In the words of Mario: So long'eh Bowser!
I know most people have heard that sound differently (if you know then you know) but thats how it always sounded to me.

Now I have a good excuse to visit London again after so many years.

One of my best girls (and moms) is back!❤️‍🔥

It still baffles me how he somehow never knew about Live & Learn's regular use for the past 20+ years until a fan told him.

Either way this surely marks the end of Gioeli's partnership with Sega, not that it makes much of a difference since Crush 40 isn't used much at all these days. The last Sonic game they did a song for was Team Sonic Racing if I'm not mistaken and that was in 2019.

Happy 40th birthday Ghosts 'n Goblins.🎂

Happy 10th anniversary Undertale.🎂 Not one of my biggest favorites but I'm fond of it.
It does have a memorable killer soundtrack, can't argue with that.

Happy 40th anniversary Super Mario Bros.!🎉🎂 And a happy tribute to all kinds of jumping in gaming!💨👞

Rosalina's storytelling about her past is one of my favorite things of the character (and SMG1), so I love this idea. Unfortunately, that price is keeping me away from buying the book, and the fact that it won't include the new content is nuts.

Its good to see SMG2 re-released on modern hardware. Overall, re-releases of the Galaxy games is not for me, already own the originals, but good to see them nonetheless.

Now, seeing movie Rosalina in the SMB movie sequel? I'm ready!

For me the direct was somewhere between "average-ish" and "okay-ish". I give it a strong 6.

As nice as it is to see DK Island again I don't feel much motivation to get this DLC, at least not right now.

Movie Rosalina? Take my money now!❤️‍🔥

Did not expect VB games to the NSO, thats cool.
The fact that you need an accessory to play them though, not so much.

I'm so waka-waka ready to go.👍

Makes sense why they changed it to "Nintendo Stars" but I agree, I will miss the "Warpstar Inc." name.

Also, Star Fox movie or TV series please.

Very good interview, even more interested in the game now.

And a little off-topic but I’m glad a few here remembers The Fox and The Hound. I loved watching it as a kid, one of my favorite Disney classics really.

Never was the biggest He-Man/MOTU fan growing up but this looks cool, I give it a try.

"as Pac-Man hasn't appeared previously in the series"

If you mean the Sonic series in general, Pac-Man did appear before in the mobile game Sonic Dash.

Meh, the gameplay could turn out, at the very least, decent enough.
I do like, however, how the series can still poke fun at itself.

Color me excited, November can't come soon enough.

I don't feel like this shatters Kirby lore or whatever, feels more of a gameplay decision obviously then anything else but hey, thats just me.

And you can't tell me you wouldn't love seeing Meta Knight yelling with a microphone? lol

This would have excited me as a kid…
Ahhh, the heck with it, it excites me already now.😆

Before this news I haven't heard anything about Ninjala for a long time so I just assumed the support was already over.
I'm impressed the game has gone on for this long, gotta respect that.

In another timeline, Mania fans have a good time playing this follow-up.

Happy 25th anniversary!🎂❤️
I'm fine with the game just being on NSO but I can understand why most would want a remake.

Mario himself is fine and all but tbh I feel like it would have been much better if they just used Baby Mario instead (and the rest of the Star Children and other baby characters while they're at it).

Still don't like Fortnite but this was a well done trailer.

Happy 30th anniversary SMW2: Yoshi's Island.🎂

Good thing I don't need to double dip then. The third game is the only one in the trilogy I haven't played yet so I will get that separately.

So glad momma Viper is back.🥰

Thanks for the review.😊 This, Ninja Gaiden 4 and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance are three awesome ninja games I can't miss out this year.

I didn't watch the Direct live but going by what I seen in news articles covering the presentation, this is the only highlight for me.

I always knew about Silver Surfer but I had to look up Beta Ray Bill. But you know what? I take it, its good that Dotemu won't just focus on the "usual" picks within the Marvel roster.

@shonenjump86 : Respect.

^Same. I respect the work they have put into it, but there's no way I can catch up and keep track of it all. I usually make do watching most of the plot on Youtube.

Thanks for the review. I will try Shadow Labyrinth at a later point, my backlog of games is too full right now.

While a "darker" take is obviously not my personal cup of tea when it comes to classic, family-friendly IPs like Pac-Man, I can appreciate Bamco trying to do something new here. And atleast Shadow Labyrinth hasn't (to my knowledge) been explicitly confirmed to be directly canon to the "main" Pac-Man settning. Its just canon to Bamco's shared sci-fi universe (the game is also the only Pac-Man title included in there from what I seen).

Yeah, never heard of them but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’m glad that it’s, at least to me, two relative newcomers that are getting a shot. Time will tell how they do but I wish them both well.

Right now I'm more curious on who they will get/have gotten to play Ganondorf.

My thoughts are the same as Erigen and Max_the_German. I assumed the same but funny how this is what actually inspired Bananza's main draw.

Now I suddenly want a Goomba game.😄

Really nice tribute by Sakurai, and I look forward to see how Air Riders will turn out. I for one hope there are more non-Kirbys playable characters.

Nice. I played the first two, never played the third. About time I fixed that.

Poor man,😞 may he rest in peace.❤️🙏

Ten years passed just like that but I still remember my feelings of shock and sadness after hearing about Iwata's passing like it was yesterday.
The man was a true visionary and a truly good person. May he forever rest in peace.❤️

One of those interesting N64 games I saw as a kid but never got the chance to try out. If the remaster happens then I give it a shot.

Also, maybe its because of the color scheme and the fact that this is a mechanical bee, but I first thought this was about Pinobee (anyone else remember Pinobee? Please I don't want to feel old again😭) when I laid my eyes on the protagonist here.

@Bobb : Thanks!👍😄

The battery remaining being 64% is a nice reference to the Nintendo 64.

Fake shocked face😱….😒…leaving…

Ideally Sonic Team would just let another more capable gaming dev (whether it is one of Sega's subsidiaries or an external company) remake SA1 & 2 while they're in a supervising role themselves, but sadly Sonic Team (especially Iizuka) has too much pride to let anyone else touch the Adventure games.

My top favorite of the 3 Strikers games.

Not what I expected (where's my Hotel Dusk collection…😢) but I take it.

Maybe its the bandages(?) but Aki's summer costume made me think of Mileena's "near nude" costume from MK 2011.😅

Nintendo knows what they're doing, messing with the head of all the fans who do care about whatever microscopic grain of canon there is in Mario, lol.😝

In any case, I never would have guessed Pauline is a teenager here. I figured she was 6 or 8 at best. I still think some age-reversal incident is the cause of her new age in this game.
