This guy is criminally underrated. There are RUclipsrs in this genre with millions of subs and none of them have one ounce of the talent this guy has in his little finger
Couldn't agree with you more. He is literally the best writer when it comes to games journalism. He is so good at guiding the viewer and can see things for what they are as well as seeing them from the "fanboy" perspective too. Best in th biz
The best thing is that he’s done more than this. Creating a whole animated series, producing concept albums, and organizing game jams. The talent certainly isn’t limited to this or that. Part of the struggle is also finding the drive to consistently innovate while fighting your own flaws and dealing with a fickle online ecosystem. It’s all certainly admirable.
Remember how 10 years ago Kyle would compare Nintendo's actions of the time to a big, dumb elephant? This feels like a beautiful rhyme at the end of a decade long stanza.
They’re not quite homonyms. The final vowel of “Dokuso” meaning unique is elongated, so it’s technically “dokusou,” whereas the word meaning poison is just “dokuso.” Putting that “u” after the “o” looks awkward so it’s often left off when romanized.
That question answers itself when you finally go a day or two voluntarily without playing the game. It happened to me. I feel like I’ve seen enough after 250+ hours. Still have 2 temples to do lol.
I just came across the word dokusou (独創) this week in my Japanese studies. I had no idea that specific word was one of Nintendos guiding principles. What a weird coincidence. The service Jisho translates it as originality. While these past years hasn't been stellar for Nintendo when it comes to games that expresses originality. I think if you look at the literal meaning when you read each kanji by itself. I would read it like self (doku) and creation (sou): self-creation. specific meanings being Alone/spontaneously/single/(Germany???) (独) and Genesis/start/originate (創). I think that really encompasses Nintendo with always going their own way. Sometimes stubbornly to their own detriment. But often in a way that brings success in an unexpected fashion. While Super Mario Bros Wonder by itself does not look very Dokusou to me. The fact that they still insist on creating 2d mario games and market them as their big mainline game is unheard of compared to other games publishers and is very Dokusou to me.
That makes sense to me. Nintendo makes what they want and we all take it or leave it. There was a time in gaming where 2D/3D mascot platformers were to games what first-person shooters were in the 2000's. Nowadays, platforming games in the major developer space is dominated almost entirely by Nintendo with the occasional Sonic game here and there. Nintendo really only iterates on themselves, and it works because even if nothing has really changed in years, even games that are heavily inspired by Nintendo games don't feel like a Nintendo game.
独創 (Dokusou) with a long sounding o means Originality. What you searched for was 毒素 (Dokuso). Nintendo should have made more effort when they put the word into romaji.
独創 ど く そう Do Ku So U When transliterating from Japanese to English. The sounds that extends the length of the syllable is often left out. For example, if you directly transliterate the characters for Tokyo and Osaka: Toukyou Oosaka For a native english speaker without Japanese knowlege the odds are they'd pronouce it "more incorrectly" with the actual spelling. Another style is to use the line on time to indicate a longer syllable sound e.g. dokusō
At first i thought the wonder bar was a progress bar showing how the whole presentation was going to turn out with the ups and downs. The idea of knowing what was coming made me feel -- low wonder. Then i realised it was a bar to show how each item made you feel individually and the excitement of not knowing what was coming made me feel -- high wonder. Then i realised if all it was, was a 1 to 10 wonder scale bar why was there vertical waves at different heights? The unimportants of the waves on the wonder bar made me overall feel -- moderate wonder. I can't wait to see how your next famous wonder bar video turns out, but please make the bar more wonderful.
The new WarioWare is actually a direct sequel to Smooth Moves, even being called “Super Smooth Moves” in Japan. That said, Nintendo deemed ARMS a success & even included Min Min in Smash. While Ring Fit Adventure sold over 15 million units (more than any Splatoon game).
However, Wii Fit also sold way more than any Splatoon AND more than Ring Fit, HOWEVER…! “Nintendo Switch Fit” does not exist. I hope there’s an Arms 2. Much the first Splatoon, the first Arms feels like a promising first draft.
Yeah, Kyle's brief side-comment on Ring Fit is totally wrong. It's in the top 15 Switch games as far as all-time sales, and #8 in Japan -- despite shortages when it was most popular. And that's for a game that you had to pay $20 extra for the ring! Guaranteed to come back in some way in the future. I'm actually surprised they haven't taken advantage of Ring Fit's success to release a $10-20 DLC pack on Switch with new workouts etc -- would sell huge and be so easy to do.
Kyle Bosman is one of my favorite people on RUclips. I’ve watched his content since Gametrailers. Definitely should have MANY more subscribers than what he currently has.
Wild, Bosman... That Star Ocean game was MAXMIMUM wonder. Every classic rpg can be remade this way and I wouldn't mind forever. Shit looks gorgeous, even down to the portrait art for these characters. You right about everything else, tho...
Kyle, one of my favorite videos you made back in the day is the big dumb elephant bit where Nintendo during the Wii U era didn't made any game fans expected, Nintendo just walked forward saying "Is good to be me!" When I saw Mario elephant I was convinced you were going to tie that joke with this video. I guess that but was too obscure by your modern audience.
Really funny, that, since Mario and Zelda games are so predictably formulaic. It's not really the games themselves that are original, just the way they do thoughtful level design keeps the surprises coming
Just to clarify on "Dokuso", although it's spelt the same in English they're pronounced differently in Japanese. Dokuso (独創) meaning originality should really be spelt 'Dokusou'; the 'o' sound is extended at the end of the word. Dokuso (毒素) meaning poison ends with a more abrupt and sharp 'so' sound. You can also see they're both spelt with completely different kanji.
Kyle missed out on the SNES RPG generation. Watching his FF6 Pixel Remaster replay, he was pretty quick to mock Brandon Jones and anyone who rated FF6 over FF7. Bit of a chip on the shoulder on that topic.
@@glungusgongus I respect your opinion. Bosman actively mocked his viewers who stated the opposite. Just pointing out why the guy seems to think ‘top-down view’ means inferior game. 🤷♂️
@@glungusgongus I still haven't played FF6 for myself, but it always seemed more grandiose and original of a story than FF7, which was just coasting off of Akira trends and didn't have the balls to make Xenogears the true FF7, which likewise was hugely more original and ambitious. FF7's story just comes off as a bit incoherent, and it was still early days of how to translate JRPGs into a 3D environment, so there was a lot to improve on. FF6 is the peak of the 2D JRPG era and shot for the stars and seems to have delivered and go beyond on all fronts within that standard. FF7 was like Ocarina of Time, the first of its kind, but certainly not the best when sequels would improve on its basis within that 3D standard
0:53 Yeah Kyle, I absolutely get you, its an absolute wonder when I'm exploring the underground, I see a big shadow and wonder "Wow, what will this be?" and I encounter my 17° Talus. Or when I pick a rock to find my 361° Korok. A total wonder.

Wow! I didn't know you were still making videos Kyle! Glad I found your channel and immediately subscribed! What I wanted to say, I got a little bit emotional watching Iwata again. I didn't really follow Nintendo and the Directs when he was still alive. Living throughout the Switch and even though in all its glory and hype. It still misses something essential. The lighthearted silliness and goofiness Iwata brought to these Directs. The actual head of the company putting so much passion and love into addressing the fans and playerbase. That's something so special and unique which I feel doesn't really happen anymore. Bless his soul.
I’m gonna need a full episode dedicated to explaining this weird Olympics eSports situation in which no one in the actual games industry was consulted.
It's weird cause it's just a remake but Super Mario RPG is the most excited I've been for a game in ... possibly years? All I've been thinking for the last two days is "I want it now!"
Felt same way, it looks like exactly what I would want it to be, same game, same gameplay, just looks amazing. But! The key here is, they built the framework to continue the series if it does well. That is how I would prefer it done, bring back the real deal rebuilt with current codebase, maybe yeah add some post-game content or maybe some DLC if you want it. But then seriously consider making a sequel that can take some risks on changing how it plays new features/characters similar look/design. The music is getting re-done too, can't wait.
As a person that prefers 2d Mario games over 3d Mario games, Super Mario Wonder looks like it controls like classic 2d Mario games and not like New Super Mario Bros. For me New Super Mario Bros series was the worst thing they did to Mario and did not enjoy any of those games. Wonder's art style is a bit better than New Super Mario, but the controls are the most important part for me, still need to feel it for myself.
I liked new super Mario alright, but I agree that it was vastly inferior to the original games. It felt like they eliminated challenge and made the whole thing slipperier so that it could be a multiplayer game that didn’t take much thought. I really want a return to World, which has the deepest mental game in the series so far and was legitimately challenging.
I get why Nintendo didn’t make a lot of new IPs for the Switch because the Wii U wasn’t a successful console for Nintendo so they pushed their beloved franchises like Mario and Zelda and Kirby and Metroid and Pokémon to a new spin to stay pretty relevant to consumers to buy the Switch and they did pretty well. Also I think there will be a sequel to Ring Fit Adventure because it sold a lot of copies. Hope you’re feeling well Kyle
Arms, LABO, Astral Chain, Ringfit, is about good enough I imagine. They were all received relatively well and sold well enough. But the problem is, all those studios making those games are also working on multiple much bigger franchises as well. Hard to crank out new IPs, when Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Animal Crossing etc, need their new entries as well. I think they may need to invest in more partnerships though, but most third party for hire devs are either dead, were bought out, or are basically porting houses these days.
@@ruekurei88 Maybe Nintendo should invest more partnerships to make new games or let their developers like Monolith Soft or Next Level Games to make their own unique games because I would love for them to do that.
@@JDefective Monolith Soft does make their own games. They were rumoured to have another action game coming out on Switch, but that's probably been moved over. I've never seen NLG even attempt a new IP that was decently large scale. Most of the new IP stuff I've seen from them were smaller scale. I don't even know what sort of games they'd attempt to make if given full rein and not tied to Nintendo IPs. They do have other studios they still do collaborations with though, but as usual, they bomb and no one remembers them for the most part(Code Name STEAM and Ever Oasis, Pandora's Tower, Disaster Day of Crisis etc). And again, MonolithSoft and NLG are both working on multi-million selling franchises on their own already. I do want to see that action game that Monolith Soft was rumoured to be working on though.
@@mrburger I am watching the same video because Kyle mentioned in the video there hasn't been a major slew of Nintendo New IPs for the Switch and I'm telling the supposed history as to why Nintendo did not make a big dokusou splash for the Switch. Hope that happens for their next console. Also, I know Kyle is already good at video games like The Legend of Zelda because I have been a fan of his work since 2015 and I know his least favourite Zelda game is A Link to the Past.
@@ruekurei88 Arms was such a missed opportunity. If it hadn't been so barebones, I could've seen it being almost as big as Splatoon. Lack of stuff like story, other modes, dlc characters kinda left it doomed from the get go.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the Resident Evil remakes past RE1 are re-imaginings, not remakes, and invented new strengths to replace old ones. There is and always will be a place for what Super Mario RPG is doing, that being a perfect recreation of the old product's strengths with some additional polish.
Thats just making up your own definition of the word "remake" - it sounds like in your mind that remake should be something that is shot for shot the original... whereas remake is really just to make something again. There is no hard rule that says remaking something has to be the exact same as the original. I can understand that's what someone would want, but that doesn't mean these examples are not remakes.
Looking good was one of Super Mario RPGs strengths to begin with, and it doesn't have that. Watch the video again, slower this time. Pay close attention to the words being spoken.
I think Super Mario RPG is too much of a niche for it to get a FF/RE reimagination style remake. The one-to-one recreation is enough to satisfy the fans.
I can say for me. Who played this game in the early 2000s for the first time. I've never viewed this game as something that did push the envelope graphically. I had already seen FF7 when I played this for the first. This remake looks to 1:1 capture the original style. If they don't mess this up I think this will be the definitive way to play this. As a fan this is exactly what I want. But I agree what Kyles sentiment. This would be more in the style of an HD remaster rather then a remake. Though it may be a nitpick. There are similarities to this and Myst(2021) where they went from having prerendered 3d sequences of the original game to actually have the game running real time in 3d.
Have to look at that and is correct, it looks like the journalists screwed up the write of the interviews since they said: Dokuso (look at 2:23). And it looks like the culprit here was the final "o" since is write as "ō", not sure what the symbol means?, but I'm going to guess that is a way to pronounce "ou" in a word.
As an elder statesman gamer it really bothers me that the FF remakes don't include an option to play in the oldschool turn based style. I LOVE that Mario RPG isn't messing with the formula. I say take notes SquareEnix, this is how you do a remake of a beloved RPG.
Kyle doing his own thing makes me so happy! I've been a huge fan of him since Final Bosman and couldn't stand certain people I found annoying on easy allies.
Having Luigi's Mansion 3, one of the best looking games on Switch, it's hard to go back or be excited for the 3DS port even though it has been visually upgraded
15.38 million sales (as of May 2023) is what Nintendo reports. That's Top 15 and maybe even Top 10 for Switch game sales, and selling for $80 USD. I'd call that a major success for a new IP.
@@glungusgongus The game itself seems good and made with quality, but it is fundamentally not what I would consider an acceptable remake. Not just because of the completely different gameplay concept, but the story changes, and the fact that it is an incomplete release that is being stretched to a probably decade-long development time experienced as a new game at each increment. They don't even continue off each other, you'll basically be level 1 each time, so there is not even a feeling of game progress continuity
He just seems to want remakes that aren't actually remakes. Or actually ARE remakes, depending on your definition of remake. Not just a graphics overhaul, but changes to the entire gameplay mechanics and even changes to the story so that it feels wholly new again, so that it accomplishes what the original accomplished in its day. But that is never gonna happen anyway, since we now are familiar with all these characters and how the story is generally going to go, and that should be a reboot's mission statement, not a remake's, if you ask me. ReBOOT is like what Mortal Kombat 1 is doing, it's not remaking MK1, it is diverting from its conventions entirely (at least story and character-wise)
They took the "New" off the New Super Mario Bros. logo, but they still kept that same font of the New Super Mario Bros. logo... If this is a whole NEW Super Mario Bros. from New Super Mario Bros., it demands a logo with its own font that evokes wonder
I'm just mad Dokuso was the reason Miyamoto gave for not having a new F-Zero many years ago - what can they do that is new? - and then we get a more drugged out 2d Mario, we get a new Pikmin (and you can have night missions! and underground! wowie!)
As cool as it is that they're doing a modern coat of paint for Mario RPG, and I'm happy people are excited for it...c'mon. The game is a 1:1 translation with zero creative liberty taken. Not to be a negative Nancy but they could've done SOMETHING to play it a little less safe.
Something about a tired looking, low energy guy in a turtle-neck breaking down Nintendo news is both disturbing and strangely familiar at the same time. Like the vibe is weird, but it's also exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to see.
Ok I'll be blunt, I don't think the Dragon Quest Monsters game has quite as much budget as it needed to, but it gives me a lot of wonder! The protagonist is the young version of the villain from DQ4, I'm asking myself why this guy? Why that chapter? I think I've baited on this game.
I expect the DQ4 stuff flew right over his head. But if the game relies on previous series familiarity for its sense of wonder and can't have that come across in the trailer itself, that probably would feed into his point anyway

I know Google is probably wrong, but the idea of Nintendo’s guiding principles being simultaneously “unique” and “spiteful” is spot on and hillarious
Google's not wrong, they're just homonyms.
They’re not quite homonyms. The final vowel of “Dokuso” meaning unique is elongated, so it’s technically “dokusou,” whereas the word meaning poison is just “dokuso.” Putting that “u” after the “o” looks awkward so it’s often left off when romanized.

独創 (Dokusou) with a long sounding o means Originality. What you searched for was 毒素 (Dokuso). Nintendo should have made more effort when they put the word into romaji.
独創
ど く そう
Do Ku So U
When transliterating from Japanese to English. The sounds that extends the length of the syllable is often left out.
For example, if you directly transliterate the characters for Tokyo and Osaka:
Toukyou
Oosaka
For a native english speaker without Japanese knowlege the odds are they'd pronouce it "more incorrectly" with the actual spelling.
Another style is to use the line on time to indicate a longer syllable sound e.g. dokusō
Yes, the 毒素 どくそ (dokuso) he mentioned in the video were different kanji characters
The part that I liked from Super Mario Wonder is that it seens that they removed the time limit to complete the stage.

Ring fit adventure is definitely coming back. It is widely successful.
Just to clarify on "Dokuso", although it's spelt the same in English they're pronounced differently in Japanese.
Dokuso (独創) meaning originality should really be spelt 'Dokusou'; the 'o' sound is extended at the end of the word.
Dokuso (毒素) meaning poison ends with a more abrupt and sharp 'so' sound.
You can also see they're both spelt with completely different kanji.

I really want a return to World, which has the deepest mental game in the series so far and was legitimately challenging.
Thanks for this perspective. NSMBU was so floaty arg
Their next announcement needs to be Metroid Prime 4.
i highly disagree with you're ''remakes should change the camera angle'' take.
I get why Nintendo didn’t make a lot of new IPs for the Switch because the Wii U wasn’t a successful console for Nintendo so they pushed their beloved franchises like Mario and Zelda and Kirby and Metroid and Pokémon to a new spin to stay pretty relevant to consumers to buy the Switch and they did pretty well.
Also I think there will be a sequel to Ring Fit Adventure because it sold a lot of copies.
Hope you’re feeling well Kyle
Arms, LABO, Astral Chain, Ringfit, is about good enough I imagine. They were all received relatively well and sold well enough. But the problem is, all those studios making those games are also working on multiple much bigger franchises as well. Hard to crank out new IPs, when Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Animal Crossing etc, need their new entries as well. I think they may need to invest in more partnerships though, but most third party for hire devs are either dead, were bought out, or are basically porting houses these days.
@@ruekurei88 Maybe Nintendo should invest more partnerships to make new games or let their developers like Monolith Soft or Next Level Games to make their own unique games because I would love for them to do that.
@@JDefective Monolith Soft does make their own games. They were rumoured to have another action game coming out on Switch, but that's probably been moved over.
I've never seen NLG even attempt a new IP that was decently large scale. Most of the new IP stuff I've seen from them were smaller scale. I don't even know what sort of games they'd attempt to make if given full rein and not tied to Nintendo IPs.
They do have other studios they still do collaborations with though, but as usual, they bomb and no one remembers them for the most part(Code Name STEAM and Ever Oasis, Pandora's Tower, Disaster Day of Crisis etc).
And again, MonolithSoft and NLG are both working on multi-million selling franchises on their own already.
I do want to see that action game that Monolith Soft was rumoured to be working on though.
@@mrburger I am watching the same video because Kyle mentioned in the video there hasn't been a major slew of Nintendo New IPs for the Switch and I'm telling the supposed history as to why Nintendo did not make a big dokusou splash for the Switch. Hope that happens for their next console.
Also, I know Kyle is already good at video games like The Legend of Zelda because I have been a fan of his work since 2015 and I know his least favourite Zelda game is A Link to the Past.
@@ruekurei88 Arms was such a missed opportunity. If it hadn't been so barebones, I could've seen it being almost as big as Splatoon. Lack of stuff like story, other modes, dlc characters kinda left it doomed from the get go.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the Resident Evil remakes past RE1 are re-imaginings, not remakes, and invented new strengths to replace old ones. There is and always will be a place for what Super Mario RPG is doing, that being a perfect recreation of the old product's strengths with some additional polish.
Thats just making up your own definition of the word "remake" - it sounds like in your mind that remake should be something that is shot for shot the original... whereas remake is really just to make something again. There is no hard rule that says remaking something has to be the exact same as the original. I can understand that's what someone would want, but that doesn't mean these examples are not remakes.
Looking good was one of Super Mario RPGs strengths to begin with, and it doesn't have that. Watch the video again, slower this time. Pay close attention to the words being spoken.
The way Kyle sang "this is" and goes right back into it. Perfect.
I think Super Mario RPG is too much of a niche for it to get a FF/RE reimagination style remake. The one-to-one recreation is enough to satisfy the fans.
I can say for me. Who played this game in the early 2000s for the first time. I've never viewed this game as something that did push the envelope graphically. I had already seen FF7 when I played this for the first. This remake looks to 1:1 capture the original style. If they don't mess this up I think this will be the definitive way to play this. As a fan this is exactly what I want.
But I agree what Kyles sentiment. This would be more in the style of an HD remaster rather then a remake. Though it may be a nitpick. There are similarities to this and Myst(2021) where they went from having prerendered 3d sequences of the original game to actually have the game running real time in 3d.
Maybe, but remaking it like FF/RE would likely make it interesting for a much larger audience, so Nintendo kept it niche on purpose.
its dokusou, not dokuso, thats why you didnt find the correct translation
Have to look at that and is correct, it looks like the journalists screwed up the write of the interviews since they said: Dokuso (look at 2:23).
And it looks like the culprit here was the final "o" since is write as "ō", not sure what the symbol means?, but I'm going to guess that is a way to pronounce "ou" in a word.
@@Totavier ō is equivalent to ou. It basically means a longer o sound.
Just like people mixed up Wii and WiiU
@@Zamzummin
Thanks for the confirmation!, normally in my native language (spanish) we don't have that symbol, either I saw it in english.
Great way to start this day off, coffee just went on… thanks Kyle!
Every time Kyle says "this is" I simultaneously think of the song and how The Lock Picking Lawyer starts every video. Anyone else?
Me too!!
Ring Fit sold well over 10 million copies. A sequel is just a matter of time.
RingFit Adventure sold like 15 million copies. I’d put my money on it coming back at some point.
As an elder statesman gamer it really bothers me that the FF remakes don't include an option to play in the oldschool turn based style. I LOVE that Mario RPG isn't messing with the formula. I say take notes SquareEnix, this is how you do a remake of a beloved RPG.
Does anyone know how we could get this guy to at least half a million subs? I can't live knowing this amazing content has a very niche audience
I kinda like it that way. If this channel blew up and became huge it wouldn't be the same
That opener was fucking hilarious Kyle
Finally, I was waiting for Kyle to tell me how to feel about elephant Mario
You don’t feel about elephant Mario. Elephant Mario feels about you (with his trunk of course).
Generating new demand in an area that is not bare necessity is what drives innovation.
@johnmcfadin1951 ooh something will be done about climate change. Nature will heal on our corpses.
Xbox’s number one problem. “Hey guys here’s some Japanese games!” Switch, PS5, and PC: 👀
Bro, Ringfit sold 15 million units, it's absolutely coming back
Every single time i hear that car horn i laugh but i DONT KNOW WHY ITS THERE
Kyle doing his own thing makes me so happy! I've been a huge fan of him since Final Bosman and couldn't stand certain people I found annoying on easy allies.
That opening got me straight away,
Something told me he’d be more attracted to a game with Dark Prince in the title, for some reason.
Having Luigi's Mansion 3, one of the best looking games on Switch, it's hard to go back or be excited for the 3DS port even though it has been visually upgraded
Great episode again, but just wow, that entire final segment is just gold
Gotta say Kyle, when I saw you bust out the turtleneck, I was expecting a new Gamescom song. 😅
Lol, Ring Fit is definitely coming back. The game sold better than most games on Switch, PlayStation or Xbox.
15.38 million sales (as of May 2023) is what Nintendo reports. That's Top 15 and maybe even Top 10 for Switch game sales, and selling for $80 USD. I'd call that a major success for a new IP.
I had to stop chewing my chicken pad thai when you mentioned the esport Olympic events.
I lost my appetite. 😢
The Peach game is like Puppeteer(PS3)
For me is Wonder Plus
Thanks for remembering Puppeteer. Awesome game, but it completely flopped for Sony.
The sports thing is on point. What were they thinking... honestly.
FF VII Remake is the ultimate example of how a remake shouldn't be done. Everything about this remake gleams with mediocrity.
Damn straight fuck FF7 remake. Good combat tho
@@glungusgongus The game itself seems good and made with quality, but it is fundamentally not what I would consider an acceptable remake. Not just because of the completely different gameplay concept, but the story changes, and the fact that it is an incomplete release that is being stretched to a probably decade-long development time experienced as a new game at each increment. They don't even continue off each other, you'll basically be level 1 each time, so there is not even a feeling of game progress continuity
A new Kyle era is upon us.
that backround tho great episode kyle
Kyle was right that his SMRPG take is definitely bad LOL
He just seems to want remakes that aren't actually remakes. Or actually ARE remakes, depending on your definition of remake. Not just a graphics overhaul, but changes to the entire gameplay mechanics and even changes to the story so that it feels wholly new again, so that it accomplishes what the original accomplished in its day. But that is never gonna happen anyway, since we now are familiar with all these characters and how the story is generally going to go, and that should be a reboot's mission statement, not a remake's, if you ask me. ReBOOT is like what Mortal Kombat 1 is doing, it's not remaking MK1, it is diverting from its conventions entirely (at least story and character-wise)
We will get Astral Chain 2. I dont care when I dont care how, that is going to get a sequel.
Nintendo bought the IP from Platinum, so that makes it seem like they want to do more with it in the future.
Thanks for being Kyle once again! It's great when you do that
They took the "New" off the New Super Mario Bros. logo, but they still kept that same font of the New Super Mario Bros. logo... If this is a whole NEW Super Mario Bros. from New Super Mario Bros., it demands a logo with its own font that evokes wonder
Balan "Wonder"world. Never forget!!!
Turtleneck arch?
Awesome as usual Kyle! Super Mario Bros. Wonder doesn't have the "New" part in the title though.
Dragon Quest Monsters is such a good series. I hope people will give it a chance
I don't always agree with you Kyle but I can never deny that you do bring the most unique wonder of any RUclips channel.
I'm just mad Dokuso was the reason Miyamoto gave for not having a new F-Zero many years ago - what can they do that is new? - and then we get a more drugged out 2d Mario, we get a new Pikmin (and you can have night missions! and underground! wowie!)
I can’t wait for Mario Wonder! Looks so fun!
As cool as it is that they're doing a modern coat of paint for Mario RPG, and I'm happy people are excited for it...c'mon. The game is a 1:1 translation with zero creative liberty taken. Not to be a negative Nancy but they could've done SOMETHING to play it a little less safe.
1-2 Switch! is a new IP and it got a sequel. Also I wouldn't dismiss the idea of a Ring Fit 2, that game sold like crazy.
4:56 This hits different when you've seen the Detective Pikachu Corruptions
10:22 I've never seen someone so ...violently? FIRMLY proclaim that something looks like a lot of fun before. Gamer Eminem's scary today
Great emotions were experienced while watching this video
yer but must people that wont Super Mario RPG dont want changes so i can understand why they did that
Something about a tired looking, low energy guy in a turtle-neck breaking down Nintendo news is both disturbing and strangely familiar at the same time. Like the vibe is weird, but it's also exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to see.
Ring fit actually sold pretty well I heard
I love the new backdrop, it feels cozy.
Ok I'll be blunt, I don't think the Dragon Quest Monsters game has quite as much budget as it needed to, but it gives me a lot of wonder! The protagonist is the young version of the villain from DQ4, I'm asking myself why this guy? Why that chapter? I think I've baited on this game.
I expect the DQ4 stuff flew right over his head. But if the game relies on previous series familiarity for its sense of wonder and can't have that come across in the trailer itself, that probably would feed into his point anyway
