You guys have been on a roll of horribleness. I love it. and I love listening to Gui have an existential crisis over the fact that he has literally lost the ability to get it up for Single player games that aren't made in the style of a Lucasarts point n' click adventure. He attempts Auto-erotic high score chasing, but he just cannot get it up.

Play FF5 or something. you can play that game 2 player. or FF14. that's a 10,000,000 player game, and the idea of you and Karen with side-by-side gaming PCs, TVs set up next to each other running Sigmascape V4 with empty poutine containers strewn about the room at 4 AM is kinda cute.


Also, yeah, I didn't bother watching Greatest Royal Rumble myself, but yeah, it made me smile that people started making Shockmaster memes about Tidas O'Niel for that trip he made there.


I grinned with sadistic glee that removing Undertale and it's ilk from the timeline was looked upon as a pro.

That's right, Screw you, fans of LISA and Super Lesbian Horse RPG!

Also, I kinda have a feeling that the Ape Inc/Creatures are not very talented on the coding end and we might have gotten far more stable/bug free Pokemon games.

I often wonder if the mental image I have of these guys is close to what they actually look like.

Consider my culpa mea'd on the River City review.

And I would wager that there are more stans for Thousand Year Door specifically than the Mother series, especially since Nintendo is sating most of the demand for Earthbound by literally just re-releasing it (Wii U, New 3DS, SNES Classic). So if you want to cause pain to more people, get rid of Paper Mario and watch Nintendo's good first party games on the Gamecube drop to a trio.

Looking forward to Smash Royale, the gacha based Clash Royale clone with Smash Bros styling.


BTW, when killing FZero or Star Fox remember their impact on the SNES. Star Fox was Argonaut's big hit that resulted in the design of the Super FX chip that affected loads of later SNES games including Yoshi's Island. Dunno if erasing FZero would impact Mario Kart.

Okay, so... I think we'd still have Pilotwings as a showcase of mode7.

but the Starfox argument is interesting. not because it gets rid of Yoshi's Island. I think that game exists with maybe some levels changed to not have 3D Graphics. Stunt Race FX gets obliterated, and... actually the knock-on effect of that is kinda devestating.

first and foremost, Argonaut never gets close enough to Nintendo to then pitch their prototype of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. their 3D platformer Yoshi prototype. this never gets turned down, and never ends up inspiring Super Mario 64.

The Rumble Pak now has to ship with some other game. maybe this is something like goldeneye, but there's no excellent use case for it, and maybe rumble/force feedback controllers don't catch on in the same way they do in our current timeline.

Argonaut never gets the rub from ever working with nintendo. yes, they made some compitent stuff for the Amiga, but without Starfox and Croc under their belt, who's to say they never make it out of the Amiga space and onto the Playstation, even? This means they may have never gotten the Alien: Ressurection license, to which they made a game that by all intents and purposes, invented the default control scheme for MANY games that would come out in the future on consoles. left stick for move and strafe, right stick for free look, and R2 for firing.

Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door was one of my favorite games on the GCN. I basically blew through it in one week. However years later, I tried playing it and got really frustrated by the BS there is towards the end.

So I kinda see where Guillaume is coming from. Pikmin 3 is like one of those special games that only comes around a few times in a lifetime and you killed it....for squirt guns
