Common misconception that; that fun is relaxing. If it is, you're not doing it right.
Managed a 4th place finish in F-Zero 99 (I am not that good at racing games) which I assume I will never top once everyone figures out the meta or whatever.

For the record I’m not saying that you get rid of the wahoos and one liners. I’m just saying give them the opportunity to be more sometimes in the same way Disney’s staples sometimes get to star in something like DuckTales or A Goofy Movie.

Someone like Vivian actually being recurring would give them trans rep in the cast too.

Because they’re good and it’s give us more Mario characters who are fleshed out. You don’t see the value in this franchise having characters that do more than go “wahoo!” and “Hi, I’m Daisy!” or just cackling as they cast a magic spell?

Yeah no dude, some of us actually liked the new Mario movie.

I don't care if they come back; in fact, the more unique characters Nintendo can add, the better.

while i would love to see some Paper Mario homies return, i think the franchise has got its fair share of recurring characters already and if them being locked to their respective games makes them feel more unique and give the PM games the charm of feeling like a different world and different adventure, so be it

My issue with the older Paper Mario games is that all the characterization was focused on completely new characters. Like Bowser and Peach got focus but why is Kammy Koopa there when she’s basically Kamek only there are jokes about how she’s an old woman. The RPG format gives us a great chance to flesh out the Mario characters beyond their Archetypal Personalities in the main games and party and sports titles, but PM was more concerned with OCs.

that’s a stupid issue

The “OCs” are fun because they make the Mario world feel bigger and more varied than the dozen or so characters that always show up to play golf together and it gives a sense of adventure

Oh I’m fine. Just headed towards cold weather, scouts is starting back up, and I have a years long backlog. I put something like 100 hours into Pokémon arceus when it came out and lost my game save when I got my oled switch. Lost my animal crossing island twice, etc. I still need to finish fallout 4 which is the reason I bought my Xbox one in early 2018 and I haven’t put meaningful hours in since 2020.

Thanks and thanks to everyone else for their kind words! But now I'm particularly embarrassed because I just realized they're typed "reaction" videos and oh my god, was I the Video Game youtuber all along?!
(I'm glad it helps. I actually go back to them myself to see what I should wishlist for future purchase, right now it's Trombone Champ and I'm considering Paper Mario or the other JRPGs).

Get your rear end a copy of Suikoden 2 asap (and then buy the 1&2 remake when they come out next year). Suikoden 2 is hands down one of the best RPGs of the 90s and has one of the best RPG villains period.

Playing Suikoden 1 will give some backstory for 2 (and let you carry a few things over from 1 to 2) but isn't necessary to play, though it is still pretty good for an early PSX RPG but has plenty of early RPG jank. It's also not too terribly difficult because the MC is extremely OP.

Seems like Konami is planning a remaster so maybe I can actually do that. I love old JRPGs. They just take time. I've been good about not building a back log but TotK killed that for me. I still have Omori to finish. I'll get there.

Hey, thanks for the effort post.
I would still recommend playing Luigi ghost buster on the 3ds. It's one of a handful of games where I've been grateful for the 3d effect. Don't regret that purchase.

Did I read that correct, they made a multiplayer f-zero?

Yeah. A battle royale. I haven't tried it but you race with 99 others. It's the SNES version of the game so it lacks some of the speed feel of the 3D games, but it's still very stylish. My only regret is the 4 car choice.

It's a port of the original Luigi's Mansion 2, which released at the end of the 3DS' lifetime and also was kinda mid according to people.

also don't joke, they're capable of making a Luigi's Mansion 1 HD port (even if that would be more welcome)

Unlocking decals and different colours and whatnot helps add to the variation. I get your point (literally the 2nd F-Zero game went from 4 vehicles to what.... 30?), but eventually, you'll be seeing more and more variations zooming around as other people unlock stuff I assume.
