On one hand, you got a lot of people who hate Sonic's Dumb Friends.

On the other hand, Knuckles is the GOAT. When's the last time him and Tails were playable in a main 3D game?
06 if not counting Boom.


That was Sega's main takeaway from 06, they heard that people didn't think the game felt anything like a Sonic the Hedgehog game, and I guess they somehow interpreted that as "nobody wants to play as Sonic's very popular, unique, and iconic friends anymore", so now we're stuck with only Sonic.

And then they tried it again with Forces with Shadow and the Avatar, but nobody liked that game and I bet they'll take it as "Well, nobody like playing as Sonic's friends" and back to square 1.

When will Sega learn that players want to players as characters they like and don’t want to play with characters they don’t like?

I suppose the answer is when Nintendo realizes that players want original and complex characters in Paper Mario.

(i.e. they probably already know it but there’s a stupid rule they made preventing them from doing it)

Mortal Kombat: Battle of the Realms was a pretty good movie that’ll definitely be overshadowed by UI Shaggy and God of Destruction Scooby-Doo

Don't worry, nobody ****ing liked Infinite.


Not even SEGA
I liked the idea of him from the backstory in the comics, but they really squandered him in the game proper due to the weaker writing and rushed development. Maybe the a better game or the comics could've done better by him, but I'm pretty sure SEGA banished him to the Shadow Realm so he's probably not coming back.

Such is life I guess. It's weird cause even Nintendo will miss opportunities to put someone like Peach or Yoshi in more games as fully playable characters. Namely the NSMB games could have been more interesting if they had Mario 2 playstyles instead of everyone being clones of Mario's default style.

Mega Man and CV are usually pretty good about having at least 1 other cool guy/cool chick to play as, though I was a little surprised Mega Man 11 didn't implement Protoman or Bass as DLC considering that game did pretty well for itself.

SEGA is like a spoiled child who won't let you play with his toys.
"Can I be Tails?"
"No! Sonic only!"
"Knuckles?"
"No!"
"Silver?"
"No!"
"How about... Eggman?"
"No!"
"Any of them aside Sonic?"
"NO! ONLY YOU BE SONIC AND THAT'S FINAL!"
"This is just getting ridiculous..."

G'morning!
Noipoi Noipoi I realize I'm late but those last few pages of the heist were amazing and I really like your artsyle. Makes me wonder how I would look if an appearance from me is in the cards...

I keep saying this but it looks like Dread'd really gonna be a hit, I've seen so many people show interest in Metroid for the first time, there's the fact that the Wii U hasn't had such activity in years as people want to catch up on the storyline and most importantly, entitled DK fans are whining about how unfair it is that Metroid's getting so much attention. I think the series may legit crack into the mainstream

Really? I hang around some DK spaces and I haven’t seen this.

Unless you mean Twitter. Twitter doesn’t count everyone’s awful there.
I’ve seen one dude on Twitter complain about Nintendo’s “apathy” towards DK, with one reason being a Treehouse person talking about Metroid for a lot longer than DK, but other DK fans I’ve seen have been either criticizing the dude or just disappointed in seeing another DK fan say that stuff.

I'm actually more excited for this than I am for Gunvolt 3, TBH. The first Luminous Avenger was really good and I honestly think Copen's gameplay is much more kinetic and satisfying than GV.

Ah I see. Transform hasn’t been retired for Midnight Hunt, but Day/Night Shift is just going to be the thing for werewolfs this set.

Happy Shang-Chi Day

asian culture finally has a Marvel hero to look up to in the mass media and not be a dead Elektra…or worse…MCU’s failed and disgraceful Iron Fist from the Netflix era

Movie is not really out until tomorrow. It's just screenings.

Pokemon announced a new Generations esque series titled Pokemon Evolutions, which will feature events based off the main games in an anime art style

The trailer showed off mostly Gens 6, 7, and 8, but it did say it would do all the gens, and we see brief shots of some of them.

After Blaster Maser Zero 3 was finished, they do want their audience to prep for Gunvolt 3. Interested with Inti giving Copen a spotlight before Gunvolt comes back with the new characters later in 2022.

all movie showings are pretty much screenings, but what matters most is the advantages of getting movies earlier in time due to the pacific area having a better time schedule than theaters…so I say once more Happy Shang-Chi Day
