Color Splash bombed in sales (and it was a big bomb) too, it's a miracle that Paper Mario somehow survived that.

It was the worst selling recent Mario game until a couple years later when the Bowaer's Inside Story remake came out which sinked a series, the 3DS, AND a company

Good night everyone

And remember

Deadly Six >>>>>>> Infinite
Click to expand...
Hmm... personally I like Infinite better because at least his writing had some potential and a few interesting details that make him deeper than what he seems, like how his edgy impression is a front to cover up his insecurities.

Deadly Six have a couple of funny moments and I can see why they can be enjoyable on a superficial level but they're mostly just Stereotypes Ensemble.

If it helps, I was also displeased with the lack of any single-player mode and they're adding an arcade mode in the next update.

It's perfectly fair to not be satisfied with the current state of Multiversus but it's also obviously going to improve.

That’s exactly what I was saying. They definitely have a good idea on what to cover in future and are always listening. Which will only help the game in the long run.

the fact the arcade mode will have rivals already shows a lot of attention being put into each character,which I’ve been loving so far.

On a legit note, Infinite is hilarious if you don't take him seriously because he's just a culmination of everything wrong with Pontac and Graff's characterization that you just can't help but laugh at the absurdity.

The Deadly Six have potential, but idk if Sega's holding then back cause even IDW struggles to make them memorable aside from their stereotypes. Just make them Ginyu Force of Sonic, might as well.

Whoops, I remembered that I'm a Sonic fan. Making my point in a respectable way and disagreeing with other fans is not enough, I should be unreasonably angry that people have different opinions about harmless kids' games.

So, here you go: I'll find your house and break your knees with a brick if you dare to think Zavok is better than Infinite.

Infinite's the best Sonic villain since Merlina because he's really good like Merlina but because he's so endearing. Like, awwww, the widdle jackal wants to talk like a big boy, he's like the "No mom I'm 13 I only eat unhappy meals now" meme but unironically

WAWA wins DBFZ's EVO tournament from Losers' side beating Nitro.

Nitro's from the US and Wawa's from France. But Wawa uses Gohan, so I'm still happy either way.

DBFZ ROLLBACK SOON!

EDIT: PS5/XSX/PC versions, you can upgrade your PS4 and XBONE versions somehow. No new characters, likely that they would save everything for DBFZ's Sequel or something.

Reminds me of a time when I thought one hill near me was another a further away and both weren't the same hill.

If things change in the way I hope they do, then fine. But it’s just not.

It really is incredible Nintendo saw everyone screaming bloody murder at them to finally put the 3DS out to pasture in 2017 and they responded with:

“HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYesss I believe I will support this device up until 2019.”


BIS remake wasn’t even a horrible idea, but yeah no, the 3DS was done. They shoulda done what they did with several of the N64’s final titles and move them over to the new system instead of whatever the heck the 3DS’ last 3 years of life was.

I am constantly impressed that, when looking at systems like the GCN with its mini DVDs and the Wii U’s everything, as well as business decisions such as the N64’s refusal to use discs and prolonging the life of a dead console almost no one wants games for anymore, that this company still exists successfully.


The powers of Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, and more recently Splatoon and Animal Crossing really are what’s kept them alive all these years.

At the same time I think WarioWare Gold needed to be on the 3DS. There's content in the game that requires the mic and two screens. It's not the majority of the game, but it's still stuff that needed features the Switch didn't have.

TBH I would’ve preferred if they just omitted those minigames, imo they were always the worst ones for a multitude of reasons.

Secret of Nintendo will always be the IPs.

Not everyone has that power to do so over 30 years.

I'm watching his video on Splat3 news right now, and NGL I actually agree with him, the way they've been marketing the game is weird lol.

I am definitely getting the vibes this game is gonna feel like DLC, which is fine, ha ha. I'm hoping there's a bit more, but like...Eh, it is what it is.

Yeah, they’ve been really subdued with hyping up the game. There hasn’t been a BIG trailer that really tells you what it’s all about.

I have no doubts that it’ll be awesome, but I’m an established Splatoon fan. I wonder if the game has won over anyone not knee deep in squid lore.

I've been wanting to get into Splatoon for a while but I figured it was too late to get into 2 so I'm getting 3

I tried the first two games out and I already know I like the core gameplay so there's not much you need to do to win me over :drshrug:

But I also know I'm only speaking for myself so yeah I definitely think that they need to market this game more

I honestly have no idea what the casual market thinks. The Japan market is gonna buy it in droves because Splatoon is basically the shooter of choice there, but western gamers? Outside of established Splatoon fans...Eh? IDK, they need to get the game's hook out soon, 'cause right now, there's nothing here that couldn't have been like, $30 DLC for 2 other than I guess a new city. Even Salmon Run looks pretty bare in terms of changes, they pretty much only added a small handful of new bosses and an egg toss mechanic and seemingly called it a day. The campaign is gonna be great I'm sure, and the lore is gonna be fun, but like...That's only a side mode, and one that'll probably not deviate too far from what we already had if 2's story mode was any indication.

I wanna make it clear I am excited for this game, but as a diehard Splatoon fan, I can't help but feel just a little let down with what we've seen so far. Mechanically and meta-wise, this game looks fantastic. However, this is the age of DLC and updates, why did we need a $60 sequel? What is the 3 really for, other than admittedly (and cynically) just being an excuse to charge $60? Every other shooter like Splatoon offers this kinda stuff via a service system that grows and expands it's world for years, and TBH I enjoy that format a lot more than constant sequel releases. It just feels...Archaic. Splatoon 1 to 2 made sense: New hardware means you need a new game. But since both 2 and 3 will be on Switch...What's the point of 3? Why not just keep updating 2 if 3 is just more of 2 with little bells and whistles? It's why Overwatch 2 doesn't make any sense to me either. I'm really curious to see if dataminers find anything under the hood to see if there was anything engine-wise that justifies it, because I could understand the need for a new game if they did a huge netcode cleanup (PLEASE NINTENDO).

Realistically, the game is gonna feel weird at launch because all Nintendo online games have been weird at launch this gen. Splat2 really did teach them that they can shove out a game like, 3-to-4 months earlier than they probably should've and then let a skeleton crew add the rest back in over the course of a year+. It doesn't bother me too much and I'm not gonna say any of these games are 'unfinished' like a lot of NintendoTubers have been chanting for the last year, but it is incredibly disheartening to see that Nintendo is abusing the service game format for what it was never really intended for or what makes service platforms so good for online games in the first place. Switch era Nintendo is pretty much just a constant string of them learning the wrong lessons from success and failure, and somehow after nearly 15 years of trying, they still somehow don't understand how to make a healthy online ecosystem.
