Wouldn't it be possible for the Switch's infrared sensor to be used as a subsitute for a low quality B&W camera? Can any techies here confirm or deny?

@SalvorHardin the NSMB series is certainly quite bland and homogeneous aesthetically, but I can't see how anyone could dislike the bah-bah dancing

@Lynas The only example I know of is Pac-Man not getting in Brawl after Miyamoto requested it.

Basically, what Miyamoto says goes... unless he actually has a good idea.

I thought this was a platformer with the fox as a protag for a second, and thought "wow, that character takes up WAY to much of the screen"

"Crap! The track record of past 3D Sonic games is too good! We have to go back and make the good one bad!"

This is kinda dystopian.

I think that SpongeBob art is new, right? From the alien vibe I wonder if it's some sort of Invader Zim crossover, or even a revived version of the third SpongeBob movie's scrapped alien cat plot?

Great time to be a fan of Nick games!

If it was a multiple character pack with Kitty, My Melody, Badtz Maru and one or two other Sanrio characters it'd be worth the price - still gonna pick it up at some point though, who doesn't have a "I put too many funds on the eShop so may as well spend it on overpriced junk I would've got earlier if it was cheaper" moment every now and then?

"Best 3D Sonic game"

NintendoLife based moments.

Oof. This is bad. Maybe tackle the industries pushing gambling instead of ficticious depictions? Same goes for smoking.

Thought that said "Space Guzzler" for a second, which is a hilarious vision.

@Toy_Link Dunno about Jimmy, but apparently Nick have been running into issues licensing out characters from Frederator's shows (which also includes other fan favourites like Teenage Robot, ChalkZone, and Fanboy & Chum Chum)

@Ragdoll72 @MagicEmperor I don't get why you'd pass up a game like this for any reason that isn't directly tied to gameplay. While grunts and a few win quotes would be better than no voices, no voices is better than going extreme and having the characters speak the same long sentences all the time - just play Attack of the Toybots and you'll see what I mean. "I better get out of this factory soon - I think I left the oven on!" was funny the first few times, but after a while it becomes grating. Now imagine that with 3 Rockos on-screen and a SpongeBob shouting "It's karate time - or should I say Kah-Rah-Tae?"

Meme references like this are cool IMO - as long as they're relevant to the IP, don't get overused, and aren't used to justify a bad product I see it more as a celebration of fandom than "trying to be hip".

Mole Mania! Mole Mania! Mole Mania!

It makes me really happy to see how respectful Travis fans are of Suda's decision to end No More Heroes. Just goes to show that a little bit of dev-to-player transparency can go a long way.

If Nintendo could just openly say "we're not making any more F-Zero games" or "we're not making any more Kid Icarus games" instead of a cheeky "it's just sleeping" or "maybe in another 24 years!" a lot of people will be satisfied with that. Once Itoi said Mother 4 was impossible requests quickly died down, more game series should take the same approach rather than exploiting the hype culture to keep fans buying.

@nessisonett As someone who draws a lot of very unsavoury fanart, I can tell you for a fact people who have a problem with lewd or fetish fan art are just looking for someone socially acceptable to hate on. They don't care about "protecting the children" or "respecting the characters' creators" they just want a punching bag they won't be called out for creating long-term damage to.

@1ofUs Well, from a moral standpoint, yes. You should be allowed to make your Mario drug game as long as it doesn't actively promote and glorify hard drugs - and if it does, that's not Nintendo's problem but instead the problem of whatever site hosts the game.

One of these days somebody's gotta countersue Ninty. David has beaten Goliath before, we can do it again.

Thirty heavy balls? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Honestly this actually increases my hope in this movie - Teen Titans Go, regardless of its worthiness as a successor or overall story quality, is a funny show - funnier than Illumination's films at least.

@HotGoomba Have I got good news for you.

How can you do a "groovy game music" listicle and not include Plok?

Can't wait for those two new Nick Brawl characters! Just hoping they save Aang and Korra for later, they're the least interesting of the silhouette leaked characters to me.

I've never listened to a song for 10 hours, but I did manage 1 hour of the Wario World pause screen once - it was the SiIvaGunner version, but still.

Here's hoping Nick Brawl shows up too...

Super Mario Kart R lives!

I'm not feeling the photorealistic grass and water, and when you take them away all you're left with is the old polygonal N64 maps with new textures.

@RareFan It's probably not gonna happen, but I'd love the Bonanza Bros, Dynamite Headdy, or Ristar in here.

Live orchestra has that "boom" but in terms of actual sound I prefer something more synth-ey.

I consider Mania not "the first good Sonic game since 3K" but rather "the first Sonic game since 3K"

"A Sonic game", to me, is not the same as "a game about Sonic", whether it's the bad 3D games like 06 and Adventure, or the good 3D games like Colours or Lost World, none of them have the right physics for me to truly consider them Sonic games, just games about Sonic.

Sakurai worship is kinda disturbing. People call this man "daddy" for cryin' out loud!

This is not something to be celebrated. Preserving history is infinitely more important than either, legality or more bucks for a multi-billion dollar corporation - especially when that multi-billion dollar corporation is why people are resorting to this "crime" in the first place.

I played a bit of the English patch for this game and enjoyed it even as a non-RPG guy. In particular I loved how the Prince wasn't a silent protagonist and had thought bubbles.

Seriously, another established animated character's real voice(s in this case) getting snubbed for a celeb? At least Schwartz is known for main character VA roles in TV series like Turtles and DuckTales.

@link3710 I'm more thinking of the mods that put photorealistic water into Mario 64 and such.

@Oish @BrintaPap I'm talking about the upscaling, not BOTW itself. The "Still" is in relation to previous game upscales like Mario 64.

New Frogger game perhaps?

Still soulless, but at least they chose a game a hyperrealistic aesthetic would fit and not god damn Banjo-Kazooie or whatever.

I wouldn't call a game where a goose unties a boy's shoelaces, steals his glasses, and honks at him until he traps himself in a phone box "wholesome" per say, but it certainly also wouldn't be the most demented thing I've seen internet users call wholesome in earnest.

I'm willing to defend SwSh and even I think the budget of this Post Malone crap should go to the actual games.

@Daniel36 **** no. The last thing any industry needs is more crossovers to shill a product. I'd rather a self-contained Mario/Zelda/FlingSmash/whatever show than a horrific amalgimation of different worlds and tones that counteracts the very nature of cinema. It works for a plotless crossover game, it works for quirky fanfiction, it could even work for a plot-free show like a parodic sitcom - it does not work when telling a story. Look at how Subspace Emissary turned out, with characters acting either nothing like they do in their games (Wario), acting so accurate to their games they felt out of place due to how much more development they got (Lucas), or being portrayed in a way with nothing to do with their source material (ROB), all the while traversing the most bland locations ever put to code.

Those monkeys are evolving fast.

Don't forget Stanley

It's interesting that this enemy seems to be organic. I wonder if this is before they chose to put in environmentalist themes?

Hit & Run is currently owned by ActiBlizz, right? Controversies aside, Toys for Bob or Beenox would be absolutely perfect for "Hit & Rerun".

The idea of serious edgy Digimon with permadeath is still rip-roaringly hillarious to me.

EDIT: It's been 4 days and I'm still getting angry responses to this.

This game had one of the best Mario character rosters in recent memory, very close to Aces. A shame it has to go.

I'll miss that Toy Story gif everyone would post on the character reveals.

I already knew about this game's existence and name, but even then I was having an aneurysm trying to figure out whether it was the same game or a new sequel called "A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build, But You Can Try Anyway"

Please Stop With The All Caps, Or At Least Add Itallics To Game Titles

funny sour patch kid go brrr

English speaking territories win.

None of the cameos in this film are good.

Especially not that one.
