I thought Emio was on Sesame Street.

Must have been scrapped from the show in favor of Elmo.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I meant IP, They should be considered first party IP

ah…well that way I’m sure Disney and WBD would try and kill Nintendo for thinking such a thing

 

[Roguewolf]

Ay dios emio

 

[Z25]

Emio? He’s that weird glitch boss that shows up only on 6/6/06 in Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga at 3am:

Just popping back in to say hi and also wtf Nintendo

I know you guys hate Pyoro but damn, you didn't have to livestream his execution like that

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I was wondering what Emio reminded me of earlier.

Then I remembered that some people depict the Backrooms Party-Goer entities with paper bags for heads.

Emio is another Backrooms horror game adaptation confirmed.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

god, crash team rumble really just came and went didn't it. I know the microsoft buyout affected it but I also never heard people talk about the game. I guess online multiplayer competitive fruit picking isn't a genre that resonated with people.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Persona hot take, Persona 4s OST is better then P5s

 

[ZephyrZ]

I dunno why you all seem so scared of Emio he looks like such a friend

 

[Noipoi]

A smiling friend

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Good night

 

[PeridotGX]

I dunno why you all seem so scared of Emio he looks like such a friend

What if Emio was the bag and was just puppeting the guy in the suit.

That would mean Emio has a friend.

From his perspective, a friend inside me

The secret boss in chapter 3 is gonna be a cowboy who's depressed because his show was cancelled

And we'll never be rid of these friend inside me memes

Bro is just Dr. Flug on a bad day, leave my man alone.

And as the years go by...

I will never die...

 

[Shroob]

Oh is it analog horror hour?

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I swear to Zavok, I thought that show was a fever dream-

On an unrelated note, I just remembered one of my old, dusty computers held together with duct tape and spit has a Sonic Lost World (and JUST that particular game) tribute video set to Weird Al's Now That's What I Call Polka. I remember being really proud of it. Especially the Somebody That I Used To Know sequence lmao

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

Alright I'm gonna need someone to give me the hookup on these cursed Woodie pics, they're ****ing killing me

Here's the cliffnotes on Friend Inside Me. Toby Fox posted this video on his Tumblr (he might be spamming it? Not sure)

Most thought this was a classic Tobias Vulpine jape, but someone started thinking about it and posted a video making a semi-serious claim that a Woody expy would be the third secret boss in Chapter 3 ("Woody Theory"). The crux of it is that Toby has mentioned a "scrapped" cowboy section, but the video maker postulates it's the in-universe show that was cancelled, like Woody's Roundup was. It fits the "discarded" theme, like the joker card and spam mail, and the cowboy character being limited in what it can say due to it's voice box(/friend inside it) fits the freedom motif also present. And every week or so someone discovers something that kinda sorta helps Woody Theory if you squint.

Honestly I kinda believe it, but the Deltarune fandom has bugs in their brain and a solid chuck have been nonstop posting about the Friends inside them...

Myself included.

 

[Shroob]

Good god my Youtube rec feed is just non stop Zenless whatever it is.


Hoyoverse was a mistake.

Been thinking this for a few days, Hoyoverse is the most annoying gaming thing I have ever seen

I keep getting ads for it shoved in my face and yet I remain aggressively disinterested

It feels like there's just SOO MUCH of it.


Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Zenless whatever


That's FOUR ****ing gacha games all running simultaneously. FOUR.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

If the Deadly Six got their own video game, I'm pretty curious about how Sega would do it.

Would it be a sequential level deal swapping between different Zeti, a multi-story affair like Sonic Adventure, or an insane six-player co-op game?

 

[Shroob]

God we're going to unironically have people advocating for a Hoyoverse rep next Smash aren't we.

Didn't realize there were more than 2, they all blend together for me

If this happens Smash is dead to me fr, I don't care how justified it is but my tolerance has its limits

I'm a boomer, so the thought of a mobile game rep in Smash feels wrong to me and I don't want it.



But at the same time

Mobile gaming isn't going anywhere, and as predatory as they can be, the market's huge, and one that Nintendo tried(And kinda failed) to dip their toes in.

I don't mind a mobile game rep in theory, I just want Hoyoverse to keep their filthy, grimey hands away from Smash

I guess for me, it's more a principle thing.


Technically speaking, to this day, if you wanna play a game that a character comes from, assuming you have the hardware(or emulation), you can still play like 90% of the games that the Ultimate roster has under their belts.


But mobile games are transient. When the servers die, they die, and while you have rare instances like the Mega Man X one that made an offline version to play, the wide majority of them shut down the server and they're just dead forever.

I can get behind this way of thinking as well but consider how many console games are like this now. Fortnite's a big one and one a lot of people think could be in Smash

I mean, you're a One Piece fan, ain't ya?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I have no problem with people enjoying the Mihoyo games but I refuse to look at them myself, everything I know of them is against my will as I refuse to form a gambling addiction. Not even Sonic or Fire Emblem could seduce me to that evil.


Also I read Kagurabachi, it's pretty good, I get the hype

 

[Jondolio]

I don't follow

I mean I guess but pirating those types of games just seems like a hassle, you have to really like the game to want to keep the services alive

Something tells me not every modern live service game is gonna have a dedicated server after the dust is settled

Oh, no, that was in regards to your comment about games being on old systems that are hard to access in modern times lol.

I was specifically referring to live service games, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Hard agree, tbh

Theres a LOT of MMORPGs from the early 2000's that are basically just lost media now and its pretty unfortunate to see

I remember there was a Bakugan game I wanted to play when I was really young only to find out that it got shut down

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I regret reading Kagurabachi btw I'm too gay for this ****

God I love women
