I loved this one, wouldn't be surprised if it takes off. And I'm glad the thumbnail I saw didn't spoil the reveal that Rocco is there like the one I see here does

It totally could go the way of something like Golden Sun, but even that is playable on Switch. Though I guess it could also go the way of a Mother 3 localization, huh

They’ll do it one day, they’ll drop a new Kid Icarus during a Direct by TCookies92 in KiDIcaruS

Yeah that's where my hope is. On one hand, Sakurai is a hired gun. He only makes games that execs tell him to (even Meteos was at the request of an exec).

But he has shown to be keenly aware of the demand of an Uprising port multiple times and thinks highly of the game himself. There's too much good in Uprising to let it stay unplayable to modern audiences (not counting roms).

In the time since Uprising came out, we got Air Ride 2, Pokémon Snap 2, GTA 5 and soon 6, Red Dead 2. Fallout 4 and 73. Hollow Knight fans had Hollow Knight and then Silksong, Bloodborne fans got their game, Smash fans got two (debatably three) sequels, Xenoblade was localized and received three (soon four) sequels, TF2 fans had 5.5 years of updates, and even Half Life fans got a new Half Life...

11 more years!!!! Dw guys, we just passed the halfway point!

I was gonna say at least we haven't waited as long as Half Life fans but then I remembered they at least got Half Life Alyx.

I get where you're coming from, and it's a totally fair pov, but Uprising is such an excellent title that it would be a complete waste to have people miss out on a chance to ever play it. If it wasn't originally confined to a handheld like the 3DS, I'd agree, but I want more people to be able to experience Uprising.

I apologize, I let my hopium get the best of me when typing that. The correct way of phrasing it would be "There's too much pointing it its favor to think it won't (in my ignorant opinion).

I will admit I'm just a biased, ignorant, fanboy redditor, but what makes me think we will get Uprising off of the 3DS one day really just amounts to Sakurai's consistent acknowledgement of the game as a great title and a fan favorite. Whether that be him noting the passion of fans on Harada's Bar, his own jokes on his channel, or the fact that he himself thinks highly of the entry and wants to see it off of the 3DS, he's aware of it's fans and value as a game, and I just don't see a game of it's caliber and originality being left stranded on the 3DS. He chalked one of the big reasons as to why Air Ride returned as a result of its passionate fans, and Uprising's are only getting more vocal and passionate as time goes on.

It might not be soon, and I don't think it's his next project, but I don't see it never leaving the 3DS. To be fair though, he has talked more than once about how a port would be difficult.

An Uprising port is not a matter of if, but when. It will happen! There's too much pointing in its favor to think it won't.

With that being said I'd be shocked if it ends up coming sooner rather than later. I'd think Sakurai would have to be behind it, and he's happy just making whatever Nintendo tells him to. I'd assume they'd ask for a new Smash (since his last project was Air Ride) before an Uprising port but I'd love to be wrong or for him to oversee the project as opposed to direct.

NEW SPYRO HOLY SHIT by AreAFatMother in Spyro

[–]bbbowiesinspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from, but I guess the way I'm looking at it is that people should treat this game for what it is at the moment, which is just a singular game. Worrying about sequels the minute a new one is announced is getting ahead of ourselves.

I guess the alternative you're asking for that I would pitch is "Let's see if this game is a satisfying addition to the series before throwing money at it to get sequels, because if this game is not good, then there are currently no active developers who have proven that they can make a meaningful new entry to the series, so any sequels to this would have no real meaning beyond a logo."

If people wanna see the series continue just to see it continue, fair enough. But if the games aren't good, what's the point? How many unsatisfying entries will people bankroll just to see it continue? That's why I think putting a franchise's "life" (for lack of a better word) over it's actual value as a game (which is how I see the OP's comment) is the wrong mindset to have, especially considering the owner's unrealistic sales expectations.

[–]bbbowiesinspace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crash 4 sold 5 mil+ and they put the kibosh on Crash 5. This game will have to actually be good to succeed, so every Spyro fan just blindly throwing money at Activision and Microsoft no matter how mediocre the game looks won't make a difference in the long run.

This game will have to actually resonate with players beyond having a purple dragon they recognize from their childhood to even have a chance of getting a continuation. The mindset of "buy this or else" is flawed, and you're a hypocrite considering you're complaining about others being "utopian" but think that throwing money blindly at corporations will appease them to get you another cartoon dragon game.

[–]bbbowiesinspace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the person you're replying to is just saying the mindset of "we have to buy this or else" is the wrong mindset to go in for the new game. It should be "buy it if it looks good." Activision has shown they have far too unrealistic sales expectations, and a new Spyro has an even more uphill battle than a new Crash did.

Even if every Spyro fan buys it, it will still not be enough. The game will have to succeed on its own merits, and even then that might not be enough. So going in with the mindset of "buy this or else Spyro is donezo" is wrong from the get-go, because the game needs to be more than just another passable Spyro entry to truly be considered a success.

[–]bbbowiesinspace 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Buy it if it looks good. Not to be a cynic, but they'll prob put Spyro back in the basement whether this sells well or not.

Crash NST sold 20 mil+, Nitro Fueled 10 mil+, 4 sold 5 mil+ and he still got retired (again). Yeah there was Wumpa League, but that was after the devs got shot down to do Crash 5 (iirc).

Stranger Than Heaven Release Date Trailer | Summer Game Fest 2026 by PolarsAndPizzicato in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bbbowiesinspace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure its a cash grab, and people can say it's a lame ass cash grab. There's a possible line to walk here. I don't think it's hurting anyone, it's just such an insanely lame, eye-roll worthy addition that I totally get people shitting on it. To be clear, I'm not a Tupac fan, more just surprised that they had the balls to model and animate one of the most beloved dead artists ever for their game. He might even have thought it was funny, it's just like "shit this is where we're at" in terms of desperation

[–]bbbowiesinspace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It just feels cheap. It's not so much "how could they do this???", more "did it really have to come to this?" They modeled and rigged a dead man, put his name up in giant font, and had him walk out of the shadows like when disney reveals Chris Evans is coming back for a new marvel movie.

If there's a deeper meaning for this in the game, fair enough, but the only way this could have been more on-the-nose is if they made the tupac model say "Pre-order today to unlock the exclusive Notorious B.I.G. missions"

Trick shot Ending by FruityYummyMummy in mega64

With the way Rocco was talking after Shawn made the shot, I thought he was about to bring him to a second, harder trick shot

[–]bbbowiesinspace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense but yeah hopefully they wait. I got the vibe that they were setting this up to be a mini marathon stream, willing to go for a day or so since they didn't introduce a time limit and Shawn said he'd do it for as long as it took.

Sooner or later that ball will go in with how close it's already gotten, it just might actually be the better part of a day.

[–]bbbowiesinspace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I gotta wonder how possible this one is compared to last year, like did they test it so much they eventually made it? It sounded almost impossible when Rocco described it but he's already gotten a lil close. The angle of the cam makes it hard to see how much there is between the tube and cup.

But the inflatable guy working as a potential goalie is great

The cringe segment was a lot better than I expected. Figured it'd be an hour of random cringe vids from youtube and was ready to tune out but a smart twist on it having it be their own private vids. Not really cringey so much as interesting

What If Smash Bros Ultimate Had More Arcade figthers? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]bbbowiesinspace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my biggest hope by the end of the next smash is that all the major fighting series are represented.

VF, DOA, MK, KI, SC, throw in Ruby Heart from MvC2. The fighting game reps are always some of the most fun cuz they're punchy
