The WarioWare game looks like the exact same thing as 80% percent of its series and is pretty much just a retread of the Wii game.

I'd like to clarify that I don't find fault with a 2D Boo that takes after its 3D design. I think this stock graphic is quite lively and shares positive elements with the TTYD Boo: I'm moreso bothered by the way this concept was executed in Paper Mario, for reasons explained by Agent Muffin...

Demeanour and personality should be communicated through design alone. That's kind of the point of character design. These are pretty much what you'd expect to see on a typical character sheet--they're not too far removed from a T pose--and yet they already lend an impression on how they act...

On the topic of character designs, it seems like everyone is going crazy over a Toad NPC who wasn't in the original version. They take it as concrete evidence of the idea that Nintendo have fully eased their supposed Mario mandates. Even Yahoo Finances of all outlets reported on it. And my...

They're superior to PTSD-stare Hammer Bro and butt-eyebrows Boo from the 2010s Paper Marios, so I welcome this design decision. :3

Toss-up between BCP Wave 6 and TTYD, but I think my partiality for the former might just edge out the latter because Funky Kong is an apotheotic being.

happy beyond words!

Yes, folks, this is true. The last announcement of the September 2023 Nintendo Direct is that TTYD is being remade for the Switch. The original gameplay is there, along with the beloved characters and expressive enemy designs, in squeaky-clean graphical fidelity! Paper Mario is back!

those primate-hatin' folks at Nintendo better at least put Diddy in 8 Deluxe. just a morsel of acknowledgement to DK fans. i'm not even holding out hope for Funky anymore, and unfortunately i don't think they'd go through the effort of designing a bike suit for Pauline if she were considered for...

Edit:

It's not uncommon to see people saying that Martinet "retired" from his Mario roles. I myself phrased it this way on the wiki, including the front page news. Thing is, neither the original announcement (twitter.com) nor Doug Bowser's statements (ign.com) speak of any "retirement". That would...

exciting as though that would be, it still sounds like more of a mario game than a dk one :( unless it involves warfare between the mushroom kingdom and dk isle. a game where you pick a side and have to conquer the other on land or in air battles. bowser and k rool would be forced to side with...

That Pyoro leaker recently teased a Donkey Kong-related announcement. I grew excited... ...only for them to specify it has Mini Marios in it. Jesus Christ, was Mario vs. DK ever really that popular? I liked the games, even the Lemmings-like ones, but I'd never put them before a DK platformer.

Which Mario character/enemy is this?

What is it with Nintendo fanboys hucking the word "entitled" at anyone who has even a single negative thing to say about a corporation's products

On the contrary, you're advised to play the stage with the submarine gone if you want to get 100 coins or more. http://www.sm64.com/courses/course9.html "Also, because you need the poles to get some of the red coins, you must first beat the second Bowser before you can get all 106. (Recently...

Yes--not with his body, but with his debilitating fatalism.

Shitty Did You Know Gaming: Whomps appear as obstacles on the course Berlin Byways in Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This is a subtle nod to Bernd das Brot, the mascot of popular German kids' TV channel, KiKA.

these designs are cool as hell.

ouch...

the original, unedited version of that Victim #1 pic from the MARIO creepypasta has been found. it's a photo of a person cosplaying the singer of a japanese metal band. i have vivid memories of scrolling through that creepypasta when i was 10 or 11 and a fraction of a second later jumping and...

Ray Trace, I need to fess up to my sins. Baby Luigi is currently the only baby character in Mario Kart Tour whose level I didn't max out. If I were to repent now, would the process be less agonising with the knowledge that Baby Mario was the first of the bunch to get this treatment?

That period of time was when Nintendo were aggressively shoving shit like patronising narration and children playing with cutesy toys in their trailers and ads, and they were convinced these formed a genius marketing tactic that would put their products on the map: The Mario Wonder Direct was...

Canon evidence that none of them watched the Super Mario Bros Super Show. (youtube.com) I know, this sounds like a joke Twitter would run into the ground 1 billion times.

Now that they've shown more, I can say that it sure is a Mario game. Be still my heart.

option 7. looking forward to snagging a copy of the game with all the DLC included when it's down to like 15 euros lol

In Romanian, when you wish someone to have fun, you tell them "pleasant fun!" ("distracție plăcută!") I've used this phrase all my life and never once thought, until a couple minutes ago, how redundant it sounds. How can fun be anything but pleasant? :koopa:

A Nintendo Direct focused on Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Airs 31 August at 7.00 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET and is "roughly 15 minutes"

"Femail" sounds like some early '00s lesbian dating site whose mascot is an anthropomorphic envelope with a ribbon and lipstick around the corner of the fold.

I want everyone here to admire this Morshu in the style of Zelda TOTK. source: Reddit (art by user lr31o)

I haven't kept up with the whole ID gap datamine thing in a while, but it seems plausible to believe that some some city courses are due to receive their third routes (Athens Dash 3, Rome Avanti 3, and Madrid Drive 3), not to mention that a majority of these city courses still don't have a...

And, in an unspeakably cruel twist of fate, it seems the new Madrid course gave us the antichrist himself instead. I'm getting my Holy Rifle!!!

I feel like even this has to be done on a case-by-case basis. There exists absolutely no reliable, explicit, academic source I could cite for this guy voicing Cranky Kong in the Romanian dub of the Mario movie (CineMagia.ro is analogous to IMDb, couldn't use that), but if you compare the...

i don't know about that peter cullen situation. if it's true that he recorded those iconic grunts and roars that happened to be used in mario media, i think that would still be a relevant tidbit to his article, just word it so it doesn't sound like he had active involvement in said media (and...

bowser being racist in front of a bunch of kids on live tv

It is canon fact that Mario only learned to speak Yoshi's language (if ever) after New Year 2016. source: this pic from Nintendo of America's social media, https://www.facebook.com/NintendoAmerica/photos/951329698284817

Petey Piranha finds a well-paying gig in Bangkok.

nintendo wants to patent the act of a character standing on a moving object.

no, BlueCatMenace is correct. i distinctly remember nintendo producing extremely gory shooters featuring luigi back in the '90s. heck, the first smash bros was basically a reskin of mortal kombat where mario tore link's spine out, did a little pirouette, and proudly displayed the spine to the...

A theory about the Mario movie

GamePad by a landslide.

The newly-added Green Birdo was given the fire flower special item. Unexpected Super Mario Bros. 2 reference!

in-universe, i see it as a Friend Group A and Friend Group B situation. basically wario has chemistry with both, but the groups themselves never go out of their way to interact with each other--i.e. waluigi may not be particularly interested in seeing people outside of the mushroom kingdom...
