I'm playing the GBA Medabots game that came out back in the day, and the entire reason bought this collection, i wanted a legit copy of this again lol


The real reason is money, but i always kinda assumed the technical reason was because base Sun and Moon was rushed heavily for the 20th anniversary and Ultra is just the content they couldnt fit in regularly..
I mean, it's always about money, but given the next gen went the DLC route for extra content, a part of me wonders if they wanted to make DLC for SuMo but 3DS Limitations forced ot to be a new game.

So time for another pfp change to Spike at last. About six episodes away from finishing Cowboy Bebop and all I can say at the moment is that episode 16-18 was pretty amazing.

And now as an added bonus, went back to the game photography for the first time in a month there. Two wonders from Shadow of the Colossus:

Tagging @Lamperouge and Wademan94 Wademan94 since I'm going back to this my friends.
One of the greatest games ever made.

These are art, my friend. You have a great talent for this!

Again, I don’t think Unleashed was bad, just rather misguided. It really wasn’t sure what it wanted to do with the Werehog levels and just ended up using them to throw nonstop enemies at you with light platforming. Colors may be slower and a little unambitious but at the very least it new what it was going for. The double jump in Colors saved the game imo and while some people don’t prefer Sonic to be a sole platformer it definitely deserves its spot among Generations and Mania as being the best the series has to offer.

No no, the new argument is that the game will be a dumpster fire because the frame rate is wonky on background Pokémon.
Game isn't 120 FPS with RTX raytracing and didn't include the entire NatDex plus 500 new Pokemon with every Pokemon region included?

WHAT THE HECK!!!????!!! GameFreak is LAZY and INCOMPETENT. I could make something better than them, but I won't because I don't know how. But I play video games a lot, which translates to knowing 100% better than people who make them for a living!

In this 500 page essay, I will study every single polygon on Pikachu's model to PROVE that GameFreak has been lying to you, and by studying this 0.1 clip of animation here in a 35 minute video, I will EXPOSE them for the frauds they are.

TPC's goin' down for this one, boys! They have no way of stopping a boycott like us: There are dozens of us! DOZENS! THEY WILL BE FORCED TO HEAR OUR VOICE AND MAKE CHANGES FOR THE PEOPLE! FOR THE POKEMON!

NOW GO SPAM A FUNNY HASHTAG AND HARRASS DEVELOPERS ON TWITTER!

I just wish Sonic wasn't so Heavy in colors. If they could do Sonic Colors but with Generations controls then it would be heaven.
I can’t believe FP10 and 11 are just Hero and Banjo again.
Crash and Lloyd. E3 2021.

The sad thing about the whole SwSh debacle is that the detractors had a point about SwSh's quality.

And then it got hijacked and everything came crashing down to one note arguments on both sides of the spectrum.
At a certain point it wasn’t about making actually arguments for or against the game, it became about insulting those who thought differently than you.

Hope that doesn’t happen again:090:


People said the same thing about Banjo last pre-E3 season. Just saiyin.
Banjo had legit evidence in his favor though.

Like what? Everybody says that he had evidence but from what I can tell the leakers didn't start saying anything till day of and there could have been any number of reasons they'd be doing new merch. And like... come on man. There's no reason it WON'T be Crash other then the fact that a lot of people want it to happen which apparently counts now.

Shinobi did his "Smashing good time" leak several days before E3. THAT is what got everyone excited. Up to that point, everyone was just going "Erdrick E3? Erdrick E3."

Banjo was hinted at by a prominent leaker with a history of accuracy a good week or so before E3.

And there could be a million reasons for Crash or Lloid not happening, they’re just reasons we don’t know about.

Really? I don't remember that being discussed here. I just remember it being a ****storm of "BANJO IS IRRELIVENT! STEVE 5EVAH!" every time I brought him up.

The last two characters are the biggest love letters to all of gaming as a whole. Yep, they liked the idea of Mr. Game and Watch and his love letter to old school LCD games, so they wanted to continiue on that.

Yep, that's right, we're getting Mrs. Shovelware and NB. Indie.

I think I spoke too soon when I said this job was easy.

The moment I finish my current quene of riders, another 50 take their place, and I’ve been needing to pee for hours now yet haven’t had a chance to actually to go to the bathroom until now.

Granted, it’s not as hard as I expected, and some of it can be chalked up to pure coincidence, but it do be like that sometimes.

I think the evidence was that there was Rare content in smash's code BEFORE Banjo was revealed.

Unfortinately i dont think it holds much water when said Rare content was never made asscesible after Banjo launched

But real talk, Legends Arceus looks a bit rough graphically, but how in the world does a December 2020 build of a 2022 game have more enemy variety than the fully completed BOTW?
Breath of the Wild monsters tended to have more complex AIs then your typical game, and the main focus was exploring. Not to mention a lot of the same resources probably went into making things like te game's wildlife.

Pokemon is an RPG series that only needs basic AI, and the pokemon are the main focus.

They're not actually that comparable. Still hoping for a lot more monsters in BotW 2 though.

You weren't in places like the Banjo-Kazooie thread when that prominent leaker made those posts about him, were you? I can assure you they happened.

Shinobi's big drop was the big instigator.


The new toys being announced were definitely eye opening yes, but it didn't necessarily mean Banjo was coming to Smash.


What did matter was Shinobi, a ResetEra moderator, saying Banjo and Smash in the same sentence. It's very much like how Imran teased Steve by saying "DataMINE."
