The note about Super Meat Boy kick-starting the indie revolution is so true. I genuinely remember that game being absolutely huge, and thinking "wait, this is an indie game?" because to my knowledge at that time, we'd never seen an independently developed and published game reach that insane level of popularity. Crazy to think how it's not uncommon for an independent game like Among Us to become the next big thing. Times have really changed

@FoxRNG Both of which released AFTER Meatboy (Meatboy in 2010, Minecraft in late 2011, and Terraria in early 2011). Super Meat Boy was released when Newgrounds was super hyped up so there was already an audience aware of the game and it really gained a following when it released. Indies have their big games now for sure, and this isn't to downplay Minecraft at all, but the note was "KICK-STARTing the indie revolution", not "continuing and improving on it"

I legit do consider those as separate series since they're considered separate by Nintendo too. Like, they only released Mario Land games portably (3D Land on 3DS, 3D World on WiiU and now Switch), and the land games have had different power ups and controls since it's inception. Yoshi's Island has been the basis for the Yoshi series of games ever since, including Story, Wooly World, and Crafted World.

The Donkey Kong Country series is pure and utter brilliance, from the music to the characters to the visuals. Everything about it is unmatched perfection. I know Nintendo is busy with celebrating Mario, Zelda and Pokemon anniversaries right now, but I would LOVE to see a celebration of Donkey Kong Country's upcoming 30th anniversary. It would be a dream come true to have all 3 original DKC games remade in the Tropical Freeze engine (or something entirely different) and re-released in a bundle of sheer awesomeness!

Both of those games are 2d platformers. 2d platformer is a genre not an art style so yooka laylee is fine despite having a 2.5D art style. And I don’t even know why you said “here’s mega man” when mega man X is very clearly a 2d platformer lmao

I do wish Jirard would elaborate more on what those new elements in Sonic Mania are. As someone who still plays the classic games regularly, I just don't see it. It's a good one-to-one recreation of the classic formula, but I don't see it as "the next step forward" as some people have said.

@@kirbyfazendoummoonwalk9214 Disagree with you on that one imo. Storytelling through world design, a game that branches off leaving you with the tools to choose how and where you want to proceed, with unforgiving combat and platforming, balanced by thousands of charm combinations to keep it refreshing. If anything could be faulted perhaps it would be the plot of lack of depth filled characters-but the white palace flashbacks, learning about the King and Queen and their five defenders, and the original hollow knight was enough to keep my satisfied. A unique art design and score, a lengthy full “campaign” for the 15$ price, not to mention there’s multiple amazing DLC for free....it’s undoubtedly worthy of the praise.
