[Shroob]

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.

Is Bogmire even a ghost?

Is it more like a manifestation of negative emotions?

Was Bogmire the first Alternate?

So our next reveal for Scarlet and Violet is in 11 days:

On Tuesday, @PokemonNewsUK took us to a traditional Japanese tea ceremony either the idea of it being similar to stuff in Kitakami.

Today they #gifted me a tea set similar to the one used with the date of August 22nd on it. Guess we won’t have long to find out 👀

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.

Personally I always took it as a sign of interest in Nintendo's Arcade History (which had never been re-released before) and being able to access the GOAT without paying for NSO.

The history of SMB1 is always interesting to me as there are basically 7.5 versions of the game (I think my count is correct) each with changes ranging to subtle to major.

Super Mario Bros.
Vs. Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros. 2 JP/Lost Levels
All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
Super Luigi Bros. (NES Remix 2)
Super Mario Bros. 35

And technically Super Mario Bros. Special from Hudson Soft.

For my money*, All Night Nippon is the best version. Has all of the gameplay QoL features/graphic changes of SMB2, the more balanced level difficulty of the original with the duplicate levels replaced with ones from SMB2, has unlockable Worlds A-D, playable SMB2 Luigi, no Wind Hazards or Poison Mushrooms, etc.

Deluxe would probably be the best version due to all of the modes it has if it wasn't for the screen crunch. 35 was too young for this world, and I would probably be still subscribed to NSO if it was still available.

*Literally. I bought an original copy. Is both the rarest and most expensive game I own.

So what's everyone been up to?

Spoiler: Nick All-Stars Brawl 2 kind of related

2023 is also officially the best year ever. The year both Gamera and The Angry Beavers made a glorious return after so long!

On another note...LESS THEN A MONTH UNTIL GAMERA: REBIRTH!!!! YEAH!!!!

I'm surprised it took you this long to notice the Beavers in NASB since Shroob tagged you, but oh well, better late than never.

That's because I was taking a break from this site. I did briefly come back half a month ago to reveal to my fellow kaiju bros, notably Mamboo the Gamera: Rebirth trailer that dropped at that time.

With the Multiversus and Nick All-Stars Brawl 2, I really hope this leads to the popularity of other platform fighters. One I want most notably is a Universal Studios taking the Multiversus route in terms of roster. I can also imagine the name of the title.

Universal Studios Smackdown

They have plenty of IPs as Warner Bros. does that the potential is there going the Multiversus route in terms of roster.

These are characters I'm fairly certain that'd be guaranteed if such a Universal Studios platformer was made.

Back to the Future:
Doc Brown
Marty McFly

DreamWorks Animation:
Hiccup
Megamind
Po
**** in Boots
Shrek
Toothless

Fast and the Furious:
Brian O' Connor
Dom Toretto

Illumination:
Gru
Kevin, Stuart & Bob

Jaws:
Bruce (The way that Bruce would play is basically swimming in the air as if he's in invisible water with bubbles surrounding him, he plays by chomping at and whipping his tail at players or NPCs)
Quint

Jurassic Park/Jurassic World:
Alan Grant
Blue
Owen Grady
Rexy

Universal Monsters:
Dracula
Frankenstein's monster
Wolfman

Woody Woodpecker:
Woody Woodpecker

Misc.:
Cocaine Bear
King Kong
M3gan

I feel Cocaine Bear and M3gan have a high shot due to their memetic statuses. I would so 100% main Cocaine Bear. I wouldn't be surprised of M3gan being top tier.

Also, I just love the idea of Littlefoot vs. Dom Toretto. LMAO.

Ya know Pikmin 4 is good and all, but as much as I like it it's not really doing for me what Pikmin 3 did. I guess it's the mix of the fact that I found exploring with 3 captains really satisfying, but also that there's no real sense of urgency making it feel like I'm optimizing for optimization's sake.

I think I'll take a break for now, binge the rest of it on Monday and then go back to Pokemon as I'm starting to hyperfixate on that dang franchise again.

I couldnt beat Pikmin 3 because I couldnt even get pass when the final boss is chasing you. Also the 3 captains was too much. Im good with just 2, unless Oatchi isnt a captain, then one



In that regard, Pikmin 4 is way better to me. Its 2nd to pikmin 2

Serebii states that there will be Pokémon game news during the closing ceremony of the World Championships this Sunday.

Whenever I tell someone I'm going to school for animation they immediately assume I'm a weeb. Probably because I'm black lol

Sorry to disappoint, but my cartoons are more Looney Tunes than Naruto.

Just gonna say this about Tears of the Kingdom real quick:

That epic battle reprise of Dragon Roost Island's theme in Colgera's boss theme is FIRE

My guess would be the types of the 4 main Pokémon in this DLC and any details on potential signature moves

holy ****ing shell yeah

 

[Michael the Spikester]

On my topic of Universal Studios Smackdown (My ideal name for a Universal Studios platform fighter). Burt Gummer would be such a hoot to play as. If he were in such a game, he and Cocaine Bear would be my mains.

Secondaries would be Bruce, King Kong, and Rexy.

I Wonder if they’re only gonna adapt the first Last Ronin comic, or if they’ll also throw in some stuff from the prequel comic

There's a really hard balance to achieve with Pikmin games and I don't know if they'll ever do it perfectly. Time limits give tension but take away from player freedom. No time limit gives time to relax and explore but takes away the urgency.

Dead Rising has similar issues but I think it handles it worse than Pikmin does.

I'm going to animation school too so maybe we could one day collab and do something that's both of them at the same time

Yo people, sorry for passing by again during my holidays, but there's this question which I wanted to ask ya'll for the sake of everyone's comfort. Don't worry, it's not anything huge and rather about a purchase I am considering which could be problematic.

Long story short: I really want a Kang figure for my Marvel Legends Fantastic Four shelf, but they never released on my island the comic book one and only recently they have released this one:

I think ya'll may know where I am heading with this, but I really wanted to ask ya'll whether or not do you think It is worth It to pick up this Kang figure specifically and if ya'll would be confortable with me after the fact. More so because I am aware of which version it represents and all the bad stuff it may have associated to it similar to the MCU Namor figure I own and plan to sell since I own a Comic Book Namor figure already, but I really want a figure of Kang the character in my shelf and also to not weird out people here.

That's all for now thankfully, will stay online to check some thoughts and when I make a definitive choice I'll log off again.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Just found out that the Last Ronin game is likely to be M rated due to Nickelodeon and Paramount wanting to spread the TMNT franchise into having projects dedicated to young and more mature groups.

If the game does indeed get that M rating (instead of a T rating), it’d be the first mature rated Nickelodeon project made…and maybe more could come out of it with their other properties (be it through other Nicktoons like Avatar or through their live action properties that haven’t been used recently)

Someone hasn't heard of Ren & Stimpy Adult Swim Party.

Not that I can blame ya though...

If this stadium was in real life, it would be the worst one ever made

How are you supposed find a good seat at something with 25 battling rings? And why 25 of them?
