@nintendobynature I feel ya.

I suppose if there's any part of the Nintendo fan base that loves Assassin's Creed, they better buy a copy of this remaster to show Ubisoft there's a demand for these games.

This was foreseen by the indie platform fighter, Indie Pogo.

The tagline for this article makes me think the writer has watched Futurama quite a bit.

@Onion I agree. I'm not really a fan of minigame marathons anyway. I would rather have one game with variables and layers rather than a bunch of flash style games.

Wario Land: Shake It apparently didn't sell well despite it being one of the best games in the series with its 2D hand drawn animation and gameplay, which is a real shame and this has put the series on hold.

@Elvie I have actually thought about modding but I'm not sure I far I can into it. @Quarth I share that opinion. It gives me an Indiana Jones vibe. By far one of the best GB cover art.

@Elvie Oh, don't even get me started on Wario's Smash Bros. representation. Sakurai made so many ingenious choices in the series but his direction for Wario is the only thing that I can't stand to the point where I can list everything I dislike for the fighter.

1: Having Wario in his biker outfit. It's minor yes, but it is another snowflake that adds to the over-represenation of WarioWare problem. Plus, how many recognize that outfit more than his standard one?

2: The removal of his Shoulder Bash in Smash 4. It has been restored in Ultimate but why would you ever remove his signature move in the first place when it was one of the few elements calling back to the Wario Land games?

3: His recovery. It isn't based on anything from his games and range is short which means you can only be saved sometimes by the next move I'll mention here.

4: The Down Special. I get he is a bit fond of gross humor but what sense does it make to have an attack around something like that? With all the abilities he has like throwing coins, becoming a vampire, and "Shake attacks", Sakurai gives him something based upon personality trait rather than a move. That would be like if Mario's grab were to use spaghetti noodles that function like Link's hookshot and the reasoning would be, "Well, Mario likes eating spaghetti".

Okay, rant over but I just hope whatever Smash Bros. game comes next will look back to the Wario Land games but I feel like that would only happen if the series made a comeback from its hiatus where it would relevant to do so.

Ah, these were the good times for Mario and Wario. Where 2D Mario platformers were trying something new and Wario was seen as a likable villain/hero who boasted strength and wealth.

In 2019, all we got now for those two is the rehash asset fest that is the "New" Super Mario Bros. series and a character that is now being seen more as a punchline for gross-out humor.

@Painay Sega did make a Sonic racing game in that style before but...it was Sonic R.

I'm not sure if I would get this since buying it would support the company using the Atari brand. The same Atari that is working on that very questionable Atari VCS.

@LetsGoSwitch Atlus. Also, one of the Ataris weren't spaced.

There is a solution for this trend of decline somewhere other than transitioning into the internet but it probably won't be utilized by the time these magazines end.

I had interpreted it for a while that the cross symbolized the crossover aspect of Smash but the four player aspect was not something I picked up at all.

Does anyone think it would be strange if Crash Team Racing will be the one with performance issues.

Well, what would you expect if two of the best games released in the past 5 years were exclusive to a console?

If you look on the bright side, these developers unintentionally gave it a retro vibe.

Some criminals surrender to the police but everyone surrenders to Smash!

One of the last MK games I played was Deadly Alliance on Gamecube and it kind of soured my attitude towards the series. There was no Liu Kang, the content was somewhat lacking, and I wasn't really fond of most of the new characters.

But I might dip back in it if it does come to Switch.

As much as I love Shovel Knight, I can't help but feel this is the peak of his game cameos.

Sounds nice. Maybe they'll announce the Mario & Rayman crossover title that people been rumoring about at these events.

This game turned out better than I thought considering its origins from a shady fundraiser.

"A whole new speed of Hero". I interpret this to mean that either the producers were taking Speed or that we going have to take it just to get through this film.

Continuing on, how can a company like Nintendo that holds so much innovation in the video game field be so backwards on some of the most basic aspects of social interaction.

Well, I guess they realized that more people would actually create Nintendo videos if they abandon the program after 3 years.

If Metroid: Other M is coming to smartphones then I want DKC 3, Link's Crossbow Training, Star Fox Zero, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and any other average/disappointing Nintendo games.

A ninja fighting an octopus. I'm sold!

@Pirlo_ze_sniper There are two characters in the series that are known as Snake.

I personally found this kind of boring. Maybe it hasn't clicked for me yet. One thing is for sure, the story is awful.

Pricey? Yes, but at least that money is going to a studio that makes quality games unlike any of the shovel ware developers on the Wii U.

THQ Nordic has been buying out a lot properties and developers that appeals to niche audiences and cult followings...kinda like the old THQ. Let's hope it ends well.

If the reviews are positive for this game, I expect someone to use "Jammin' " in their tagline (or possibly "Groovin' ").

I feel Nintendo looks back to the past more often than Sony does and maybe that's why the NES and SNES are arguably better.

It's something to look forward to...in a way that I'll barely notice.

One of those fighters should be Master Hand so that it will really be a "Everyone Is Here" Smash Bros..

It's not as epic but at least there's a little bit of story with each Spirit/Puppet battle.

Crash Bandicoot sold well enough so Activision has to know there's demand for it.

As long as I don't I have to maintain a constant Internet connection, I'll be down for that.

We shouldn't too surprised that Mario is physically abusive. Doesn't anyone remember why Donkey Kong try to kill him in the first place?

I live for games like R-Type. Something about destroying everything that moves in sight makes me relaxed enough to tolerate my job.

I feel like a lot of these Pokemon Spirits come from Lavender Town.

Wii trademarks for smartphones? I'm now hoping for Super Mario Samsung Galaxy.

I have had an Gradius itch recently. With Konami not stepping up, I think I'll dip into this.
