Oh boy I have time to check out the new Dandadan episode, I hope they do this justice as it's very important!

One viewing later

I am not okay, I haven't cried this hard in months what the ****, goated series

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I don't even watch this show but this is such a coward move from Disney that shows that they don't care about representation at all

they care when it makes them money

 

[Jondolio]

they care when it makes them money

The fact that they're doing this before Trump even makes it into office paints a pretty grim picture for trans representation in the next 4 years. And just when I was starting to accept myself as trans too... thanks Donny

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Only made it to the first dungeon of DQIIIHD but goddamn I see why this was a hit, major shout out to the party customization, I can see people endlessly replaying the game for different classes and with different personalities to affect their stats

 

[Jondolio]

My Unity teacher referenced the "small hitbox" meme earlier for people who play as female characters. It wasn't really in a negative context but man I just couldn't pay attention in class after that

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I swear every time someone says HTTYD I think Hapermario The Thousand Year Dear instead of what it actually means

I'll bite, what hot take did you come up with to give you this opinion?

Idk. I just think pokemon would have done really well on that network

 

[osby]

It's funny when everyone is like "Metaphor is just fantasy Persona/SMT!" when the game itself, in no unclear terms, tells you that it's just fantasy Etrian Odyssey.

Happy 13th anniversary to Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3!

Which Nintendo game would work well as an indie throwback inspiration (like Paper Mario --> Bug Fables) and doesn't have one yet?

Good gameplay experience with a roster that’s still outdated but not as badly as mvc2s.

Honestly? Zelda II. I'm genuinely surprised nobody seems to want to work with that as the groundwork in itself is perfectly fine

That already exists, it's called Shovel Knight

I thought Shovel Knight was more inspired by stuff like Mega Man or Duck Tales.

Is DuckTales NES a Scrimblo Bimblo video game?

Considering how ravenous Pikmin fans are, there probably could be an indie Pikmin-like that dies really well.

And maybe golden sun too.

If Nintendo won’t give us another Tomadachi Life someone else should

Pokemon Channel except you're on your expensive ass space ship with your dog and you watch shows that parody cringe events on Earth like Hitler.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

That already exists, it's called Shovel Knight

Not really, Shovel Knight is more linear and Zelda II has the whole RPG angle that Shovel Knight doesn't have, Link needs to go to townsfolk to heal, learn new spells, fight enemies to get EXP and has to pay attention on how he swings his sword or position his shield to strike and parry respectively. Shovel Knight is a top tier platformer that I'll always hold dear but it's a very different game

This sounds like something id think up on 4 hours of sleep

It took me five minutes.

Edit: this isn't a brag. This is an example of why I don't go out anymore.

Sonic is canonically homeless.

I guess it makes sense. He doesn’t seem like the type to stay in one place for long. Or pay rent.

Adventure Time: Hey ice king why'd you steal our garbage? Is like the only Zelda 2 clone I can think of.

Book 8 is now done yet I’m still waiting for Book 4’s ending to lead somewhere

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Rewatched season 4 of Miraculous yesterday

Spoiler: Out-of-context spoilers (WATCH THE SHOW)

GODDAMNIT I'M REALLY SAD

WHY IS THIS SHOW SO UNBELIEVABLY PEAK???

 

[Aurane]

Wouldn't mind playing Pokemon Channel actually.

It's simple, easy, and you get a friend in the form of a couch potato.

damn dat Dandadan episode

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I thought Shovel Knight was more inspired by stuff like Mega Man or Duck Tales.

Not really, Shovel Knight is more linear and Zelda II has the whole RPG angle that Shovel Knight doesn't have, Link needs to go to townsfolk to heal, learn new spells, fight enemies to get EXP and has to pay attention on how he swings his sword or position his shield to strike and parry respectively. Shovel Knight is a top tier platformer that I'll always hold dear but it's a very different game

The game developers are on record as confirming that Shovel Knight's combat system, moveset (this doesn't fully apply to any of the other playable characters, who's attacks are often either fully unique or based on characters from other platformers) including Shovel Knight's downward "pogo shovel" attack, as well as the game's villages were all based on those of Zelda II.

There's heavy Mega Man influence as well), and while the game is clearly also a Metroidvania-type platformer, Zelda II itself is arguably an early example of that same genre both of it's namesakes later defined, and even without the leveling system, the direct influence from Zelda II's gameplay is absolutely there.

if they’re making a live action HTTYD does that mean we’ll get a live action shrek series?

Wait until Warner Bros. decides joining this train and does Iron Giant. Boy oh boy! Last thing we need is more live-action remakes! /s

Can these studios just leave these classics alone? If we wanna watch them, we'll just watch the animated ones.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

There's apparently live-action Miraculous Ladybug stuff coming as well, but I'm so whipped by this franchise that I'll eat right out of Jeremy Zag's hands, animated OR live-action

I am the rare MLB fan who genuinely loves MLB
