The bad news is, I really am not feeling this art style at all. The characters, specifically. The good news: I’ve wanted a new Monkey Island for so long that I’m way more than willing to dive into an art style I dislike, just for everything else. I’m in! And who knows? Maybe it’ll grow on me.
@Tobiaku Right, yeah! I Get it. 😄 It’s difficult for me to put it in words, but the reason I think this movie isn’t comparable with Roger Rabbit is that, in my opinion, Roger Rabbit followed its rules a lot better than this movie follows its own.
There were certain non-Disney cameos that really took me aback, although I was spoiled about Ugly Sonic quite a while ago.
From my perspective, this movie absolutely does not belong in the same breath as Roger Rabbit. I don’t think this movie is anywhere near as good, but, hey, I smiled a few times!
Thanks! Oh, I'm all over this! This reminds me of how I'd imagine Donkey Kong Country music, back in the 90s, performed in my head, while I took a test or did homework. I imagined renditions that didn't exist, yet this really, really comes close!
I obsessively listened to Donkey Kong Country and "The Mask" soundtracks close together, you see.
Make an entire epic saga based solely on the motion-cow milking minigame. Whether it'd be an udder failure or an udder success, it's best to just moo-ve along.
I don't have the st'ability to make stability jokes, so I'll go to bed and stabilize my mind. A good rest, yes. Rested mind, rested ability to update my Switch for stability. A simple life, yes.
Congratulations! Meta Knight might have had his revenge, but I can't imagine anyone plotting revenge about this win! ... I just jinxed it, I bet. Bravo, y'all!
I was utterly obsessed with "The Mask" when it first came out. I even went as Stanley Ipkiss in Mask form for a Halloween. Then my parents, knowing how much I loved that lighthearted comedy, gifted me the original "The Mask" comics. ... Ssssssmokingly huge differences between the original source and that movie, I'll just say.
I haven't seen eye to eye with Jim regarding many things, but I am thankful for some classics (to me). All-righty then.
@HammerGalladeBro Same! A friend and I played the whole game in a local arcade, back in my high school days.
I always appreciate atypical playable characters that look bizarre. Heh. I've never heard of this game before, nor am I familiar with the animated film. I'm now curious about both! I'll toss 'em to my Current Curiosities wheelbarrow.
I got a Luigi's Mansion 3 poster (framed) on my wall, and I loved Punch-Out!! Wii... to the point of declaring myself in punch-drunk with it! Rock on, sir!
The biggest reason I want a new, upgraded Switch model is to add new stickers to it! I got some nifty ones in a drawer that’s been waitin’ for it! I want to decal a Pro like the travel stickers in Super Mario Odyssey. Yesiree.
A Fragmentary Passage is sentimental to me, because it was the game I played and 100%’d, when I took breaks from writing my final essay for a university.
Even if I was into cloud gaming (I live in a rural place that simply can’t keep up with that kind of demand), I already have the series elsewhere.
I’ve yet to see any of the games’ main characters dance to “Step in Time” with tight choreography, so for now, no, I don’t have a problem with the ‘Britishness’ of the voice acting. A ‘British’ cast is run with precision, and Xenoblade requires nothing less!
HD ports, enhanced or not, of two games from the defunct Cing: Hotel Dusk: Room 215 + Last Window: The Secret of Cape West. Gimme some Kyle Hyde adventures... please.
Finally! I needed the "Wii Shop" tune in my real life. I've restocked bubblegum so many times to dead silence, but now I have this immortal melody to comfort me as I impulsively buy more gum. I'm not sarcastic, either--I installed this and tested it out, haha! Sweet!
I know what character the Rock will portray, in this upcoming mystery video game movie. Okay, take a look at my avatar. Now imagine him dressed like it, with a blue wig and all. Oh, yeah. The Rock as Luna in... Lunar: Silver Star Story. Yep. Make this cursed fantasy I just came up with come true!
Actually, when I heard of John’s passing, the first thing I thought of was his cameo in “Little Giants” (1994). I always wanted John Madden to suddenly step off a bus and ask me for directions. I played many a Madden game in the 90s, and he also reminds me of happier times in college.
I sure hope Carey Mahoney from Police Academy ends up in this game, someday! He's the only other person, besides Shaggy, who I think could canonically mop the floor with Superman. Jokes aside, the trailer doesn't really grab me, but I'm not writing it off just yet.
My friends and I actually did play Clock Tower on Halloween, and I briefly explained Shattered Memories when a friend actually said the words "shattered memories" in a talk, not referencing Silent Hill at all.
One of my fondest memories of playing the original PC Vice City, waaaayyyyy back, was including "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" as one of the custom tunes. Yeah, sophisticated humor--me bobbing my head merrily to Dick Van Dyke while driving around to do... well, GTA things!
I've waited a long while to revisit these three games, so we'll see.
I uttered out loud, “Good Lord, that’s a lot of money!” Because I’m a late 80s/early 90s kid who makes timely references!
Well, I run my family group, and we’re all going to discuss this in the next few days, if not tonight. None of us are happy with the spike, and we all wish that Animal Crossing DLC wasn’t included (despite all of us being fans), but we still care about other some details. To be continued…
As a "retired" high school drama student/community theater guy, this reminds me why I love stage musicals so much. Yes, I would be very interested in some Toad and Yoshi emotional and romantic development! The world needs more of that.
Ever since I first played this game, the "inside the caves" music has been my morning alarm tone, generally. I didn't see this coming, but I'll definitely pick up this on Switch!
I'm really, really curious about the pricing. As excited as I am about some of these announced titles, I'm gonna wait for that "new information to come!" to stroll by!
@Ralizah I agree! I glanced at the reveal and was like, "Oh, cool, both games bundled together in one Switch package!" Realizing it was just the second game kinda took the wind out of my sails. And I doubly agree on how this should've been a proper next entry.
The total lack of voices/grunts/vocalizations of any kind really is unfortunate, IMO. I know I mentioned that before, but, gosh, I'm sayin' it again! Still, I'm curious and am hoping this'll turn out to be a really solid game. Is it obviously lower-budgeted? Yeah. Is it looking rough and imperfect now? Sure. But my inner 80s/90s child is rooting for this.
No matter what version I listen to or try to think about, I tend to think about Super Mario Bros. 3's World Map 3 when mentally listening to Fairy Fountain, often as a mashup. And that's just fine with me! I love 'em all.
@Noid Haha, I know it’s a very minor reason to be displeased. But, really, having some vocalizations go a long way for me, even if they’re just grunts.
@Ragdoll72 Richard Horvitz, the voice actor of Zim, said he and other VAs were not called in to record any lines for this game. If this game has no voice acting whatsoever, then my curiosity has plummeted severely.
