I don't think Oogtar would make it past SMW... but then when the Sunshine adaptation rolls around we'd get a character that basically amounts to "Pianta Oogtar".
Yoshi you insensitive horse. That fishing pole is a part of his body, part of what makes him that particular species of Lakitu. If you tried to take it from him he'd probably die or something.
...what's that? It's the camera you're objecting to, and not the fishing pole? Well he has to hang...
It's kind of weird to think that with Banjo and Kazooie's addition, Shovel Knight's now crossed over with them and their would-be successors Yooka and Laylee. I can easily imagine SK losing track of all his guest appearances and wondering where he's seen the two before, and/or what the...
Oh no, I think I'm sliding back and forth between the "It's a WAnderful Life" timeline again. You know, the one where "Wario" is just a fanon name for one of the background characters in the Super Show episode Plumber's Academy, and Tatanga was the final boss of both Mario Land games and the...
Re: The Sonic General Thread (Team Sonic Racing Comes Out May 21st)
If only they were that logical. One surprisingly common complaint I've seen about Shadow the Hedgehog is "it came out close to Sonic 06". Dead serious.
The ideal way to experience Sonic 3 is to get it on Steam and then get...
Re: The Sonic General Thread (Team Sonic Racing Comes Out May 21st)
In a way I'm glad you posted that because I was wondering if I was exaggerating or being too harsh with mine. But of course not, because here you are proving my point. And also taking an Onion-style satire article completely...
Re: The Sonic General Thread (Team Sonic Racing Comes Out May 21st)
They're wasting their time. The fans will always find something to whine about. Even if they actually managed to satisfy them somehow, do the fans really deserve it? It's like they've got Sega locked in their basement, forced...
Since our last debate, I have found definitive proof that Jumpman is an entirely separate character from Mario. But after looking over all the evidence, I still don't see what's so Italian about him:
It's a little thing called different species not having the exact same lifespans.
Except by that game they'd officially settled on calling him Mario.
I can't help you there. Maybe this more recent picture of Jumpman will ring a bell?
I am ready to marathon.
I am "plan it all out on a spreadsheet half a month earlier" levels of ready to marathon.
Some of y'all did this last year but this is clearly the time peeps should be ready to marathon.
Archie handled Mega Man just fine. The problem with their Sonic series was that, because it was almost as old as the franchise itself, it had amassed so much convoluted fanfiction nonsense that not even a reboot could flush out. There are all kinds of reasons that wouldn't happen with Mario.
On Doom in particular, the co-creator has this to say about folks who pirate Doom. (not to be confused with folks like me who Pirate Doom)
But Doom's a bad example because even with that in mind it's still more than worth its current price on Gog.
Wait a minute. If Mr. Game & Watch basically turns into Stanley for the bug spray attack, couldn't the Stanley battle have been against a G&W favoring that move? And on that same train of thought, why doesn't G&W turn into Donkey Kong Jr. when using the key attack?
Tamagon's a big one for me. Everything about him makes it clear that he was a predecessor to Yoshi, right down to them making the exact same sound when they hatch. So why did they use tiny Ridley instead? Also, it's kind of a shame they didn't have the 3DS Pac-Man stage to use for the battle...
The unused scientist from DOS 3 who presumably made CRORQ or something along those lines. My fanon name for him is Kevin Rozner.
X's mermaid girlfriend, Marty

oh and I almost forgot, the professor from Network Transmission, who seems to be the only one who realizes that a world...
We could have had a two phase battle against Eggman or Wily, with the first being them in a big machine and the second having them take a more evasive approach in the Eggmobile/Wily Capsule. When I put it that way it does sound like it'd be redundant to have both of them, but there's probably a...
How did I not think of Eggman as an echo for Bowser Junior. I think I did but quickly dismissed it but come on past me consider this:
His version of the cannonball would have the same pattern as the Sonic 1 wrecking ball.
For the side special the Eggmobile gains those monster truck wheels from...
Half-Life's 20th anniversary wasn't that long ago, but now it's already time for another milestone! Today we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the game that took what made Wolf3D great up to eleven and changed everything. More weapons! More monsters! More gore! A handy map to help you navigate...
Football Charlies just have so much potential for roles in non-platformers and this would be one of them.
Then there's the boxing sharks from SLM2 that I'm always looking for an excuse to bring up, who could maybe stand on its tail like Johnny Jones if just moving on land the way Sushie does...
I think I read somewhere that they're not that interested in the FPS genre. I checked the "Americans Hate Tingle" page on TV Tropes, and while I don't think it's the exact text on the exact page that I remember, it should give a good enough idea:
Despite that I still feel like there's merit in...
It's funny that you chose this name for the thread, because the original referred to Sonic and Earthworm Jim, and I was just considering the latter yesterday. Udderly Abducted from Jim 2 would have made a good stage to represent the series, with all kinds of wacky things incorporated like...
Bongos, whatever. Donkey Kong's new Final Smash is the best thing to ever happen to his moveset because it's from Jungle Beat and that game (particularly the parts they based the move on) is DK at his absolute best.
Since it seems we have Geno, I'm sort of hoping now he'll be an echo of Mega Man. It could totally work check it out:
Instead of uncharged buster shots, he shoots his fingertips.
Instead of Metal Blade, he does Geno Whirl.
Instead of Crash Bombs, he shoots his whole fist.
Instead of Leaf...
