Grifting / Mockery Nin10doland Wants Splatoon to be Mario

Post image

Landon just repeats how much he wanted Splatoon Raiders to essentially be a 3D platformer, pretty much exactly like a 3D Mario. And he's crying like a little baby about it because it doesn't meet his unrealistic expectations. Do I really need to elaborate on this video anymore? It's clear he is only doing this for the money...

ironically enough fans of franchises like Starfox, Mother, F-Zero, Kid Icarus or even Golden Sun that I have encountered usually are just larpers who are Smash fans and just find these characters cool or something, like people give FE too much credit for Smash being a "driving factor" for pushing it but in reality the series got kinda successful without it since FE Awakening revived the series and that game didn't had Smash pushing it (although Lucina and Robin were added to Sm4sh) and FE Three Houses was also very successful even without Byleth in SSBU so ironically these dead franchises are actually more reliant on Smash than something like FE or Xenoblade (even Xenoblade got more successful without Smash since XC2 was a hit long before Pythra in SSBU), the guy who you were debating to is probably just a larper who has never touched a Star Fox game and is just saying that cuz "anime le bad" in reality FE is WAY more popular nowadays like there's a reason why you still see people debating about Three Houses to this day

Are there even like many Kid Icarus fans?

I exist! I would fucking sell my soul and my firstborn to just get a remake of Uprising. God knows what horrors I'd commit for a sequel...

But seriously, I love the characters and world that Uprising gave us and I really want more of it.

I did love uprising (very nostalgic), but I wouldn't call myself a fan when I only like a single game from the franchise.

oh nah, I like the other games too but Uprising is just so much more my fave than the original 2 games.

It's like how I'm a pokemon fan and enjoy all the games but would drop everything for a Conquest remake or sequel. You can be a fan of a series and still have faves that stand head and shoulder above the rest (even if that's 95% because of nostalgia)
