    Mario Kart Tour

    大入=Big in=Want many people to come to this place 祭=Festival ----- To my curiosity, did this game think about advertising with very new characters within this year? The newest addition we got was Peachette. In this year we got LM3 and Origami King. It feels like Hellen and Olivia would be a...

    One-offs for next spinoff entry?

    I'm aware that the title and context have perfectly excluded Pauline from this topic. Well to be fair, Odyssey locates in the city where Pauline belongs to, so I cannot say "she doesn't represent Odyssey". Just this topic is also about promoting some new faces to this franchise. Yeah, either...

    One-offs for next spinoff entry?

    I'm now referring to cases like Nabbit (from NSMBU to MGWT) and Sprixie Princess (from SM3DW to MTO). May arguably count Honey Queen (from SMG to MK7) despite she appeared in two SMG titles. I feel like something is weirdly missing from recent spinoffs, and it shows that we don't have new...

    How to regard second rep for 3rd party series idea?

    I personally believe it's a matter of decision making. When making the decision you'd have to have a very clear vision about whether the next character is from 1st or 3rd party, a new or old series, what is the priorty. You'd definitely eliminate the other side of options when you already enter...

    How to regard second rep for 3rd party series idea?

    When people think Smash bros should provide chances to popular 3rd party characters whose franchises already nominate Smash bros, this always make me wonder how do the failed NIntendo allstars make the way out. To clarify, this example doesn't indicate specific comparison between certain...

    The Future of Mario & Sonic at the Olympics series

    If they won't change the roster again, sorry to fans who really like it, I'd be relieved to know that we won't have more M&S titles.

    Fighters Pass Vol. 2 predictions

    I mean, if different fighting styles can be ignored easily, Puch-Out would be the very prior choice that should do a fighter with seven alts.

    Fighters Pass Vol. 2 predictions

    Well we blame Nintendo, not just him, so there is no problem. I appreciate his work for Byleth, but that doesn't mean it can cease the argument about his/her timing of addition. Not saying that FE3H cannot be advertised. Question could be why some other recent stellar games don't get the...

    Fighters Pass Vol. 2 predictions

    Borrowing a statement from some other place, it'd be pointless to hide the fact they want to pick a cover boy with a guessing game, which just wastes fans time for waiting. Of course, I don't say this is a 100% proof they'd choose the first ever fighter that isn't a cover model. I don't think...

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars (rumored)

    Yeah, in early years Switch has been like recycling the short-lived WiiU games. Not saying it can't happen but maybe next console where it serves as the first Mario 3D & remaster there. For now I'd rather like to see a new SM3DW title with new theme&story. Maybe a Paper Mario Allstars game...

    Mario Kart Tour

    I mean, it's not like other Mario console titles don't have to raise their sales. So same inclusion can benefit them as well. I wouldn't agree "big is good". I see MK9 sure needs to have a bigger roster than MK8DX, I would think "quality" is what newcomers in Mario spinoffs often lack in past...

    Paper Mario: The Origami King

    I think the difference between Smash community and (Paper) Mario fanbase is that the latter sticks to just one universe and canon so that they understand it well, while the former consists of fanbases of different franchises and their opinions can hardly be organized. Such as "Waluigi should be...

    Mario Kart Tour

    At this point it's really hard to compare mobile apps to traditional console titles. If anything, what matters would be how many DLCs MK9 is willing to do. MK8/MK8DX loses simply because it didn't have long period of DLC plans. I guess we won't have costumes return in MK9 (depends on whether...

    Paper Mario: The Origami King

    I mean, just like M&L titles, these series continue because there are passionate core fans. It'd be nice to give some notable tributes to early titles and fanservice. The later PM titles, aside from new enemies and aids: are just a pure "typical Super Mario in a different artwork", that's a big...

    Mario Kart Tour

    According to the history (MK Arcade, Super Sluggers}, a Wario-themed event and course might not ensure any big new entry, so I don't give high hope. Well, I can endure Wario-Man costume which is just a little salt to the current situation. It'd be a really huge revolution for NIntendo to add...

    Mario Kart Tour

    I don't want to set high standard, but Dixie in MK is just as belated as Pauline. I'd wish both and KRool to be in MK 7 or 8. Newer games probably better work on very new additions like Nabbit or Hellen. Maybe Toadsworth's turn, if they don't mind to do costumy Toad...

    Paper Mario: The Origami King

    It'd be like Cappy from Odyssey, there is a clear reason why you're not allowed to transform into T-Rex when fighting against Bowser. I think recuriting bosses is possible only if they wouldn't be too OP, but just be as strong as regular partners with some special abilities. That reminds me...

    Paper Mario: The Origami King

    Yeah, the Japnese intro does say "farewell", which makes me think it won't be how the first two PM worked. Since we are accompanied by armies sometimes, I doubt we can call them anytime, that sounds very cheating. They're obvious exclusive to certain events.

    Paper Mario: The Origami King

    Problem is being reconizeable with unique design is objectively known as an advantage for a gaming character. The new bob-omb might have own personality, but wouldn't think NIntendo mean to pay as much effort as they did to Admiral Bobbery. After all, looking back to Odyssey, LM3 and SMM2...

    Paper Mario: The Origami King

    As far as I can tell, the game sort have some "partners" but they're in a more supporting state than "party member". Interesting in the promo they highlighted "the characters will have personalities" and the designs are pretty much out of populairty.... I know the game focus on the origami works...

    What should Waluigi's mainstream role be?

    Waluigi's lack of mainstream role has always been an issue. But what kind of role should he act if an opportunity occurs? Main player Example: Mario (New Super Mario Bros) I wouldn't really mind. But would still need some backstory if it wouldn't be as weird as Peach inviting Wario to her...

    Fighters Pass Vol. 2 predictions

    Not like this is the topic we should focus on. Not only it's objectively unlikely but also even if it is, it's just a matter of chance for all characters who must be doomed to miss it due to the limited number of fighter slots. I know this is Mario board but I still try to not be biased...

    LEGO Mario

    The whole set looks like the LEGO Games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Games) lineup that dedicates to board gameplay, and of course with more remote control techs. It looks kinda like a platform for expeiments over the traditional moneymilking minifigure lineup. Also if it doesn't require...

    Characters for a Lego Mario game

    Regardless of the news, if it's like any other LEGO game, it'd usually include most known characters from that franchise. example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sQdO2x198k My real question is whether NIntendo themselves is still the production team since Mario is a video game franchise, or...

    LEGO Mario

    For the revealed system, I think we can exclude it from the traditional minifigure line. It looks like an experimental idea for modern toys over a big lineup. Weirdly, the KNEX sets look more like what regular LEGO sets look like. Maybe LEGO would eventually do minifigure line after this after...

    LEGO Mario

    Problem is it seems like giving up promoting newer game titles like Odyssey and Luigi's Mansion which get more signature features and new designs that require new molds for toys. And given we don't really get featured Mario games every year, KNEX was supposed to have enough time to come up with...

    LEGO Mario

    The problem with K'Nex is the despite it ran for quite a time, the diversity of products isn't good enough. Such as the blind bag didn't devote to adding as many new characters from new platformers or Mario Kart racers as possible. Overrecycling is a huge letdown, and it deserves to go into...

    Couldn't Mario just drive to Bowser's castle to save the princess every time?

    Really look into all those landscapes, I doubt driving is an efficient way. It'd be just rally driving. Airships like Odyssey would probably be nice. Aside from that we might have to argue why weapons aren't used, seems like Gadd is always on vacation outside LM now.

    What characters would you like to see as DLC for Smash Bros?

    Occasionally heard Granblue as an option. I honestly think it's not bad to have modern mobile game rep, just it's sad it misses the great opportunity to put its console title on NIntendo plaform. Fate series seems to be the other very successful JRPG brand at this point, just not sure if...

    What characters would you like to see as DLC for Smash Bros?

    On this Mario board this seems to imply that all Mario games are underwhelming? You mean future Smash games or?

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    Its old topic now, like said, its not that Byleth isn't good as individual, but how Nintendo inserted him/her at this point is controversial if there are way more better ways and timing to do him/her, even if we don't talk about other Nintendo characters better or not.
  34. Dorayaki

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    I still think it's also a matter of order. It feels like even if Nintendo determines to add more pokemons and Mario characters in Smash 5, they could still had managed to do a better order and leave the fun for the last. Making the FP doesn't worth as much as people expect of make the hype down...
  35. Dorayaki

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    That speaks. I guess if Byleth was in an earlier re or just swap with Simon or Inklings, there wouldn't had been such a down slope.
  36. Dorayaki

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

    I do kinda wonder if Nintendo announced more DLCs just because they foresaw Byleyh could be an underwhelming and forcing pick. Anyway I don't hate s/he, but when there are still a great selection of Nintendo characters from less presented franchises such as Pyra and Spring Man, the choice of...

    Do you consider Yoshi to be a major Mario spin-off or its own game series?

    If we don't consider it an official franchsie, I'm okay if it just be a prequel story that tells more about the childhood of Mario cast. However it feels like recent Yoshi games doesn't really want to dig into the past of Mario cast, especially Baby Daisy is still not in the canon of Yoshi games...

    Some series that need to come back

    > Wario Land > Waluigi While I'm fine with this idea and do question why Waluigi wasn't considered in the last WL game, the issue of lack of Waluigi's mainstream spotlights also work for other Warioware titles and Mario games like Luigi's Mansion. So the return of WL isn't just for Waluigi's...

    Does Smash bros entry benefit the characters afterward?

    While the topic can also be for all Smash franchises in general, I think there is a difference between Mario-verse ones and others: 1) 3rd party franchises game plans are decided by 3rd party of course, so even if NIntendo can invite them to Smash bros, they cannot do anything for them outside...
  40. Dorayaki

    Does Smash bros entry benefit the characters afterward?

    Yes, though it has Smash in the title, it's a topic for Mario board. I came across several Smash discussion and find the bandwagon that "some characters didn't even deserve to be Smash fighters!" or "my wanted characters can make it if those insignificant characters can!". Sure, it'd be nice to...

    Waluigi

    The references directly from Wario games are legit, tho. Besides don't forget we have other Wario characters on hand for Smash nomination.
  42. Dorayaki

    Waluigi

    Offcially Wario isn't in the same group with Waluigi under Smash bros classification, so Waluigi would only work with the others. If you also count Yoshi that's a no too. And frankly, I think this is pretty much a typical Mario series fan opinion who want more than nine fighters in Smash bros.
  43. Dorayaki

    What are people's thoughs on Shrek in Smash?

    The most realistic part is how to make the contracts work equally. In current Smash bros, the 3rd party game companies are willing to make benefit transfer with Nintendo since Nintendo can dominate the partnership via their consoles. But outside that, with any comic/cartoon/novel workers or...

    Do you support multiple fighters from the same 3rd party franchise?

    Yeah, I believe that is the core of the problem. Putting multiple fighters isn;t the most beneficial option. I think the next game better try to focus on a newer generation of existed franchises so that it wouldn't bother too much. Maybe a new FF and Persona protagonist from the newest title...
  45. Dorayaki

    Waluigi

    For fighters, would prefer him to plant piranha for sure. Let's see if he can make it in Smash 6. To me he either fits in a playable role or just being absent, since making him a npc on stage could be kinda disturbing.

    Super Mario Odyssey 2

    For general Mario platformers, it feels like the next one would be a new traditional New Super Mario bros title in 2D or 3D. It'd be better to change a theme and go into another original story. Odyssey made some innovative moves in comparison with previous Super Mario games, but if we stick to...

    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 DLC Characters

    While the roster is frustrating, it doesn't feel like the companies would do more with DLCs, since the companies seem to be very determinate. If there is even a chance, I don't feel great chance in the current guest players. From respetive series my pick would be Cream and KRool. While I agree...

    Do you support multiple fighters from the same 3rd party franchise?

    *In case you ask, of course not counting alts and echos I've been hearing suggestions about inserting more Sonic, Street Fighters and Final Fantasy characters within the same game. Just I'm very aware that such suggestion is still controversial and not well-acepted now, at least it hasn't been...

    Come the time a next Smash game comes about, which playable fighter(s) are the most likely to get cut?

    I think this part specifically means top the amount of contents since everyone theme is literally super hard mode for the game team. If they decide to reboot the game, the new contents would not be more than the cut contents, the so total amount of contents in Smash 6 won't win over Smash 5...

    Would Hellen be a good pick for Mario main cast?

    I wouldn't be surprised to see her given one spinoff playable appearance just to promote Luigi's Mansion 3 (happened to Honey Queen & Princess Sprixie in respective period), but does she has the chance for any further participation? And is she objectively a good addition? Her advantages might...
