I remember seeing this really cool video from the creator of Despicable Me (the concept and characters, not the actual movies) which I can't find anywhere, and at the end he apologised for the Minions even though they weren't part of his original pitch.

If we eventually get GBA on NSO, I seriously hope It's Mr. Pants comes along with it - one of the most wonderful games Rare has ever made and on par with other block puzzle classics like Tetris, Puzzle League, and Puyo Puyo. If it was released as Donkey Kong and not a fat guy in nothing but underwear it'd be just as iconic as those latter 2 games and nobody would ever shut up about it. Easily the least justifiable snub in Rare Replay.

I know it's completely incorrect, but I've always read "corps" as "corpse" and not "core" - which makes some game titles very unfortunate.

Why does all the Street Fighter X Tekken art have SNES Mortal Kombat sweat flinging everywhere?

If Smash were to add a proper Mario underground/cave stage that isn't just part of another stage, it should use Yoshi's Island DS as a base. For such a mediocre and aesthetically-messy game, the cave tileset is beautiful.

Even though it represents the franchise better, I think there were tons better choices for a Wii Fit stage than Wii Fit Studio. The obstacle course would be a wonderfully chaotic scrolling stage, and Tightrope Tension could be a fun campy stage with narrow platforms.

I don't think the not-completely-accurate physics in Banana Mania will bother me too much. The Master System Sonic games are favourites of mine and their physics are a little off from the Mega Drive games, same with Sonic Mania to a lesser extent.

I like how on Nick Brawl's box/icon everyone's clearly having fun even if a bit more agressive than usual... except Cat. Cat's pissed.

To be fair, he has reason to be considering his show was being built up as Nick's next big hit before SpongeBob made it big.

I think if there's to be an indie game rep in Smash, it should be a hyper-obscure character - possibly from a game that isn't even finished at the time of their inclusion being finalised. The definition of "indie" varies from person to person but Sans, Hat Kid, or Shovel Knight - to me at least - wouldn't be proper indie reps, just mainstream gaming characters who got their start as indies. So glad Fraymakers is taking the "show love to the little guys" approach that should be a no-brainer for anything indie instead of "HEY LOOK GUYS IT'S SANS!!!!"

One of the stages on the stage select screen in Antonball Deluxe is just a button labled "funny" that shows you a meme every time you press it.

You are rewarded for doing this with Paul, a character with no animations who makes the CrazyBus theme song play while he "walks"

I bought Alfonzo's Arctic Adventure because it was cheap and the graphics looked really authentic (apparently it's NES homebrew running on an emulator), never seen the original Bob cartoons but I've always enjoyed playing games about IPs I'm unfamiliar with so that's not a big deal...

That being said, I understand the complaints about the Sonic Mania and pre-update Snake Pass home menu icons now, I've never liked the Newgrounds aesthetic and combining that with faux-synthwave doesn't help.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 28, 2021

I feel Smash characters should be built more on the character than the game - let's say you have a fast paced one-hit-death puzzle game, but the protag is a meaty meathead, I would make the moveset based more on digetic details with a few references to gameplay here and there. A trapper moveset would feel more like playing their game, but a heavy-hitter or grappler would feel like actually playing as the character.

There are exceptions to this, Steve for example is a brilliant fighter because of his elements taken from the source material, but for the most part if you want people to feel like they're playing another game within Smash it'd be best done through gimmicky stages. Wario is a good example, Wario in Smash doesn't really feel like playing a Wario Land or Ware game, but you can get a good feel for the idea of Wario as character: a strong but uneasy guy with more cunning than he lets on - and if you want to play WarioWare within Smash, there's a stage for that.

The PR for Nick Brawl has been a glorious mess - the Avatar reps have leaked at least 8 times, two of which were on reveal day (I counted), but the devs are as honest and direct as they can possibly be within the rigid Viacom NDAs they have.

A Discord screenshot that tells me "Powdered Toast Man's shield works like Fox's shine" or "We had to nerf Lincoln Loud's water gun because it could infinite" means a lot more to me at least than a 40 minute long presentation with a full CG opener.

Antonball Deluxe has an alternate version of its CRT filter that makes it look like the screen is broken.

God, I love this game.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 28, 2021

Even though I clown on Arms a lot, I really appreciate how they didn't give in to the fan requests for guests like Rayman, Lanky Kong, Ristar, e.t.c. and focused on building their main world more.

Honestly, Arms' biggest downfall was its choice to be a fighting game - if the fighting mode of Arms was small multiplayer bonus content for a 3D platformer or beat 'em up game it'd be perfectly servicable, but as a fully fledged game "stretchy limb fighting" is an awful idea.

I think Sakurai is the only game developer to have ever made an interactive hitpiece towards his most devoted fans.

Kinda funny how these two DSiWare games...

basically swapped titles when they came to the UK.

This.. thing (pre-extinction Genesect?) has a less human body than most Pokémon but a more human face.

Smash Wii U certainly had the most stages with comically obscure origins

How has it been so long without someone posting this song? It's up there with Rainbow Juice as one of the best boss game themes.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 27, 2021

It's kinda surprising Nintendo didn't make a Bowser spin off as far back as the 80s or 90s - I guess they must've just decided Wario Land fit the niche a Bowser game could provide.

I just got the Peepy video as an ad.

Nintendo making games

Nintendo advertising, preserving, patching, communicating with the fans of, providing accessibility options for, graphic designing, allowing fans to express love for, giving developers creative freedom on, making hardware for, encouraging future developers of, greenlighting pitches for, and pricing games

While it should (hopefully) go without saying that weapon homogeny isn't why FE is so reviled in Smash, it also makes for a really good argument against putting protagonists in crossovers, especially fighting games or other contexts where characters have their own abilities, first.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 27, 2021

Having more voice work in the ads than in the actual game is very on-brand for Wario. I feel I should be upset over this, but for whatever reason I physically can't be. More full sentences Wario is more full sentences Wario, no matter where it is.

Creation thread character polls can often be summed up as "Who would win: 5 paragraphs about Fleming from Cel Damage, or 2 sentences about Sora?"

Nintendo fans when Bayonetta 3 is a Switch exclusive: "Hell yeah, you go tell those entitled Sony ponies Kamiya!"

Nintendo fans when Rare Replay is an Xbox exclusive: "NO! THOSE ARE NINTENDO GAMES! WITHOUT NINTENDO THERE'D BE NO BANJO OR CONKER! FREE RARE REPLAY!"

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 27, 2021

Jesus, how big is this game's ad budget?

I have a really good idea for a Fire Emblem stage in Infinite... may or may not be related to a recent profile post.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 27, 2021

Imagine the alternate universe where Larry-Boy, uh I mean Cuke-Boy, is in Nick Brawl.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 27, 2021

Even though it's emblematic of Brawl's comically edgy aesthetic, I think the concept of Mushroomy Kingdom is really cool and I'd love to see more stuff that plays with the source material like that in Smash.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 26, 2021

I'm really glad James Rolfe gave the C64 the respect it deserves and didn't just use it as a punchline like a lot of his imitators tend to do with any non-Sega/Nintendo console of the pre-3D era.

I would like going to school if:

This was the teacher

This was the lunch

This was the uniform

This was the field trip

Remember: if you think a side-character starring in their own spin-off game makes them more important or worthy of a Smash spot, Pyoro is 𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 more important and Smash-worthy than Bowser.
