Which character do you think it'll be?

I'm thinking of either Balloon Boy or the Puppet themselves.

The DLC was enjoyable. I really liked Mustard and Peony. I still think Calyrex is... pretty ugly, but it was kinda cute at the same time.


Base game though?

I liked SwSH, thought the DLC was mediocre, and love my team to death. I completed the entire pokedex even though the process of doing that was... exhausting... Only mainline game I played all the way through (unless you count Let's Go or Legends Arceus) because I don't want to go back to random encounters and ScaVio seams too... broken... I'll always hold Shield in a special place. Even if Rillaboom is a traitor to everyone and the story is kinda ********.

We need more licensed platformers based on current and legacy cartoon characters. Can that just be a thing companies do again instead of them doing mobile phone rpgs and endless runners?

I agree we need more, but I feel the market has shifted so much that not being mobile esque effectively kills ideas simply because they aren’t well, mobile (or Fortnite collabs)

Though in all honesty, some cartoons don’t need to be platformers. Example: Adventure Time I think works better as a Zelda style top down game (like Secrets of the Nameless Kingdom)

Fair assessment. But some would work really well and it would give the genre a nice boost outside of the indie market.

It's time for Ice Climber in the Nintendo Game of the Week Thread.


The game isn't very good.
Click to expand...
If Ice Climber has 1000 fans, I’m one of those fans.
If Ice Climber has 100 fans, I’m still one of those fans.
If Ice Climber has 1 fan, I’m that fan.
If Ice Climber has no fans, I don’t exist.

It’s good for the first couple of levels, I mainly like it just because I love the Ice Climbers in Smash tbh. The jump physics definitely suck past level 2, that and those dang moving clouds in the 3rd level. Ice Climber: Uprising when?

Remember. Everyone isn't tired of superheroes.

It's the MCU they're tired of.

Superhero fatigue my ***!!!!

To be fair, Invincible is also somewhat of a gorey superhero deconstruction.

Really wish DC got it's **** together and James Gunn didn't some in and rattle it's CU with bullets from his... James Gun.

It's also being its own thing rather then copying the formula we normally see. That helps too.

That's been the problem. It's been the MCU, not superheroes as a whole. There's so much you can do with the genre in terms of direction and tone.

It's so strange that as soon as these companies get bought by megaconglometates they actually end up making fewer games despite the opposite always being promised apon the acquisition.

Sony should be real grateful that they can constantly survive off of Spider-Man (both games and movies) and 3rd parties games now that Microsoft owns Activision to gain more money off of everyone and stuff

I genuinely hate how dirty they did the UK.

There was so much potential for a cool UK based region and they **** it up royally,

It’s understandable to wanna just blame the MCU, but the DCEU (soon to be DCU) and SSU plays just as much blame if there has to be any. It really only involves the movies and shows from Marvel and DC within their cinematic universes (and in DC’s case, just a couple of their animated shows). Arguably the comics play a role in being a fault as well since a lot of the Marvel and DC stuff has been an issue.

Spider-Verse and Elseworlds media, as well as the video game genre, has been lucky in comparison for those 2 companies.

Paramount (since ViacomCBS isn’t the name anymore) likely doesn’t care about such things, and leaves that to Nickelodeon…who should also find a way to force that damn Mountain to give me iCarly 2021 back those greedy *****
