Title: The Fat Plumber Thread
Post by: Orta on February 24, 2010, 03:46:43 pm
So, Nintendo Media Summit where a lot of nothing was announced. They did show a new trailer of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ninte ... ario/62270 (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/nintendo-media-super-mario/62270)

I honestly think it looks a lot better than the first one, level-wise.

I'm actually pretty impressed that Galaxy 2 is coming out in May.  Followed closely by Sin and Punishment 2 and Metroid: Other M the next month.

I'm really excited for all of these games and thought that I'd be waiting until the holiday season for a couple of them.
Now the big question is: what the hell does Nintendo have planned for the holidays.  Maybe Zelda is actually going to come out this year.

I don't know though. Last time they blew their wad on the big titles (Zelda, Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros.) all pretty close to launch, they followed it up with Animal Crossing and Wii Music for the following Christmas.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for that not happening again.

I never clicked with Mario games but I do enjoy 1-3 and Super Mario World. I tried Mario 64 and never understood what was so appealing about it. I have also been playing Super Mario Galaxy 1 on my Wii recently. It's alright, but it would work fine with just a regular controller setup. I'd probably appreciate it more if I only had one game system.

Good to see a sequel is being released. A lot of people seemed to have enjoyed the first a lot.

I am a huge fan of Super Mario 64, but did not like Super Mario Galaxy much at all. This looks heaps better from what we have seen so far, and the release date is shocking in a good way!

I hope this does not mean the next console Zelda game is not coming out this year like they said... I mean, I doubt it, but like, crap, DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN THE LEGEND OF ZELDA AND HALO REACH! DON'T!
Title: Re: The Fat Plumber Thread
Post by: Orta on February 25, 2010, 03:32:57 pm
It all comes down to the amount of same old shit you want, Sanus. Reach seems to have new stuff in it but not to the point of being impressive. To me it seems it'll be another game for the fans like ODST was. Zelda will be the usual find your weapons, find Triforce, save princess scheme. I guarantee you that. By that account, Reach wins, Zelda has been done a lot more times.

The Legend of Zelda is like, my favorite franchise not made by SEGA though! Well, it will probably have Wii MotionPlus functions, so I guess that drops my interest in it a lot.

Either way, I would be completely shocked if the new Zelda came out this year. I mean, we never even saw a screenshot yet!

Based on ODST I won't even look at reach, and I really enjoyed the singleplayer for halo 3.
If zelda does come out this year then this will be an even better line up than the first year of the wiis release.

What makes you think Reach will be more like ODST than Halo 3? ODST was quite a departure for the series, I don't think they would be following that formula again.

As a Sega fan who rarely follows Nintendo happenings, how did fans react to Super Mario Sunshine? Did they smile and cheer on Miyamoto for making a disappointing Mario game, or did they act like Sonic fans and have a moaning party?

Surly this got the Mario fans close to complaining?

[youtube:1z1dyaku]FevEajjTFxs[/youtube:1z1dyaku]

Having recently purchased a GBA SP, I took a look at the Mario Advance series and was shocked to find that they were simply ports of Super Nintendo games. Sure, they were quality ports, but take a look at Sonic's GBA platformer offerings. At least Sonic tried to offer something new.

If it sounds like I'm having a moan about Mario, I am because that plumber needs to be taken down a few notches.

Oh, and SASAR is better than MKWii.
Title: Re: The Fat Plumber Thread
Post by: Monkeroony on February 26, 2010, 04:14:19 pm
Sasar is a lot better than all the 3d mariokarts, I only wish there was 2 player on the cup maches.

I think it was probably well recieved at the time but slated later.
Title: Re: The Fat Plumber Thread
Post by: crackdude on February 26, 2010, 07:04:31 pm
Nintendo has the most fans all over the world. As a majority, they live in their own world where everything they do is "standard" hence "good".

Of course it is all bullshit. Truth is that if there had been a Mario Unleashed reviews would have claimed the wereplumber is a "nice change of pace" and the story as "unbelievably fitting" praising the daytime levels for "great sense of self-satisfaction" and the night levels for "meticulous level design".
132/10!!1!!

So Mario fans never complain about shit. Even if their games turn out to be disappointing, like Sunshine..

GamesRadar hops on the hate wagon:
http://www.gamesradar.com/f/5-reasons-t ... 1547766005 (http://www.gamesradar.com/f/5-reasons-to-hate-mario/a-20100326161547766005)

Best point:
Since 1998 the guy has thrown himself TEN lazy ass mini-game shindigs, leaving him too tuckered to star in more than THREE actual Mario games… And that’s counting New Super Mario Bros.

Between 1998 and now: Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Now look at Sonic between 1998 and now: Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Unleashed

Alright, so Mario makes 3 main series games in 12 years time, while Sonic gives us 5 (6 including Shadow). I'd argue that 1 of the 3 Mario games are great (Galaxy) while 4 of the 6 Sonic games are good to great (SA1&2 are great, Heroes and Unleashed are good).

People may talk shit about Sonic, but at least Sega tries to put out main series games at a more steady pace (1 every 2 years compared to Mario's 1 every 4 years).
Title: Re: The Fat Plumber Thread

Title: Re: The Fat Plumber Thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on March 29, 2010, 01:57:29 pm
Random rant:

I'd hesitate to call Galaxy a Mario game. Well, at least in the sense that a "Mario game" is what was defined in 1985. In my opinion, when a 2D game shifts to 3D it is more in line with being an adaptation or a 3D approximation than a direct sequel. One can't honestly say that Mario 64 plays the same as Super Mario World. Same goes for Sonic Adventure compared to Sonic '91.

And screw Kart and any other spin-off. In the end they aren't Mario games. I think Nintendoids forget that it is the GAMEPLAY that makes the game, not the character. To say Mario has had a load of great games in the past ten years is horse shit (or whore's shit). A more accurate statement would be that Nintendo has had a load of successful games with Mario's face plastered to them, and some were fun and some weren't.

Same applies to Sonic fans who call SASAR "Sonic's best game in years". Erm... since when did a Sonic game = kart racing? It's an excellent game, but it ain't no Sonic.

Also, according to wikipedia, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is considered a "main series" Mario game. Whats up with that? Shouldn't it be lumped with the handheld games?
Title: Re: The Fat Plumber Thread
Post by: Sega Uranus on April 06, 2010, 06:28:06 pm
Fuck I hate Nintendo sometimes.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is $50 in my region, and comes out late next month, but at the moment it has a $20 preorder credit bonus. That is a great deal and all, but judging that they never fucking lower the price of their games that sell means you have to get the game the second it is released with a special deal or else wait six years for it to go down in price. Seriously, Twilight Princess is still full price every place I have seen. Though, I have owned that for awhile now anyways, so whatever.

What about games that do not sell? They go down in price a bit, sure, but not enough for it to really matter. What is worse is with the case of games like Pikmin Play for Wii and ExciteBots: Trick Racing, they just stop making copies of the games instead of just dropping the price more, so then the prices go up way more because they become rare collectors items.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Interview

Quote
Ohashi : "I had heard that we had been in talks with Nintendo for a while about doing something with Sonic and Mario.
Then Sega acquired the license for the Olympic Games, and we were told to progress with a project for putting the three together.
When talk of the project came my way, I wondered how I could present it to Nintendo.
To start off, we wrote a proposal and presented it to Nintendo, but (Shigeru) Miyamoto-san said he wanted to decide after seeing something with Mario and Sonic actually appearing in the Olympic games.
We were on pins and needles until it was decided. "

The Tokyo Olympics was meant to take place in July and August of this year but has now been pushed back to Summer 2021 due to the global pandemic.
As Abe is no longer in power, it'll be up to his successor, Yoshihide Suga, to don Mario's cap.

Quote
Back in the late '80s, Sega created the Sega Super Circuit, an arcade racing title where players controlled RC cars around a massive 80-metre race track, using a CCD video camera mounted on the vehicle.
Like Mario Kart Live, a lot of human interaction was required – the track had to be manned by paid operators who would have to line up the cars for each race.
These individuals were also called upon to supply live commentary for the on-track action.

I suppose there is no harm in video game golf since it's more for everyone and doesn't take up land.
And Mini-golf can be fun.

Let's not kid ourselves here - we all know what's sitting at number one on the list below of the best (and worst) kart racers on Nintendo Switch.
With a record like Schumacher in his prime, it's a wonder that any other racers bother to turn up to the track at all with a certain moustachioed plumber so far ahead of the pack.

There are flavours to suit every conceivable 2D platforming taste and plenty of room for debate about how they should be categorised.
We have separated out what we consider to be the best Metroidvania-style platformers onto another list, giving both collections more room to breathe without becoming ridiculously large.

Variety is the spice of life and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
The short story mode is all well and good, but it's the lighthearted multiplayer which makes this crossover appealing.
With 34 different events and a fabulous retro mode which is sure to get older gamers' juices flowing, it's a great family game which should get everyone in the mood for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo (now scheduled for Summer 2021, of course).

Yes, thanks to Tectoy SEGA Master System (& Mega Drive) which were sold very cheap in Brazil compared to other game system.
In 2016 Tectoy had sold 8 million units of Master System branded systems in Brazil and the number is always growing every year since even until now it's still officially on the market.

Everyone who has a kid in Brazil and want to buy a very first game system for them, the choice would be none other than Tectoy Master System.
And everybody who've played Master System which usually bundling with Sonic games included in the system, would always remember him and hold him dearly.

Not just Sonic branded Tectoy console, it has about 270 consoles of all generations that count 43 years of evolution,
including the Magnavox Odyssey (the first console) and Fairchild Channel F (first console to use game cartridges).

Post by: Mystic Monkey on March 14, 2022, 06:14:09 am
If you could script a movie adaption of Super Mario, what would be the rough premise would you have in mind?

Mine would be about the Mushroom Kingdom being depicted as a utopian kingdom where both humans and mushroom-folk live priviledged lives (the over-class citizens or overdwellers). But of course these clean streets and privileges need to be maintained and given no one wants to do the dirty work it's left to the literal underside of the city where the poor and the laborours (under-class citizens or underdwellers) live in slums built into the sewers and caverns under the city.

Mario and Luigi live in the undercity of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario wishes to live in the city above them and be more involved in activities such as sports, games, go karting and other social activities, all the while Luigi thinks these are just silly dreams.

Bowser also lives in the undercity but before becoming king of koopas he's trying to start a revolution for underdwellers rights to live in the city and willing t demolish the monarchy to assure that to happen. While Mario and Luigi agree that it would be nice if the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom were not divided by privileged-class to working-class they find Bowsers revolutionary ideas to radical to get involved.

When the plumbing in the royal castle gets messy, they assign Mario and Luigi to fix it. Mario and Lugii regard this a big and privilege jobs while the royal attendants rather the plumbers be kept out of sight, out of mind. But through circumstances Mario meets the kings daughter Princess Peach and strikes up a friendship with her, which in turn makes her more aware there is more to her kingdom that the idealic city outside her bedroom window.

Meanwhile, Bowser gets impatient for change and decides to take matters into his own hands by terrorism. And given he has koopas willing to revolt with him leads to Bowser blowing up the castle and kidnapping the princess in order to demand better living conditions for his people. However over time the pwoer gets to Bowsers head that instead of trying to demolish the monarchy he will establish his own. Thus Marioand Luigi goes to save the princess all the while face prejudism for being under-class citizens.

I can imagine the movie climax being Bowser blows up most of the city, almost ruining it. But in the end it's decided instead of the city being restored to how it was, instead the city will be built to compromise the damage left over by bowser, thus the giant gaping holes exposing the undercity are renovated and built as part as the main city, thus allowing the citizens to work together than be divided.

At least that would be my pitch for a Super Mario movie. Instead of putting Mario and Luigi on top it would make them start out literally at the bottom and offer them chance to be heroes. The very thing that holds them back could also serve as a "moral to the story" against prejudism and social division.

Isn't Mushroom Kingdom only consists of mushroom-folk?
When I travel in  Mushroom Kingdom (Mario Odyssey, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle), almost no humans in sight.
All humans seem like they live only in New Donk City,
a town where Mario save from Donkey Kong
where Pauline later become a major of it.

Which is why Luigi is raising the right question here (bad timing though) :

It's because of Luigi's question why I would mix it up a bit to include humans in the Mushroom Kingdom. It would also explain Mario and Luigi's presence as well. The Mushroom Kingdom can still have mushroom folk just live along side humans peacefully.

Maybe Goombas could be regarded as mushroom folk who take on an illness or a defect that forces them to become under class citizens.

It's either that or Peach was once a regular girl who like Mario, ended up in the Mushroom Kingdom and the toads just accepted her as princess for "chosen one" reasons.

Also other theory ...

(https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/411/267/b3f.jpg)

and the most recent one after Bowsette meme was famous ...

https://twitter.com/kaylakaneshiro/status/1045478596465381376 (https://twitter.com/kaylakaneshiro/status/1045478596465381376)
It would make sense that Princess Peach was a former toad (or toadette. I don't think toads have gender and "toadette" is simply an identity). It be like how queen bees are made by feeding the one larvae royal jelly. Without the jelly that bee would just be a worker bee.
For this case the Toads may decide a princess to rule them by giving a toadette a Power Crown. And once she assumes the new identity bestowed upon her by the crown she may take over as ruler of Mushroom Kingdom.

But I'm on about my own cinematic version of a Super Mario movie so I would allow humans and mushroom folk to mingle, as well as humans living in the underside of the city with koopas and goombas.

Ha! Sonic's second movie scared it off. They knew this movie wouldn't hold a candle to Sonic's movie so they pushed the release date out of Sonic's shadow to further develop it to be better than Sonic 2.

I've heard they were cousins also.

That Jimmy Poppadopolos thing isn't real is it?

Also, no one f**ks in the Mushroom Kingdom. Yoshi's Island proves that babies are delivered by storks so I imagine a princess making baked good for a plumber is the Mushroom Kingdom equivalence of sex.

The closest I can think of to anything lewd is how the ending of Super Princess Peach claim the Vibe Scepter is somewhere in the player's home. Yeah, check under your Mum's pillow or the back of her sock drawer.

Maybe. I mean a common backstory is that the Mario Bros. were originally from Brooklyn, Earth and on the job they found a warp pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom where they decided to stay. Sex maybe a foreign concept to them. Kinda like the movie Pleasentville. It could be possible there is some sort of suppression field (https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/Suppression_Field) throughout the world of the Mushroom Kingdom forcing storks to be the only means of reproduction for the human residents that live there.

But after seeing New Donk City and the fact Pauline is the mayor, I'm starting to think Mario and Luigi are actually from New Donk City and that NDC is on the same world as the Mushroom Kingdom, meaning the same laws apply there.

And ever since the introduction of the Super Crown, some fans theories that the mushroom people are actually an eusocial race similar to bees. Princess Peach was perhaps once a Toadette and was given the Super Crown because she was chosen to rule over them. And if she is no longer fit to rule a new toadette will take her place.

Seeing how happy-go-lucky and cheerful Mario is...
It's making more sense if he's from New Donk City.
Especially we know people of that town celebrate his returns in Mario Odyssey.

If he's from real human world like New York, I don't think he will be that cheerful.
May be a bit serious.. or darker... or something like this...

Saudi Arabia Now Owns 5% of Nintendo: Making the Country the 5th Biggest Shareholder

(https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6mr4snEre1qzj5ggo1_640.jpg)

Quote
This move by Saudi Arabia reflects the county’s history of previous investments in video game companies over the last couple years. In 2020, Saudi Arabia had purchased 33% of shares for the King of Fighters series developer, SNK, with the intention of becoming majority shareholder by eventually owning 51%. Now, Saudi Arabia owns an astonishing 96% stake in the Japanese-based company.
Additionally, earlier this year, Saudi Arabia acquired 5% ownership of both Capcom, Street Fighter and Resident Evil series developer, and Nexon, totaling to a $1 billion investment.
Lastly, Saudi Arabia had also invested over $3 billion into American video game companies, such as Activision, EA, and Take-Two Interactive, in February of last year.

I wouldn't be surprise if Arabian Sarasaland has a somewhat backwards culture that may suppress women, especially their own princess, while Mushroom Kingdom is perhaps more like America or European countries that are more forward and free with their people which is why Daisy can be her more tomboyish self.

Of course, given Sarasaland consist of four sub-kingdoms, none of them Arabian in theme, I dunno why people got the idea of Sarasaland being Arabian like.

Egypt is an African country where Africa borders with Middle-east Asia.
It's very close to Arabian countries.
Most Egyptians are Arabic-speaking, and they are Muslim.
Even the official language of Egypt is Arabic.

True, but when I think of Egypt, I think of the Pyramids, the Nile with reeds growing along the banks, the pharaohs adorn in while linen and wearing gold and blue. I think of The Prince of Egypt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prince_of_Egypt), The Mummy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mummy_(1999_film)) and Exhumed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerSlave). Old-timey Brits coined the term "Egyptomania (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptomania)" because people liked the aesthetics of ancient Egyptian culture (and it's treasures).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En2PYkAvBCo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En2PYkAvBCo)

When I think Arabia, I think of the Islamic golden age. I think of marble towers and buildings with onion-shaped roofs, I think of commoners wearing baggy pants and fezzes or turbans. Djinns, carpets and exotic harem dancers which has nothing to do with the modern term for harem. I think One Thousand and One Nights or Disney's Aladdin (even though the original story of Aladdin I think he was Chinese).

I think One Thousand and One Nights or Disney's Aladdin (even though the original story of Aladdin I think he was Chinese).

The only thing Egypt and Arabia have in common would be deserts.

Yes, you're right. Even thought there are other countries that had pyramids, when people say pyramids people would think of Egypt.
Same things with djinns an carpets, people would think of Arab.
Modern times has changed Egypt and Arab a lot, but not all people have went there anyway.

While modern times have changed these places a lot, it's because of culture such as the islamic golden age, 1001 Arabian Nights or even Disney's Aladdin that makes it that whenever people think Arabia they think of magic carpets, genies or Agrabah, even though Arabia is no longer on the map.

Same with Transylvania. Because of Bram Stoker's Dracula and the movie adaptions that follow it, people think Transylvania is some sort of desolate mountain region that barely has much daylight and always dark and creepy.

Here is what the Transylvanian city of Sighișoara (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sighi%C8%99oara) looks like:

It's just easy for people to associate a severely outdated theme or aesthetic to certain places even if the modern culture is no longer like it.

Because of that, that's why I regard Egypt and Arabia different in themes.

Yes, that wasn't what I had in mind when people's talking about Transylvania.
An online friend back then thought I was riding camels for transport when he heard I'm from Indonesia.
He wasn't aware that Indonesia's in south east Asia, a tropical part of the world filled with forests and rivers, very far away from Arabian countries.
I guess not everyone's learning world geography in the school.

Yep, you got that right.
There are thousands islands here, around 17.000 islands, but only around 1.000 of them could be permanently inhabited by people.
I live in Java, one of the big islands, I speak Javanese (three version of them) and Indonesian.
English is my third language so pardon me if sometimes (or often) I'm not good at expressing with it.

Super Mario World: Super Boy 4 v0.9 (SEGA Master System) is Available Now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO_P5KC8p2s

Quote
Super Mario World: Super Boy 4 is a hack in which almost every single tile has been redrawn, recolored, and/or modified to fit in with the SMS palette and the engine’s constraints.
This includes both backgrounds AND sprites, with Koopa Troopas with accurate graphics, Goombas, Galoombas, and Dry Beetles making an appearance Plus, some custom sprites for enemies, like Gooper Bloobers, Scuttlebugs, and the all-new Kooshis, Yoshis who have been transformed into monsters by Bowser’s evil magic.

TO DO IN FUTURE: Change Mario’s palette to be different from the original Super Boy 4 game. Change the text in the HUD to read “MARIO” instead of “S-BOY.”

Takashi Iizuka has shot down Super Mario Maker-Style Sonic Game

(https://i.imgur.com/hLwqdFx.gif)

Quote
In a new conversation with Game Informer, Iizuka was asked a number of questions about the past, present, and future of Sonic the Hedgehog.
In the course of the interview, Iizuka was asked about the possibility of a Sonic Maker game being something that SEGA would ever look to release.
In short, Iizuka quickly and bluntly blew off this idea without even entertaining it much more.
As such, this project seems like it's something that isn't on Sega's radar whatsoever.

Kotaku spoke to ten sources for this article who worked at Nintendo at different points of the past decade.
They told a story of a corporate culture where sexist behavior was commonplace, and very little action was taken to address it.
Most requested anonymity because retaliation could mean a loss of job opportunities throughout the gaming industry.
These employees worked on games and consoles ranging from the early Wii U era to the present Nintendo Switch generation.

I'm kinda curious where all that lava is coming from. I mean that floating landmass is not connected to the Earths core yet it is spilling out magma everywhere and it makes me wonder if the Koopas need to replenish the volcano with rock or heat or something?

But then again there appear to be floating islands with waterfalls so magic I guess.

The game entitled 'Sonic Blast' (a title which would later be used on a Game Gear release) on the other hand takes a finished design that we assumed couldn't get any creepier and turns it up to a whole new level of uncanny.
In a similar pose to the final Sonic 3D Blast case, this alternate Sonic is rounder, plumper and with eyes that appear to be staring right into our very soul.
Yeah, we're pleased they changed that one.

Super Mario Bros. Halloween Hack was a personal project developed for fun years ago. It was never submitted anywhere as it laid forgotten on a personal computer until now.
This hack changes the color of the overall world and changes the sprites of enemies and Mario to be Halloween themed. Worlds are more or less the same except for a few small touches. However, the final levels of the worlds have a makeover.

It seems SEGA is planning another Olympic-themed game possibly with Sonic

(https://media.tenor.com/LvmbWlp3WhMAAAAC/sonic-amy-amy-rose.gif)

Quote
SEGA has published a new Japanese job listing for a title which will seemingly tie into The Olympic Games, the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and will also feature an online multiplayer mode.
Job applicants will need plenty of “experience with Unreal Engine 4” and “experience in action game development” along with “experience in network game (P2P online battle, etc.) also “production with knowledge working with: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows.”

Oh right.. I forgot that console version has different gameplay (mini games instead of platformer) and mostly samey Rabbids.I meant the handheld version since ...

I don't know why they use the samey design after that...
May be it's intentional.
To keep them more memorable
so that that design would always stuck in our mind.

For Switch, yes, most likely Mario & Sonic Olympic game.

But for other system mentioned on the list (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows)
probably it's the human version one (with a Sonic costume again may be)

I'd say that they'll use weapons and moves like they use in Sonic Battle.
It could be adapted in XCom setting.
For example in Sonic Battle Tails' Energy Ball, Flick, Magic Upper, and Chu² Bomb.

True. Though I guess it depends on circumstances like... if you had more than one set of Lock-Ons, and depends how well the recievers work... in which at that point you might as well play paintball or online shooting games.

New Super Mario Movie Commercial Features Sonic the Hedgehog Easter Eggs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu57M7cjSD4

Quote
Eagle-eyed viewers may have caught references to Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog films, as well!
In the commercial, Mario and Luigi's work van can be seen driving across a map starting from Brooklyn. As they drive, several locations can be seen, including "Red Hill" and "Mushroom Planet."
Mushroom Planet is a clear reference to the planet Dr. Robotnik is stranded on at the end of the first Sonic the Hedgehog, while Red Hill would seem to be a Mario reference to Sonic's home in Green Hills.

Maybe if we got a live-action or animated version of Scooby Doo that was more like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and that half the time it's genuine supernatural phenomena then I'd be more interested.

From Super Nintendo World to Joypolis, the joy of video game theme parks
The rivalry continues - in real life.


(https://i.ibb.co/dJJfYsQ/Joypolis-final.jpg)

Quote
While I went in with lowered expectations, I came away pleasantly surprised by Joypolis, and actually believe it's a worthy companion visit alongside Super Nintendo World. I suppose part of that is just the old Sega fanboy in me talking.
But as the company's exit from the arcade business in Japan has sadly seen its once iconic game centres shuttered or rebranded under its new owners GiGO, it's also special to see Joypolis still bearing the Sega logo, as it's owned by another company that still uses the licensing.
This means you can also buy Sonic merch, or even get your picture taken with the hog himself.

The designer poured their heart into it, except an incredible amount of talent. It is not just a money grab but a project of love. They worked on something they really wanted to work on and not just had to because of "work". And that is the result. I love it.

Fans noticed this game takes place somewhere called the "Flower Kingdom". To me, that means either of two things:

1. Princess Daisy's origin story will be retcon. She will no longer be the princess of Sarasaland, but the princess of Flower Kingdom. That or Sarasaland is part of the Flower Kingdom.

2. Prince Haru (https://www.mariowiki.com/Haru-%C5%8Dji) will be made canon and be Princess Peach' betrothed, ultimately c0ck-blocking Mario after all he done for her.

Jet Set Radio new game was leaked before so the chance of it's being a new game (or remake) is high.
For Sonic ... well it could really just be Olympic games ... or mobile game ... or Olympic Mobile Game.

I wouldn't hold my breath over it. We've had leaks in the past that didn't amount to anything.
As for the Olympic Games, they're subpar, really.

So Charles Martinet got a big promotion to personally represent and speak for Mario himself outside the games? Is it because of his long term as a voice actor for Mario?

Imagine if Jaleel White or Ryan Drummond stuck around as Sonic's voice. Maybe they would have become Sega Sonic Ambassador.

M+S Olympic Games series are fun for me.
Played them with my kids many times.
It's a party game, most won't like it if they don't treat it as one or just watching the game from youtube.

Yes. Personally represent and speak for a game character is really a big thing.
That's why sometimes when a game character's VA got replaced, the one got replaced sometimes couldn't take it well.
Bayonetta's VA and Super Monkey Ball announcer being the examples.

It is unfair on Bayonetta's part, but at the same time if she had respect for the role she could have still done it for peanuts. Sure it's still a job, and they need to get paid to eat, but if it's important to the fans it's worth it.

I have a sort of love-hate with RPGs. I prefer classic RPGs, especially turn-based or ATB combat but I can understand how such gameplay can be boring or too vanilla for some.

At the same time, I don't like it when RPGs are overly-complicated and confusing. Like when FFX introduce the sphere grid (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Sphere_Grid) and I just couldn't get my head around it. I rather have a basic RPG character growth system for skills and magic and just enjoy the story than get bogged down by anything too complicated.

Persona series for the example.

For those who just want to enjoy the stories, they could pick the safety mode.
Safety mode essentially ensured that anyone could enjoy the release without having to worry about getting a Game Over screen.
Characters would revive automatically if their health hit zero in combat, enemies were significantly weakened, and you'd collect experience points at a much, much faster rate.

In SEGA Mega Drive Mini 2, Phantasy Star II has this mode too.

Those settings mostly effect the give or take of values such as damage or rewards. If an RPG uses a complicated growth-system or tangled skill tree I won't have a good time if I can only progress so far without having to figure out how to upgrade.

I'm just curious if there is a "Segacore" or something that can be regarded equivalent to Sega.

Yes, there was.
The word they used was "DNA" instead of "core".
Toshihiro Nagoshi mentioned it as "Innovative DNA", "Evolve DNA", or "SEGA DNA".
But that DNA term wasn't used again since Toshihiro Nagoshi left the company.

I see. So Nagoshi had an understanding on Sega's general style... just it wasn't executed much.
I noticed Nintendo have it's own distinct style and aesthetics and noticed a few TikTok videos and fan animations that utilize it. I think it's because Nintendo games like Pokémon, Splatoon and Animal Crossing not just have a wide variety of characters but customizable main characters that makes the player feels more "in their shoes" and involved in the world these games established.

Other than Phantasy Star Online, I don't recall much Sega games that offer this level of involvement for characters. But that's not to say no Sega game are known for founding it's own aesthetic, such as Jet Set Radio establishing "Shibuya Punk (https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Shibuya_Punk)"
It just be nice if fans have such relations with Sega games as fans do with Nintendo games.

I think SEGA is keep changing because that's their DNA. To be "Innovative", "Evolve", and "Move Forward".
Phantasy Star IV to Phantasy Star Online and Sonic 3 to Sonic Adventure were really a huge change back then.
Sure the changes sacrifice some of the old themes but like Stan Lee said ... "change is good".

I guess so, but one of the reasons Nintendo lasted so long is because they knew how to market nostalgia, just like Disney.
I guess Sonic games do have their own sort of "aesthetics"... between Classic-era and Dreamcast-era.

Do you think Sonic Frontiers has lost its Sonic's aesthetics?
Because the graphic's becoming more realistic and enemies are kinda different, not the kind we usually found in Sonic games.

Compared to Lost World, it's very different.

A'ight... prepare for a big'un!

Honestly... it is difficult to "pin" exactly what "Modern Sonic" aesthetic is.

I mean, my guess for Sonic Adventure they tried to go for realistic the best of their capabilities for the Dreamcast but because of the 256x256 and 128x128 texture limit, the console's lighting capabilities and other factors the adventure games still had their limits.
That and some stages in the adventure games forego "realism" for style.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/7805a161ceeddbd2542e4dab8c17551b/tumblr_p2p2pcBkpW1w1kerio1_400.gifv)
Sonic Adventure was still a rather colourful game, and these themes of "colourful abstract realism" carried on throughout the Dreamcast-era of Sonic.
There was always something about the graphics of the Dreamcast-games that just sort of made Dreamcast games unique. I could never put the words what it is but it's like what would be regarded it's limits for a console for it's time was also what gave it it's own aesthetic.

Then there was Sonic '06 which I can tell tried to be like the Dreamcast-era but also trying to be more realistic.
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/2/27/Sonic_Next-Gen_11_%281%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160208085621&path-prefix=es)
In a way, some of the stages complimented it well such as Kingdom Valley or Tropical Jungle while other stages were rather generic in style.

I think the "definite style" for modern Sonic was finally founded in Sonic Unleashed. They seemed to have found that good balance of colourful, abstraction and realism that really brings out the world of Sonic without losing it's core values it had since the Dreamcast-era.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/2ebcd3e69ffcff517afb1ba51624ad13/tumblr_pb6644d1Ax1w1kerio1_540.gif)
My only complaint in design were the cartoony humans, which just look odd when they stand against the degree of detail on the Town Stages.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/fd122214b3635bc2c588d42b8d3fc693/0ae2d9f9bc477bd4-3d/s500x750/7b5170905931590c9c34f4a1cdec1b39bdd08827.gifv)

Then by Sonic Colours, they decided to just make it all colourful and cartoony. I figured it would just a one-off thing given it's supposed to be themed on interstellar amusement park and alien planets
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/edfe59d2097cd2b3438cdb6e30e09b47/12169197c8b41610-99/s400x600/7201d33a8c50780fdc070f952fc42c62196fa614.gifv)
It actually got worse by Sonic Lost World which had this sort of very colourful, yet sort of blocky like geography.
(http://abload.de/img/sanic3icdb.gif)
But you know what Sonic Lost World design reminds me of? It reminds me of Master System/Game Gear Sonic games, which had similar graphics design due to the limits the 8-bit consoles had.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/f5caae46aa03028422e49f67015b55b9/tumblr_phtgsjypyl1w1kerio1_540.gifv)
So in a way, "Lost World" geography-style could work for Classic Sonic games but only under specific circumstances.

By Sonic Generations they seemed to went by to unleashed style of scenery design where they balanced colourful and realism and this really work! I mean it's kind of the style established since Sonic Adventure but shows it can be applied as a design scheme to older stages as well if done right.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/577e19ad8805b0d84760b106db9535f9/e4b82855125cc58f-bc/s1280x1920/63dfc1eaf10a958b796c326aba0c9156b4be91db.gifv)
But for some reason, in Sonic Forces, they decided to "mix it up a bit" by mixing in some of the blocky Lost World-like terrain which sort of clashes with the realism a little which made it look a bit "Mushroom Kingdom" in some places.

Do you think Sonic Frontiers has lost its Sonic's aesthetics?
Because the graphic's becoming more realistic and enemies are kinda different, not the kind we usually found in Sonic games.
As for your original question, I don't think they lost the aesthetics established in Dreamcast-era, Unleashed and Generations but given it is now a more open-world game means they can't use the usual level designs we've grown familiar with in Sonic games, thus why these designs are used for platforming segments scattered throughout the islands as well as Cyber Space stages.

But, I think in writing this rather long-winded post of mine, I think I did some up with what could be regarded as a "Sonicore" aesthetic that could be applied to most games.
I guess my conclusion is that when it comes to "Mariocore (https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Nintencore#Mariocore)", Mario games have followed a distinct style that they've kept as a constance throughout the series, but they did make some alterations to fit in with a "Classic-era", an "N64-Gamecube era" to a "Modern-era" of their own.
Like Mariocore, "Sonicore" has also adapted its style throughout its era but taken more different changes to exemplify the graphical capabilities of Sonic games as well as to fit in with Sonic's ongoing style. Classic-era being more whimsy and colourful in level design while Dreamcast-era and most Modern-era being just as colourful but favouring realism but can still be applied to zones from the Classic-era such as Green Hill Zone. Sonic Generations best exemplify this.

I guess in a way, I'ms tarting to see what Sonic's aesthetic more is. I just wish "Sonicore" is as recognised as "Mariocore".

As for "Segacore" in general, that's something I yet to identify... but as I mentioned, there was something about Dreamcast games I always thought had their own "vibrancy" to them.

A'ight... prepare for a big'un!

Honestly... it is difficult to "pin" exactly what "Modern Sonic" aesthetic is.

I mean, my guess for Sonic Adventure they tried to go for realistic the best of their capabilities for the Dreamcast but because of the 256x256 and 128x128 texture limit, the console's lighting capabilities and other factors the adventure games still had their limits.
That and some stages in the adventure games forego "realism" for style.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/7805a161ceeddbd2542e4dab8c17551b/tumblr_p2p2pcBkpW1w1kerio1_400.gifv)
Sonic Adventure was still a rather colourful game, and these themes of "colourful abstract realism" carried on throughout the Dreamcast-era of Sonic.
There was always something about the graphics of the Dreamcast-games that just sort of made Dreamcast games unique. I could never put the words what it is but it's like what would be regarded it's limits for a console for it's time was also what gave it it's own aesthetic.

Yeah, sometimes limitation could bring a creativity which lead to a unique aesthetic that somehow would be lost when the limitation is removed.


Then there was Sonic '06 which I can tell tried to be like the Dreamcast-era but also trying to be more realistic.
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/2/27/Sonic_Next-Gen_11_%281%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160208085621&path-prefix=es)
In a way, some of the stages complimented it well such as Kingdom Valley or Tropical Jungle while other stages were rather generic in style.

I think the "definite style" for modern Sonic was finally founded in Sonic Unleashed. They seemed to have found that good balance of colourful, abstraction and realism that really brings out the world of Sonic without losing it's core values it had since the Dreamcast-era.

My only complaint in design were the cartoony humans, which just look odd when they stand against the degree of detail on the Town Stages.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/fd122214b3635bc2c588d42b8d3fc693/0ae2d9f9bc477bd4-3d/s500x750/7b5170905931590c9c34f4a1cdec1b39bdd08827.gifv)

Sonic, Tails, and friends are cartoony humanoid animals though.
If the humans had to look normal (like they do in 06) then I think Sonic and friends should've look like they were in movie version.

(https://64.media.tumblr.com/cd5c3807d0b81e07f9536d0d7f019aca/faa6ede117fd2d84-3a/s640x960/1dc468119c5ebaf9dc448a4d5c48accb52b473c5.gif)


Then by Sonic Colours, they decided to just make it all colourful and cartoony. I figured it would just a one-off thing given it's supposed to be themed on interstellar amusement park and alien planets
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/edfe59d2097cd2b3438cdb6e30e09b47/12169197c8b41610-99/s400x600/7201d33a8c50780fdc070f952fc42c62196fa614.gifv)
It actually got worse by Sonic Lost World which had this sort of very colourful, yet sort of blocky like geography.
(http://abload.de/img/sanic3icdb.gif)
But you know what Sonic Lost World design reminds me of? It reminds me of Master System/Game Gear Sonic games, which had similar graphics design due to the limits the 8-bit consoles had.

So in a way, "Lost World" geography-style could work for Classic Sonic games but only under specific circumstances.

By Sonic Generations they seemed to went by to unleashed style of scenery design where they balanced colourful and realism and this really work! I mean it's kind of the style established since Sonic Adventure but shows it can be applied as a design scheme to older stages as well if done right.
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/577e19ad8805b0d84760b106db9535f9/e4b82855125cc58f-bc/s1280x1920/63dfc1eaf10a958b796c326aba0c9156b4be91db.gifv)

I wonder how the humans would like in the Generations environment.

But for some reason, in Sonic Forces, they decided to "mix it up a bit" by mixing in some of the blocky Lost World-like terrain which sort of clashes with the realism a little which made it look a bit "Mushroom Kingdom" in some places.
(https://i.imgur.com/2Dvzgq0.gif)

I guess they're still experimenting on how to combine the modern/classic environment.

As for your original question, I don't think they lost the aesthetics established in Dreamcast-era, Unleashed and Generations but given it is now a more open-world game means they can't use the usual level designs we've grown familiar with in Sonic games, thus why these designs are used for platforming segments scattered throughout the islands as well as Cyber Space stages.

But, I think in writing this rather long-winded post of mine, I think I did some up with what could be regarded as a "Sonicore" aesthetic that could be applied to most games.
  • Roller coaster terrain, unlike most platforming games (such as Mario games) which usually consist of angular slopes and platforms, Sonic Team design their stages more comparable to roller coasters with loop-de-loops and twists but incorporate them into the terrain and design of the world. Almost all Sonic stages feel like running on a roller coaster track and with Sonic's speed have that feel of exhilaration of speed and loops that most other platforming games don't have.
  • Bright and colourful, yet a degree of realism, best exemplified in Dreamcast-era games, Sonic Unleashed and Generations. However, it's OK to lean towards realism and less colour at times as long as it compliments the stage, such as Kingdom Valley from Sonic '06
  • Classic games can favour cartoony over realism, Sonic Mania and Superstars aren't exactly "cartoonish" in level designs but still have flora and geography that seem more on the whimsy than real, and that seems fine as it compliments the Classic-era characters well.
I guess my conclusion is that when it comes to "Mariocore (https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Nintencore#Mariocore)", Mario games have followed a distinct style that they've kept as a constance throughout the series, but they did make some alterations to fit in with a "Classic-era", an "N64-Gamecube era" to a "Modern-era" of their own.
Like Mariocore, "Sonicore" has also adapted its style throughout its era but taken more different changes to exemplify the graphical capabilities of Sonic games as well as to fit in with Sonic's ongoing style. Classic-era being more whimsy and colourful in level design while Dreamcast-era and most Modern-era being just as colourful but favouring realism but can still be applied to zones from the Classic-era such as Green Hill Zone. Sonic Generations best exemplify this.

I guess in a way, I'ms tarting to see what Sonic's aesthetic more is. I just wish "Sonicore" is as recognised as "Mariocore".

I think even Sonic fans themselves still be divided if they asked about what they most like about Sonic's aethestic.


As for "Segacore" in general, that's something I yet to identify... but as I mentioned, there was something about Dreamcast games I always thought had their own "vibrancy" to them.

I guess it also depended on what games we played too.
As for me, I always thought Dreamcast aesthectic as hi-tech and modern but still colorful and vibrant.

Yeah, sometimes limitation could bring a creativity which lead to a unique aesthetic that somehow would be lost when the limitation is removed.
That's probably why I found such charm with Dreamcast games. The Dreamcast may not had been as good as the XBox, PlayStation 2 or Gamecube at the time but for Sega it wa sa pioneer at what advance 3D games they could make at the time... while still limited t the technology at the time which sort of give it that charm.
Sonic, Tails, and friends are cartoony humanoid animals though.

Yeah but they could of chosen a design that met them half-way. In Sonic Adventure, while low-poly due to limitations, the human NPCs were all anime. This didn't make them stand out too much against Station Square scenery nor make them look too out of place amongst the playable characters.
This is especially proven in the anime Sonic X where Sonic and his friends didn't look that out of place amongst the human characters.
I wonder how the humans would like in the Generations environment.
I imagine the same as they did in Unleashed given both games were made with the same engine.

Still given it's been awhile since we've seen other humans in Sonic games I hope they're reintroduced with either anime-like design, or "Animesque (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Animesque)" like design. An animesque design would make them not too anime around Sonic but not too cartoony for their environment.
I guess they're still experimenting on how to combine the modern/classic environment.
Well, that's just it, I don't think it's entirely possible to do so, and it's OK.

When I read Amy's 30th Anniversary Special, it had such scenes of her in pastel colourful fields of flowers, and it made me wonder if that's how she views the world herself or if that's what it's really like.
Another example would be the Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special, where we saw zones that seem to be themed after the four seasons.

It's like, the "aesthetic" of Classic Sonic follows specific angular patterns in the cliffs and geography as well as a sort of pallet of colours that are bright and colourful but not too distracting.

This makes it different from the "Modern Sonic aesthetic" given instead of patterned terrain it goes for more natural terrain while still retaining the rollercoaster geography both classic and modern are known for. The stages can still be colourful but using more familiar designs for levels such as city-scapes, canyons or ancient ruins etc.
I think even Sonic fans themselves still be divided if they asked about what they most like about Sonic's aethestic.
True. I'm simply trying to understand it. I mean, I am aware of it, just not exactly sure how to describe it or neatly sum it up. And honestly, sort of jealous that Nintencore, and its sub-genres of aesthetics is a thing, while not many people seem to regard Sega or Sonic with its own aesthetics.

It all started when I found these Twitter videos by Oshiruko (https://twitter.com/oshiruko_s2), their videos consist of what looks like "random moments" in the world of Pokémon, how they emulated Ken Sugimori's art style and use of colour and design.
Oshiruko also has clips for Animal Crossing and Splatoon that also use the aesthetics we're familiar with those franchises. Aesthetics listen on the Nintencore article (https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Nintencore).

The thing is, it's not just Oshiruko who made such Nintendo-fan clips, there are animators and artist who put time and effort to make these "moments", moments that lean more on the aesthetics and the feelings they promote than directly fan-art or fan-animation of the games they're based on.

Yet I hardly see anything of the like for Sega or Sonic games. I mean, sure there are plenty of Sonic fan characters and fan art around them, but nothing that brings out the aesthetic of Sega... if that makes any sense.

The latest charts are now in from the largest gaming market in Europe, the United Kingdom. It was always going to be a great week for new releases as Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Wonder, and Sonic Superstars all released, vying for gamers’ attention. It seems as though Sony’s Spider-Man 2 came out the winner, entering the charts at the coveted top spot. Spider-Man 2 was followed by the wonderful Super Mario Wonder, which is now the fifth biggest-selling game of 2023. SEGA’s Sonic Superstars didn’t fare too badly either as it ...

Dunno what it's called. Better than Nintendo 64 but lesser than Gamecube.
I guess, sort of mid-way there.
Reminded me of Wonder Boy movie too.

I remember trying to watch that movie.
Those are cool artworks.
Yeah, I like his art.
Wow... Where is that?
The Rainbow Mountains in Peru... in fact lots of places in Peru look like they belong in a Sonic stage.
Valkyria Chronicles games do indeed have such unique graphics. Too bad they didn't do well sales-wise.
Yeah I gave Valkyria Chronicles a go but I didn't do much with it.
Would like to try Skies of Arcadia someday though.
It's normal. Not all games we played could 'click" with us.
True. That and we only had a few Dreamcast games.
UK charts: Spider-Man 2 enters at No.1 , Super Mario Wonder at No.2, Sonic No.4

The kind of movie that made us sleep halfway.

Ah.. The land of the Inca Empire. It's really a beautiful country ... landscapes-wise.

Yeah I gave Valkyria Chronicles a go but I didn't do much with it.

The problem with Valkyria Chroicles series is even a single battle alone took long to complete, especially in later levels.
We already finished one Sonic game when one battle's completed.

DAMMIT Sonic! Try to catch up!

Sonic's not alone this time. He's got to wait Knuckles, Tails, Amy, and Trip to catch up. That's why he couldn't run that fast.

No, they tried one more time after this with Valkyria Chronicles 4.
(Valkyria Chronicles 4 came on 2018, Valkyria Revolution released on 2017).
And sadly eventough the game was well received, the sales weren't as expected too.

Well, if 2018 is regarded "recent" and Sakura Wars came out in 2019... well maybe it’s too early to count them out yet.

But you know what Sega are like when it comes to franchises that don't pull their sales.

Sakura Wars was worse case than Valkyria Chronicles.
Its mobile game "Sakura Kakumei" has made SEGA lost a lot of money eventough the gameplay was solid and being handled by top developer, Delightworks.

That sucks. And it's these kinds of shortcomings that give Sega the message that it is unwanted and will "put in the pile".

While I myself don't play Sakura Wars, I'm sure it must have a known fanbase. But the number of fans wasn't enough to make a favourable sale. Instead of renovating the franchise in order to appeal and expand the fandom, it's just easier for Sega to just abandon and let the fandom starve itself to death.

Yes, but they can't attract new fans if they just "give up". And even if Sakura Wars reboot was more of a cost than an earning, the game still received average to above reviews, sold more units than So Long My Love and in its first week ranked second in sales behind Pokémon Sword and Shield, that's nothing to scoff at.

Sega got the ball rolling! Sure it's a gutter ball, but Sega will not know if they will get a spare if they don't try again!

Actually it feels more like the adventure part of Sonic Adventure than Mario games to me.
May be that's why I love Odyssey so much.
