Mario and Pokemon I get, Zelda historically has had almost none, and Kirby isn't exactly the equal of the Nintendo Trinity. Most of the Kirby spin-offs these days are free-to-play. 6 hours ago, Venger_06 said: King Arthur wasn't killed by Bretons, he was a Breton (kinda). The French must have been confusing them with the Saxons Unrelated but one of the funniest things about the Michael Bay Transformers movies is that King Arthur teams up with a giant dragon Transformer to fight the Saxons. England still exists which means that Arthur had a giant dragon Transformer on his side and still lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 14 hours ago, Armagon said: Most of the Kirby spin-offs these days are free-to-play. Nowadays, yeah. Certainly an off-putting change for me. Yet, in the earlier days, got: Pinball Land, Dream Course, the Puyo Pop radical localization called Kirby's Avalanche, Block Ball, Star Stacker, Tilt n' Tumble, then Air Ride, and Canvas Curse, and Mass Attack (and Epic Yarn if you want to count that thing which didn't begin development as Kirby, and was only later turned into a Kirby game). For a second-tier Nintendo franchise, when compared to the others, it's surprisingly a lot. Not as much as Mario and Pokemon, but a seemingly solid third place. Maybe it's b/c cuteness and unseriousness? Zelda and Metroid, while not devoid of experimentation, aren't as silly free to be wild as Mario-Pokemon-Kirby.

And those spin-offs also sell too. Zelda's few tries with spin-offs generally did not take off, even if Tingle has a whole trilogy. Granted, we have the Hyrule Warriors but that's it's own tier.

Codename Shrimp Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Red Garden bait, eh, Nasu? o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 o7 Shrimpy.grin After all the suffering, our heroes finally arrived at Dawn. The Herald of a new day. Of a new adventure. Of more trouble, suffering...and memories. Bro they even one up'd UBW with this ending, wth Nasu Same, Ciel! Even if i think some stuff was kinda ? at the every end, i am quite satisfied. Not to mention, Ciel finally got some justice! Go back to the original ending, cat xD There's a reason it was such a fucking meme xD o7 So how long you making us wait for Red Garden? Because there're still alooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of plot points open, alot of them exclusive to the remake, even. And how are you planning to one up Ciel True anyway? You can't have the 2nd route be the most epic of them, even if the far side routes are more on the mystery side (Althought Ciel remake satisfied mystery aplenty as well). ...Is it the Satsuki Route? Is that where they are putting in the Grand Finale? Because Ciel Route did have that Grand Finale of a VN vibe. Nasu cooked. He fucking cooked and i don't know how he plans to cook a better dish. And 4 routes still to go...i hope they are shorter lol. Although, even if Ciel route was like 60% longer than Arc's, i felt the pacing there was much better than Arc's. Dunno if because it was massively revamped or if it's really pacing and Arc suffering from classic 1st syndrome while being faithful to the original as well. o7 It was worth! That's all folks!

As an aside, KSSU also marked the beginnings of this fellow: Technically he was in the original Super Star as an opponent in Megaton Punch, but Ultra was Bandana Waddle Dee's first "real" appearance as a character. He was an instant hit with me and my friend group, and we were happy when he was included in Return to Dream Land. 22 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Does The Glorious runs three times faster, I wonder... The mira Ouroboros got from... somewhere was clearly well spent. 7 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: For a second-tier Nintendo franchise, when compared to the others, it's surprisingly a lot. It's probably because a) Kirby is HAL Laboratory's flagship franchise and b) HAL has enough resources to actually make spinoffs. IS theoretically could but they're split between FE, Paper Mario, and WarioWare. How many games a series gets mostly depends on if it has a dedicated development team. Nintendo EPD has eleven such teams, though we don't know what No. 1 and No. 7 work on. This feels like I'm talking about a mysterious anime evil organization. Donkey Kong in particular doesn't have a dedicated developer, hence why there hasn't been a new game since Tropical Freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The greatest mystery of Kirby- what is the relation of Bandana Waddle Dee to Sailor Waddle Dee, and both to Crystal Shards Waddle Dee?🤔 3 hours ago, Lightchao42 said: How many games a series gets mostly depends on if it has a dedicated development team.

Think on the bright side- you'll probably get a conclusion.😛 Can't say the same for everything out there. Wasn't enough that you had to sink Golden Sun, Dark Dawn, you had to do it on a serious cliffhanger with two-dozen unanswered questions.😑 Shenmue fans had their millenarian hopes raised, then razed beyond all belief.

Interdimensional Observer Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) @Acacia Sgt I discovered only today what is apparently two-months-old news.😅 It has been known for decades that the Earth hundreds of millions of years ago (720-635 mya) underwent total or near-total glaciation, what is referred to as "Snowball Earth". Where the entire planet -with the possible exception of a thin band of liquid water around the equator- was covered in thick ice. (One rendering of what it could have looked like.) The study from earlier this year clarifies what may have happened that triggered Snowball Earth. First, the Earth's atmosphere during that period ~700 mya had atmospheric CO2 levels that were below 200 parts per million, less than half of the modern 420 ppm and rising. Now, the reason I notified you of this, is because of what the study goes on to say. Only if the Earth were sufficiently cold already, could a Snowball Earth be triggered through the impact of a large enough meteor.☄️ And that, had a space rock of sufficient size struck during the Last Glacial Maximum, a mere 21,000 years ago (with 180 ppm CO2), Snowball Earth could've followed. It would only taken a decade or less from impact to result in sea ice 10 meters thick -at the equator.🧊 😛 Edited April 19 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned it before, but I do recall watching a few episodes of probably two different iterations of the series as a child. So young I was, however, that I paid zero attention to what was being said/happening, and have no true recollection of them whatsoever.😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
