Where did that Pokemon Trainer Club poll about revealing the starter evos come from? I'm not finding anything about it.

 

[NabiscoFelt]

Clearly this means Klonoa will release on the same day as Xenoblade to copy how Katamari ****ing flopped

I will never understand the decision to release anything on the same day as Smash Ultimate, much less a fairly niche game. I'm half convinced it was intentional self sabotage.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Good morning. Good morning y'all.

And how is everyone doing on this fine day?

Friendship ended with supporting Agumon for Smash
Now Klonoa is my Namco rep of choice

I just thought up a parody of “Prince Ali” from Aladdin about Mario called “Prince Mari”. But he’s just self aggrandizing because he has a massive ego.

Am I wrong in thinking that Mario has a bigger Ego than Tony Stark and Daffy Duck combined?

Eh, I think Mario’s a pretty humble guy. All things considered.

He doesn’t seem the egotistical type. That’s more Wario’s deal. Considering they’re opposites and all.

Hopefully from the 1994 animated classic and not the lifeless soulless live-action film as with many of the others which starred an giant CGI blue smurf.

Gonna be real with you, I saw it the other day and I didn’t think it was that bad.

Not as good as the original, not by a long shot. But I thought it was alright. One of the better live action remakes. It got a couple laughs outta me, Will Smith was funny.

Splatterhouse is rather cool to see. The original games were creepy. That said, I'll wait and see what happens rather than assume they are remasters.

Doing ok. Just preparing for life things.

Agreed. Mario's not normally arrogant or self-centered. Granted, he's got far more confidence than his brother Luigi, but outside of that one oddly random bout of jealousy in Mario Power tennis, Mario's not one to be arrogant or egotistical on a normal basis, at least in the games.

And that's fine if you enjoyed it that's for you. I on the other hand prefers to stick to the animated classics.

Yeah I prefer the animated movie too, I’m probably not gonna watch the live one again.

Just think it doesn’t deserve as much hate as utter **** like Beauty and the Beast 2017

On another note...

3 more days (2 more days if counting screenings) until Ad Astra y'all!!!!

 

[kirbsmash]

Mario just is a nice guy, no ego really. Use Wario, SnakeFighter64 .

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Underwater, My Spy, Bloodshot, Godzilla vs. Kong, Scoob!, Fast and Furious 9, Wonder Woman 1984, The Jungle Cruise, Uncharted.

Next year is looking out to be as many movies to look forward to as this year was!

Oh good lord

2019 is almost over...

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Then next year I have Masters of the Universe, Mortal Kombat, Fast and Furious 10, Doctor Strange 2, Jurassic World 3, The Batman (Due to Matt Reeves directing), Indiana Jones 5, The Suicide Squad (Due to James Gunn directing).

Almost just as much movies as next year.

I don't really see ego. Mario's just a dude living the life and occasionally saving the princess. RPGs typically depict him as a good role model to children and a Samaritan to everybody around him, and I rarely see him using his status as a hero to treat people as below him. He literally stops his busy schedule to go play toys with a kid in Super Mario RPG.

I think the only thing I saw that made him look like a jerk is in the sports game where he steps on Luigi's shoe when he wins a trophy. That's really it, and given how he saved his world more than one time (which is more than enough for any man), it's kind of hard to weigh that against him.

Compare that to Wario where he commits clear theft, breaking and entering, rights stealing, acts of terrorism, vandalism, disrespecting holy grounds, etc. He doesn't really benefit the bigger picture to make up for it either.

I feel the same man. I still feel this year just started and look where we are now. Probably the only thing I hate about growing up. >_<

Though on the bright side at least don't have to wait for movies and games you look forward to very long like myself with Godzilla vs. Kong currently.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Mario stepping on Luigi’s shoe is out of character for him, really.

edit: dang, just watched it, that’s a lot of jealousy. I’d say the team just handled his character badly, I’d think he’d be proud for his brother.

My associating Mario with Ego is probably just a reflection of my views on the company in general. I hold the same opinion about the mouse.

Has no one ever heard of Sibling Rivalry? Especially the all-in-good-humor/nature kind?

Or is no one going to question about how in Mario Party 2, Luigi suddenly got a huge ego boost and was the one after Wario to start arguing with Mario about the Land's name after he was fine with Mario Land the first time around?

The scene in Mario Power Tennis really doesn't need to be made such a big deal.

 

[Gyrom8]

Mario might have a bit of ego but it's nothing excessive

Now Wario on the other hand ... his whole shtick is that he's a twisted version of Mario. So where Mario collects coins on the way to the Princess, for Wario, it's all about the treasure - if he happens to save a princess or a kingdom on the way, then whatever.

And while Mario goes 'it's a-me', indicating he kind of knows he's a big deal, one of Wario's lines in Mario Kart 8 is literally 'WARIO ... THE LEGEND'

I mean even then, I wouldn't call Nintendo more "egotistical" than any other company. Back in the NES and SNES days when they had a ton of draconian business practices? Maybe. But from the N64 onward after so many third parties jumped ship to the PlayStation, they've mellowed out considerably.

What exactly is your opinion on Nintendo? I assume it's negative, judging from your tone.

Talk with y'all later. Off to my house to cut the grass one final time this year.

Don’t wanna open that can of worms again. Just look back at my post history. I’ve said this stuff hundreds of times

 

[Noipoi]

Look all I’m sayin is I was born and raised on Nintendo and they’ve never steered me wrong.

I just looked, and you haven't mentioned it anytime in the last 3 days.(I'm not going to look thru your entire post history obviously)
It can't be that unpopular of an opinion, right?
(I mean, we are on a Nintendo-based forum, so idk)

 

[Deleted member]

Same here. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Nintendo has always, and will always, lead the gaming industry as a whole.

 

[Deleted member]

I just remembered the reason why I spelled my username "Bakugan2556" was to spell "BakuganBEEF"(2=B 5=E 6=F)

What's really ironic is I didn't really have any beef, so to speak, with Bakugan UNTIL the reboot.(It was just the first word that came to mind when I thought of my username)

So, I guess you could say I have Beef with Bakugan(**** I can't think of a better way to present that without it coming off as cringe. oh well.)

I think they’re arrogant. They know they can just slap their name or Mario or Pikachu or Link or whatever on something and it will make billions. They have so much stockpiled cash that they can basically just do whatever they want. Their games have no unique personality and are only popular because of nostalgia. And their guaranteed success chokes out competition because people get mad when other people even dare to try their hands at certain genres that Nintendo have a monopoly on. They are a toxic company that needs to be knocked down so the rest of the industry can thrive.

And now you can see why I didn’t want to bring this up again. So let’s just leave this here and move on.
