My question is how SEGA kept using the song in so many games if they never owned it? Don't they have lawyers to clarify that kind of stuff?
And if it made it to Smash Bros, wouldn't that imply SEGA had some level of autority to lend the song? or are we suppose to believe that EVERYBODY assumed the song was owned by SEGA, including SEGA and Nintendo's lawyers?
I don't hate the idea, but there are still so many characters they could have added; Luigi's Mansion characters, Wario Land/Warioware, more DK characters, Yoshi characters, etc.
I hope they put every tracks from every past game and for the new tracks I hope they can come up with gimmicks to make the tracks unique and fun and I hope we have a difficult tracks too
I'd say KH IV needs to end the series and Nomura can get a well deserved retirement. It's an amazing series and we're all grateful for his work, but after BBS the story got too convoluted, so it needs to end. For his own sake and our sanity XD
Someone else should take the helm of the series and reboot it
"FAMILY GAMING: Nikoderiko is for all ages, and offers a magical, mysterious, and festive experience."
That part is a bit worrisome. Part of the fun of the DKC and Crash games is the challenge. They're not super hard, but I hope this game is not too easy
I'd buy more games, but games are getting too expensive. We can't buy them all, so it would help if those remasters we've played before were a bit cheaper.
Technically Totk is the better game, but exploring the same map really killed the game. It's boring to just revisit the same map. The fun of an open world is the unknown. I had a lot more for playing Botw
FF7 Rebirth could have sold much more if it wasn't PS5 exclusive. An Xbox and PC release would have helped, but I'm sure Square got a lot of money for the exclusivity.
I'm sure that didn't help, but that's not really the problem. The issue is that the game doesn't have enough value for the price.
When you buy a Mario game, they may not be the longest games, but they have a lot more levels, a lot more ideas crammed in and they have a lot more replay value thanks to the collectable and extra objectives. Mario games are a worthy investment, but a lot of times, Sonic games fly by so fast 60$ is just too much
@PoeTheLizard People have been cancelled in recent years for jokes they've made 15 years ago that somehow have been dug up. That excuse might not be able to save them XD.
@john_with_a_j I'd say the magypsies must be one of the main reasons. Unclear genders/trans stuff is a very divisive subject in the west right now. People are getting censored left and right for voicing their opinions. Trans activists are very aggressive if they consider that the trans community is being attacked or mischaracterized.
Magypsies have a big role in Mother 3, so if for some reason they'd be considered offensive to trans activists, Nintendo could face some serious backlash, so it's very understandable that they'd be hesitant to release Mother 3.
Considering how sensitive and how easily a lot of people are offended in the west, it's very understandable why Nintendo would be hesitant to translate Mother 3 and if they censor the game, they'll ruin the original intended experience.
You can't charge full price for a platformer that can be beaten in a day. I really want to get Superstar, but SEGA either has to add more levels to make the game last longer or reduce the price.
I know making games are expensive, but if making them 2D can reduce cost then make them 2D. We don't care.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Difficulty Settings Revealed By Nintendo
@OrtadragoonX I don't have time to replay games like that. I'd rather start with the hard challenge from the start and master the game as I go on.
Imagine being forced to play Dark Souls on easy mode first just to "understand" the game. That's be stupid
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Difficulty Settings Revealed By Nintendo
Why would they lock hard mode behind normal mode. It's so dumb
Re: "Consumers Generally Do Not Care" About AI In Games, Says Former Square Enix Exec
Whether it's made through AI or humans, as long as the games are good that's all that matters
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds New Free Characters Update, Coming Soon
I don't know who this Tangle is, but it's always cool to see obsure Sonic character back. Put Mephiles, Infinite, Sally, Ray, Mighty, Grounder
Re: Can You Name These NES Games From The Mangled Box Art?
17/21. I did better than I expected considering I didn't really grew up with the NES
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
I already own both games on Wii. I don't see the point to buy them again
Re: Sonic Adventure 2 'Live And Learn' Lawsuit Dismissed, Crush 40 Musician Issues Statement
@Krisi Oh, so the guy's basically an idiot and has no ownership over the song at all.

A weird situation indeed.

Could you imagine if all 3rd party characters were silent in Smash bros XD
Re: Atari Announces Bubsy 4D From 'Demon Turf' Developer Fabraz
....Surprisingly...it looks decent so far. If the game controls well and offers a decent challenge it might be good
Re: Tales Of Xillia Remastered Coming This October, Confirmed 30fps For Switch
Weird that they wouldn't have it bundled with the second game. They did for Tales of Symphonia back on the PS3
Re: Best Virtual Boy Games
You know a console is a complete failure when a pinball game is in the top 3
Re: Look, Maybe We Should Stop Asking For A Sonic Adventure Remaster
I'd rather they do something new. A remake of Sonic Adventure seems like a waste of time.
We don't need remakes for everything
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Officially Reveals Nickelodeon Collaboration
Will the Sponge Bob characters have voices in the game? I certainly hope so
Re: "This Is It!" - Nintendo On Why It Added 'Cow' Into Mario Kart World
I don't hate the idea, but there are still so many characters they could have added; Luigi's Mansion characters, Wario Land/Warioware, more DK characters, Yoshi characters, etc.

Re: Sonic 3 Director Teases Another Character Reveal At The End Of The Movie
Metal Sonic or Silver I presume. That'd be cool
Re: Opinion: No, Zelda: The Minish Cap's Worst Sidequest Isn't The Kinstones
If someone says the figurine sidequest is not the worst in the game I know he never tried to complete it
Re: Random: Takaya Imamura Ponders The Possibility Of Star Fox Zero On 'Switch 2'
Star Fox 1, 2 and 64 are on NSO. Don't bother with Zero.
Make a new original game instead.
I guess to preserve it's history it'd be good to have Zero on current gen, but Assault and Adventure should be ported first. They're much better games
Re: Some Fans Aren't Happy About Sonic X Shadow Generations' Changes To The Original
It's really sad. So many of those changes make no sense
Re: Poll: Sonic X Shadow Generations Is Out This Week, Will You Be Getting It?
@Sonicka Yeah, but it's still not enough for me to get it
Re: Poll: Sonic X Shadow Generations Is Out This Week, Will You Be Getting It?
Looks pretty good, but I already own Sonic Generations and the Shadow episode is not enough of a selling point to justify getting the game again
Re: Ubisoft's Disastrous 2024 May Lead To The Company Going Private
Well, is it a coincidence that they're doing poorly and they're not making any Rayman games? XD
Re: Tetsuya Nomura Contemplates Retirement And Concluding Kingdom Hearts
I'd say KH IV needs to end the series and Nomura can get a well deserved retirement. It's an amazing series and we're all grateful for his work, but after BBS the story got too convoluted, so it needs to end. For his own sake and our sanity XD
Someone else should take the helm of the series and reboot it

Re: Sonic Mania Team Celebrates 7th Anniversary With Trivia, Art And Unreleased Tracks
@N0SEGaming Semantics. You know what I meant XD
Re: Sonic Mania Team Celebrates 7th Anniversary With Trivia, Art And Unreleased Tracks
@N0SEGaming SEGA and Arzest were mostly in charge of those. I don't think the Mania team were fully involded and had total control on those.
Re: Sonic Mania Team Celebrates 7th Anniversary With Trivia, Art And Unreleased Tracks
7 years already? Hopefully these guys get involve with Sonic again at some point
Re: Surprise! DOOM + DOOM II Get Newly Enhanced Release On Switch eShop
I'd like to see those Doom mods with custom weapons, textures and custom enemies. It would help for more variety, but this is an awesome update
Re: F-Zero Inspired Racer 'Aero GPX' Launches In Early Access Today

Re: Poll: Is $60 Too Much For Nintendo's Switch Re-Releases?
I'd buy more games, but games are getting too expensive. We can't buy them all, so it would help if those remasters we've played before were a bit cheaper.
Their loss I guess
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Two More Titles
OMG Iggy's Reckin' ball. I played that game a lot as a kid. I never thought Nintendo would ever acknowledge it.
If you've never played it, grab some friends and check it out. It's great
Re: Crash Bandicoot 4 Sales Reportedly Surpass Five Million
Crash 4 was incredible. Every platformer fan should play it for sure
Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?
