The DLC so far can be a mixed bag for many. The revealed characters are all 3rd party, but 2 of them have been prominent on Nintendo consoles in the past and 1 used to be 1st party. DQ, while not beloved in the West, is very much wanted by Japan so its inclusion makes sense for DLC. And I mean who honestly saw Joker or Banjo coming? I've not followed any leaks past the game's launch, but Joker and Banjo I never saw coming (heh). Persona (well at least 3-5) never saw any games for Nintendo except for Q and somehow Nintendo wanted to add Joker for whatever reason (there's also that Persona 5 Musou but that was announced after Joker's reveal trailer). For Banjo, I honestly gave up hope since I thought getting the rights to him would be a nightmare, but apparently not and Nintendo snagged him easily. I agree it'd be boring if the rest of the DLC were 3rd party, but if their gameplay is fun or their reveal is unexpected or a popular pick (Geno for me), I'd be content with it. I bought the season pass not knowing what was to come, but I'm happy with all of them surprisingly but I could understand if other people didn't feel the same. The other spots could be Nintendo reps, but they'd have to "matter" for me. I wasn't happy with Piranha Plant, and I'd be darned if we get another FE character but after Banjo I don't really care who Nintendo adds.

Here are some of the levels I made: Mystifying Mire Zone: 1MS-L0H-9QF First level I made with some inspiration from 2D Sonic. Sky Scramble Cruise: C7J-0MC-2JG An autoscroll-esque level that's fairly challenging I'd say. Toad Rise Rooftops: BVL-DHS-QGF The level I put a lot of time into and my biggest level I made. I'm pretty proud of this one, as there are a lot of optional paths. Other levels I made are for Multiplayer VS levels if you want to check them out.

I'm finally glad that Banjo is finally in Smash, but the last challenger that will solidify "Everyone is here!" for me would be Geno. I don't think he's gonna come as DLC since that character only appeared in 1 game like 20 years ago, he's more niche than Banjo, and there's already Hero as the Square Enix rep. Guess I'll just stick the amiibo outfit when that eventually comes. Other than that, I'm perfectly content with whomever Sakurai or Nintendo chooses to add in Smash whether that be Crash, Rayman, Shantae, Frisk, Steve, Doomguy, Ryu Hyabasa, Tales of rep, Heihachi, or even Sora. (But if possible I'd like them to add Shadow as an echo fighter please).

I've not played any of the 2D Spongebob games, but I did play RoftD on PS2 and that was some mediocre jank lol. But to give it credit, the original BFBB have some elements in the game that were inspired by the 3D RoFTD game (and made them better). To me, I view BFBB as a really good licensed Banjo Kazooie game. If you like 3D platformers and Spongebob, you'll love this game. Hopefully the remaster lives up to the original's seal of quality. And the original not selling does seem unfortunate as it did get a Greatest Hits if I recall. As someone who puts this game as 1 of my Top 5 Favorite games, I am beyond stoked that this is getting remastered with extra content!

Not gonna lie, I attended that concert last night and felt a bit gipped I had to sit through several minute breaks of watching playthroughs and amvs of FF7 and not watching the orchestra do anything. I thought I was getting dizzy from being slightly inebriated when the audience clapped after a scene from the game or amv scene ended. At least with the KH concert I didn't have to wait between stretches of videos to see an orchestra actually perform but I guess I'll stay away from FF concerts in the future (and Dolby Theatre is a pain in the ass to get to and park by). And while I was expecting an FF7R trailer, I was immensely disappointed at the lack of no Tifa. Maybe that changes tonight idk.

From the trailer, the only thing that piqued my interest is the mystery behind Luxord. Although I wonder how they'll handle the Disney worlds in the DLC. I'm not really that fussed about playing as characters I've played before (but dual-wield Roxas would be fun to play outside of that one fight). I was expecting some perspective from Axel and Kairi, but it wasn't to be.

I somehow skillfully dodged the first release of Mania, so I can't wait to play Mania Plus tomorrow (or tonight depending on how fast Prime ships)! I got some stuff spoiled like old zones returning but the new zones are completely unknown territory for me.

Doesnt have to be voiced dialogue. Text dialogue was what I meant, but I completely forgot about movie Pikachu speaking and Pikachu being the only poke with a voiced cry that says its name edit: oh and eevee too

Whoa Jesse and James! Blast from the Pokemon Yellow past! I wonder if they'll go with the full anime references and make Meowth speak in these games. Still, these games with elements of Yellow and Red/Blue feels kinda weird.
