No Accounting for Taste This cartoon was published on January 2025. I wanted to do a cartoon involving the Yoshi series, since I haven't done so back then. I thought about the possibility that Yoshi can't actually eat certain objects, which is what the cartoon is going to be about. In Super...

New Super Luigi U is indeed an expansion game. While there is a standalone game for it (at a far lower price, given it's treated as priced similarly to an expansion). This is not like NES Remix Pack where it's a true compilation and you select the game from the menu, since New Super Luigi U is...

I view it as a similar deal as that Wii U version of New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U, which is basically the complete edition of the game for the console that it's released on. With that said, if they do port New Super Mario Bros. 2 (either as New Super Mario Bros. 2 Deluxe or New...

Some thoughts about it. But before that, I just want to express my concerns with the film before I got to that point. Anyway, now the thoughts... While the majority might have preferred the films to play straight to their source material, I like that the films wanted to do something...

I found New Super Mario Bros. U and its companion game New Super Luigi U to be competently made, and I have had a good with with both. Because of that, I have zero reason to get the rerelease since none of its changes are something that would inspire me to get it. The only thing is I wish that...

Mainly the one Player 2 controls, like in Super Mario Galaxy 2. I guess a case on how Mario is not alone could be made for Super Mario Galaxy 1, although this case is superseded by the fact that Luigi is playable in that game. Thank you for reading.

One of the things I would like to see return from Super Mario 64 is the idea that Mario is solely the playable character again. In later games, Mario is either: (1) aided by a different character like FLUDD or Co-Star Luma, (2) is not the only playable character like in Super Mario Galaxy or...

To start this thread with a bang, it's time to post my commentary on a community that's came to pass. I posted about the Challenges before, so this time, I will post about the actual Rounds that involve the time limit. Scribble Circuit - winstein Edition This is it, the fifth year of Scribbles...

I also thought Mario Golf: Super Rush is a nice change of pace from the other Mario Golf games. It's basically that series game that is outlier, such as Wario Land 3. I think it's quite cool that the players can run around the golf course, even though it is pretty limited in how much they can...

Occasionally I compared Rosalina to Knuckles, where their background is tied to a specific setting but because they are popular enough, they keep appearing in situations that are not tied to the places they are strongly associated with. They even appear in games that are considered pinnacles to...

Neither option would be ideal, but if the names that came from gaming websites were used, IGN's Yvan and Wolley are better for being simple names, as opposed to Destructoid's Bucken-Berry and Ala-Gold due to the complexity of the names, though I suspect the unusual nature of the names are why...

I am going to make a prediction here and say that Baby Bowser is also going to show up... as a Bowser Jr. alt. This stems from how unique characters are playable despite being alternate versions of existing ones, namely Lumalee being there. This is the kind of plot that can justify both Baby...

Yes, that's right. That was my mistake. Thank you for reading.

Nintendo is not obligated to do it, and by all accounts they were pretty much done with the game after it's released, but I would've liked there to be a Mario Kart 7 Deluxe in which the game is made with more time where it is more fully-featured. Of all the Mario Kart games, this one felt the...
