I've known two people who were really into Charlie Kirk. They liked him I guess because he said all the same racist stuff they did, but he wouldn't use slurs like them, so to them he sounded amazingly civil and well educated. That's about the level you have to be at.

There are a lot of people who have given up on anything good ever happening ever again, their only hope is that their perceived enemies suffer.

I still have my old Wii hooked up, with Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Mario Galaxy on regular rotation.

Because we all know that the Wii version of Twilight Princess is the finest Zelda game ever made. That's not opinion, it's a simple fact.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They flipped the entire game to gaslight me that Link is right-handed. I am not sure a worse Zelda game exists on the basis of pure malice.

I'm left handed and felt betrayed

Weird way to spell Wind Waker but that’s alright

It's not how I write Ocarina of Time at all but different strokes for different folks.

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

Little typo, did you mean A Link to the Past?

Including or not including goomba violence?

Donkey Kong was basically an odyssey sequel, fwiw

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

If you look at the credits, the new Donky Kong and Mario Odyssey have a lot of the same people.

Nintendo sorry y'all Nintendo forgets how to make video games every other console generation, so it'll be another 8 years before they remember how

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

Too busy making shitty mobile games and remakes

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

The Mario Odyssey team made the new Donkey Kong, so expect another 6-8 years before a 3D Mario.

[–] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

They got luigi and mario didnt want to appear again out of respect

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

I think the next 3D Mario will be open world. Bowser's Fury was probably testing the waters.

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

16 years since the last Monster Rancher game...

Does Bowser's Fury not count?

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Speedrunners don't play it as much

Bowser's Fury 52 1032 8914
Super Mario Odyssey 127 5209 23090
Super Mario Sunshine 53 2010 12934

Clearly the sexual archetype of Fastest Mario (Bowser's Fury) has not done well in the marketplace, so communists (speedrunners) have abandoned it.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Extremely hot take here I know but I don't want more Odyssey either. I actually really liked 3d world and would love a more traditional 3d mario. Maybe not quite as traditional as that, but something like Wonder/Galaxy maybe. Did love 3d world though. Mostly because there's a ton of content and "post game" worlds. I didn't really get into Odyssey.

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

I agree that 3D World was pretty great, though I did like Odyssey as well.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

hot take: mario before yoshi's island > mario during and after yoshi's island
