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...
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...
I would say it's okay, but most of the additions don't feel necessary. If you are interested in the game at all I'd say checking out the original freeware version is the best first step; it's available on the tribute site for multiple platforms...
The true answer is Princess Peach. She never declared war on Syrup for such a bold act of stealing her statue!
In all seriousness why I titled myself that, it's because I think the world is large enough that there is likely someone out there who...
