I will always be a Pikmin 4 glazer. Yeah it does things differently from the other three games but a new game also should explore new ground. I for one, love the platforming and combat options Oatchi adds to the game, to make for more vertical areas to explore and scour.
“The Pikmin you grew up with is dead” My guy, the franchise you grew up with was neglected ☠️ Limited Western marketing, 9 years between 2 and 3, then 10 more before 4. Four mainline games in 22 years. The series is finally getting to grow and find its identity, this is good!!

Every day I find out there's a new shortcut in this game

It is set in the fat future based on continent shapes, and some treasures have Olimar describing them as long-lost artifacts, tho otherwise... not really. I think different areas on Pikmin earth have just changed in different ways, some zones are abandoned, others are not.
Has the series ever actually had anything that alluded to it being post-apocalyptic or did everyone just assume so cause there's a bit of litter

Rather they put effort into representing actual established characters (bonus if it's RPG because those have unique designs) over enemy specie #69. It's even worse if they don't even have limbs. I don't care if Mario is "unrealistic", there are different degrees of unrealism.

This is all just preparation for next year's Pikmin Direct where they show off Pikmin 5, trust

I mean, this still ended up being true, largely. Ragatha didn't have as many moments as Jax in EP5 but it still developed her character (as frankly did EP6 to an extent). Jax is also easily the character with the most layering so it makes sense he'd slowly get more focus.
like sorry yall cannot be blaming the fans when this was gooseworx during the pilot era😭

Guys, I think Freddi Fish 4 might be therapy slop

Somehow tops Hotel Transylvania 4 in terms of lousy movie endings, and that movie pulled the same shtick of the castle being destroyed and them fixing it in the last minute 😭
Name another movie that has a story as bleak as Mario's Even the Galaxy movie's ending just speaks for itself

The idea that some random birds got further into development than Diddy Kong...
Amazingly, MondoMega has found 8 additional potential scrapped drivers in a file that relates to the character weight stats: Twomp, Blooper, Ninji, Goomba "twins" (presumably Goomba Tower), Chain Chomp, Fuzzy, "Bird" and "Banana".

Deadass a Spiny was considered to become a playable racer before Boom Boom or Sumo Bros.
Spiny was seemingly at one point meant to be playable in Mario Kart World. Fellow 8 Deluxe modder Benial discovered Spiny's internal name is listed as a driver in several files. I know that there's a lot of MKWorld datamine memes going around but this is real.

I wish they didn't forgot to bring in the true MVP from Mario Odyssey into the fold as well😭Imagine how cool it would be to play as a sentient hat in spin-off's that could transform into different designs depending on their mood or happenings.
One of the most important things Super Mario Odyssey did was bring Pauline back into the fold. She's now a guaranteed inclusion in Mario Kart, Party and the Sports games.

On the surface I would get this, but meanwhile Wario and especially Waluigi have been resigned to being exclusively spin-off playable characters at this point. Nintendo's priorities in general are downright bizarre and frankly disappointing
"I think one reason that prevents the RPGs from making it into rosters is that Nintendo don't want to rely on characters who could not appear ever again if their respective devs decide so, not saying is a good or a bad thing."

It was a good year to be a Mario fan. If you weren't... not as much, but it had a lot of overlooked classics comapratively to most Nintendo years, from the best Mario Party, a super creative 2D Zelda, and not to mention an amazing rebirth for Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi.
Nintendo’s 2024 was so weird I always forget about this game

I've always said that a fan with the skills and dedication will 99% of the time make a more enjoyable game compared to companies. This is not to downplay the official efforts of Nintendo, but also, fans know what they enjoy the most, and what they think needs improving.
"People will go years avoiding Newer SMB DS thinking there's no way a fan hack can hold up to the official games, then you play it and it could be just a new official entry, it's just that good"

I remember how obsessed I used to be with the moon when I first saw it in the sky. I would make up my own lore about different forms the moon could take, and the different dangers that came from them lol
if you don't occasionally get excited about the moon idk what to tell you dude

Rare moment where the final game actually looks as enchanting as the concept art preceeding it.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land had some of the most beautiful concept art that the team at HAL Laboratory has created for the franchise. If you haven’t seen these early illustrations of the game’s world, check them all out! ✨ (1/3)

It's such a shame they didn't put as much love into the actual story-telling, characters and plot development as they did into the animation and action
GOD this is such a well choreographed action scene I love both Mario and Peach are perfectly in sync and are practically dancing through the security system, also i really love that they used the Mario Bros NES sprites for Jr's security system Lovely touch

The talent of Rimea is immeasurable
I've finally finished and released Wiggler Wilds, my latest Mario Kart 8 Deluxe custom track. Although its layout is relatively simple, it is nonetheless one of the most complex mods I've ever made due to the inclusion of numerous semi-custom track gimmicks and visual details.

I'm gonna be honest, this is most Kirby bosses to me. Most of them are just beeg enemies whom you spam your copy ability on or wait until they spawn stars for you to suck up and spit back. I can count on one hand how many Kirby bosses are actually interesting to me.
Kirby and The Forgotten Land's bosses are fine but none of them particularly stand out to me? Take Gorimondo, he's just some gorilla that's strong, way too simple. Spice him up with traits like being smart, from the moon and having a tesla cannon toggle
