Is Bayonetta really an icon?

I like it. Its design reminds me of a Hanna-Barbera character.

The only bug I encountered so far was one where I couldn't continue with the battle, because the enemy's turn never loaded.

Grafaiai is actually one of the most creative Pokémon from this game. An aye aye that marks his territory like a street thug and also looks like one. That is really cool. I will take such an original concept over the 1'000 cutie kitty or puppy Pokémon we already have.

We could hear that from the first trailer. This Sonic game will have more ambience music anyway.

I never really get why influencers are so popular. In real life and in fiction. Also, what is up with the fangs lately? I get why Professor Sada has them, since she is a wild cave woman, but what is Iono's excuse.

@Derringer
Everyone does this now. And people can see, that the companies just want to pander.

Wait… didn't Sonic had a skill tree in Sonic & the Secret Rings?

What is up with all the women with fangs lately in Pokémon? I get Professor Sada, because she is a cave woman, but why her?

Punk chicks seemed to be the newest trend it seems.

@VoidofLight
Those are probably just test voices.

More an animatic than anything. I wouldn't mind seeing a KH animated series... in the past. Now, it is another story. I'm not sure if the current Disney could handle KH as an animated TV series. Disney has other priorities now.

They really want to push these terrible SpongeBob spinoffs hard. Instead of interesting characters such as Timmy Turner, Tommy, Angelica, Norbert, Dagget, Heffer, Mr. Blik, or Katara we get Young SpongeBob, Young Patrick, and Squidina. Well, we still can get DLCs at one point, but still, what a waste. If they really needed to bring in three other SpongeBob characters, why not appealing ones, such as Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Mrs. Puff?

@turntSNACO
The cancel culture exists. And many companies listen to a handful of people that complain about something in a game. Look at Multiversus. They needed to change Velma's special move, because people looked too much into it.

You can cook in Sonic Frontiers? But... I thought Sonic onyl eats chili-dogs...

Guys, it is not hard to understand my point: Diversity is okay, if it is done honestly. If it is pandering, it is not okay.

@RavenDuroi
Once again. It is the politics that bothers me. Most companies just create characters such as Junker Queen or the new version of Tawna from Crash 4 so that they not come off as sexist or racist or homophobic.

@NinjaWaddleDee
If you mean "Kiriko", then yes, she is okay. She feels a bit more honest compare to Junker Queen.

@ComposedbyNone
Trust me, I'm open for female characters, black characters, or gay characters in video games, as long as the creators and the company create them honestly. One of my favourite franchises is Shantae, and and this game has a woman of colour as the in protagonist.

@OnlyItsMeReid
Yes, but let's be honest here. If you create in our current times a tall, muscular, lesbian woman of colour with a half-shaved head, you most likely just do this out of political reason. This is something that bothers me so much. Tracer was already a pretty cool female character. But been feminine is not considered progressive in our modern times, so they have to turn almost every female now into a more masculine character.

I'm not really a fan of some of the new characters they have for Overwatch 2. Feels once again like a company wants to show off how political correct they are. And before anyone gets mad at me, we are talking about Activision here, one of the most disgusting software developers out there. Do you really think they suddenly care about women and minorities? No, they just want to distract us from the truth. Which is the reason a lot of their modern games such as Crash Bandicoot and Overwatch have this “progressive” characters.

I would rather have a new Spyro.

This has nothing to do with Fix-It-Felx. We are just not used to see Mario with an expression on his face. Let's face it. He was nothing but a blank slate for the last years.

I heard that Illumination and Nintendo are interested in a potential Luigi's Mansion spin-off film.

What a horrible way to live. Imagine if your own head is fused and surrounded by another head, that its own will. Its life is like that of CatDog, only more bizarre.

That is a very faithful design. Good job Illumination.

I'm not sure if it was a good idea to spoil in an official trailer who the main villain is, even if some fans had this theory about Rosalina being the villain months ago. The only thing that we have to see now is, how Rosie got corrupted. Since Rayman is now part of it, I hope it is a Rayman villain such as Mr. Dark.

Rule34 will have a field day with that thing.

@ketrac
Well, with cheap I mean that, in comparison to Pixar or Dreamworks, there are much cheaper. Of course, their films still cost millions of US dollars.

@ketrac
Illumination just found the perfect business plan for animation. Make cheep films, that a lot of people watch. Their films are always just good enough. But do not need to be master pieces.

This film will most likely be either a disaster or, like many other films from Illumination, just mediocre at best.

@russell-marlow
Don't ever compare me to to that left-wing, men-hating person again!

This game should have been just Dinosaur Planet. If that happened, Krystal would have become one of Rare's cooler female lead characters such as Dixie Kong, Kazooie, or Kameo, instead of the sexualist damsel in distress she is now.

I get why Nintendo did this, so that they can keep the Dinosaur Planet IP (and never use it again), but it still blows.

Finally, but I hope we see a good trailer, and not just a teaser. A teaser could show us just the shadow of Mario or Mario's hand grabbing a mushroom.

@Sky1Eagle1
Trust me, compare to old Diddy, this new version can be replaced with a normal monkey. Compare him to other monkey and primate characters in pop culture such as King Kong, Winston, Aiai, Amigo, etc. you can see how boring Diddy looks in comparison.

@Poodlestargenerica
DK is the Scoooby Doo one? Scooby has way more personality than modern DK.

@Clyde_Radcliffe
Animal cartoon characters sadly are kinda outdated now, which is the reason you rarely see them. And the once we still get, such as Sonic, are more written like humans / superheroes.

@steventonysmith
He had more traits of a cartoon character back when Rare was in charge of the series. He had his boom box, an electric guitar, juggled with some balls, could be a bit nasty sometimes (see the end credits of DKC), that weird animation he did with his eyes, when he was surprised about something.

Pauline has really great animation. So much charm and personality. Diddy Kong on the other hand is just a generic monkey at this point. Man, I really miss Rare-Diddy.

I wish Sonic Team and SEGA would do more non-Sonic games such as Nights or Billy Hatcher.

@steventonysmith
I would wait until it comes out. Only a few weeks to wait, and we will finally see if it is another terrible game or something good.

@steventonysmith
I'm not praising them... yet. But at least Sonic gets something. Other franchises are not that lucky.

Sonic fans definitely get treated quite well this year. I wish other franchises would get as much respect from the company as Sonic. Heck, Ubisoft didn't even mention the anniversary of their mascot. Sonis has gotten this year a film, a TV show, new comic books, a mobile game, and a big anniversary game coming by the end of this year.

Rayman was always a cool character. He doesn't need to stand next to Mario to be cool.

I must admit, that giant titan with the revolver bit looks really cool and intimidating. But he looks more like he could be from an anime property like Neon Genesis Evangelion.

@GenXGamer
A very poor photo of the game was also leaked, where we could see, that the new main character had re-blue-hair like a Pepsi can.

@GhostDaddy
A photo of the game was leaked months ago.

Finally, I can stop calling it Breath of the Wild 2.

This was already leaked months ago.

I still can not get used seeing the TMNTs and Garfield as official Nickelodeon characters. I mean, they are, but I still can not see them as such. Hopefully, we see more new faces. Most of the characters were either already in the last two racing games or the Nick-All-Star Brawl. I think the only exceptions are so far Raphael, Odie and Jimmy Neutron. I hope the Angry Beavers get in. The most forgotten Nicktoon from the 90s.
