Whenever people say "hardcore video games", I immediately think of Japanese pornography.

Shit, as someone who watched that in its initial run, I can't believe someone actually posted it. You have no idea how rare it is. Norco only operates in one or two states, and while plentiful in my hometown, it completely vanished once we moved. A shame, since they were damn tasty. The internet didn't have even the faintest whiff of its existence until now.

The funny thing is, my memory vividly recalls an AoSTH-model Robotnik. To give it a little context, that show was still going strong at the time while SatAM wouldn't even air for a year to come, well after the promotion ended, so my six year-old mind didn't know any different. Looks like the producers indended an AoSTH tie-in but picked the wrong model. Which gives a scenario that would fit perfectly in that show a weird new light.

When Sonic reached backwards, I thought he was gonna swat the bulb, shattering it in Robotnik's ear.

That is like the best worst commercial ever. I think Robotnik's smile at the end is probably what sells me on it. He's totally a masochist, yes.

Do you people across the pond really call ice cream "milk ice"? I've tolerated a lot of shit from you people- I've put up with your superfluous 'u's, your "crimbo"s and your "cuppa"s, but that's about all I can stand. I just can't excuse your inferior English any longer.

I've never heard of it. I think it's legalese for "not quite ice cream".

Milk ice sounds like a description for the kind of stuff Mini Milks are made of.

We call ice-cream ice-cream.

I've never heard the word milk-ice before. The commercial's just retarded.

It makes me want to buy milk ice, so it must be good.

Kirby does not suck in things any more?

If you were made of yarn, you wouldn't be able to suck in things either.

As if Kirby's capability to endlessly inhale an infinite quantity of air and physical mass made any kind of sense previously.

It just seems strange for him not to have his main ability. What makes Kirby special now besides some ugly looking yarn and the artistic design of a baby girl's room?

The apparent lack of any "Kirby" mechanics is kind of off-putting. Not that every game with Kirby in it has to be a, y'know, a Kirby game, but it's still obviously a platformer that has the same sort of layout and (thread gimmick aside) art direction. I mean it looks just like a Kirby game except without the defining vacuum attack. It's like if they made a Mario game where you can't jump on enemies' heads.

Still looks awesome, of course, I'm gonna play it, but I wish they'd have used an original character rather than dipping back into the franchise bin. A very naive thing to request, I know, but at this point it feels like Nintendo's pretty much doomed to recycle its existing properties as many ways as it can from now to eternity.

The idea still feels entirely fitting for Kirby even if it doesn't have his sucking ability. I have no problem with it being a Kirby game.

I don't know... it still looks like a game about catching and firing back enemies and their projectiles. I think the difference -- lassoing them instead of sucking them in -- is largely cosmetic, isn't it?

You can jump on enemy heads in Super Mario 2.

And the yarn throwing looks more similar to how Yoshi shoots eggs. Kirby could never shoot in any direction like that.

Also visual design matters, or at least it does to me.

It matters to most people, it's just that you're the only one here who doesn't like the design of this game (who's spoken up about it, anyway).
