Mah boi! Choosing the bottom tier and rooting for the underdog is what all true warrior strive for! But I also admire TP’s Link transforming into a wolf. I went to a school whose mascot was a Wolf, so that was a fun inside joke between some students and myself.
I read about half these comments then gave up and scrolled to here, haha! Guess that says something about me. Well, personally, I think the original staff should still he credited, but a generalized one-liner’s better than nothing. Still, I’m really enjoying this Remaster, so thanks to everyone, past and present.
I do like to stick it out with credits in games and movies, mostly because I have a strange feeling of completion.
I love this marketing. Love the site, love the phone message—I’m so hooked on the Brothers now! Speaking of the website, click on the red Call & Text Us Now! icon at the top right, and you’ll hear another easter egg… beyond the NES era!
Of all the surprise announcements in this Direct, this is the one that actually got me to scream loudly. It made my day! I could weep in joy, knowing that Professor Layton is returning. I seriously thought he was gone forever! I thought his franchise was done for, I could’ve sworn!
I seriously thought this was a spiritual successor to Style Savvy—same universe and developer. Guess not! I really wanted SS on the Switch, but I think this game will do.
Edit: @SakuraHaruka Ah! That explains a lot! Thank you.
At this point, I would be surprised if the pumpkin house is not at all connected to Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother, who has yet to be officially confirmed.
Picks up phone and magically calls his 9-year-old self “Hey, my past self! Remember that big crush you have on Princess Peach? Well, here’s a poster for you. Merry Christmas!”
I was really into The Smurfs when I was a tyke (one of my childhood gifts is a production cel of Smurfette talking to another Smurf—still have it), so I’m glad to hear that some new Smurfs game isn’t so smurfed. I’ll also keep an eye out for a discount!
This smurfy coincidence might also explain why I’ve been humming the music from the GameBoy Smurfs games recently…
I haven't played this game in well over twenty years, I imagine, yet the moment I saw this news, a specific music from Glover played in my head. Then a sound effect.
Unless I’m mistaken, the only score of Mr. Tyler‘s I’ve crossed paths with is the Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers Movie. I distinctly remember thinking the music was the best thing about that flick, so I’m totally on board with this project! The recent teaser completely turned around my previously grumpy-grump-negative mindset, and I couldn’t be happier! 😄
Edit: Oh, I’m totally mistaken. I’m definitely familiar with other movies he’s scored. Guess that one was just fresh on my mind. Either way, cool!
Considering I hated the idea of this movie when it was first announced to be from Illumination (and this was well before the voice actors' reveal), the fact that I looked at this and thought, "Huh, a lot better than I feared!" is a very, very good feeling. Whew! Well, it's just me, of course. And speaking of "it's just me," I thought this looked like a mish-mash of Nintendo's Mario and Captain Lou Albano's Mario from "The Super Show." So, I'll Do the Mario for the remainder of the day.
@N00BiSH Smiles and knowingly raises index finger Ahh, that "Earl Boen/Jess Harnell" bit really hits me hard, yeah! LeChuck just was not the same at all.
But, as for Bayonetta, I've personally been a fan of Jennifer Hale for a very long time, so I'll press on with the game.
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.
