@TheStardustWarrior My bad. I guess I like to keep things short and sweet. lol

@Sunsy Ah really? That's cool. We actually had MiM for the SNES, I was thinking it'd be like the Mario platformers that Nintendo made themselves. Turns out that wasn't the case. I'd wander around the stages, not knowing where to go and what to do. And I didn't even know it's an edutainment game until much later. I'm not the biggest fan of it myself.

All righty - I actually really like how Disney+ has all this content that spans across multiple generations. Not only does it have something for everyone, but it shows off a massive chunk of Disney's history as well. That's cool, I don't think I had something like what you've had. Either way, we both grew up with Disney in some form.

@Tyranexx If I do get BDSP, I don't think I'd be facing off with the jogger too much, lol. I'm not a morning person whatsoever. Gotcha, it's good. I don't judge others based on their skill level, because I'm a nice guy!

I haven’t been able to battle a Jogger in over a hundred hours of gameplay.

@Anti-Matter It's alright.

@MarioLover92 Yeah, she always asks me if they're going to re-release it. I don't think they are, IIRC, Nintendo didn't develop it. Yeah, I didn't know what Mario Is Missing was when playing it. I remember we also rented Mario's Time Machine, which I knew was educational going by the homework mini-game. I remember the multiple choice questions, not bad in any educational game... except the answer choices were endless.

Yeah, I'm just really surprised how far back the catalog goes. I still notice some shows are missing. Example, Sofia the First is not on Disney+, and it's stuck on Netflix. Saddens me a bit too, since I'm working through Elena of Avalor, a show that spun-off Sofia the First, and enjoying it so far. Sofia and Elena were even in a TV movie together called Elena and the Secret of Avalor, which is not on Disney+ either.

Some Elena/Sofia lore, in spoilers, giving you an idea how the two tie together. In Sofia the First, Sofia wears an amulet called the Amulet of Avalor (this show was made years before Elena of Avalor too). One day, Sofia learns there's a princess trapped insider her amulet. Elena was placed in the amulet by a wizard to protect her from the evil Shuriki, who took over the land of Avalor. It was up to Sofia to free Elena, and help her take back Avalor. To think all this started from a little princess Disney was marketing to young kids.

@Sunsy
I was wondering why don't the kids franchises from Disney Channel or Disney Junior get the modern video games version but they got the mobile style games version instead?
Some modern Nickelodeon Jr franchises got the games on modern consoles but still no franchises from Disney Junior get the games on modern consoles. Imagine if Sofia the First, Handy Manny, The Lion Guard, etc got published by OG Games on PlayStation / Nintendo / XBOX machines.
Speaking about OG Games, I found Dragons: Dawn of the New Riders was quite interesting for me after I randomly watched How to Train Your Dragon gameplay on PS3 from YouTube.

@Anti-Matter My only guess is because some parents give kids the phone to occupy them, my guess is this, so they're going where the target audience is. Honestly I feel for it because I enjoy cartoon tie-in games. This is why Smurfs Mission Vileaf coming to console and PC was a big deal to me, as well as the upcoming My Little Pony game (I loved the new movie, so I want to play it).

I would love a Sofia the First game, that show had a lot more adventurous elements to it than early learning stuff other Disney Junior shows do. It did have nice lessons like the episode where Sofia befriended a shy princess named Vivian, but also, it had a lot of adventurous moments like Sofia and her sister Amber saving the kingdom from the evil Ivy. Stuff like that could work in a game. Genuinely a good show IMHO.

I do remember Sofia and Elena's creator tweeting about wanting Sofia and Elena in Disney Infinity, but they cancelled it before it could even be pitched. Which would have been cool to have.

Cool. Hey OG Games, you did Spirit and How To Train Your Dragon, both DreamWorks franchises. Give us Trolls fans a game too. I wanna explore around Trolls village as Poppy on my Switch or PC. At least Microids did make a great Smurfs game. Yeah, after losing Trolls Pop on mobile, I really want a console/PC Trolls game.

@Sunsy Ahh! That's comin right up, greatest wishes hope you have wonderful one! Ahh i see.. I still need to catch up and watch Sonic 1. Yea.. loving every second of that game . Ayy Paladins.. I miss the 3rd person mode in that game.

@Tyranexx It's a really awesome experience so far! The power-ups, the upgrade mechanic, and the mouthful mode are all serious additions! Also, just by far the level design is that Nintendo awesome. I totally hear you on wanting to experience it purely. Oh nice, looks like you're kirby-ing out anywho xD.

@MarioLover92 Oh nice that's always cool! It'd be nice to meet em and we'll definitely hit the tracks! It'll be some chaotic karting fun

Btw.. It'd be cool if you guys joined my discord server! Anyone wanna join my discord server? Feel free to let me know, I'm still getting used to it but we're there!

I want to be good at fighting games so bad, and I think I'm sorta am, just anxiety keeps me from playing them online every time, sorry I just dropped this comment in here.

It just sucks, one of my favorite types of video games every, and I can't even play them ):

@Snatcher
You can try ARMS or K-1 games on PS2. They don't have very complicated Special moves like Street Fighter or King of Fighter games. In ARMS, you just only press the R & L buttons quickly when unleashing Super power. You can practice vs CPU in lowest level if you have anxiety.

@Anti-Matter I'm not a big SF fan, but I love other fighters like DBZ, I used to be able to play them online just fine, but idk, I took a break for a wile and then, I just couldn't, I can't even play smash.

Thing is, if I force myself to play a match or two, it just goes away, so the hard part is really hyping myself to play a match to begin with, because I love inputs, and I love learning combos.

@Snatcher
You know what?
When I built my PS3 games, I dare myself to pick never before played games as long still for kids and I got new experience from playing those games. I quickly adapted the gameplay from PS3 games such as Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, Rango, Tintin, G-Force, Mini Ninjas, Skylanders, etc.

As same analogy for fighting games, you can practice vs CPU first with lowest level. You can try ARMS for easier choice than Street Fighter as you just only use extended arms to hit the opponent. It takes some determination and practices to able to like games with genre you still bad on it.

@Anti-Matter Yeah. I still feel like I play them offline to much as I could do a CPU on the highest level in most fighters I play, and there just not enough anymore? But then I still cant go online, I feel like I'm just making it harder for myself, I just need to play.

Because half the time when I force myself, I go from "I'm about to sit here getting my butt handed to me, oh goody" to "Wow this is actually fun, what was I so scared about anyway" Next day, it resets, but I don't force myself, so I know that I will Enjoy it, its just about getting myself into a game first.

@Sunsy Yeah, both were made by Software Toolworks. Nintendo just let them use their characters, IIRC. I've seen videos of Mario's Time Machine as well. And yeah...it doesn't look that great, to put it lightly. I mean, one of the first things the game has you do is fill in a huge amount of blanks. If only Nintendo had that time travel concept themselves, that would've been the Sonic CD of Mario games!

That's kind of weird, honestly...Sofia was made by Disney themselves, from what I can tell anyway. I guess they gave Netflix the rights or something.

@tekoii I'll let you know what they think.

@Snatcher I'm kind of like that, I would really have to be in the mood to play something like Smash Bros., for example. Thing is, there are some wicked-good players online, and I keep losing. What I like doing is if I don't have enough experience with a certain character, I'd get a feel for them in training mode. Otherwise, I stick with any character who I'm best at using, like Mario for example.

@tekoii Thank you. Hope you watch Sonic 1, really is a great movie. Cool, I always played first person, but I remember when the game had the third person option.

@Snatcher Usually with fighting games, I tend to play online mostly with friends. Did play some Pokken Tournament on Wii U online back when it was new, but that's about it.

@MarioLover92 Yup, it's kind of like the same scenario with Mario Teaches Typing, I played that at school. It was the Mac version, which had some nice midi versions of Mario music (I heard the DOS version was a bunch of beeps). Oh my gosh, I would love a Mario CD of sorts, I like the time travel element of Sonic CD.

Yup, Sofia was created by Disney. The only thing I could think of is that Netflix has a deal with Disney, and it's stuck there until it expires, I first saw Sofia on Netflix in 2017. It's definitely Disney, since you like Belle, here's a clip of Sofia meeting Belle, most of the princesses (and Olaf) all make an appearance in the show.

@MarioLover92 I have a good few characters like that, I just wish I could get myself to feel the way I do feel after a few games, so I could just play online without a care, just get better, thats usually how I look at things, If I suck at a game, I would just get better, that used to work when I first started playing.

Mario is pretty fun actually, dude is just the perfect all rounder.

@Sunsy Pokken is actually a odd one, it was tekken and pokemon, but, its odd they never made a 2nd game, they had something going there.

So I have been replaying the original paper Mario again. I have never been able to get into the game in other playthroughs and just got bored. But something must have changed because this game is amazing. The only fault I have so far is locking action commands until about 2 hours into the game. I haven’t finished it yet, but so far it is number 3 in my rankings behind oragami king and super.( haven’t played TTYD yet but that will soon change.)

Well, they did the enhanced Switch port for it, @Snatcher .... Not sure how long ago that was but didn't it do well? So, there's certainly a chance of another at some point! At least more than if they hadn't ported the existing 1

@BruceCM Well I'm not sure if it did well, from what I heard everything just slowly when't dark you know?

@Snatcher Agreed, Pokken Tournament is really one of the most underrated fighters I've played. There was a Switch port for Pokken, but never a sequel. Honestly, I wouldn't mind one. Pokemon with Tekken style fighting was a fun mix.

Hmm, I think I saw an article that suggested that, @Snatcher .... It's certainly a bit soon to say there definitely won't be another 1, at least Afraid I prefer proper Tekken but I remember trying the demo for it & it was pretty good

@Sunsy I think so as well, I would be down for a new game any day! (Love the new PFP BTW)

@BruceCM I guess, just looking at other games that came out in a much smaller time frame from one another, or the same, and pokken getting left out just sucks.
