I'm hoping for Dragon Quest 3 remake news.

WHY BONER NOW posted:

Mother 3 has some pretty heavy story stuff going on, doesn't it? I've been meaning to play it for years now, just never gotten around to it. I thought there was some touchy subject matter that wouldn't translate well or something?

I believe there were characters that were...rather dated stereotypes of trans women, but I could be mis-remembering.

Quick edit: here we go.

I've never played Earthbound but I just looked up some ads and it sounds like it's mostly about farts and grossout humor? Seems pretty childish tbh, glad Nintendo never bothered translating the sequel.

if earthbound was a good game then it would have sold a million copies on the snes... but it didnt. and i do not believe that nintendo, the greatest company in the world, could be bad at advertising...

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. "The first role-playing game with B.O."? This is clearly not worth playing.

It's been a while since I've played so I'm not sure if there's any specific objectionable content, but just with the overall concept of the Magypsy themselves I've come around from thinking it was something that Nintendo would be embarrassed of and try to shy away from to something that would be celebrated in today's social climate.

Then again we've only had the fan translation so maybe it was worse than that.

Cheating helped me fail the test and stay on the show.
It kinda boggles my mind that Sakurai doesn't put some more characters from obscure franchises in as fighters to increase interest in those franchises for Nintendo, like Custom Robo or Sin and Punishment. I would have liked to see Takeru from Mysterious Murasame Castle or Lip from Panel de Pon in, and I guarantee that those characters would gain a huge boost in popularity like the Earthbound and Fire Emblem franchises have

On the other hand, Kid Icarus Uprising. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I feel like that was the big test for rebooting older franchises and I don’t think it was successful to the level Nintendo wanted

I'd buy it again if it meant playing it on a console in a way that wouldn't destroy my fuckin' hands.

Shouldve just said Chrono Trigger. That's at least mildly likely. No way Square wouldn't sell them separately for more money.

I don’t think a very substantial number of people but games based on who is in smash.

In fact I think it’s the opposite, they add characters to squeeze a little more sales out for smash

You can't deny the smash brothers effect on fire emblem getting accepted/popular in the west. Esp with how many people ask about whether marth and roy are in this game etc. But yeah not sure if it really worked with any other franchise
