Considering how terrible MoA’s Mega Man show is, I don’t have high hopes for this. A Sonic Boom season 3 would’ve been good though, that show was golden.
@AbejaGrande Literally everyone knows this, it’s not a “horrifying secret” in the slightest, it’s just that others have learned how to separate art from artist.
@Cevil Imagine thinking that companies are trying to pander to the “easily offended” despite you yourself being offended by the existence of other cultures.
Should note that Playtonic are in the UK, where “Merry Christmas” was never appropriated into a backhanded malicious phrase.
The horrible saliva, the not-so-passive-but-very-aggressive slogan, the ugly gradient, the blocky font, the pun - the US cover is all the worst things about 90s gaming and advertising, and I love it.
Edit: just found out there isn't a character in this game who's actually called Tuff E. Nuff. I feel betrayed.
An important piece of context missing here: Some (not all) Geno fans got SUPER cocky about Geno getting in Smash and thought he was guaranteed due to many leaks (both fake and vague) and fan theories.
@HeadPirate Beat 'em ups are side scrolling games where you fight enemies instead of jump (examples: Final Fight, Simpsons Arcade, Golden Axe, Turtles in Time), Brawler is another word for a beat 'em up. Smash is a platform fighter, a spin on the fighting game genre - which DOESN'T side-scroll and has HUMAN-controlled enemies
I can't believe people are defending Nintendo over this.
We live in a world with Sonic Mania and Black Mesa. There is NO EXCUSE for Nintendo to not collaborate with fans, or at the very least leave them to their own devices. Working with fans has been a thing since Ms. Pac-Man in the 80s, why is it so hard now?
Truth be told I don't see why they can't port the DS games directly to Switch and just either make them handheld exclusive, or add more R button templates.
It's surprising how little good W&G games there are, with all its tense-yet-ridiculous chase scenes and elaborate Rube Goldberg devices it'd be perfect for a proper 3D collectathon.
Why is it called "Super Nintendo World" if it's nothing but Mario? it's like if Disneyland was themed entirely around the sensational six or they opened a theme park called "Warner Brothers World" and it was nothing but Looney Tunes. I know this isn't a new take but I still have yet to see answers, can't be a marketing thing given more people likely know the name "Mario" than "Nintendo".
