@Vortexeo That last thing you mentioned about the replays is so annoying, I agree. I like Ultimate (the only Smash game I own) and I think it has a lot of features, but it’s far from perfect.
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
@BabyYoda71The pokemon anime is horrid honestly. I used to watch it all the time as a kid, but I can't bring myself to do it now. I hate the voice direction for the characters, with most of the characters sounding like they're talking down to people, and I hate how dumb everyone is in the anime. Team Rocket disguises themselves in extremely transparent disguises, and Ash can't seem to see through them like how we as the viewers can?

@VoidofLight
Team Rocket have fairy dust from Cinderella's fairy godmother so their minimalist disguise are always undetected. 😂
Yeah, i would like to see Ash Ketchum grow up into handsome adult man.
Even Nate from Yokai Watch Shadow has been married and have his son.
I've heard good things about recent seasons of the Pokemon anime but I've never felt a need to go back to it. Everything I've ever heard of the post-4kids dub is the definition of "meh" and I just don't like the idea of a series going on forever with no end in sight like this, same protagonist and all (I already have Detective Conan for that, thank you very much). Though even if that wasn't all true, it's still a huge time investment I don't wanna bother with.
btw: I've been watching this series that's done a review of the Pokemon anime, episode to episode. It's given me a new appreciation for the first season, but its apparent even with his optimistic attitude towards it that it just stopped being that interesting a show by the time they got to Johto.
@VoidofLight I honestly despise everything about Team Rocket. I’m fine with the current anime (though there’s some parts I don’t like), but I can’t stand the original seasons.

I don't know if this in unpopular but I've never seen anyone complaining about it: the item weight limit in Skyrim is 1000x worse/more annoying that item durability in BotW. Last night I completed a objective for the Jarl who rewarded me with some armor that put me over the weight limit. I thought, "No problem, I'll just do what I did in Oblivion" and I dropped a weapon that I didn't need anymore. Then I was told to follow because there was news of a dragon attack. But while I was listening to this very important conversation about dragons and what I would do next, suddenly my character whips around out of my control and the subtitles change because I am now being scolded by some random guard for dropping a weapon on the floor where someone could trip and get hurt, and if I do it again I will be in serious trouble. So I missed the conversation about what I'm supposed to do next, I picked the weapon back up and had to crawl slower than a turtle for what felt like 30 minutes across town until I could find a store to sell my stuff. Give me having one weapon break but I have 50 more in my inventory any day of the week.
On the topic of the Pokemon cartoon, I thought the the Kanto season was alright for the most part, it didn't have the pacing problems of the other seasons where any and every Pokemon needed an entire episode to fill out the episode count for the season. Not that I would bother watching any season of Pokemon now though, I've don't have the time to watch actually good shows let alone something I know is gonna be rubbish. ;p
Bravely Default II's weight system isn't bad honestly. It helps with the strategy aspect of the game, until you get the higher asterisks which buff the weight stat.

I mean, its reasonable that some game somewhere would be able to outdo games that old. And yet looks at Star Fox 64, Yoshi's Island and Banjo Kazooie.
That being said, how old they are makes me look at those games kinda differently. Mario 3 in particular is not the best Mario game, and I don't think that's that controversial to say anymore, but its still a miracle of a game for NES in a way that later Marios almost can't be (or if they are, its only because a high profile 3d platformer existing from like 2007 through 2013 was a miracle by itself). That's why I kinda like the original Blaster Master more than Zero, despite the fact that Zero is obviously better. But for an NES game Blaster Master is an incredible achievement, while Zero is just another well made retro 2d platformer.
@Oswinner I don’t think that’s a very fair comparison, even between DKC2 and SMB3... the gap in technology is just too big to quantify. Comparing the first Yooka-Laylee to the second would be a more fair one in my view.
A comparison between the original SMB and SMB3 is difficult because it was on the exact same hardware yet looked very different.
@TheJGG Comparing YL2 to DK or SMB3 makes more sense than comparing it to YL1, YL1 is a 3D collectathon whilst YL2 is a 2D platformer. It would be like comparing New Super Mario Bros to Super Mario Sunshine.
It's a fair comparison as it's more of statement that YL2 is a top tier classic 2D platformer and SMB3 and DK2 are still standard setters.
I really like YK2, it brought new ideas and it's fun. DKCRTF edges it as the best 2D platformer in the last 10 years imo as the boss fights are better but YK2 is great.
@TheJGG as @jump says, I was only comparing similar 2D platformers against each other. And of course, there is a 25 year+ gap between them so YL2 should win. But when I read a lot of people’s opinions they still think DKC2 and SMB3 are better. Which I disagree with, although DKC2 and SMB3 are still remarkable games to this day.
I haven’t tried DKC:TF yet, really looking forward to it. Will get to it after I’ve finished DKC2, DKC3 and DKC:R...!
That being said, how old they are makes me look at those games kinda differently. Mario 3 in particular is not the best Mario game, and I don't think that's that controversial to say anymore, but its still a miracle of a game for NES in a way that later Marios almost can't be (or if they are, its only because a high profile 3d platformer existing from like 2007 through 2013 was a miracle by itself).
I'd not be so sure about that, there's a good case for it to be the best Mario game. Based on Nintendo Life user rankings, it's in third place behind only World and 3D World + Bowser's Fury (the latter of which isn't credible since it has only 75 user ratings rather than thousands like other Mario games have). Granted, there are some incredibly stupid opinions there (Lost Levels and 64 DS should be higher).
