I never had a chance to play these games when they were first released but I really loved the first remake! So glad progress is still being made on this one!!

@TKundNobody Einhander comes to mind!!

Disclaimer: I have never played Bubsy 3D.

Opinion: I love the Bubsy franchise! Bubsy 1 and 2 are objectively bad but subjectively awesome. Whoolies Strike Back and Paws on Fire were both super fun!!

I went all out and ordered the Im-Paws-ible collection for this release ^_^ I'm fine being part of the problem in this case

A crappy game that runs well. Welp, I guess it runs well.

My wife and I really loved the Puzzle Quest games we played. This should be fun!!

Looks fairly super rad!!

I kinda feel bad for this game because the effort and quality look really high, but the character designs they went with are gonna torpedo all the interest. Including that jacked .... personal trainer?? at the end.

Disney-esque?? Did the race/gender swap someone??

jk!!

In all seriousness, this looks incredible. I love the hand-drawn style in video games and most of this looks buttery smooth. It looks like a level of scary that I could deal with, so that's a big plus. And a lot of the horror elements look very creative and not simply there for shock value. I think I'm gonna pick it up!

That was pretty fun!! I'm excited!!

I love Bubsy. I can't wait for this!!!!

I don't even know what to say. Just..... stick it in my veins. This is a childhood dream come true.

TMNT... He-Man... now we just need ThunderCats.

taaayyyyy????

^constructive comment

I actually wish it was just MK1 and MK2 lol

Sakurai doesn't do anything that isn't cranked to 11, does he? What a legend.

This is going to be the first racing game with 500-hours of unique content LOL

I know I'm kind of in the minority about this, but I care so much about game narratives that this kind of thing actually waters that down for me. I can be a little flexible, but stuff like this totally breaks the universe for me. I'm sure it will all be considered separate and non-canon, but I wish they wouldn't do it at all.

Just my 2 cents and I'm happy for those who are into it.

wow, I'd never seen the JP/EU versions before. That NA one looks absolutely terrible by comparison. Both JP and EU have that wonderful booba, so it's a tough choice. But I think the JP one lays out just a bit better with that portrait-style art. Well done, JP/EU!

It will be mine (physically). Oh yes, it will be mine!!

YESSSS!!!! I unironically love Bubsy games (except B3D) even though I know many aspects are objectively bad. They bring me joy!! Let's goooo!!!

Sue them, Palworld!! You know you want to!

@commentlife Yes, but it's an opinion about the game creators' intentions. It's not "I think Samus ..." it's "I think the game thinks Samus..." And I think that's too much of a reach. Just my.... opinion. ^_^

@riggs I never said I wasn't a double major

I really enjoy the reflection on such an amazing game. But the title and supposed thesis of this article is a reach that even Mr Fantastic couldn't snag. I would bet anything it was a technical decision more than a narrative one. If you want to write this article with this premise, maybe, I don't know, wait until you have an interview with the people who made the game and ask them? Instead you're just putting a fan theory, mixed with a very personal feeling, out into the ether as if it is something more. That part of the article says more about the author than the subject. And that's not what the title implies.

Sorry, I was a journalism major, this kind of thing bugs me. Still love the rest of the article that is reflecting on that wonderful game without the click-baity title.

@Gamer_Griff THANKS!!

Physical release and I will buy it!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Silver Surfer is one of my favorite Marvel heroes!! I can't wait!!!!

I honestly have no idea why Nintendo would feel the need to avoid acknowledging romance between these characters. I mean sure, don't show/imply anything steamy, but romantic love is not something to be repulsed by. If families watching Disney movies in the 1930s and 40s could handle it, I think the modern human can too.

Put it on a disc/cartridge and I will buy the hell out of it!!!!!

I'm so confused....

This looks to be based on the reboot, which was great, but quickly cancelled.... a long time ago. .... So why this game now?

Also, toilet humor was never a part of Danger Mouse so like...... what??

I can't wait!!!!!!! Greatest trilogy of all time! (I mean, I just assume)

erm, I thought the N.Sane Trilogy was a gee-darn masterpiece. It's Crash 4 that needed another year or two in the oven. (and not try to erase og Tawna).

Is there an option for "ayyy, I got ya feedback right 'ere, pal!!"

#PhysicalMedia4Life

I am not listening to 90 minutes of Seth Rogan's weed-destroyed vocal chords.

I absolutely ADORE this series!! I hope we get lots more!! (as long as the quality stays good obviously)

I wonder how many times I'll buy these games without actually playing them. hmm..... only time will tell!

@nessisonett Completely agree. Obviously in this translation "product" does not carry the same connotation. I think what they mean is that Miyamoto wants game devs to please the audience more than themselves. Not that games should be soulless cash-grabs, as the phrase "as a product" implies here ^_^

Looks pretty good. I'll keep an eye on it. I love the idea and the character design. The intentional PS1-era graphics is ... a choice. But I get it.

Easy win for NA/EU this time.

welp, I'm gonna buy the heck out of this.

Very close call, but I'd have to go with NA on this one!

I'm seriously gonna cry. The Hotel Dusk and Another Code games are some of my all-time favorite!!!! Physical release please!!

Yes! I love it!! And announcing Physical from the start!!! LFG!!!!!!!

That's really terrible. I will never support companies that show so little care for the quality of their products.

Also, can we stop trying to make Bluesky happen? It's just trading one biased cesspool for a less-popular biased cesspool. When a truly inclusive and moderate competitor to TwiXter emerges, we can all flock there, but forcing Bluesky when so few of us can properly access the site seems kind of obstinate.

Do people really confuse manifesting glitches with games being broken??

If you watch the video it's quite tame.

Gross? Yes. Inappropriate? Yes. Stupid? Yes. Juvenile? Yes.

Tame? Also yes. The girl on the right clearly thought it was hilarious.

Still, losing the sponsorship is probably the right course of action. Especially if he has a history of problems with alcohol, maybe he needs a wake up call before it's too late.

I think 2nd place is my best so far.

quality > quantity.
human creativity > generative AI.

in the battle for the future of gaming, the people that know how to make games will win.

I only buy physical. In fact, I consider "digital purchase" kind of an oxymoron. If many of you are happy paying full or near-full prices for game license rentals, that's totally fine. But let the rest of us voice what we want too.

I'm definitely interested!!

The bigger story is that Square-Enix considers Kotaku a reputable news outlet to speak with -_-

NA this time. God I loved JSR.

I am LOVING MK World! The only thing I don't like is blending the tracks together within a cup. It's kind of clever, but it makes the tracks feel less distinct.

Possible hot take: assuming they will do DLC for the game, I hope they never include mirror mode nor 200CC. I never like either of those. I also hope we never get more than double the current courses. My only issue with MK8D was there were SO many courses I couldn't get good at them all without quitting my job. It was too much. I like the manageable 8 cups and I hope we never get more than 16.
