Surprise! Character Pass 3 announced for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.... and it's five Fire Emblem characters and Waluigi. The internet would be so conflicted!
@Christoble I backed that Kickstarter. Jools' almost complete lack of updates in the past 5 years has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. He'll go completely radio silent for months on end and then pop up all of a sudden with "look guys, here's one of the sprites from the game, isn't it cool?"
Like someone said, f**king crook.
Compare that to Adam Kareem's Kickstarter for Protodroid Delta (another project I backed) and it's like night and day. Yes the game's been delayed a few times but he's been consistently coming out with monthly updates, going into the nitty gritty of the game's development, and if he goes a month or two without an update, he's back with some massive super update telling us how the game's coming along. It's a shame that he seems to be completely burned out and has given the impression he won't make another game after this, because he's clearly worked hard and I would 100% back another project of his.
Edit:
In fact, @Olliemar28 I think any future articles/stories on Atooi's games should make readers aware of Jools' antics on Kickstarter. They should be informed in regards to who they're giving their money to.

Re: 'Hatch Tales' Release Date Finally Revealed Six Years On
Also @dartmonkey can we add the word "allegedly" to the headline of this article? And the byline. And several times throughout the article itself?
It seems apt, given Jools' track record.
Re: 'Hatch Tales' Release Date Finally Revealed Six Years On
I've been waiting for this article to drop (backers were emailed a Kickstarter update about the release date an hour early) just so I can come say:
Jools is a joke and shouldn't be supported.
Re: Talking Point: How Does Switch's Year 7 Compare To Previous Nintendo Consoles?
@dartmonkey you've got Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 release year on N64 as 2022. Not sure that's wholly accurate 🤣

"Can't imagine it will be altered too much for the Switch" ?

Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
@Olliemar28 Sonic fans have high standards.
As a Sonic fan I can safely say that, no, we do not 🤣
Re: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Dev's New Racer Is Mario Kart Meets Battle Royale
@LilyGoMEOW Sumo did Team Sonic Racing.
@Jhena TSR is the best of the Sonic racing games and I will die on that hill.
Re: Protodroid Delta Brings Fast And Fluid 3D Action To Switch Later This Month
I backed the Kickstarter for this, so naturally I'll be trying it. I played the demo on PC a few months back and had fun with it.

Re: Random: Sega And Uncanny Brands Team Up To Reveal A Sonic Waffle Maker
Shouldn't the waffle be blue?
Re: Review: GoldenEye 007 - Aged And Flawed, But Still A Masterpiece Of Game Design
@Edu23XWiiU as the writer of the original review from 2011, I agree.
Re: Rumour: The Mario Movie's True Title Probably Won't Shock Anyone
@Olliemar28 Technically, there aren't two called The Avengers. Its title is Marvel Studios' The Avengers.
