Very glad I got to watch the Crazy Taxi run live. That was amazing! Laughed so hard when the music had to cut out when they went back to the menu or restarted $2,557,012 total is pretty impressive. Just about squeaked past AGDQ 2024's total. Very nice! Still have to go back and watch many of the VODs, but I doubt anything is gonna top that Crazy Taxi run -
I mean, you don't even need to go as far as Event mode. It is the same Lucario. Same voice actor and all. And they still use that voice in the other Smash games. Mewtwo is a weird one, though. It has actual spoken lines in the Japanese version. (Again, same voice actor as the movie) But it never got an English dub in Smash Melee, so they just took the Japanese voice, and removed all the actual words for other languages. Another funny Pokémon based one is Kirby. Kirby tends to do his voice impression shtick, even with English dubs, but one that weirdly slipped through the cracks is Jigglypuff. Charge up Rollout, and Jigglypuff says "Jiggly", but Kirby says "Purin" instead, even in English. -

Right, I weren't going to join in as most of the games will be playing are just going to be new Switch games, but at the moment there's not a lot I've seen that I'd be playing. So it would have been like two or three. But then I thought I'd include some GC games (as I've been able to play them using Dolphin) so I've been looking at some I never had and am wanting to play them. So I've got 10 here, top row are Switch plus one NSO N64 game, and the rest are GC games. OxenFree II - I picked this in a sale recently, well last year, as I loved the first one and this was like a couple of £ so I jumped on it then but have never got around to playing it just yet. Stray - I remember seeing this somewhere, and thought it was a neat little game and possibly right up my alley, but then seemed to forget about it. Came across it again recently and have now been looking to purchase it as it's usually only around £25 - £30. No More Heroes (1 and 2) - Right, so I picked these up from the eShop a few years ago when I had been given quite a bit of money on gift cards. They were in a sale and I had heard they were decent. I remember I started the first one but as usual with me, new Switch games get released and I move on to them, but for some reason I never came back to this. And I've never touched the second one. So I hope I can change that. Banjo-Tooie - I did actual start playing this on NSO when it came out and I think I've done the first two or three levels. I never finished this when I had it on the N64 (at least I don't remember finishing it) so I am wanting to give it a go again. Hopefully I can get back into it and give it a go. Onto old GC games. I never had any of these so am wanting to give these a go. 007 Nightfire - Of the 4 Bond games on. GC that I could see, this seems to be one of the more favoured ones. So I've put it on the list of games to try. I know nothing of it so will be going in blind. P.N. 03 - I remember seeing this in magazines and liking the look of it. I don't remember why I never got it, maybe it just didn't then get the attention I thought. But anyway, I've forgotten most of what I saw of it, but I've always wanted to give it a go. Eternal Darkness - Another one that passed me by. Well, I did get this as a Christmas present one year from a friend but I don't think I ever got around to playing it. I know there's a lot of stuff that happens which involved the memory card or time and something with a sanity meter, so I'm not sure how/if that still works in the emulated games. Either way, it was supposed to be good so I'm now wanting to get around to playing it. TimeSplitters: Future Perfect - Whilst looking up games I may have missed on GC. I came across this (along with TimeSplitter 2) and thought it looked like a game I'd enjoy. Know nothing of the games so will be going in blind. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds - I was a huge fan of the show but I never knew about this around the time I had the GC. Looked it up and it seems to be decent so I wanted to give it a go and see. So hopefully I'll get around to at least half of these. @Julius just so you can add me to the first post. -
I mean, some nods are definitely less subtle than others wasn't there a blurry poster or something with Pikachu on Ash's shoulder in SM? Not sure if it was USUM too though, as I didn't get around to those. And well, at least five times with the capped Ash's Pikachu events I mentioned too, then (and that's if we bundle them all together to count as one thing) How Pokémon is managed in Smash is so interesting for this reason, just with how certain Pokémon are (or used to be) clearly based on how they were presented in the anime, like @Glen-i mentions; had no idea about that Misty trophy in Melee (having never played it myself), so that's a really cool tidbit. I'm pretty sure one of the Events in Brawl was a nod to Lucario and the Mystery of Mew as well, the one where you play as Lucario on the Spear Pillar stage. -
Yep, Melee really went all in on basing stuff off of the anime. Brawl dialed it back a bit, but the influence is still there. (Although Pokémon Trainer is clearly based on the games) I do wonder why they changed tack after Brawl? Pokémon characters still use anime style voices, but that's about it. Compared to Mewtwo and Lucario, Greninja and Incineroar are about as standard design as you can get. Although Smash Ultimate did make Greninja become Ash-Greninja during it's Final Smash, but the actual mainline games have since retconned that form out of the games, (Even if you transfer that special one from Sun/Moon to the Switch, it can't transform) so it remains to be seen whether Smash follows suit.
