@N00BiSH : I kinda disagree, as making educational Youtube videos (in this case, the behind scenes within gaming development) generally involves hard work, but each to his own as people sometimes have different views and ways of taking breaks.
Meh, Shovel Knight is still great and all but I won't get Shovel of Hope DX since I had more then enough fill of SK1 and SK in general for now. And the newly announced (3D-hinted) Shovel Knight mainline title is atleast a few years wait before we get to see it in action. I'm more excited for Mina the Hollower.
When it comes to Archie, the only character I really would have liked to see in the games was Thunderbolt the Chinchilla. She was a hilarious evil villian imo.
As for the IDW characters, I don't have any particular faves but I wouldn't mind seeing Clutch the Opossum make a mainline game debut. He's more or less IDW Sonic's version of Marvel Comics' Kingpin and it would be interesting seeing a underworld criminal mastermind scheming plans and creating trouble for Sonic and co. whenever they are not dealing with Eggman.
Another anniversary that makes me feel old again...😅😭
On-topic, I'm no amiibo person (strongly dislike having content locked behind toys-to-life stuff too) but I do expect Nintendo to chug out a couple more figures for the near future.
Ideally I would SA1&2, Heroes, Unleashed, and the first two Riders titles (not necessarily in this order mind) among many others, but I'm not holding my breath.
Excluding Antonblast because I already been gunning for it for a long time now, only Nikoderiko has caught my interest. Platformer with DKC Returns and Crash Bandicoot-like gameplay, and David Wise as the composer? It has my attention.
@Yalloo: I agree the god-awful pop song is trash, but in fairness Wise himself didn't make it (its a 2019 song by John Coggins, Devin Moore and Steve Kofsky), and I doubt he had any say on it being used for the trailer. I would wait to assume the worst until we hear some actual in-game music.
Man the US boxart cover is bad, I get that this is all part of Sega's "Year of Shadow" marketing plans but I don't like how they just slapped him inbetween Classic and Modern Sonic like that (the fact that the Sonics' cover artwork are from the original Generations makes it look even more awkward).
I'm not the biggest fan of Homelander (or The Boys) but I was kinda expecting more unique abilities or attacks. Instead it almost feels like they just stitched together Injustice Superman into MK1.
Also, no offense to whoever is voicing Homelander here but its just not the same without Antony Starr.
Can't say I'm impressed since Shiver's works (their ports) are just bad, but Nintendo likely wants the company for their technical knowledge; in this case, porting 3rd-party games to the Switch (and Switch 2) if nothing else. Only time will tell if Shiver will get better or not on their job in the long run.
And while this isn't exactly a "loss" for Embracer, the less that awful company has the better imo.
I don't think Sakurai would do it but it would be funny and neat if he and Nintendo worked together to somehow show off some of his Nintendo-related collections for the company's upcoming museum.
Best highlight in the presentation, I'm intrigued.
I heard of this game before, and the Anton character starred in atleast 2 earlier games, of different generes, if I understand correctly.
Still hoping a console release of Pizza Tower will come soon enough, but I will gadly play Antonblast in the meantime.
Muramasa is 15 years old?! Holy beep, this is the game that introduced me to Vanillaware and their titles, I also have both the original version and the Rebirth version. Such good times…☺️
I'm used to Chris' Mario voice at this point, it still isn't really to my liking personally, but I suppose it could have been worse.
Jack, Charlie and Anya as Bowser, Luigi and Peach were the highlights imo. Keegan as Toad was kinda okay I guess. Seth as DK though, sigh. I know he said he would just use his own voice but still...😒
Anyway, happy 1st anniversary to the SMB movie!🎂🎉🎈🥳
....What kind of dumb "winning" list info is this?😒 I hate the way this is organized, you almost wouldn't think this is the result of a survey if people didn't know about it beforehand.
@LadyCharlie : I feel the same.😭
I guess Darkstalkers' name just showing up here, even if it is in somewhat "smaller" then the most picked choices, is better then not showing up at all but yeah, its not the same.😞
I'm not a fan of this "issue" but I can't say I'm not used to it. Most VG companies (especially high-profile ones like Nintendo) have been doing this for decades now.
As much as I would welcome a Heroes remake, I rather keep my expectations as low as possible until (or if) something official actually comes out of this rumor.
Right, if I wasn't already disinterested before I sure am now. Fall Guys for me has always been one of those games that are only fun for a couple of minutes, or hours at best, before you realize there is nothing else left to do once you tried the game's main draw. A Fall Guys-like Sonic game won't help on that.
Regardless of their placements in this list I'm somewhat fond of Pokemon Masters, Detective Pikachu (haven't tried the sequel yet), Pokken, and especially Pokemon Stadium as that game was one of my first N64 games, good times there.
Good to see most of the Mystery Dungeon titles as well as Conquest rank so highly.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Has Finished Recording His Final YouTube Video
Personally I would have liked Sakurai to take a rest after being done with his videos, oh well.
As for the new game project he mentioned before, obviously either Smash 6 or a KI Uprising remaster.

I'm more excited for Mina the Hollower.

I'm looking forward to it but it will be years from now until we see it in action.
I’m more excited for Mina the Hollower at the moment.

The JP cover, while looking more like something that should be used for a future SA2 remaster/remake, is way better in comparision.

Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Leaks Have Apparently Surfaced Online
Having a "Sonic Adventure" skin is pretty neat, even if the model itself doesn’t really look that much like the Dreamcast model imo.
