Put Persona on the CW

Not even the CW’s billions of dollars could afford that:

Nexstar will acquire 75% of The CW for $0.

Instead, Nexstar will assume a significant portion of The CW’s current losses, which could exceed $100M.

So you're saying I could've bought the CW

 

[Noipoi]

Wrong. Only one more guess.

You have to much free time.

 

[Lamperouge]

Persona?
More like Perso-No

Perso-Nah, I'm good.

 

[CannonStreak]

You have to much free time.

That describes me sometimes, too.

 

[Noipoi]

You're on Smashboards. That was a given.

 

[MooMew64]

i want more smee time

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You have to much free time.

The reason I'm playing it next after Crash and Spyro is because it was made by Sucker Punch. So Rocket is the long lost third piece of the Naughty Dog-Insomniac-Sucker Punch Triforce from the pre-ps2 era.

I finally get the Xenoblade 3 collector's edition into the cart I am at the checkout and I realize

Oh **** I do not have enough money for this

I was destined to not get this collector's edition

I wonder who Mario Striker's first character update is gonna be.



Let's pretend it isn't obvious for the sake of conversation.

Yeah. Can't wait for Ninji, Koopa Troopa, Goomba, and Pom Pom

You never cease to amaze and to neg me.

Okay but those choices would be based IMO.

I have taken it upon myself to be the obnoxious optimist to your obnoxious pessimist.

These are our roles in the circle of life. Adapt or perish.

I mean, I'm slightly more optimistic because Next Level Games is developing it and not Nintendo or Camelot. But still, Nintendo corporate seems to have embargoed basically every interesting Mario character unless your name is Sakurai until Miyamoto has one of his whims.

 

[CannonStreak]

Iizuka confirmed to Game Informer that the Cyberspace levels ARE based off of Sonic's memories.

Also there's going to be a rapid-fire interview with Iizuka soon.

He's hesitant to say how many upgrade-able skills there are in the skill tree, but he says there's around 10-12 of them that he saw in the build.

More stuff on Sonic Frontiers.

The thing is though, she doesn’t really have a destiny. Yes:

Spoiler

the bangles tie back to her ancient family. But it’s not her job to free the Jin. None of her current family had any ideas on any of this and it didn’t really affect their lives outside of generational trauma that didn’t correlate to Kamala because before those bracelets she had no insight and thus no impact from these events.

I get the idea they are trying to tell with the story, but it’s just not the best connective tissues imo. I do think the concept of trying to be what her friends want or think to work when we do get to see those scenes, and I think if they incorporated her more people in her life/region think about her as a hero, it could really stand out from normal tropes. Giving us a great depiction of her heritage and region, while also showing how your the only person who can become a hero, you can’t please Everyone. The best way to do good is by being yourself, not trying to stay in different lines while trying to save everyone.

Spoiler: Embiggen

That would work easily if she didn’t have to be Kamala. She always takes a long while to realize that she shouldn’t be defined by others to be a true hero, despite being told “Good isn’t a thing you are, it’s a thing you do” by Abu (well…not the MCU one that is…). It legit took Carol killing Iron Man (plus the rest of Civil War 2) for her to realize she has to be her own hero…guess that’s one way to become your own hero and then lead a team of other teens.

I’m sure MCU Kamala will have this entire family stuff make her realize that she can respect her family and heritage, but no longer allow their fears and worries defy who she is, since that’s gonna be easier to work with than having someone be murdered by her idol.

but I will admit to being somewhat surprised by how much Bruno isn’t causing much issue for her, especially with the romance that’s doomed to fail thing that’s occurring earlier than expected.

And you say I have too much time on my hands. You made that.

 

[Noipoi]

And you say I have too much time on my hands. You made that.

As much as I'd love to claim ownership of this masterpiece, I found it on google images

 

[TheMightyP]

Yeah. Can't wait for Ninji, Koopa Troopa, Goomba, and Pom Pom

Unironically these would rule

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You guys boggle my mind.

He gave birth to that.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

And you say I have too much time on my hands. You made that.

We're all on Smashboards, everyone has too much time on their hands.

 

[MooMew64]

Why would you diss Pom Pom? Pom Pom is based.

 

[Noipoi]

Let's get Lakitu in this *****.

Chargin' Chuck. Chain Chomp. Bullet Bill Launcher (Not the bullet, just the launcher)

Bring in Thwomp.

Bring in Thwimp.

 

[TheMightyP]

You guys boggle my mind.

Ok but Ninja and Koopa Troopa are based picks

 

[MooMew64]

Dunno if this is a hot take or not but Mario enemies are still really cool, losing funny hairdos didn't change that IMO.

 

[Noipoi]

I just have an affinity for mooks.

If Sonic games let you play as Motobug I'd be all over that ****.

The Minions stories in the M&L remakes were genius ideas, shame they were

I want to be actual characters with personalities and defining elements. Generic enemies are not that.

IDK, Toad has a lot of personality in this game, I feel like they'd be able to make a Goomba do all the funnies.

Let me play as The Elite Trio from Mario & Luigi or some of the partners from the first two Paper Marios then maybe I'd consider using them. As it stands I'd rather have characters like Daisy, Pauline, Diddy, Dixie, K. Rool, Ashley, Captain Syrup, Vivian, Fawful, Geno, and Mallow over any generic enemy.
