It’s great that Kamek finally gets the spotlight after being cut from 64. I don’t have the DLC so I probably shouldn’t care, but where are my guest characters? C’mon Kirby!
@Sisilly_G I may not be old enough to remember, but I think most of that goodwill can be traced back to the original games and Sega’s rivalry with Nintendo in the ‘90s. Which is kinda what is being replicated here, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Oh, so is it one of those “two completely different companies make different movies based around the a similar premise which release at the same time and the audience has to decide which one is better” types of things? Like those Volcano and Asteroid disaster movies?
With 3D Mario, I feel like it should stick with how things have been going with console grouping. If it’s on the Switch, then Odyssey 2. If a new console, then an entirely new thing.
Yeah, $12.08 is not a “natural” price, so this is likely a tease. I really don’t think it should be a platform fighter, but CTR showed that Crash has enough characters for it to work.
With the fact that Rosalina is in the game, where’s a rabbid Bowser. Or Mario version of the new character? Everyone seems to have their opposites in one form or another.
MASCOT SIMULATOR
A game were you dress up as a mascot for a sports team, pizza chain, theme park, etc. Its a dance/rhythm game where the goal is to get the audience as hyped as possible.
Edit: The switch version includes a Super Nintendo World expansion in which whatever Mario/Universal character joins in as well.
Companies should do this more often. If anyone is going to find a way to revive older, obscure franchises, it’s going to be the indie developers who truly appreciate these games.

@Greatluigi, those are nowhere near comparable, my friend…

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Sonic Superstars Are In
Does anyone else think there may be a fifth character based on the spacing of the characters on the demo screen? It’s pretty empty next to Tails…
Re: Random: Some Fans Think They've Spotted A 'Mario Kart 10' Teaser In The Mario Movie
So what about the other numbers? What happened on January 1st, 2021. Also, what does 100 mean?
Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?
The shape of the building looks like a baseball field, but those lines in the circle look too curved to be it.
Re: New Mario Bros. Movie Footage Shows Off Seth Rogan As Donkey Kong
“…now you die.” What’s going on with that? It seems like Peach and Toad are at least acquainted with the Kongs, so why is this a death match?
Re: Cryptic Disney Dreamlight Valley Tweet Could Signal New Surprise Content
Strange New Worlds? It’s more recent and it has a spaceship (I think).
Re: Poll: Splatoon 3's Pokémon-Themed Splatfest Is This Weekend, Which Type Will You Pick?
@Fizza I also believe water type is just better to start with. It also helps that the representative it BIG MAN.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
I feel like the Japanese box doesn’t convey the SPEED of F-Zero.
Re: Feature: The Best Moustaches In Video Games Ranked
@Nua Eggman all the way!
Re: Talking Point: Would You Prefer 'Super Mario Odyssey 2' Or A Totally New 3D Mario?
With 3D Mario, I feel like it should stick with how things have been going with console grouping. If it’s on the Switch, then Odyssey 2. If a new console, then an entirely new thing.

@ModdedInkling Let’s justify it with a Spiderman pointing meme.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Pilotwings 64
The NA one and the EU one both manage to crop out that one guy with the N64 logo.
Re: Rumour: Activision Might Be Teasing A New Crash Bandicoot Game Reveal
Yeah, $12.08 is not a “natural” price, so this is likely a tease. I really don’t think it should be a platform fighter, but CTR showed that Crash has enough characters for it to work.
Re: Random: Oh No, The Internet Thinks Chris Pratt As Mario Sounds Like Linda From Bob's Burgers
I also heard a little Dwayne Johnson in Jack Black’s Bowser. “I do not.”
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Mario's Movie Voice?
Bowser sounds like a mix of Jack Black and Dwayne Johnson, which I don’t hate.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Speeds Into Autumn Celebration With New Driver And Tour To Come Soon
I wonder if they’ll do a movie tie in with the supposed redesigns…
Re: A New Transformers Game Might Be Coming To Switch Next Year
It may tie in to that new Nickelodeon show, so my hopes aren’t that high. But, who knows?
Re: Random: Chris Pratt Is Mario In This Unreal Engine Super Mario Bros. Remake
Hey! Isn’t that Honest Trailers’s Epic Voice Guy?
Re: Wait, Is Rosalina Evil In Mario + Rabbids? The Internet Sure Seems To Think So
With the fact that Rosalina is in the game, where’s a rabbid Bowser. Or Mario version of the new character? Everyone seems to have their opposites in one form or another.
Re: Gigantosaurus Looks To Take On Mario Kart With Prehistoric Karting Mayhem
Mario Kart and Smash Bros knockoffs are the new Mario 64 and Mario Party clones.
Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Should You Play First?
I honestly did not care about Zelda games before BOTW, so it really seems like a great option for newcomers.
Re: Random: Kirby Gets An Elden Ring Makeover In This Detailed Crossover Art
Kirby really has the potential to be made into so many great pieces of art.

@FishyS Wait, is I am Bread an Xbox exclusive? Just curious…
Re: Random: Mortal Kombat Logo Was Nearly Scrapped After Being Mistaken For A Seahorse
Yeah, I can see how you could mistake it for a seahorse.
Re: Sega Shares The First Official Teaser For Netflix's Sonic Prime
Something about how they represent Sonic running feels off. I know it’s how he runs in the 2d games, but it just doesn’t translate well here.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe On Switch
I feel like Nintendo and HAL could remaster these older titles more often, thus making room for more games like Forgotten Land.
Re: La-Mulana Director To Remake Obscure Konami MSX IP After Winning Contest
