gonna be the weirdest soft universe reboot of all time

 

[Z25]

SpongeBob showcase is here, as well as a look at two new stages:

 

[Wario Bros.]

It's always weird to see Arcade Archives: VS. Super Mario Bros. pretty much always staying on the Switch eShop best sellers page.

It's really nothing more than the first SMB but with a really bumped up difficulty.

So Gal Gadot stays on as Wonder Woman?

I ALMOST FREAKING CRIED AT THE NEW DISVENTURE CAMP EPISODE WHAT THE HECK

It's really nothing more than the first SMB but with a really bumped up difficulty.

Is it really bumped up beyond the repeat levels being replaced with Lost Levels?

No seriously, I wanna know.

If I had a nickel for every time a Linoone acting for an HM slave saved the day for me at a gym battle in a Hoenn based game, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

I'm lowkey disappointed this time because I was on the cusp of le epic Combusken sweep

 

[Wario Bros.]

Is it really bumped up beyond the repeat levels being replaced with Lost Levels?

No seriously, I wanna know.

• Some ? blocks with power-ups have either been replaced with coins, moved to harder to reach spots, or even removed
• Warp zone pipes to worlds 7 and 8 are removed
• More bottomless pits and enemies
• 1-up lives trick on staircases have been removed
• Depending on operator settings, it might take more than 100 coins to get an extra life

That's what I could find on Mario Wiki

 

[TMNTSSB4]

So Gal Gadot stays on as Wonder Woman?

Yeppers. So far Gal is the only one to officially survive the DCEU death purge.

Tbh, the Luigi Mansion sequels have not captured the vibe of the first game like at all.

Not saying they're bad but the first game was genuinelly creepy (not scary, but creepy) and the surreal tone really added a lot to the atmosphere. The sequels just made it pure slapstick which while it isn't bad, it's just removed a good chunk of the identity.

The new Overwatch season is actually good!

The new hero is fun and the balance changes (for the most part) are good as well, They added some good QOL stuff as well with the new UI and the Hero Mastery. Not to mention how the PVE is fun. It is also on Steam allowing for more accessibility

Finally, Overwatch 2 is at the point it probably should have been in when it launched.

I still feel that the first Luigi's Mansion was my favourite out of the three mainly because I enjoy the concept of capturing the portrait ghosts (and fighting against the bosses) that made the game fun.

I somewhat get the feeling Henry Cavill fans are not going to be very pleased with this.

Other than that, here is a first look at some of the character posters for the upcoming X-Men '97:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Jondolio]

Beat five gyms in Alpha Sapphire. Norman was by far the most annoying (not actually hard even though he OHKO'd my Combusken) but he was no match to the mighty HM slave.

Current team:
KFC the Combusken (if any of you are curious KFC actually stands for Kickass ****ing ****)
Joanne D'Arc the Kirlia
Opera the Roselia
Aaron the Aron
Beam the Carvanha
Mr. HM the Linoone

This playthrough is progressing pretty smoothly so it shouldn't be long before I have all Deoxys formes

‘Wonder Woman 3’ Won’t Fly in the New DC Universe, Despite Gal Gadot Teasing Development Plans (EXCLUSIVE)

Gal Gadot says James Gunn told her they would develop "Wonder Woman 3" together, but sources tell Variety no definitive conversations ever took place.

lol, lmao even.

I'd like to see the next update to PMEX Remix come out by the end of this year.

Yeah, there was definitely a change in identity. I do think that 3's direction is the way to go though. With how set in stone the Mario universe's tone is now, I think the full slapstick is the best way to getting unique and fun settings.

finally the black Wonder Woman (Nubia) debuts on the big screen

 

[Guynamednelson]

Custom MvC3 characters look so much better now that things like Ryu and Ken being in the same match are no longer impossible.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

ya know…that Danny Phantom series finale is perfectly fine when you cut out the majority of the issues people have with it

…tho even with the way it is, it’s still superior to Star’s finale

Did you unironically say "this bad thing isn't so bad when you remove all the bad parts?"

 

[Megadoomer]

I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. I wasn't planning on it, but I had a few hours free between shifts and I'd heard good things.

I had a great time, with Raphael winding up being my favourite out of this incarnation of the Turtles. I found it funny to see Seth Rogen credited in the pre-show interviews as "Seth Rogen: Writer/Producer/Bebop", and I didn't realize that John Cena, Maya Rudolph, and Paul Rudd were in this. The highlight for me was probably the car chase scene - as soon as the music started, I cracked up laughing.

 

[KillerCage]

Just came from seeing TMNT Mutant Mayhem with my best friend and both of us thought it was a good movie.

Also he agreed to my opinion that Thor Love & Thunder was better than Ragnarok which caught me by surprise.

In Pinball FX news, the first Marvel Collection (contains tables based on the comic versions of Wolverine, Spider Man, Iron Man, Blade, Thor, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Doctor Strange, and Captain America) and Williams classic Star Trek The Next Generation will be available on the Switch August 24.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Easy mode or not, I actually want Nabbit to return in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

everything was made to be ironic up until the Star part

Yeah, I get it. Newer Luigi's Mansion games rely on slapstick and cartoon-yness. They tried to make 3 a 'little' scarier by having there be actual Portrait Ghosts, but even they came off as exceptionally cartoony.


The Portrait Ghosts in 1 were just straight up dead humans, and while some were funny, you also had stuff like Sue Pea and Chaunchy which were dead children/babies. Luigi's Mansion 1 had a good balance of humor and morose to it.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

So does Pikmin 4 have new game plus?

I dont see the point of giving you the flying Pikmin's onion this late in the game if there isnt.

The first game low-key has the asthetic of an ardman animation. That maks it my favorite.

I think it has to do with the artstyle as well, the LM1's ghosts used a much harsher tone, and they used filters(?) that had them look like they came out if a surreal painting, like Van Gogh-ish. The sequels are more so Hanna Barbera PacMan.

Don't forget Bogmire, who was literally the manifestation of the mansion's fear itself.

On the whole, I feel like each new Luigi's Mansion game is largely improvement on the last, but they've yet to quite recapture the eerie and dark tone of the original.

Ya know that begs the question.


If Bogmire is a manifestation of the MANSION's fear, that means it was extremely recent.


So how did E.Gadd have it in his possession before if the Mansion had come about after the Portrait Ghosts were set free?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I will forever wonder what types of drugs the SpongeBob crew use to think of their abrupt close up shots

 

[Z25]

I saw an interesting alternate theory proposed about what the other evolution Khu was hinting is.

its…

that dipplin evolves again, because the description mentions it has two applin in it. So they could come out and coil around a larger(tree like?) apple like the snake image Khu teased.

I’d be really disappointed ngl, but at the same time I can see it.

E. Gadd did a WW2 tier war crime on the entire family when they were alive, Bogmire shows up because E. Gadd's a terrorist and now they family's all dead and can't rest in piece cause of him. E. Gadd catches Bogmire.

Then King Boo releases them, E. Gadd shiws uo and they collectively **** bricks when they realize he set up shop right next to their suppossed eternal resting place. Somehow, Bogmire returns

I'm going to consult another Gamecube game for my answer:

It's an eerie mystery that has never been solved to this very day.
