I wonder if the big three expect this when they shut servers down.

I’ve never played a video game on YouTube. Actually… I didn’t know they had games. Last night, while waiting for my oven to heat up, I listened to YouTube. I see they have games. I click on Cut the Rope. Ever heard of the game. But the title caught my attention. I ended up letting my oven heat up way longer than planned. I got addicted to that game… QUICKLY! I had to force myself to stop playing. I won’t be playing it anymore. 😂

@BANJO i dont remember the soundtrack! Interesting to know! I grew to LOVE soundtracks over the years!

Back in the day, I spent many hours playing Extreme G while listening to the Spice Girls! ☺️

The Loco Motive pic gives me 90s cartoon vibes. ❤️

SUNSOFT! I don't think I've seen or heard about them in years!

Didn’t a group go Xbox fans prevent Microsoft from shutting their online service by keeping their Xboxes on? I think this was the original Xbox.

I LOVED Super Paper Mario! I was annoyed how it was never apart of the conversation when the latest Mario RPG came out on the Switch. And people reminisced on the great games of the past. I loved the game play and humor.

@Joeynator3000 Not a fan of Illumination. They don't make movies that warrant this kind of analysis. I didn't watch the Mario movie. So I was surprised to see this article. Then I saw your comment. And all is right with the world, again! 😄

I wonder what the workload is like for the Sonic movie crew. One movie every two years seems like a huge undertaking.

I don’t play Pokémon. So I can’t speak on gameplay. But after a certain game has dropped, Pokémon looks boring.

Edit: I'm not trying to troll. I'm just going by an outside perspective.

I saw the thumbnail and thought about Big Bang Mini. I LOVED that game!

Seeing this reminded me of something. Do you remember that game that was announced? It was a dude with a sword. The gameplay styles change. He could jump in and out of the different gameplay styles. I think it's an indie game.

Edit: I just remembered the game. The Plucky Squire. I see its been delayed.

When I used to see comments saying “There’s nothing to play” I wondered how much sun those people were getting. And it wasn't as if there was a drought in games. I used to wonder where did they find the time?

Whenever I see this game, I think about the sequel. This leads me to think about a word I haven't seen since the 90s (shout-out to the Panasonic, M2!)….VAPORWARE!!!

What mystique? Acting like they're Scientologists (before the world knew). 😂 I read a book about Rockstar, years ago. It went into details about development. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Are mobile games still a big deal? Outside of that watermelon game, I don't remember the last time I heard about mobile games.

At some point we would probably get more ET, moments, than Zelda. Kind of extreme, but, not really. 🤷🏿‍♂️

@Greatluigi I was thinking, movies. Back in 2011. When Disney released a Winnie the Pooh, movie, the same day, as the final Harry Potter, movie.

I loved the first game. Didn’t one of her powers involve crying?

The gaming industry is in a weird place. 😏

@Anti-Matter For some reason, seeing that cover art, took me back to PC gaming, mid 90’s. When there were A LOT of game collections being sold. Also, bundled with new computers. 😂 🤷🏿‍♂️

@FragRed And if he were to get caught. At the most, a possible… meme. Some viral, Twitter clips. 🤷🏿‍♂️ I’m talking about both of our countries! I peep what goes on, over there. It’s not an everyday. But I’ve seen enough to get the gist!

@FragRed He should try American politics. He can get away with A LOT!

I think back to 2015. When the rumors started. The new console. Nintendo, wanting to expand outside of video games. Merging console and handheld divisions. Not to mention, the skeptics. Look at Nintendo, now. Hotter than ever. Selling all those copies of Zelda, this late in the systems lifespan. The movies success, after… you know. Has the Switch help Metroid become more popular? Or is it still about the same?

Such a far cry, from the days of being “edgy” by including Mario in DDR. Or that occasional game, like, Eternal Darkness. Or deal, like Capcom and Resident Evil.

I had two friends. One with the Genesis version. The other, SNES. We spent more time at the friends house, with the Genesis version. 😂

April Fools is fun when your a child. It’s annoying, as you get older. You forget, but get a reminder, when you start seeing ridiculous articles. And don’t let somebody announce something, legit, that you may have interest in. The skepticism of it all. 😏

Is it safe to say, the Switch, has made Metroid, mainstream?

Has the Switch helped Metroid become mainstream? Is it even mainstream?

@HeadPirate hasn’t hostile takeovers happened to other game companies? I seem to remember reading about it happening to another company, and people wondered about Nintendo. And that’s how I found out about the steps it would take.

@Fangleman32 well said. 😂

Where do you guys find the time to play all of these games? 🤷🏿‍♂️

I’ve learned not to get excited. The last time, too many farming sims and RPG’s, that took me back to the 90’s. 😏

Is SpongeBob still a top tier show? I’m talking ratings. Has it regained any of its old luster? Are the spin-offs any good? I used to be a MEGA fan! If only I could post pics of my childhood, bedroom. That was a shrine to him, as I lived in that room, into my early, thirties.

I remember a dip in quality, after the movie. Which was the fifth season. But I still enjoyed it. By season nine, my interest dropped. I haven’t watched it since.

I remember the creator, returned, before he passed away. Did it help? I guess the fact that it got spin-offs, means it’s still pulling in numbers? 🤷🏿‍♂️

It’s always a downgrade, when it comes to Universal Studio, California.

AI art feels so cold. Even Van Gogh or Frida Kahlo’s work (self portraits) feel cold, still human. Although, I wonder. Would I still feel this way, if I didn’t know? On the flip side, my mindset was not a negative one, when I first heard about AI, art. But my feeling became stronger, the more I looked at it. 🤷🏿‍♂️

@Vil @Vil I got flack for talking about the abundance of JRPG’s and farming simulators, during the last major, Nintendo Direct. I couldn’t believe how many they showed. People made it seem like there was something wrong with me. I also agree with you, when it comes to the movie. Hopefully, Nintendo won’t miss the opportunity, to release an original game, along with the movie.

@SwitchForce are u serious? I’m not being a misogynist. I only thought of her because she was recently questioned. On national tv. She got nervous. Taking sips of water. Mumbling her response, before moving on to the next question. 🤷🏿‍♂️

@SwitchForce When i commented, I was thinking about Nancy Pelosi. She’s worth hundreds of millions. When she was questioned, about insider trading, she became nervous.

Yugi got in the wrong profession! He should have been a politician!

How is this game ok, but other games have been, taken down, by Nintendo?

I remember when this game was announced. It seemed like … A LOT, for want of a better phrase. The gameplay. The character designs. And I’ve played a couple of past games. LOVED, Strangers Wrath. Actually … off putting. That’s a great way for me to describe how I felt, when I originally saw it.

It’ll be interesting to see how this will run on the Switch. From what I remember, there was a lot going on, at times, during the trailer. A lot of characters and action.

Is this game still popular? Don’t hear much about it, anymore? If not, let me guess. Greed got in the way and drove players away?

@NinjaNicky because the fans keep supporting it. Why bother putting in the time and resources?

@Snatcher me too. It gives the movie an edge. I like animated movies with a dark tone. Toy Story 3 & 4, How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Inside Out, to name a few.

Congratulations on seeing this through. I had the original MM. I could never get into it. Way to hectic for me. It’s like playing a Marvel vs., fighting game. With the tag teaming and crazy combos, I could never get into it. I would play it and think, “I just wanna play a Street Fighter Alpha game, instead!” 😂

@RareFan so true. Their movies appeal to the widest audiences possible. Which means lots of typical crap. I loved the first Despicable Me. I liked The Lorax. If I remember correctly, I though Sing was, ok. But I don’t understand the enduring popularity of the Minons. I tried to watch the first movie. So annoying. DM2 wasn’t good. They make movies that shut children up and put parents to sleep. They’ll never make an Up, WALL·E or How to Train Your Dragon. Not that every movie has to live up to that standard, but it would be nice, if they strived for higher standards. And the public keeps eating it up. 🙄

I have one of these games (Switch). The problem, for me, is that the rules to completing the big puzzles, can be confusing. And I’ve had Picross experience, going back to the DS. I also enjoyed the 3DS, game. And the one on the Gameboy. I think it’s called, Mario Picross. I usually have to use the tools, to help me solve the puzzles. Even then, I’m left confused. 🤷🏿‍♂️
