in hindsight. lol

But yeah, I wouldn't take this as an indirect confirmation.

EDIT:
Doesn't Juri have something so she can combo anything and everything? I'll try to main her if I get the game
Close to that. Many of her normal attacks which normally need to be linked (tight timing) become chains and cancelable so she can almost combo anything. It may change juggle properties but cant remember.

I remember when he tweeted a bunch of his figures of nintendo characters fighting, one of them was Dark Pit.

Yeah I think E.Ryu is one of the last shotos they would add period. Hell, Akuma himself is a kind of a stretch for the initial 16 as it is.

I think that might've been before the point where Dark Pit was promoted to his own character slot, though.
