I think that's more of a result of Sakurai going deep with this one. Cloud and Pokemon would be justified to have menus too, but they don't.
Anyway, microtransactions in F2P stuff would be my answer.

So there's that thread about surprisingly fleshed out Gameboy games, and one of the first posts has someone get confused and post Zone of the Enders: Fist of Mars. People had already corrected him that it's actually a Gameboy Advance game, but I thought to point out that it's not exactly "surprising" since it's essentially a Super Robot Wars clone by the original developers of that series, so naturally they'd have the expertise. But I had a meeting or whatever and forgot if I actually posted it, so I thought I'd check to make sure before I try to type it out again. Turns out that I actually did post it already. In April. The thread was actually just bumped recently and I apparently reacted the exact same way the first time it was posted.
I think that at least shows that I'm authentic.

I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a thread after the next one given that the next reveal will take up a lot of the posts, so that title will probably get its chance.
Probably not 400 pages worth.
Unless we get Fighter Pass 3 announced 👀
Unless the next character is months away I feel like the next one will be the last before we get kicked out into Hangouts
They can add a shmup rep, but to keep things balanced, everyone but that character has to get a ludicrous, massive buff so the shmup character can only persevere through flawless execution.
Oh, we will.
We will.
(I feel like there's probably a sad story behind this but I don't remember what it is.)
IIRC, it was actually that way on purpose as a joke and they shut the place down when other people started to post.

In happier news, I'm starting to come around to Psychonauts 2. The beginning is actually pretty friggin' boring and the writing is ultra stale, that comparison I made where it kind of felt the same between Ratchet & Clank and its 2016 remake felt apt, but as the characters interact and develop some more it not only recaptures some of that Psychonauts-brand sardonic wit and sinister underpining to the cast, it actually pushes Raz into pretty interesting places starting with the first real mental world that I'd never think would be explored.
It still feels like a very different kind of experience, Psychonauts was a game where the actual moment to moment gameplay existed more as a connecting thread to interesting character dynamics and set pieces, but "a very different kind of experience" is something I feel as a positive now, like what's happening here is an outgrowth of the concept instead of a divorce from why I liked Psychonauts as much as I did.
Anyway I'm going to start playing the Persona 2 duology before SMTV. I don't actually know why.

I don't think we've ever actually done this.

This looks like a move someone came up with as a joke, and they were like "ah, fuck it. We're keeping that one"
It looks like SpongeBob is just popping off. It's like a victory cry. Or a war cry. This should be in someone's emotes.
So I just learned that Ys IX is releasing next week on Switch.
Several months after it already released every where else in the world. No other Falcom game has done this.
Now I'm not saying this means Falcom in Smash, but...

Can't wait for Nick All-Stars Ultimate in a few decades, with 80+ characters, including guests from other cartoon networks (can't think of any good examples of a cartoon network, sorry). Finally, we can play as David the Gnome.
The omission of the Samurai Pizza Cats is why Tatsunoko vs. Capcom deserved to die and go to hell forever.
Gerald from Hey Arnold! is a shoo-in, surely!
He's in, but unfortunately with just two music tracks.
Slap City was pretty good. I don't think Nick Smash will be as good as Smash Ultimate, but it'll probably be much better than most Smash clones. At least it'll be entertaining to beat up children as Garfield for a few months.
Well, you'll be in good company cos there's likely going to be a lot of anger in the next thread.
My problem with the Nickelodeon fighting game is that, much like 95% of other Smash clones, it really seems like the people working on it have no grasp on animation fundamentals. Lack of strong key posing and good readable silhouettes has been a constant in everything they've shown so far.
I want to give it the benefit of the doubt, though, seeing how every trailer they've released has given a very bad look into the actual fighting mechanics, in part because they don't allow for the camera to remain static enough to parse anything.

TvC's western release was a miracle in itself and I'm still bummed they had to cut a character.

If Haruka actually happened, I think this thread would be stunned in amazement. Can't picture anyone being angry knowing someone with prophetic vision was a regular here the whole time.
If my understanding of what David the Gnome is is correct, I've had the (translated) original book as a kid. It was... a thing, alright. I think the text author would actually do some Kiryu/Sans-esque prevention from brawling if he was still alive.
I think anyone in this thread who might have been angry about Haruka making it has already been Stockholm Syndromed into acceptance, by now, to be honest. They might even be happy, now. Such is your influence.Well, you'll be in good company cos there's likely going to be a lot of anger in the next thread.
Even if the devs have a good pedigree (granted, I had never heard of Slap City until this game was announced, so I don't have a point of reference for this) I'm just put off by how the actual fighting looks, you can easily see the low-budget licensed game in it.
Not to knock the devs for that, they probably weren't given a whole lot of time to make it within, but the "hype" for a game that obviously won't be great is wearing thin for me.
