@VrginX Damn.

But will you still be able to earn Platinum Coins with this version? That's the big question here.

@Strictlystyles Being blatant Sonic clones is the whole reason the Freedom Planet games were as popular as they were. That alone should tell you that as long as a game plays exactly like Sonic, the Sonic fandom WILL play it no matter what.

Coincidentally, the original Resident Evil game was just inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame today. Other inductees of the Class of 2024 included Asteroids, SimCity, Myst, and Ultima.

@FishyS There are other comments on the round up article also questioning why NL ignored the higher score reviews. This review just feels like someone didn't want to review this in the first place and based their review on the low score reviews from other sites.

So this is why the review round up article only showed low scoring reviews and none of the high scoring ones for Endless Ocean. It was to justify THIS review.

@Grumblevolcano At this point, people just want a Mario Kart 10.

@RobTheIII Yeah, but that's Reddit. Much like Twitter, they're ALWAYS angry about something.

Did anyone else think this was going to be an Alice in Wonderland collab at first?

Why do I feel like votes WEREN'T counted and this list is just one person's opinion? Some of these characters (like Arthur Morgan and anyone from Baldur's Gate 3) have no business being on a list of video game icons because they are nowhere near that status.

Some of these characters should also not be on here because other characters are much more iconic. Why would Agent 47, Kazuma, and Ellie be on here over the likes of Ryu, Scorpion, and Doom Slayer? Hell, I'd say the likes of Claude Speed and Carmen Sandiego are more iconic than them. Joel alone would be more iconic and loved than Ellie is, at the very least.

And of course the order needs to changed. There is no way Mario and Pac-Man shouldn't be first and second respectively. Pikachu, Sonic, and Link should also be the third, fourth, and fifth spots.

Checks date to see that it's three day after April 1

So you're actually serious about this? You do know there are worse things going on in the video game industry than this, right?

So Krome Studios is now the new Valve if there's no 3. Or better yet.

Re-release Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1
Re-release Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2
???????????
Profit with Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 4

Not going to lie. This is kinda underwhelming for the final batch of Spirits. I figured they were going to do something big, considering the wait after the first three batches (the first three came in rapid succession), but it looks like they were just waiting for Peach's new game to release instead.

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot Phantasy Star hasn't even been nominated at any point yet. Does that game even qualify for such an honor; i.e. does it have icon status, longevity, geographical reach, and influence?

It should get in this year. Out of the nine previous years, only two of them did not induct a Nintendo game, BUT every year DID induct at least one game that has been represented in the Smash Bros. series in some form or another. Metroid will most likely get in for being a Nintendo game, while Resident Evil might get in since this is the third time it's been nominated (this is Metroid's second time).

If Metroid and Resident Evil do get in, I wonder what the other four games will be. The last time the Hall of Fame inducted six games at the same time was the second year, back in 2016. After that they've always only inducted four games at a time.

Wouldn't be the first time Pokémon foreshadowed the next game in some way.

Also, to go off topic for a moment, but the original Metroid game has been nominated for the World Video Game Hall of Fame this year.

Figured that since it is a Nintendo game and this is a Nintendo site, it would make sense to bring this to your attention.

I'm just waiting for the final batch of Spirits. Will they be based off of Nintendo games released after Ultimate finished (like Mario Wonder or Kirby Forgotten Land) or will we be getting more third-party spirits?

You know, for a company so desperate for that Japanese money that they're willing to put their games on the Switch and possibly the PS5 soon, you would think Microsoft would keep this team so they can put out Crash and Spyro games in Japan since those games (especially Crash) are popular over there.

Chaos returns.

@Axecon It might as well be. Six episodes, each most likely 30 minutes long, that three hours of Knuckles plot.

I'd be surprised if other characters make an appearance. Aside from the Chaotix, imagine if Rouge debuted in this series/movie.

@MsJubilee Correction. They treat the COMPETITIVE Smash community like garbage and for good reason. Aside from the controversies that came out a few years ago, the competitive Smash community is a VERY SMALL, NICHE part of the overall fandom and act as if they are entitled to Nintendo's attention, even though they are NOT the main target audience of the Smash series.

You know that Zagreus is now qualifies for a roster spot in a future Smash game. Imagine him being playable and being the first character to represent rogue-like games.

I mean this should not be a surprise that the Game Awards are an embarrassment to the industry. The only reason these awards exist in the first place is so Geoff could make himself feel important and part of the video game industry without actually putting in the effort like most of the game developers do.

And I still wish I could have played it.

@Anti-Matter You don't seem to like a LOT of things since all you ever seem to do around here is spout negativity. Have you ever said ONE positive thing on this site and if not, why are you here?

I'm guessing either Good Vibes Gaming or DidYouKnowGaming.

Did they even have merch on their website to begin with? Every time I went on it was as if they hadn't even set up the merch yet to be sold. And right now it's as if the Van Gogh stuff doesn't even exist.

@Cashews You must live a very sad life if this of all things upsets you. What's next? You going to get upset over the "Dr. Who" episode that's all about Van Gogh, 'cause that's no different from this; using a fictional character to get people interested in an artist. It shouldn't matter how children get interested in art, as long as they are interested is what matters in the end.

Ah yes, Benny. My favorite Pokémon. Now we just need a Space Jam parody with Nintendo characters instead of Looney Tunes.

I also like how LeBron James is just an edited Giovanni sprite. They have so much in common, too, as both are arrogant, egotistical, and villainous.

Gastrodon seems to be the go to Pokémon for these championships. Since 2019, Gastordon has been distributed five times, all of which had the same moveset more or less.

All five Gastrodon had Earth Power and Protect.
All five had an Ice-type move (usually Ice Beam, but this latest one had Icy Wind instead).
And the last move was either Recover (1st Gastrodon), Surf (2nd Gastrodon), or Yawn (3rd, 4th, 5th Gastrodon).

Nintendo needs to start distributing other Pokémon from these winning teams if they're going to keep doing this. Gastrodon has become ad nauseam at this point.

They really took a Fakemon and seriously made it official in a way.

The sad thing is that there are people praising this kid as a hero for standing up to "Big Bad Nintendo" when in reality he's just a brat who got caught stealing his dad's money and is desperate to pay him back. Hell, the fact that he's suing for JUST $170 should have been the first clue that something was wrong here.

On one hand it's that vegan crap. On the other, I would have at least wanted to get the cups to go with the ones I got from when Cold Stone Creamery had Nintendo flavor. Probably could have just got a juice or something and just asked for the Nintendo cups. Luckily I'm desperate to add these to my collection 'cause the closest Nékter shops to where I live are in Ohio and Illinois. No thank you, I'll just wait until a REAL ice cream place closer to home has another Nintendo promotion.

@Wilforce DDR is already inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Fun Fact: There have only been two years where a Nintendo game was NOT inducted into the Hall of Fame, those years being 2018 and 2020. At the same time, every year has had at least one inducted game from a series that is represented in the Super Smash Bros. series.

In all honesty, it's not that big of a loss.

Sora better get one. It would be asinine if he ended up being the only one who didn't get an Amiibo.

And Larry joins in on the Christmas fun with his snowflake hair, scarf, and little blue boots.

The original game is in the World Video Game Hall of Fame, so this reimage has big shoes to fill.

@sleepinglion They did. They just called it Tour instead.

And you thought Balan Wonderworld was rock bottom? This man said "challenge accepted" and went through bedrock.

Tell me. Was Iwata less of a person because he called himself a gamer?

@gloom Gives off the same energy as Chris Pratt during the first trailer introduction. So far Jack Black seems to be the only genuine one when it comes to playing video games.

@ScribbleDot It does feel like they're trying too hard to veer away from Peach's standard role as a character. Unfortunately, since this is an origin story of sorts, someone is needed to teach Mario the ins and outs of the Mushroom Kingdom and Peach is really the only one who can. Granted, they could have easily done this without giving Peach the personality you'd expect from Daisy.

@Tsuchinoko How old are you? Mario and Luigi being from Brooklyn before ending up in the Mushroom Kingdom has been a thing since the series began in the 80s.

The game will flop like Disney's latest animated film. People are just getting tired of woke BS. They want games and movies with characters that are MORE than just their race, gender, and/or sexuality. If you truly want a wonderful life, play the original, where the characters clearly had more personality and effort put into them.
