Which is funny when you know that a lot of Street Fighter's success came from Capcom actually taking suggestions/concerns from their Western employees seriously.

That's why I like Life and Time's of Scrooge McDuck. Some of the best scenes are him realizing that he's lost his family because of his greed and that he gets cursed for making his "first" dishonest dollar. Too bad he had to keep canon with Barks' stuff, so Scrooge is still a MEGA capitalist.

On one hand, the series would have only had two entries if Kitamura had his way. On the other, we need to celebrate Tokuro Fujiwara, Yoshinori Kawano, and Masahiro Yasuma just as much. Inafune gets the credit when these guys were the real guys pushing to keep the franchise alive.

Huh, he goes from dying from falling his own height in Donkey Kong to being able to leap distances longer that whole levels and be fine. Truly, a SUPER Mario.

America was going through an insane anti-Japanese period in the 80s/90s thanks to the Bubble Economy. If you ever wondered where all the hate for Pokemon came from, that was the real root.

Sometimes, you get a funny idea and realize you can just... DO stuff.

A photograph of the adult male Snow Rabbit from Sylvanian Family/Calico Critters with his exposed back facing the camera. He is looking over his left shoulder. On his back is an ominous red 天 (ten) Kanji on his back; evoking the famous pose of Akuma/Gouki from Street Fighter after performing his Shun Goku Satsu move.

Looking through my phone and I stumbled upon perhaps the silliest shitpost of a drawing I ever did for a discussion about Archie Sonic Echidna Lore. Feel free to use it when discussing anything about Pender-Echidnas. #Knuckles #ArchieSonic

A parody version of the famous Ancient Aliens Guy meme, but with Giorgio Tsoukalos and his study are replaced by Knuckles doing the same pose in front of the Master Emerald chamber from Sonic and Knuckle's Hidden Palace Zone.

The writing on the wall happened when a new Batman cartoon made by the same guy as the 90s Batman animated series was sold to Amazon Prime.

Honestly surprised that they are going to stop at 3 games and not milk it just a little bit more by making a fourth game that's just the final dungeon. We ALMOST got three games on three different console generations.

Negi-Hegi87 @negihegi87.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

This. Sadly, it's far more likely that the hatred (and the leaks for that matter) are purely from fans who put an unhealthy amount of thier mental wellbeing into the outcome of a web cartoon and are throwing a tantrum because they're not getting exactly what they want.

I guess electronic/car manufacturing brands for Showa and a bubble bursting for Heisei would have been too esoteric?

Which makes the squabbling between Sega of Japan and Sega of America all the more dumb. Without all the mutual self sabotage, they'd still be putting out million-sellers; especially since all the XBox tech would have probably gone to them.

Damn; "What if 'The Egg' was actually sad and fucked up? - The Comic" wasn't something I was expecting to see.

I've wanted the last fight to be Pirate King Luffy v Admiral Koby for years, but unless Koby ALSO has some wild beyond-mythic super destiny, it's probably just going to be Luffy v Blackbeard on top of the One Piece.

Man. I was just reading something about how most people who die suddenly don't scream; their body just lets out air, so it can just sound like a sigh. That's a realistic death sound Mr. Mario Mario just made.

Honestly, the world is so bonkers right now, I assume all it will take is convincing a certain ketamine-huffing techbro that beating him with a bat will make people like him again.

I figured it had to do with memory allocation, number of sprites on screen, and the limitations of the base Famicom. Wasn't SMB1 that most they could wring out of the base Famicom without mapper chips and later coding tricks?

Negi-Hegi87 @negihegi87.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Wait, I though it was "So, after having kids, my dumb ass went back into the Lost Woods, got LOST since I'm not a kid anymore, and turned into a Stalfos without ever teaching my kids any cool moves"?

Negi-Hegi87 @negihegi87.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

I was the dumb kid who dumped all his cards face down on the table and then grabbed enough blindly to reach 60. This sometimes worked. Most of the time, it was crap and I was essentially the free win for most kids.

The 80s were a wild time where you could call a bunch of weird 1-900 numbers, watch insane public access tv, AND be part of mail-order cults/secret societies.

The absolutely gut-wrenching thing is that it keeps getting worse.

Literally my favorite game in the series. Wish it had actually been finished before release, though. An actually completed Mega Man 3 would have been rad as hell to play.

"Peter Parker has only seen the 1992 Tom and Jerry movie" is perhaps the saddest out of all these possibilities.

Ironically, there is one theatrical short where the premise was that they were just doing it as a farce. even weirder is that they actually spoke in that one, too. It's "The Lonesome Mouse".

Nintendo: If you get Capcom to release this game, I will buy a Nintendo Switch 2 after the broadcast.

It also makes sense in the general escalation of fights. Goku literally with God to beat The Devil and his Son, and became the Strongest Man on Earth afterwards. Let the next threat be from space and make him an alien so it makes sense for the others to never catch up.

Sadly, a lot of channers are about to find out that just because they got turned into one of the main recruitment arms of MAGA doesn't mean that The Annoying Orange is going to have their backs. They have neither the money nor Anonymous to get them out of this. Hiro might just sell and bail on them.

Negi-Hegi87 @negihegi87.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

Lest we forget, Gainax's very first series was a giant mecha OVA that had segments dedicated to discussing the sci-fi mechanics of the setting AND highly detailed animation of breasts moving.

Hell, there's a whole lesbian threesome that's edited out of reprints of the original GitS manga because the author realized that people where there for the story and not the tiddies.

IIRC, Cruel Angel's Thesis was made because Anno wanted to go with some bombastic Russian classical music for the OP, but either the producers or the advertisers wanted a standard J-Pop song instead.

That does seem like a genuine failure on WB's part to not provide its main streaming service enough money to maintain the marquee properties of major brands they own to keep up viewership.

Genuinely insane that Max, a division of WB, has to license things from WB.

Alt-timeline where NEC bought SNK and Sega in 1993, releasing the Neo Saturn with genuine support as a true, arcade perfect competitor to the PS1. Xbox just stays a line of gaming PCs and the Dreamcast line takes it place in the 2000s. GBC gets real competition with NGPC and Digimon games for real.

An amber haired goblin witch riding a skull-helmeted, two legged dinosaurus monster. She is wearing a black leotard with a smiling sun on her pregnant tummy, over which, she wearing a purple cloak with a crescent moon pattern on the back, clasped with a crescent moon pendant . Her big purple witch hat has an eyeball on the band. Her legs are covered with purple and black stripped leggings and simple brown boots. She is smiling while sparkling magic flies from her finger tips.

A lot of GameCube's woes came from third-party companies still getting their revenge on the company. The biggest question for me is, did Iwata change enough of their corporate culture to be forgiven, or did third parties become too greedy to care about past scruples with Nintendo?

Negi-Hegi87 @negihegi87.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

Absolutely. People forget that the reason why the Switch had so many Wii U ports is that they didn't want what few good games they made for it sink with the ship.

In a very silly waste of my time, I've discovered that the only Pokémon that is naturally native only to the Kanto region is Cubone. The only *completely* native Pokémon is Porygon, but it's artificially created. I have other findings, too (19-21 Gen 1 evolutionary lines aren't Kanto native, btw)
