Mega Man. Digimon. Smash Bros. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect manchild. But God added an extra ingredient to the concoction: autism.
Mega Man has always had subtitles in its sequels... in Japanese. Rockman 2: The Mystery of Dr. Wily, Rockman 8: Metal Heroes, etc.

Dual Override is fine as a subtitle, but they're out of their mind if they think I'm not calling it Mega Man 12.
I'm mad that it isn't called Mega Man 12, are they stupid?

holy moly
In the Forest Secret Area in Super Mario World, there are three 1-Ups after the goal that seem impossible to collect without flying, as walking through the goal destroys them. However, there is an extremely simple trick to get them every time: simply press L before touching the goal.

idk who needs to hear this but it's gift card season and all... so as a reminder, Lowes and Home Depot set up automatic license plate readers at every entrance to their parking lots and they funnel that information directly to the feds regardless of trivial ideas like "the 4th amendment"

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?”
Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.”
Snowy is very excited about the drink he has found.

Mario Party contains an obscure "underwhelming victory" scenario. Normally, the winner is celebrated with a special cutscene and declared Superstar. However, if no stars were obtained, no cutscene plays and all the winner gets is text saying "YOU ARE WINNER" before the game ends.

I had high hopes that since they remastered the 1st, they'd try to live up to it in some fashion, but they only lived up to the graphics (and kinda fumbled the "technology" that made 1 so impressive)

It still has plenty of time to fuck up though so I'll update my opinion as new facts are presented.
Basically the preemptive hate for the game was overblown as preemptive hate almost always tends to be.

It's not the kind of game that I'll want to go back and play again when I'm done, which is a very Prime series problem to have outside of the 1st. But this isn't really unexpected given 2 and 3.
But it's not like it forces you to stop having "fun", or that the gentle reminder call is even obtrusive - it's at the bottom of the screen and I don't know if it's voiced (if it is, turning off voice acting was the play of the century), you can just ignore it and go be Mach Rider.

Its obnoxious to be dicking around in the huge desert (which is worthless and bad, to be fair!) only to get called and reminded what location you should be going to every 10 minutes. I'm trying to enjoy the "open world" you shoehorned into this game, why tell me to stop and go progress the plot?

There was a lot of strife regarding the additional characters but overall the game doesn't suffer from it - a lot of this might be that I turned off voice acting upon seeing the option.

The real problem isn't the implementation of these systems but that they exist at all, which is an industry thing

Just to clarify, I mean this in the least derogatory way possible. There's an air of complete nonsense to the plot that feels out of place compared to previous entries, even Prime 2's ridiculous setting.

Every item being the "Psychic" version of a previous item is such unintentional comedy.

and I swear if he's that nerd fuck from the start of the game that everyone despises I am going to go nuclear.
its gonna take me eons to get around to playing Prime 4 so two things:

1. If this game blows, I will not be shocked but I will be defeated.

2. Sylux better explode into atoms without ever having his face or actual motives revealed because they are NOT sticking the landing after 20 fucking years
