We posting Gor?

Here we are, this is Gor. The only thing General Grievous probably still cared about besides his collection of fine Lightsabers.

 

[Z25]

Shroob definitely led with that Gen 2 take so he could sneak in the Edelgard take (we'll be too busy talking about Pokemon).

We see you my guy

idk never played Three Houses

Neither have I tbh, I just thought it'd be funny to throw in 2 whatever things and then something super controversial.

I was about to see, that’s the worst take possible lol.

Fire emblem fans still try to excuse the amount of hoops the writing had to jump through to try and justify her actions lol.

I think one of my biggest asks is Krunch. We may never get a new Diddy Kong Racing, but Nintendo owns that guy specifically and it would be a nice little bone to throw him in there.

Beyond that, and most of the characters you listed, I would like to see Captain Syrup, Vivian, Geno, and Mallow. Oh. And Tatanga. Seeing him and Wart in a new Mario game would be amazing.

I recently watched Super Eyepatch Wolf's new wrestling video and yeah, I think it is inevitable that I will develop a Pro Wrestling hyperfixation at some point, I can feel it waiting in the wings.

This **** is just Vtubers but real.

also I need Vince McMahon to [redacted]

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I am curious if they will still bother with a battle mode in World

I saw someone suggest a Mario Kart Battle Royale as this games Battle Mode, and now I want that to happen.

It's barely noticable but people noticed icons for a balloon and a coin when Nintendo Treehouse picked modes on their streams, if you look at the maps, you can see some areas that are shaped like circles and have no purpose beyond Baby Park clones unless Battle Mode is back. Personally, I hope they just have Balloon Battle be fights to the death again like in the good old days instead of letting people respawn

Yeah that got me into a rabbit hole, thank god I have no clue how to watch wrestling cause no way in hell am I paying subscriptions or whatever for something strictly out of morbid curiosity

New donker and viruses would be a lot of fun. Could see at least one of those two get in. A lot of this list feels fair game though.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

for the big Mario Kart World direct I predict…and this is gonna sound crazy…gameplay

 

[HyperSomari64]

before someone ask it, NO, it's obvious that Project X Zone 3 won't be revealed in the Mario Kart World direct.

Have a good night. need some sleep

Project X Zone Warriors when?

 

[Z25]

The Daredevil finale was pretty good for a show they had to stitch together.

My predictions for where they are going after that cliff hanger:

Spoiler

I think for locks on Matt’s team we are going to have Frank, Swordsman, White Tiger, and bullseye, as well as one or two defenders( I’m thinking Luke cage and/or Jessica jones)

As for possibilities

Kate Bishop and Ms Marvel: both their fathers showed up this season. If Kate’s is kidnapped, I feel like she probably would take note of him being missing as he is the last family she has.

Kamala’s dad also worked in the city and I feel like she wouldn’t sit by and watch her dad’s life be at risk for work everyday.

Also if Kate comes in, she could potentially bring Clint with her too. Jeremy Renner would definitely bring people back.

Echo: I haven’t gotten to watch her show yet so I don’t know what happens. But she’s kingpin’s daughter sort of. I can’t see her letting him get away with this.

Lastly this is more of a hope/want, but give us Moon Knight and/or Layla/Scarlet Scarab.

They don’t even need much of a reason, just give us street level moon knight. You could have it where Layla moved to New York and calls Mark up to tell him what’s going on, leading him to show up in the city and start throwing hands.

Plus why not capitalize on his popularity in Rivals and do something with the character again.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

We posting Gor?

Here we are, this is Gor. The only thing General Grievous probably still cared about besides his collection of fine Lightsabers.

I just got back in here after sleeping and I see this.

Maybe it's my soft spot for monster designs, but...I love him.

 

[Noipoi]

Clearly I've gotten Smashboards confused with LiveLeak

[KingofPhantoms]

Even one of Star War's worst villains had a soft spot for him. He's still a vicious bloodthirsty creature who'll eat or kill anyone who isn't Grievous or allied with him, though.

 

[Knight Dude]

Yeah, I'd argue that the battle system (probably) sets it apart from an action RPG, but with how much high-budget games lean to customization, it's getting harder to say what is an RPG and what's not.

That's why I'm annoyingly pedantic about genres myself.

All I know I hate the term "Character Action" Hack N' Slash is fine by me though.

Diddy, Dixie, Poochy, Funky? Basically anyone who was in Tour I think has a decent shot. Petey and Para Koopa are the only Double Dash characters missing so maybe them too.


If we're talking people who are outright new, Captain Syrup or E.Gadd I guess. **** it, put in K.Rool or Lanky Kong if you feel like it.
Still need to see Black Yoshi. I imagine Hammer Bro should have the other variants like Fire/Ice/Boomerang.

 

[Thegameandwatch]

prince Florian

Not even sure since he could have the same fate as Cappy of just being one off.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Is it Toadsworth's time to shine?

 

[Knight Dude]

If he has the gold car again, I'd be fine with Toadsworth showing up. Assuming he isn't literally dead like fans joke about.

I'm pretty certain that the next season Frank Castle and Jack Duquesne will hopefully have a bit more of a role in the second season as well as Angela del Toro very likely to handle her late uncle's mantle as the new White Tiger.

I also think that Jessica Jones is pretty likely and would it be wrong if I be also hoping for Colleen Wing's Iron Fist too?

Echo: I haven’t gotten to watch her show yet so I don’t know what happens. But she’s kingpin’s daughter sort of. I can’t see her letting him get away with this.

If I do recall, she and Daredevil did had a brief encounter during the first episode of Echo. I think there is a possibility that Matt might consider looking in to recruiting Maya.

 

[Knight Dude]

Managed to get another quick drawing finished. But it was one I've found myself pretty happy with it. I've also got around to watching the Class Action Park documentary when I was working on it. That guy was a real tool, and it's crazy how much he got away with for Action Park.

Mario Kart Link for those interested.

Well there is stuff to do in free roam.

 

[cashregister9]

I feel like we didn't learn any more than we knew previously. We know what the food does, Battle mode exists, the weird rewind function, and there are things to do on the open world (And they may unlock things but they never actually clarify, but the video heavily implies it.) but like that is all the new stuff that wasn't either in gameplay or the Switch 2 direct

Also oh God every direct from here on out is going to have an extended Game chat section, isn't it?

I mean it's revolutionary. Voice chat in a video game, why that's just unheard of. Nintendo has to let the world know that they figured out something that has been done since... 1999 with the Sega Dreamcast

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I slept through the Mario Kart direct but looking at reactions it's safe to assume that they really didn't prove the game was worth $80

 

[Noipoi]

This direct could’ve been an email

DREAMCAST ON TOP YET AGAIN

 

[PLATINUM7]

Built in cross game streaming on the console seems like a nice feature though. Just wish it wasn't so choppy. Also would be cool if it stayed free.

 

[Knight Dude]

Well, they confirmed you can just do the tracks in a more classic style, at least for VS Mode, but I'm guessing the "No intermissions" means the lack of transitions between courses for the Grand Prix. Which would be cool, I can see myself switching between the two off and on. Time Trial is there too, for each individual course, and I guess Special Cup might just be 4 or so Rainbow Road courses? Battle mode seems to have actual locations I think? Jumps being added to drifts is neat I guess.

The overworld having MK DS style missions makes a lot of sense, and is pretty much what you'd expect from an open world MK game.

I wonder if there's still extra characters they haven't shown off yet or not, cause I just wanted to see Diddy Kong and/or Dixie.

I slept through the Mario Kart direct but looking at reactions it's safe to assume that they really didn't prove the game was worth $80

No game was gonna be worth 80 bucks. People got annoyed at the chat spamming LOWER THE PRICE, but honestly, it's more annoying that they want to charge that much, and proves some people would rather eat whatever a company throws at them than be slightly annoyed at people being justifiably angry over what's clearly them trying to see what they can get away with.

This direct could’ve been an email

Honestly yeah.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I guess Special Cup might just be 4 or so Rainbow Road courses?

I think people have already pieced together the final cup and there's only one Rainbow Road course.

 

[Noipoi]

I mean the game still looks really cool but they barely showed anything we didn’t know about for weeks. They implied there’s more to uncover, but I doubt it’ll be too much more. I was really hoping for a story mode too.

They still aren’t really justifying the $80 price tag which is why I’m getting the bundle

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I don't doubt that this Mario Kart game is fun but I was hoping this direct would justify it being $80 which, from what I am seeing, it did not

 

[osby]

which is why I’m getting the bundle

It seems everyone will do that.

My guess is that's why they priced it so high in the first place.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Didn’t show much we didn’t know already, maybe 3 or 4 things. Rainbow Road tease was cool at least, and the game still looks really fun in general. I was hoping they’d show how to unlock characters. The loss of customizable karts is also a shame (though at least there’s still different karts to choose from), and I don’t get why costumes are separate slots instead of an extra option when selecting a character but that’s just a nitpick.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

It seems everyone will do that.

My guess is that's why they priced it so high in the first place.

High class scummy action

 

[TheMightyP]

Yeah this is not an $80 game. Looks really fun though.

Drop the price
