Going to say that it's POSSIBLE Nintendo and TPC have a case on copyright infringement, but I'm guessing they rather have this fizzle out than get the suits involved. Then again, they have a case against DeviantArt recolors, so...
Personally, I would of liked it if they split off Mario/Luigi's voice from Wario's. Not saying his Wario voice is bad, but it doesn't seem to fit as well compared to how nearly seamless the transition from Charles to Kevin for the Mario Bros were.
@PrettyPatrick I mean, there is a game that is called "YEAH! YOU WANT 'THOSE GAMES,' RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!" which takes the piss on those fake mobile game ads. So....
I REALLY don't want this to be Yo-Kai Watch 5. I'm also not sure if it's a new IP, Level-5 is currently giving the series an anniversary roll-out for it's 10th. My guess its a side-game like how Busters/Blasters was. Still, I wish that Level-5 were more transparent (heh) about their plans for the series
(Look, all I want is either the English version of Yo-kai Watch 4 or a remake/port of 2. Hell, I would actually be happy if they canceled the English version of 4, I'm tired of coping)
@Tyranexx That and timing. Nearly all the momentum of the series hit the wall HARD in 2016. Pokemon's 20th (Which included Gen 7 AND Pokemon Go)
@UltimateOtaku91 This is like, the third or fourth time?
@Otherboard Agreed. This feels much to similar of how they tried to make Yo-kai Watch an international IP but the ball stopped rolling.
@AtlanteanMan Is Camelot of today the same Camelot in the 90's and early 2000's? As in the people who made Shining Force and Golden Sun still at the company, working on Mario Sports games?
It's also baffling how Dave the Diver was nominated despite it having the backing of a multi-million dollar company because it "looked indie". Also, Cocoon was actually NOT the developers' first game, thus giving it "Best Debut Indie Game" cheapened the award.
Disclaimer: Yes, I AM a Pizza Tower fan. I'm actually in the credits under my real name, so I do have some beef with the awards being stolen. I'm annoyed that at the start Geoff highlighted "Tour de Pizza" in the audience as if he KNEW that Pizza Tower wasn't going to win the award.
@HeadPirate Hold up. I know of the love hotels, but porn?! Did they actually do porn in the past or are you referring to those two 90's porn parodies of Mario that Nintendo bought the rights to and threw them in the deepest part of the Nintendo vault, ala Song of the South?
FYI, the reward for this survey is a 10% off code for Pac-Man stuff in the Bandai-Namco store. Also, make sure to tell them that they should try to wrangle the royalties of Ms Pac-Man from AtGames.
Level-5 really seems to bite off more than they can chew.
@Anti-Matter They announced an English version of YW4 around 2019, but considering what happened after, I think it's safe to say that it's bunk-mates with an official Mother 3 English release. Also, I doubt a Switch version of 2 or 3 would be made considering how hard the first port bombed in Japan alone.
@Princess_Lilly Didn't they sort of recon her a bit?
Another day, another live service game dead. I really hope that the trend of trying to get whales into a game dies the same way as whaling IRL. There are only so many you can hunt before they become extinct.
8bitdo really is the Swiss Army knife of controllers. I do wish that they still made the Super Famicom colored controllers like they did for the Pro 1 controllers.
I don't think this would happen. Video games have ALWAYS been Disney's weak point since the start of the medium. Yes there are good Disney games, but not so much of Disney MADE games. They never really built a studio from the ground up and the studios they have bought over the years failed to really fall in the groove like the other major buyouts Iger has made.
I don't think Disney should make any major investments in the Gaming industry as long as Bob is in charge.

Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility
Super mega disagree. I doubt the Switch 2 would sell as well as the Switch 1 if it couldn't play the older games. We don't NEED it, we SHOULD have it.
