Look on the bright side.



It makes me happy that Sakurai probably added Guile as an assist cause he is his SF main.

Just dont. Why are you wasting your time on an hour long bossrush in a game where combat is moderately more engaging than Joust?

Finally beat it after a solid hour trying. Hollowknight is the best game I've played in years.

So was radiance what made all the bugs sentient?

I never knew until recently Sakurai was really good at SF2 and fighting games in general. Apparently in a column he wrote he told Melee players "just play a real fighting game like Virtua Fighter 2" lol

Minor sidenote, but I love that they specifically made it so Ryu can be controlled with optional quarter-circle Street Fighter 2 inputs :allears:.

Yeah, this is pretty :yikes:. What the gently caress is wrong with the people at Nintendo!? Like there was a later version of the game being referenced that replaced the enemies with generic bandits, so there's absolutely no excuse here!

They're Japanese and don't realize it's considered offensive? It might get changed with a patch cause I think it's too late in the cycle to do anything now.

Also this wasn't this first time this sort of poo poo has happened either. I don't think ignorance works as an excuse here.

Wait, so is the content in Smash racist, or is it just a reference to an old game that incidentally also had racist content?

Because I mean poo poo you can't reference Bugs Bunny if that's your standard.

Japanese culture has a large tendency to copy imagery from American media without the cultural context necessary to understand why certain imagery is now considered offensive. Unlike Americans, who have that cultural context but are merely too lazy and entitled to give a poo poo.

Likely outside of the context in which the original led "sprite" appeared, people in QA or localization didn't realize what they were looking at and their number one question was "Why is MGAW hanging dong?"

Wait wait wait they took the previous move (which was just G&W with a torch) and added a feather and loincloth?

The gently caress were they thinking?

They have itchy trigger fingers over there. I get the impulse to just throw the banhammer when someone says something stupid but I think they should at least get something explained to them first and then see if they are still idiots or repeated idiots in multiple topics before flipping the switch

This whole thing feels really attention grabby to me. Like this is the hill you want to die on? THIS is what draws the line?
That said. 100% white male here. So I can only speak for myself because I obviously lack the necessary perspective. And if this is bothering people. Just change it. It seriously cannot take much effort to get rid of a feather. Especially since this is Game&Watch.

It's a bit of a catch 22 though.
Change it now and you'll have an equally loud group of people yelling about censorship. So a dumb 2 frame animation will land Nintendo in hot water regardless of the outcome. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

Change it, but have a 1 in 65535 chance of showing the feather version.

It's a really easy change cause you just have to change the meshes on the animation, and the E3 build was using the Smash 4 mesh anyway

Diablo 3 is the sort of game my wife and I will excitedly binge on for like two weeks, then completely lose interest, then 4-5 months later one of us will say "hey, we haven't played Diablo in a while!" and binge for another two weeks. Having a couch co-op version sounds really nice, so we'll probably get it on Switch when the cycle repeats itself.

That’s exactly what season journeys are for.

This is not a catch 22. If it's not changed, Native Americans and people who sympathize with them will be upset at the insensitive depiction in the Ultimate welcoming happy fun time game. If it's changed, racists and ignorant people will be angry for dumb reasons and that is fine, if not actually a good thing because the ignorant folks might learn something in the end and the racists are terrible and deserve to be unhappy.

Maybe people in the American division did see it but they are all super loving racist so they let it through.

Kinda makes you think about the operation Nintendo is really running over there.
