@anoyonmus Do you know the word disrespect means? Do you know what it means to be direspectful to someone? If so, then pick a comment here that was any way shape or form not respectful of Sakurai.

@nessisonett Funny, since alot of people in the UK do the same thing with Americans. People draw in broad strokes, and typically generalize. Especially those who've spent their entire lives in one area without visiting the world around them.

@HeadPirate What reviewers do that? I'd imagine it's a few outliers, because most major reviewers are clear everything they're saying is their subjective opinion.

@Serpenterror Well the team behind Mania was actually the orignal people Sega went to first when proposing a new entry in the classic series. For whatever reasons behind the scenes, it didn't go through.

Superstars was heavily influenced by Mania's success as it helped Sega realize there's room to bring back classic Sonic.

@fenlix I think Sonic Colors or Generations would be a better pick for 3d than Adventure 2 or Unleashed.

@LikelySatan Sega has a poor habit of not refining anything and tossing in gimmicks.

Poor Sonic has been through the ringer with half thought out ideas always added to the mix without care.

@HaileySheridon Sonic never took swimming classes.

@liljmoore Yes. Why? Because Sonic games are just not co-op friendly. As others stated, the concept behind Sonic is speed. The idea is to go as fast as possible to reach the goal in as little time as possible.

Mario? Mario is slower paced as the focus is more on platforming and exploration. Mario co-op can afford to be chaotic, because the foundation is built on platforming, which in turns means players can take their time working together.

Remove Sonic from the equation, and yes, you can make a co-op Sonic game, but then it's not a Sonic game. It's a spin-off.

The core problem here, is Sonic. The character himself can easily outrun the rest of the cast. It's hard to balance a co-op system around him. Sonic's greatest asset is also his greatest hindrance. Sonic works best when it's just a single player experience. Sega has to constantly make levels designed around high momentum.

Mario on the other hand doesn't have such a hindrance, which in turn allows Nintendo to pretty much put him into whatever, and the majority of the time, it still works.

@Purgatorium It's not literal haha. I just find it weird when someone says an opinion online in a public space, but then choose to disengage immediately when others start criticizing it.

I mean if you are going to share whats on your mind, you have to expect others will share what's on theirs too.

I wasn't trying to bash Ryu, just they reminded me of a few people who I've met in my time, that enjoyed saying how they feel, but didn't enjoy others disagreeing with said feelings. Instead of defending said position, explaining it thoroughly, they just say some line to shut down the conversation all together.

Something along the lines like "Well it's just my opinion". Which is yeah, but you shared it with me and now Im sharing mines.

@Ryu_Niiyama This is an open platform. When you made a comment you signed a contract stating you are welcoming all responses.

If you don't like people criticizing or disagreeing with you, then next time, just not say anything at all. You chose to engage, and now you're disengaging simply because you don't like the negative responses.

I mean, you are free to do that, but it reflects badly on you. "Ok, whatever, It's just MY opinion, bye now." is a poor attitude to have.

@Znake Haha, what? Nintendo doesn't favor complex storytelling by choice. It's always been Gameplay above all else.

Zelda is surface level by design. There is no deep whatever it is you wrote. if you found something good on you, but don't go throw people under a bus as if they idiots who can't think for themselves unless told.

Dark Souls as you mentioned is one the best selling franchises alone. That alone already throws away your argument people are spoiled by tons of cutscenes and being spoon fed.

@larryisaman Well I have good news and even greater news!

The good news is since it doesn't appeal to you, you don't have to feel obligated to play it.

The greater news is it appeals to a sizable portion, and they are having fun!

It's a win win deal for everyone!

@Bobb I miss the old days when games and media would imagine what the far flung future would be like. Some pretty wacky ideas.

Turns out 2015 was just meh.

@Ara Suddenly can? Just about every other Link is a new character within the context of the Zelda universe. There is no in universe reason for why he's silent, therefore there would be no need for a in universe reason why he can suddenly speak.

@Duffman92 While I wouldn't use youtube to do such a thing. It's not explicitly illegal to reverse engineer something. In this case a game. Just if you're going to pay someone to do that, you're better off doing it under the table.

@Giancarlothomaz Um. the protagonist was able and did speak in both films

@Sam_TSM That is the cycle of life. Adults cringe at teens, and those teens grow up to be adults who cringe at teens.

Life is just funny that way.

@wolfsniffer I'm not freaking out. If anything I'm making fun of everyone for it.

The weirdness and the double standard. If this were Zelda with her bosoms enhanced, half these comments would be saying how disgusting it is to treat fictional women like objects. Even better. Nintendolife's own staff would run an article decrying how "wrong" it is.

@Tyranexx Fair enough. I just felt 3 was peak and the rest felt lacking.

@Cashews People these days use alot of buzzwords that don't apply to the subject matter. It's strange.

Gonna be a skip for me. While I enjoyed the first 3 games. It was just a downgrade from 4 onwards.

@Fath What modern fare punches down at it's source material?

I thought the movie was awful. Too fast paced, hit or miss jokes (Bowser's song included), and the plot forgettable. Even if Bowser need a cartoonish villain song (ugh), it could have been better written.

It did stay true to is source material and embraced it, but didn't do much without it other than constant references.

The only thing I give points is the movie looks decent.

@GrailUK Eh, half the crap we do online is done without permission.

@PinderSchloss Don't know. It's weird. I never get the hate for critics. They watch a bunch a movies in a year yet people think they are a collective group of evil geniuses plotting to ruin things for the heck of it.

Even Nintendolife is getting a few grunts, and this site is pro Nintendo everything mostly.

@Olmectron Lego went Meta? What was Lego before? Just simple bricks.

Look, just because Mario in games don't have a plot shouldn't be a free pass for a movie of which is an entirely different medium not to try.

But hey, that's how I feel, and I want more from films than just shallow excuses.

@Mrkittyhead Games and movie are different. Just because the games don't have plot, shouldn't be a free pass for a movie not to try.

Lego are toys with zero plot yet have a film that showed what love and care about a brand can do. What's Mario's excuse?

I still don't know why Nintendo and Capcom haven't crossed over Mario and Resident evil yet. An Italian American mustachioed man, crazy off mushrooms, fighting is inner demons manifested as zombied goomba's.

@Ooyah That's nice and all, but people enjoy getting something in return for spending money. If it's free then they already have the best deal.

It's nice if you want to support something cause you care, but to others it's fair to ponder the worth of such a trade. Paying what you already get for free will naturally make people say "Well why bother then."

@Horace You did though. The first half of your comment is judging Charles voice performance. You assume that if given the chance, that is the voice he would use.

"I know one thing for sure and it’s that I definitely couldn’t stand to listen to Charles Martinet’s voice for an entire film. His “woohoo’s” work great in a game with next to no dialogue, but I couldn’t take an hour or more of “it’s a me…”"

No to Amy, but yes to everything else!

@gameboy1975 I didn't assume anything about you. I just said the majority of you. That implies a good chunk. If you aren't any of that, then that part of the comment isn't directed at you. Rather at the people who are.

That's why I made said sure to emphasis "majority."

Now if you wanna call me a hypocrite. Go for it. Everyone is a hypocrite to some degree. Even I am.

I'm not tripping over 10$, Im just expressing my criticism of it. And if you haven't noticed from my comment, I already expressed I wasn't. I will continually go on about it just as much as those who continually support it.

I'm not hurting over anything. Cheers mate!

@gameboy1975 Mate, I could afford a brand new cars off the lot, but I purchased a used one with low mileage that will last me for as long as new one.

I have the means to do alot of things. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

This is the problem here. You are using extremes as means to dismiss anyone who doesn't agree with the price increase. No 10$ isn't the end world and no is pretending it is. Many here are just calling it for what is.

The people who refuse to pay for it, have every right to voice their opinion just as much as the supporters here. Stating "It's just 10$" is a way of trying to dismiss, belittle, and make any dissenting opinion invalid.

Half you here throwing out words like "entitled", and how people are "privileged." Yet the majority of you have no idea who the people are behind these screens are, and how they spend their money.

Maybe and this is just a thought, but maybe they don't wanna waste 70$ on game. I know right? It has nothing to do with the poor shaming some of you are doing here. Just they don't wanna. Strange huh?

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed Just like we have to strong men everything!

Now everyone can be strong and independent and that's awesome.

@ItsATM Ah yes the classic snobbish "you are just too uncultured to understand" attitude. Sorry not everyone thinks highly of your favorite game. Now please by all means continue to whiff your own farts.

@tseliot Bigot? That's a mighty big accusation there. You sure you wanna stick with it?

@RareFan See, I disagree. That would not be unique. It would just be an old fashioned idea.

Modern times? You make it sound as if this trend has been going on for decades when in realty it's been a little more than 10 years.

Let's takes Disney for example. The last animated film of 2009 tried to fuse both ideas together. It failed because the strong woman they built up quite easily had everything handed to her in the end because she married a rich guy.

If were to measure that film from then till today on how much the medium has changed, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the decades prior where the status quo was men can do everything and women can't.

It's honestly not even a fair comparison. So no, making her a princess that needs to be rescued wouldn't be a unique. It would just be the same old idea Nintendo has stuck with since Mario's creation.

@Clammy It's been marked. By signing this contract you agree that once proven wrong you will wear the L on your head with pride as everyone returns to this comment to mock it.

@SonOfDracula It's not that you can't solve problems, it's just you can't solve every problem in the world. People in general focus more on the issues within their sphere rather than outside it.

Everyone is selfish and hypocritical to a degree. It's emotionally exhausting for us to try and fix everything happening way outside our sphere.

Helping someone in need is good. Trying to solve every problem in the world is not. It's okay care and sympathize, but if you burden yourself with trying to fix everything, you will find it emotionally exhausting, draining and slowly become detached as you'll see more problems than solutions.

@PinderSchloss I get you personally feel that, but doing one mildly passable thing in a pile of meh is not something worth applauding.

Sonic is over 30 years old old. Sega is not some indie studio, and this isn't Sonic's first big game. All these years and Sega still struggles to make a Sonic game that doesn't cause people to go "eh..." whenever they hear about a new title.

Sega has long since burned whatever soft passes they had. I don't think the reviewer set out with malicious intent, just brutal honesty with their experience.

@Vexx234 Plus, instead of new levels, the cyberspace portions are once again Sonic's greatest hits.

@ComfyAko I would argue AAA games have become stagnant when it comes to innovative gameplay as well.

It's always Graphics>Live Service. Micro transactions> Everything else.

@Shambo

Guy 1: "Honestly, I don't care who knows i did it, I'm just happy to have been apart of it"

Guy 2:"Yep gotta say it wasn't easy, but I did it all on me own I did!"

Guy 1: "Hey, bud what you doing claiming you created that! I'll have you know I spent hours and days bringing that idea to life and here you are patting yourself on the back for it!"

Guy 2: "Well, I mean you did say you didn't care if people knew your name or not."

@B3RTAY Good, but that's just you.

@Severian I enjoy how Inflation is the go to excuse now, and we should be happy grateful little gremlins. I should hope when that 70$ price tag triples that people remember Inflation and stop whining.

@Shade_Koopa Honestly, I don't care at this point. Consumers have let bad practices slip by so much that companies can get away with just about anything. So all there really is to do is laugh.

I pity no one.

@Manah You didn't attack me personally. I'm just saying your comment came off like we should be grateful. You have every right to be equally upset about the price tag.

I just don't like the idea that one side thinks the other should be grateful simply because X is more expensive due to location. It comes off as saying one side is privileged when that generalizes an entire nation.

@johnvboy And there is nothing wrong with that. People are entitled to be upset with something they disagree with, without being dismissed.

Would you prefer if Nintendolife made a new policy stating any, and all forms of criticisms are not welcomed? That way we can have nothing but positivity for the billion dollar company?

@Manah Hey, as an American you are always welcome to move here if you think the grass is greener. I can assure you, most of us will laugh when you find the harsh reality on the other side of the pond.

@victordamazio Money is not an issue huh? Well thank goodness you aren't charge. There is way more to it than simply having the money to do something.
