I got mine yesterday. Got the email to redeem the skin on release night and at 12:18 AM yesterday I got the skin. Now, whenever I get Sonic Superstars off of the Xbox store on my PC, I’ll get the skin with it.
@NintendoWife I remember in an article saying that when making Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Nintendo wasn’t just trying new things - they were improving upon the past as well.
@HeeHo To be fair, the smooth gameplay is really the only valid defense I see for this game (outside the League challenge & the mons themselves). Don’t get me started on the negatives, because I will do everything in my power to not let TPC live down the fact that they ripped off Tubba Blubba from Paper Mario.
Sure, I do see where people are coming from with the "Sakurai drifting away from reality" statements, but you guys have to remember: this man is a PRODIGY. He is a huge part in why the Kirby games have such consistent quality after 31 years, and the reason why both the Kirby series & Super Smash Bros. EVEN EXIST (Sakurai made Kirby when he was 19, after all). And considering the quality of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Sakurai’s statement is far from unreasonable.
@Pigeon Nah, when it comes to Sonic, there’s three audiences you should know about - those who love Classic Sonic, those who love the good Modern Sonic games, and those who love the Pontac & Graff Modern Sonic games.
What they’re saying is that making a Mania 2 would target the audience that love Classic Sonic, and so they want to avoid doing that in a way that feels old and cliché.
@CharlieGirl You’re kind of forgetting that Origins happened after Mania. So you complaining about SEGA moving on from 2D after the mixed-bag fest that Origins is kinda hypocritical if you ask me.
I am not surprised at all due to how much of a ***** show the Pokémon fanbase is (with the Gen 1 bias they share with TPCi and all their… controversial stuff).
@AtlanteanMan Explain why SEGA has a Yakuza game coming out soon, why they’re still putting out Puyo Puyo games, why their classic Genesis games are on Steam, and why Shenmue got AN ANIME last year then.
Godspeed to Mr. Cathcart. He might not have been in some of the Pokémon anime’s best seasons (looking at you, Sun & Moon), but I wish him the best of luck on his recovery and hope he gets back to voice acting soon.
@rushiosan Someone who from experience has seen movies I feared would be bad and they actually turned out being rather good. Granted it was through Mystery Science Theater 3000, but still.
@PBandSmelly Agreed, though I can’t deny I really do want to see an animated Kirby movie.
@PinderSchloss From what I heard, the Mario movie did do well in theaters with fans, and that had a serious plot with some comedy in it. Yeah, I think Illumination can pull a Zelda movie off.
@Wexter To be fair, the people promoting it are giving Nintendo a piece of their own medicine. I mean, the worst Nintendo had done to the emulation community was shut down a tournament just because it involved the use of an outside emulator, and that only resulted in the Smash community getting triggered.
I’m more pissed at the fact that even though I bought the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, Nintendo is begging me to buy their ***** online service expansion because they’ve turned into Mr. Krabs.

Re: Nintendo Accounts To "Help Ease" Next-Gen Transition, According To Doug Bowser
Now how Doug Bowser is doing a better job of keeping Nintendo under control compared to EA is something I’ll never know, but at least it’s good news.
Re: Reminder: Sonic Superstars Free Amy Rose Outfit And LEGO Sonic Skin Now Available
I got mine yesterday. Got the email to redeem the skin on release night and at 12:18 AM yesterday I got the skin. Now, whenever I get Sonic Superstars off of the Xbox store on my PC, I’ll get the skin with it.
Re: Random: Nintendo Gives Princess Peach Some Facial Tweaks In 'Showtime!' Key Art
And now I can happily say that Peach has finally received American Kirby Syndrome.
Re: Random: Bowser Tries To Woo Elephant Peach In Super Mario Bros. Wonder Ad
I see that Bowser is taking what he learned from Mario Odyssey and staying with it. Go him.
Re: Random: Some Switch Fans Want A Super Mario Bros. Wonder eShop Demo
@Poodlestargenerica Legit, bro.
People are crying over no eShop demo because they wanna datamine. XD

Re: Takaya Imamura Expresses His Love For F-Zero 99, Awaits 'Revival Of The IP'
@judaspete F-Zero fans are weird, am I right? They keep asking for a new game, and when they finally get one, they don’t play it.
Re: Poll: Who Will You Be Playing As In Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
Luigi time for me.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online - Every NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, And GBA Game Available
@DaveJaVu Yeah, Mario Party 3 is going to be the 24th.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Another Game Next Week
I’m just glad we won’t have to wait too much longer for Mario Party 3 anymore.
Re: Soapbox: Charles Martinet Made Gaming's Greatest Accident A Real Character
@Roibeard64 I mean, that’s what they did with Daisy for Mario Party 4 & Mario Party 5.
Re: SNK Shares First Look At Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves
@Zochmenos I actually competed in Smash Ultimate. Got 257th place out of 513 people.
Re: SNK Shares First Look At Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves
Let’s go! I’m glad I got to play Mark of the Wolves at CEO 2023!
Re: Sonic Mania 2 Didn't Happen Because Sega Wanted To "Move Beyond" Pixel Art
@Pigeon Maybe because it’s using Classic Sonic in a way that doesn't feel old & cliché?
Re: Sakurai Can't Imagine Future Super Smash Bros. Games Without His Involvement
@Wakkawipeout I said he is a huge part in why the games have their consistent quality. I didn’t say he worked on every game after Air Ride.
Re: Sonic Mania 2 Didn't Happen Because Sega Wanted To "Move Beyond" Pixel Art
@sForzan You do know people loved Frontiers, right?

Re: Sonic Mania 2 Didn't Happen Because Sega Wanted To "Move Beyond" Pixel Art
@CharlieGirl Compilation or not, Origins is still a 2D Sonic game. So, what I said still applies.

Re: Sonic Mania 2 Didn't Happen Because Sega Wanted To "Move Beyond" Pixel Art
@Waluigi451 “You don’t see Mario relying on the old graphics and style, they’re almost always pushing forward.”
Nintendo spent sixteen years releasing New Super Mario Bros. games. (I know you said almost always, but I feel like I should point this out.)
Re: Shantae's Cancelled Game Boy Advance Project 'Risky Revolution' Is Being Revived
@YoshiF2 Or you could get a GBA off of eBay. There’s fully functioning ones that are at a decent price there.
This coming from someone who still owns his platinum silver GameBoy Advance SP.
Re: Random: Kamek's Horn Sound In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is A Neat Throwback To Yoshi's Island
And in other news, the sky is blue.
Re: Random: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Sunset Wilds Is Missing One Key Thing
OK, and? The track still takes place at sunset.
Re: Takaya Imamura: F-Zero Hasn't Been Revived Because Mario Kart Is Nintendo's "Most Popular Racing Game"
@AtlanteanMan Well, I am both a gamer and a Sonic fan. I do like obscure games and popular games alike after all.
Re: Pokémon Launches Official Community Forums And It's Already A Disaster
I am not surprised at all due to how much of a ***** show the Pokémon fanbase is (with the Gen 1 bias they share with TPCi and all their… controversial stuff).
Re: Takaya Imamura: F-Zero Hasn't Been Revived Because Mario Kart Is Nintendo's "Most Popular Racing Game"
@larryisaman Correction: 692 THOUSAND.
Re: Takaya Imamura: F-Zero Hasn't Been Revived Because Mario Kart Is Nintendo's "Most Popular Racing Game"
@AtlanteanMan Oh, did I forget to mention? SEGA’s making a new Samba de Amigo this year.
Re: Takaya Imamura: F-Zero Hasn't Been Revived Because Mario Kart Is Nintendo's "Most Popular Racing Game"
@AtlanteanMan Explain why SEGA has a Yakuza game coming out soon, why they’re still putting out Puyo Puyo games, why their classic Genesis games are on Steam, and why Shenmue got AN ANIME last year then.
Yeah, I thought so.
Re: Takaya Imamura: F-Zero Hasn't Been Revived Because Mario Kart Is Nintendo's "Most Popular Racing Game"
@Sisilly_G Um… Maximum Velocity sold 1.5 million copies. Not GX.
Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
@presenttense You’re welcome.
@PSPMan3000 I’m not the guy you pinged, but I don’t think they’re going to because WHY THE HELL WOULD MUSIC HAVE ANY AFFECT ON THE GAMEPLAY?!
Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
@presenttense Don’t cancel it. It’s just the fandom being the fandom.
Re: Random: OG Donkey Kong Country TV Series Cast Reunites For Animated Short
@AstroTheGamosian Actually, 4Kids (now known as 4K Media) did every episode of the Kirby anime excluding the pilot.
Additionally, 4Kids is not responsible for butchering the anime they dubbed. Blame the Federal Communications Commission on that.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Brings Back Mushroom Bridge For Upcoming Mii Tour
Also they brought back the original score from Double Dash, let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Re: Mario Kart Tour Brings Back Mushroom Bridge For Upcoming Mii Tour
@Stew Are you still on about that? Because Nintendo said it’s not going to happen next year or anytime soon.
Re: Disney Speedstorm Won't Nerf Monsters, Inc. Racer Mike Wazowski
@ComfyAko To be fair, the microtransactions were what led to Chocobo GP being cancelled.
As for Speedstorm, I feel like it’s going to share the same fate because of Mike Wazowski.
Re: Mario Movie Home Release Bonus Features Seemingly Detailed
@-wc- You’re thinking of 1993 movie Mario.
Re: Mario Movie Breaks Multiple Records In Japan's Opening Weekend
@Smug43 Dude, chill out. I know you’re excited for this milestone but this doesn’t mean the Sonic movies are bad.
Re: Mario's Creator Shigeru Miyamoto Teases More Nintendo Movies
@Debbiee We do not discuss the live action version of Mewtwo Strikes Back.
Re: Veteran Pokémon Anime Voice Actor To Retire
Godspeed to Mr. Cathcart. He might not have been in some of the Pokémon anime’s best seasons (looking at you, Sun & Moon), but I wish him the best of luck on his recovery and hope he gets back to voice acting soon.

Re: Miyamoto Talks About Other Nintendo Movies, Says There's "Probably Nothing To Announce In The Near Future"
@PBandSmelly Agreed, though I can’t deny I really do want to see an animated Kirby movie.
@PinderSchloss From what I heard, the Mario movie did do well in theaters with fans, and that had a serious plot with some comedy in it. Yeah, I think Illumination can pull a Zelda movie off.
Re: It's Official, E3 2023 Has Been Cancelled
@Serpenterror I agree with you there.
Re: Seth Rogen On Voicing Donkey Kong In The Mario Movie: "It's Gonna Sound Like Me And That's It"
@rushiosan When are you going to learn not to judge a book by its cover?
Re: New Pokémon Anime Stars Are Getting Their Own Manga Series
@Savage_Joe MY COMMENT DOESN’T COUNT, NUMBER 1.
2, that theory isn’t awesome because all people have to go off of is Riko’s eyes & hairpin.
Re: New Pokémon Anime Stars Are Getting Their Own Manga Series
If people begin to make comments on that stupid theory on if Riko is Ash & Serena’s daughter I swear to the heavens above…
Re: Review: Tales of Symphonia Remastered - A GameCube Classic That Shows Its Age On Switch
@Wexter To be fair, the people promoting it are giving Nintendo a piece of their own medicine. I mean, the worst Nintendo had done to the emulation community was shut down a tournament just because it involved the use of an outside emulator, and that only resulted in the Smash community getting triggered.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's N64 Emulation Is Serviceable, But Treasured Memories Deserve Better
I’m more pissed at the fact that even though I bought the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, Nintendo is begging me to buy their ***** online service expansion because they’ve turned into Mr. Krabs.
