In many ways its the weirdest Mario game Nintendo made because of just how little it borrows from where the series was before.

Its pretty clear Nintendo didn't really intend for 64 or Sunshine to be 100% completed. Its designed that you can skip missions you don't like or have trouble with. 

Not sure i agree that Mario is stiff in this game. In fact I would say he is quite the opposite. He controls very loosely. Especially when coming straight from 64 where Mario actually controls quite stiffly. 

Nope. Yoshi not at all fun to play as in Galaxy 2. 

Counterpoint. Mario Sunshine is very fun. 

The 60FPS patches of 64 on Rom hacks all look weird because its obvious the games animations were not made to run at 60 FPS. 

Since the Sunshine controls are now mapped to different buttons, they cut the vocal lines of Fludd saying what button does what to it just saying "button" with the text stating the correct Switch buttons. 

They consider the Shindou version the definitive version due to the bug fixes and the Rumble capability.

The uncut version of the season 1 finale is absolutely gut wrenching.

I imagine one reason is that Shonen series are more well known in the west so Dragonball’s influence is more widely seen as opposed to magical girl genre.

Wasn't the plan for a prequel movie about Uranus and Neptune that get denied and thats how he went off to do Utena?

It doesn't seem to have any connection. Assuming Robin is Tim, he is younger then his Arkham version and Barbara isn't crippled in this game. 

It was wildly xenophobic, and maybe thats the best all encompassing term for him.

Right now it is. Luck hasn't been implemented yet. Imagine it won't officially be added until Katrina shows up. 

At the moment I believe your son is actually right. Luck hasn't been added to the game yet so its just you eating shit while not being able to see. 

You also have that weird walking with dinosaurs movie that seems to steal the plot of both Land before Time and Disney's Dinosaurs, which also be incomprehensible due to the characters reguarly interacting with the narrator. And like twice stopping the movie to give dinosaur facts (and only like twice. It doesnt…

My guess is they wanted to keep the info to Blathers himself (I don't think he gives you a rundown on donated art. Its only in the exhibit) but yeah I find it annoying the info doesn't also appear in the exhibits. 

And then gave people the Zelda they claimed they wanted in TP and IMO it was overall a step back as a game. 

Hot damn I forgot how good the Zelda reveal is. The LttP vibes. Wind Waker is so good. Switch port of tfe HD remaster NOW

Easily the best version Ganondorf. They made him imposing and menacing while also relatable.
