All of the old Kirby Games should get remade n-sane style.

I mean, compared to the Crash series, the Kirby series is doing just fine games-wise and it certainly isn't going anywhere due to being one of Nintendo's more recognisable series. And it's older games really don't have any issues gameplay-wise. Crash's N-Sane trilogy felt like an attempt to go back to the basics to try one last time at finding it's playerbase and formula, so it's great that it wasn't just able to bring back the old fans, but able to attract new fans with adjusting some of the more harder mechanics like having to not die while still keeping it decently difficult.

It really doesn't work with Kirby. Kirby has found it's formula and it's been stuck to it for a long time now. And compared to the Crash games where the originals were very difficult and adjusted to not be as hard, the old Kirby games are still very much the same difficulty as they are now and there's really no change. Like the only big thing about a Kirby N-Sane Trilogy remake would just be that it has the new Kirby graphics. But that's it. There wouldn't be any gameplay-changes because there's nothing to change. Kirby doesn't have any dying restrictions. There's nothing to gain from speedrunning. And the gameplay is working as intended.
Like you may argue they could add the extra mode that allows to play as either Dedede or Meta-Knight plus the boss rush mode, but that has kept being done for a while now and if there are players who have been getting tired of it, those extra modes wouldn't be enough to encourage them. And if there's nothing really new about this theorized remake compared to the original games, than it's hardly going to encourage people to get it when they can play Kirby's Adventure, Dreamland 3 and Super Star on the Online Service and especially if the other games and remakes end up on the service later.

IMHO, there are other series that can use a N-Sane remake much more than Kirby. Like Advance Wars.

Bowser vs Ganondorf was one the worst episodes in Death Battle's history.
Ganondorf was redeemed in my eyes in Ganondorf vs Dracula where Ganondorf ironicly lost.

Spoiler: Speaking of Death Battle, here is what fights I want to see happen in the future. Could you guys please rate them?

​

Courage vs Scooby-Doo would be a weird one, since Scooby doesn't fight.

Did anyone actually bother with this? How is it/are they?

I'm in a horrible mood, so I'll go do something else.

I'm sorry for spewing toxic stuff.

I hope everyone has a good night.

Sighs

I'm having a mental breakdown.

I know, I'm back. But...

I genuinely cannot do anything but think of my frustrations.

And SmashBoards isn't the only place I have mentioned this.

Hopefully TGA 2020 ends up being good.

Mamboo has a reputation around here for posting extremely cursed images.

I think he's toned it down a bit since when he first came but its what people know him for.

After the Game Awards, I may take a little break from here. Maybe.

I apologize for getting very angry.

I haven't played AVENGERS, but I think that first one with Spider-Man sounds fake.

Been playing Doom Eternal on the Switch. Waited for this version since I don't play my PS4 regularly.

Runs fine and looks great. Only thing I've noticed is that it gets a bit blurry near the mission portal in the Fortress of Doom.

Game is busier then Doom 2016. I do like the opportunity the go back to nab items and secrets you might have missed. That said, I got the upgrade that shows all collectables on the map as soon as I could get it which makes finding things a lot easier. You've got a lot more options in how to handle things, although, options is perhaps a misleading way of putting it. I kind of feel with all the extra stuff you're given, I'm using them for specific things which gives the game some weird scissor-paper-rock feel (yes, that's what we call it here). The platforming has been upped to 11, which isn't too bad but occasionally you get a puzzle before you can progress which I'm not too fond of.

It was also a bit harder up until I got some more weapons and upgrades. The life system also helps balance that out and thankfully I'm getting a good stockpile of them.

The story is, well, I don't know what the **** is going on beyond hell on Earth. Haven't bothered reading the codex entires which I guess would help but Doom doesn't really have a story I find that worth getting invested into. Demons are attacking, rip and tear, that's what I'm here for.

All that said, it is a lot of fun, super metal and it's one hell of an impressive port.

I'm subscribed to PBS Eons and today they uploaded a video called "When the Lizards Took Over the World".

So scientist finally admit that reptilians are the ones pulling all the strings, eh?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I was running a program and for some reason ONLY in that program up was constantly being pressed. I couldn't figure out why. I even unplugged my keyboard and mouse and it was still going up.

Turns out I had a controller plugged in and it fell over. Didn't even know the program supported controllers.

LOL I uninstalled the program and everything trying to figure it out

I think Smash is very unlikely at The Game Awards.

But I will say that there will most likely be one announcement that gets everyone so hyped, that there will be a page filled with, "HOLY ****, OH MY GOD!" in here.

Wait it's on Switch now? God damn, I'm living under a rock. Also,

and it's one hell of an impressive port.

Yes.

Oh my lord, that took forever.

Basically, Magnamon(Black). The one on type has more pale armor. The eyes are recolored from Red to look more evil. I have a few others recolors, Virus, Data, and Free. Vaccine being the original blue. Though I have to check a few to see if I missed any pixels like Virus does.

For a backstory, Magnamon is DemiDevimon's Armor form in Myo's overall line. The DemiDevimon of the three lines represents "Data". Thus, it was chosen that that version of Magnamon is Red-colored. Green represents Free, since a lot of Armors are Dinosaurs, and given that color. Purple represents Virus, because it's poisonous. Blue was logial enough for Vaccine. Black is another Virus, but meant as a proper version for BlackExVeemon and BlackVeedramon to go into. The scheme is similar too. Though there's no offwhite among it. As that was on the chest. The way more pale armor could be seen as the "white" to the grays/blacks, though.

From what I've heard they're worth playing at least once to appreciate the animation/sprite work but not too much else. Aladdin is overshadowed by missing the subjectively superior SNES Capcom version and Lion King is painfully hard due to bad level design. Thankfully Disney didn't feel the need to subject anyone again to playing the embarrassingly bad NES versions.

On the subject of Disney though, still waiting for that Disney Afternoon Collection port to Switch...

 

[Mamboo07]

Remember, do not expect a Smash reveal as part of the Game Awards.

Hows about disco Disney?

And it went 2x Platinum?

Well...................................this is a bit ****. Don't trust Sony on this but anime was becoming more Westernised over the years so I think it was a bit of an inevitability. Nothing will change for the next few months but between a rock and a hard place for anime fans over the next while it feels like. I actually enjoyed my "Most anime I can watch legally and all the non stuff on the high seas" but that has to end for **** sake.

Also gonna post my Cyberpunk thoughts before TGAs so look out for that.

I just wanna play the Kirby series all nice and JD and pretty. Same old games, but with updated modern graphics. Truthfully, I think that should happen to every game.

I may be ignorant on this part, but isn't Sony a Japanese company?

It is in a way but a lot of there stuff is pretty much based in the US now like PlayStation. They still have the HQ in Japan but mostly everything else is in the US if that makes sense.

What I mean is that most of sales are now overseas and stuff so they have to go more to global customs than their own. It's hard to explain but I'm writing this without the caffeine.

You're making sense, don't worry.
