hey speaking of DK i have conflicting feelings about his place in the Mario universe lately. on one hand its cool that they're limiting the use of DKC characters in Mario spinoffs because it makes it feel like the DKC series has its own identity again. but on the other hand they're not making like, a bunch of DK games at a time so ultimately, most of these characters are only rarely appearing in anything

[MeowMan]

They'll probably start adding DKC characters to stuff when they release a new DKC game for the sake of cross promotion. I'm pretty sure that's the reason Inklings are in MK8Dx, anyway.

[Calamity Panfan]

i'm wondering if dkc characters will be in the mario rabbids dlc

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Isn't the appeal of Mario spin-offs the multiplayer? A surprising amount of people seem interested in the single player content.

@DZ: Nintendo probably won't get normal 3rd party support until they make a traditional console rivaling the competition again. They'll still get old ports and a fair bit of unique stuff but it's usually safe not to expect the likes of GTA VI or Final Fantasy XVI to appear on the system.

[DarkZero]

the mario sports games on the GBC/GBA had rpg-like story modes that a lot of people liked. to the point that there's an indie game based on them (golf story)

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

I see. Well, that's great news, then. It certainly seems like a fun game at any rate.

[DarkZero]

yeah i'm interested. i also dig the tennis outfits

in other news sleep sucks and my neck is sore

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

I would see if it will have online? Switch is their chance to finally make such features the norm for their games, and their upcoming subscription service seems like they might finally do it.

Try taking a hot shower, it might help with the pain.

[DarkZero]

our hot water is busted it only lasts like 5 minutes before it gets freezing cold

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Is there a tub? Can just take a hot bath instead of a shower. No tub here, unfortunately.

[DarkZero]

the water would go cold before the tub got full

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

I guess you can resort to medication then.

[Valigarmander]

I could give you a sensual massage if you'd like.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

hm this is a particularly s****y night

[Marilink]

Sorry to hear that, man.

I feel sort of the same way. DK is kind of in this liminal state. I keep forgetting that he's part of the Mario universe because Rare expanded upon DK with the Kong family in DKC and etc. So to me he feels like he's part of an entire different group.

Isn't there a similar issue with most of the Wario-related characters not being used for anything?

Personally, I'm still stoked that they brought Pauline back in a mainline Mario game.

[DarkZero]

oh man when are we getting a new wario game

at this point i'd be equally happy with land or ware

[Sonic 5]

Well, the last one was about five years ago. Half a decade.

I've never actually played any of the Land titles. Do any of them still hold up?

[MeowMan]

there are a lot of Mario universe characters who need to appear more. where have Tatanga and Fawful even been all this time?
