Dee Dude

Your clone came back 1 minute earlier XD.

Welcome back.

How was it? And if I'm remembering correctly you just started this job like a week or two ago?

Have you always had a job or is this a recent development?

@Kiah First day.

@A crocodile Recent development.

Is it your first job?

Welcome back Dee Dude Clone #1!

@A crocodile Yep.

Thanks! I'm glad to be a part of it!

64 for me was more lifeless and dull

I mean it was the first game.

Yeah but you still said Sm4sh was more lifeless and dull, to which I disagreed with 

Brawl was drab and nasty. The only good that came of it was Squirtle and my blue boy is gone forever.

@Strong Guy Well technically you’re right, on a visual scale anyway.

What do you mean by ambition

Every game seemed to have a certain charm to it.

Sm4sh just feels like...it exists..

the general consensus is that the series got notably better during the latter half of season 9 IIRC.

Glad to hear you got the job!

Congrats!

Awesome to hear!

You kids grow up so fast! *sheds tear*

Seriously though congratulations! 

Especially the Kids Next Door ones.

Hells yeah!

Remember Operation Startup?

YEEES!!

Oh man. I used to play Operation S.T.A.R.T.U.P a lot.

I remember that. Used to play Nickelodeon games and Garfield ones online all the time. That was such a carefree time. 

I'd rather not chalk up the positive reception of Mania to pure hatred of Forces and Sonic Team. There are plenty of people who are fans of both.

I don't despise Sonic Team I just think that they seem to be burnt out with making Sonic games and should move on to other projects like Puyo Puyo Tetris. Iizuka wants to work on NiGHTS 3, Nakamura wants to make a new Samba De Amigo game just give Sonic to passionate developers. 

Even though I’m rather critical of them I don’t despise Sonic Team. More like deeply disappointed.

Deeply disappointed because they keep pulling their iconic character in like a million directions and continue to do things to divide, frustrate and even infuriate the fanbase in the process.

Overall direction, dedication and passion seems to be lacking with Sonic Team as of late. Can’t say that at all with the Sonic Mania team and this is coming from someone who is way more of a Modern Sonic fan. 

Sonic needs take a break or at least take a step back and figure out what they are doing with Sonic and once they determine that direction put a lot of heart and effort into it as opposed to half-doing everything which is doing Sonic’s reputation or his fans absolutely no favors. 

I actually forgot about her.

Same actually lol.

The hype for her probably died down.

Meh, I still honestly don't see it.

She's a fan creation. I highly doubt it.

I still want Eggette to be an official thing. I love the idea of Eggman being an uncle and having his niece beside him amid evil plots and shenanigans. 

Y'mean like for N64 Mario and Donkey Kong Country?

Yeah, I always wonder if there was a SM64 remake that used that artstyle instead of the modern look.

I feel the same.

It works well with Mario, Donkey Kong and even Sonic (provided that it wasn't that 3D head). There's just something about that is pleasing about them and surprised that no game or modern artwork that tried to imatate the look. It also helps that sometimes the artwork itself is more expressive due to the scenery too. Human/anime based or more realistic characters though have aged poorly. At least in most cases, the Namco stuff (Richard Miller and the two from Time Crisis 2, Reiko Nagase) are all right.

Probably nostalgia pandering (for Megaman and Pac-Man) and consistency for Ness and Lucas (they already had voices in their debuts for Smash, so not much point in changing it). Olimar, hell if I know, maybe people just didn’t hear him.
