Really Ilini's latest activity

I also agree on the Shake King being a fun parallel to Wario; he feels like a Wario who never moved on from his more villainous ambitions. A particular detail I love (though I'm not 100% sure is intentional) is that you encounter the Shake King...

I like Shake King because he's got a lot of parallels to Wario, and indeed makes a great rival, but he's not a rival in the same way Syrup is to Wario. Syrup and Wario are both equally as crazy about the money and are sometimes villians too, but...

I thought she could be the one to pop up when techy stuff needs to be explained but I'm trying to figure out what personality and role she could have beyond being a walking plot device. ---- Bridge of Faust has graciously answered my request to...

Heartbreaking update: Game lures you into a false sense of security by making you think you're good at the game on one difficulty level (consistently beating max level CPUs) before kicking your teeth in on the next level of diffculty (online...

I'm with you on Super Mario 63, that game is a formative childhood memory for me. Outside of some glitches, it still holds up as a game I love to revisit every couple years. I struggle to think of many others that match that game's quality...

My biggest gift was a flatscreen TV for my new apartment. It's quite nice! Otherwise, my family tends to get a lot of smaller "giggler" gifts for each other, which I'm not a fan of... but maybe I can find someone who needs alligator clips or a...

Syrup naturally has the edge from being in multiple games, but even disregarding that I still think she's the best. She's a great subversion of the "damsel in distress" trope that Princess Peach was synonymous with at the time, being the first...

Also, I forgot to ask this earlier, but I noticed only one of the Crazy Galaxy girls missing in action here... is Anna involved in this?

Ah I understand now. Rejecting conventions would be fitting for a game starring unconventional characters like this, just not sure if a modern game design studio would be brave enough to design a story like that... but it is very imaginative and...

That was very intentional! There's an intentional rejection of a lot of modern storytelling conventions here. Recently I watched the british murder mystery series Midsomer Murders and when the original actor wanted out after 13 seasons, his...

Finally got Rivals of Aether for the holidays. I don't gel with most fighting games, but when I'm playing as Hotel Mario and thinking up characters to design and add to the workshop myself, it's hard to get heated over!

As a native german speaker I've often liked to compare how games fare in terms of german and english and how they vary in how they are translated and as it turns out, the modern WarioWare games are some particularly noticable examples of it, as I...

I mostly prefer the less abrasive Wario as well. I think him being greedy and selfish is still integral to his character, but seeing that he actually enjoyed the adventure when it came to finding the Luxeville pot is very sweet. I always found...

This is a real cool concept!! I love the idea of an Ashley/Waluigi game pulling from other Mario series; makes it feel appropiately campy for characters that are from spinoffs, and tight action with snappy writing to fill in blanks as you...

This is my idea for a video game starring Ashley 'n' pals. It is half-formed, Mario and the Music Box-level of uncharacteristic, and self-indulgent. I do not have the skills, means, or drive to make it real. You could call it a fantasy...
