@JoeSooper "Am I a pretty girl?"

Can't wait to see the alts finished - hopefully there's more than 1 per fighter!

@Clyde_Radcliffe It's basically a real time dialogue-less point and click adventure with a protagonist who actively tries to go against your clicks. It's a hilarious game.

That's a decent line up, just wish it had Ms; New Adventures; and World.

Also, wouldn't there be rights issues for Pac-In-Time given the whole Fury of the Furries thing?

This looks absolutely terrible. Nick Brawl beat out Ultimate in every way for me, this can do better with a much higher budget.

@Azuris No, the problem here isn't the games being identical - the problem is that Pearl's data is literally IN the ROM for Diamond and vice versa.

Didn't Nintendo also say the "NX" wasn't a replacement for the Wii U?

Can we please just outright criminalise this NFT BS now?

Ahh yes, perfect timing.

Best 3D Mario game.

Really cool to see lesser known Mario IPs get the Lego treatment. I don't usually buy stuff like this but Lego WarioWare would be something to consider.

Sonic 2 8-bit gets a bad rep - the Game Gear version is terrible, but the Master System version is platforming bliss.

Hopefully they'll have the Peppino plush.

More appropriate than the other acronym for Sun and Moon.

I went to Holland once. There was a Mario shop, but it certainly wasn't Nintendo-sanctioned.

Unironically worth the £25 microtransaction.

It's really cool how Unite is taking from lesser loved and generally less marketable Pokémon instead of exclusively starters, legendaries, and whatever flavour-of-the-gen furry trended on Twitter one time.

@Angelic_Lapras_King No licensed games would be a real bummer for something like this. I always disliked how the Nintendo VCs only ever had once licensed game, and not even a good one (NES TMNT on Wii)

Just let us pay for and own the damn games. I want to have them on my Switch home screen for one!

Wasn't Emily Rogers the person who posted " #2016" with stolen fanart of Kumatora attached?

Just call your game 0000000000000000000

It's awesome when rereleases give frame rate options like this. Should be the standard for any game that was originally released at below 60.

Nintendo having more respect for other big game devs than their own fans...

Unsurprising.

@KillerBOB Worthy price to pay I say.

@KillerBOB That line of thinking is called basic morality.

@Specter_of-the_OLED That would only ever work if Samus was like Doctor Who, Spider-Man or Link where they swap her out with a reincarnation or alternate universe self every other instalment - and even if was it'd still have the potential to horribly backfire good as the intentions are.

Giving a game with Fixed Gold Evil Baby Paul (Shiny) anything other than a 10? shm

Jokes aside, I think this is the case of a game being assigned the wrong reviewer. Once you put aside the memey humour and Wario aesthetic influence, this game is made fans of 80s arcade games first and foremost. If you grew up on Namco Museum, the (older games on) Virtual Console, or in the pre-crash 80s you'll adore this, but if you're looking for a proper Wario-like platforming experience it's best to wait for Pizza Tower.

I'm a single player guy and this has been one of the best purchases I've made in years because I'm in the extremely niche target audience - I grew up on Dig Dug; DK Jr.; and Mappy thanks to rereleases so I know how 80s arcade games work on the simplest level, (the shoulder bash not being an offensive tool is typical of the era, and wouldn't work if modernised into an enemy-disposal move because it'd just erase both the point of enemies as stage-narrowing hazards and the risk-reward nature of the shoulder bash, increasing mobility but also ball speed) discrediting Punch Ball mode with "there's a reason Mario went Super" frankly shows the lack of knowledge this reviewer has for the game's very intention and the individual merits of both, the original Mario Bros. detached from later releases, and single player score attack games in the modern age as a whole.

Rainbow Juice is absolutely worthy of the #2 spot for the music alone - Drawbridge Dilemma comes very close too, as much as I love GIT Drawbridge Dilemma was the only part of the game that gave me that same sense of wonder the more atmospheric parts of the early WarioWares gave me as a kid.

@Lando_ Unironically agree. Pythra make me sick.

Awesome to see the NES version's logo return

The mentality Nintendo fans have over Bayonetta 3 is a stark contrast over their mentality towards Rare Replay

retro game auctions 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

"Not a nugget" is a very apt name.

Chicken fries, now there's a good career choice!

Mario 3 beat Persona 5 💃💃💃💃💃😎😎😎😎

Also, no Crash 2?

Been waiting for this all year!

Reminds me a little of Homer and Bart in Crash Bash.

@Vexx234 A majority of the Smash cast were created for absurd reasons - Diddy Kong? glorified life bar. Kirby? Placeholder graphic. Banjo? NPC turned protagonist. At least Waluigi's creation was for an in-universe reason.

Wait, people still think wanting Waluigi in Smash is a meme? It's not, the memes came from wanting Waluigi - not the other way around.

Is that an orange coaster? Please be Daisy, please be Daisy...

@Freddyfred It's probably gonna be that... that being said, god would I love a SpongeBob corridor platformer.

I can't wait to be forced to make videos about games I neither like nor understand just to keep the lights on!

@Dakotastomp Messy 3-way problem:

-FOP is co-owned and co-created by Frederator, who currently work with Cartoon Network
-FOP's earlier seasons (the good ones) were distributed outside of the US by Nelvana, not Nick.
-FOP's creator, Butch Hartman, is a known ego-maniac and it's often rumoured he requires royalties for his characters to be used. This is backed up by how his name is usually the one of two to show up on copyright disclaimers on crossovers alongside Stephen Hillenburg (which is likely because he made Nick's biggest show and thus the one that usually gets top billing on promo material/shifts the most copies)

Danny, who is notably in the game but also a Hartman creation, was made in-house at, and distributed by, Nick so they'd likely just need to pay Hartman (assuming the rumours are true) and go.

@Aurumonado Supposedly Timmy has some copyright issues following him - I don't know about Jimmy though.

Every "take video game music seriously!" plea has been unsuccessful because the examples people are using are songs from games they like and not songs that stand on their own. The best songs in gaming tend to come from failed mascots, poor licensed games, and consoles that have fallen out of modern retro conversation. Mumbo's Mountain or N. Sanity Beach ain't gonna cut it, put on some Follin or Hubbard and outsiders will know where you're coming from

@SuperCharr Do you like monopolies?

Unironically worth every penny, if not more.

@Silly_G The two peaks of Pokémon's popularity were Gen 1 and the release of a spin-off using, at the time, entirely Gen 1 Pokémon - as great as it'd be to have more merchandise for later gens, it's undeniably the most marketable gen and, for better or for worse, money talks.

TBH I think this looks on-par with Smash and possibly even better. A bigger, flashier, more polished game does not inherently mean a better game - watch MK8D and CTRNF side-by-side and Mario takes an easy crown, play CTR after a round of Mario Kart and the marsupial underdog comes out on top by an even bigger landslide.

Consistently the best platformers back in the 90s and 00s, and consistently the best minigame compilations from the 00s to today. He may be a cheapskate, but Wario always delivers.

Except Master of Disguise, that was pretty crap. Eh, nobody's percect.

@CharlieGirl Boycott culture deflects blame from corporations and onto consumers. It's also highly hypocritical to promote an ActiBliz boycott on a website named after a company that supports Chinese forced child labour.

And even if it did actually work, you're still shaming people for enjoying a game or series. Not a good look.
