yo ho ho check out me attorney's badge.

yarr it be a step ladder

A prosecutor with a gun only makes sense after one that had a whip and another that was somehow able to cut you from across the courtroom with his fingers.

(I always assumed Blackquill was throwing something to do that but uh, the wiki tells me otherwise.)

wtf there were playable Goombas?

Apparently the beta version has something called a story and Bowser even talks. Can you confirm this?

Yeah and also Peach has an active role in the plot and doesn't whine about Mario not rescuing her fast enough. It's like the writers at some point in development decided that none of these characters needed to be likable or whatever

Wow. Surely the gameplay must be better in the final though. Like I can't imagine they had a fun and balanced battle current and just threw it out for stickers... Right?

Yeah I can see why they threw this gameplay out, it's too fun and it makes the player actually want to do battles rather than spend more time in the overworld listening to Nintendo's crappy meme jokes

wow amazing how much the final game improved. Definitely way too much variety and character in the beta.

AlphaDream didn't want a portable paper mario outdoing the Mario and Luigi games so the M&L team pursuaded Miyamoto to sabatoge Sticker Star to protect their turf

Mr. AlphaDream holding onto a ledge for dear life with Miyamoto looming over him unflinchingly

Miyamoto: "Remember when I said, after killing Paper Mario, that I would spare you from bad Mario RPGs?"
Mr. AlphaDream: "YES, MR. MIYAMOTO! YOU DID SAY THAT!"
Miyamoto: -takes out blueprints for a new game called Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam- "I lied."

I thought everyone loved this game. It was a masterpiece and the best in the series, that’s what Nintendo said about it!

That was a time where games just kinda popped into existence from my perspective so I didn't realize it was a thing till it was out and I didn't play it till years after the fact 

As a kid I remember feeling really accomplished just by figuring out what the fuck Pikachu's down B was and how to even use it

We've come so far

I found out about it through a TV commercial when I was shoulders deep in my Pokemon obsession, so all I knew was that Pikachu was in it and I wanted it.

But Mario had the benefit of staying his same beautiful self when he got nailed.

His curse, the shame he bore from being defeated by Bowser, was on a deeper, more psychological level than Sonic's

Good to hear you're enjoying it. There's a steep curve but pretty fun.

Wipeout Omega also plays fantastically well in VR, and there was a lot of effort in creating it. They went to the effort of putting in countermeasures and options for dealing with motion sickness, making it honestly a really smooth experience despite how insanely fast Wipeout's gameplay is.

I appreciate that I can dial down the difficulty in tour mode and it doesn't affect my ability to get points and unlock stuff. I'm trying to do all the non-racing stuff on elite but I can't deal with the AI at that level especially due to Wipeout being an item box racer.

That includes plugging your RP after two moderator warnings.

They’re good, but have a difficult learning curve. It’s a high speed racer, but it’s what it says on the tin, very easy to crash, always running at high speeds etc.

If you want to give it a go, Omega Collection is worth the pickup, with three Wipeout games in one and a really good VR mode included.
