| Apr 29, 2018 8:03 AM | Dolphman | Asset: Miscellaneous | "The Software Toolworks"? What kind of game publisher name is that? *Facepalms* |
| Apr 29, 2018 4:16 AM | Doc von Schmeltwick | Game: Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt! | It's also a very ugly Sonic with a weird muzzle. |
| Apr 29, 2018 4:15 AM | Doc von Schmeltwick | Asset: Options/Level Select Menu Background | @beanluv Nope, Miles in US version. At least, it's been that way in every compilation that uses the US-based "GENESIS" in the title.... |
| Apr 29, 2018 2:34 AM | The Great Papyrus (Nyeh) | Asset: Heavy Magician | I can imagine that, near the start of Encore Mode, Sonic and co. find a pile of the Hard-Boiled Heavies, deactivated. Suddenly, the Heavy Magician powers on, floats out of the pile, tips her hat 180 degrees, the Phantom Ruby floats out, she revives the rest of the Heavies with it, and scoops the Ruby back up while putting her hat back on. |
| Apr 29, 2018 1:31 AM | Dolphman | Game: Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt! | Jazz Jackrabbit is more of a parody of the trend than playing it straight like the others. The comic in the manual even has a cameo of Sonic, demanding for his lawyer. XD |
| Apr 29, 2018 12:28 AM | ZetTheLegendaryHero | Update: Is It Finally Spring? Or Is It Summer? Who Knows! | ===================================================== Favorite Categories this Update: Arcade and Neo Geo / NGCD Honorable Mentions: Game Boy Advance, SNES, Game Boy / GBC, NES, Saturn, DS / DSi, 3DS, Genesis / 32X / SCD, Master System, PC / Computer, and Mobile. Special Mentions: Custom / Edited and Nintendo Switch Other: CD-i ===================================================== Well, my favorite sections on the site is the Arcade and Neo Geo sections. So, of course, I am going to love any updates featuring those sections. Featured on my top 10 consoles/computers/handhelds list are the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, and Genesis; so I'm going to also love update featuring those sections. I like the DS line for being the successor line to the Game Boy line, so that updates in those sections are always a plus. The Master System was the precursor to the Genesis (in both a business sense and a technological sense), so again that's a plus to any update. The PC / Computer and Mobile sections are so varied that the style, limits, and age of the hardware they are meant to represent span basically the entire spectrum. However, I can usually find a plus in these for any update they are featured in. The Custom / Edited section, I find a plus due to the fact that some actual art work had to be made (from either scratch or by modifying existing work). As for the Nintendo Switch, while I can't make any generalizations, this update was a plus. Finally, the CD-i... Well the CD-i was made because people wanted all-in-one multimedia devices, Philips, did exactly that with the CD-i. The CD-i was a game console, a CD player, a device that could play videos and view pictures on CDs, a reference machine, and an edutainment machine. People asked for that kind of thing at the time, but as it turns out, they weren't willing to spend money on it. The CD-i had some good games, but sadly it is mostly remembered as a console with bad games that featured Nintendo characters, and weird reference material. The story of how Philips got the license to the Nintendo characters is... Nintendo originally went to Sony to make a CD addon for the SNES, but that deal fell through (the prototypes for the SNES CD would evolve into the Sony Playstation). Nintendo then went to Sony's rival, Philips to produce the SNES CD, Nintendo gave Philips a license to the characters from its 2 biggest franchises: Mario and Zelda. This lead to Philips licensing out the Nintendo characters for its CD-i console. I believe that Nintendo also had to approve of these games in some way too. But either way, this lead Nintendo licensed games on the CD-i. The meme worthy three games: Hotel Mario, Link: The Faces of Evil, and Zelda: Wand of Gamelon. These titles seemed to be just money grabs banking on the Nintendo characters. One more Zelda title was produced for the CD-i, Zelda's Adventure. This game was far more ambitious, featuring digitized graphics, live action cutscenes, and a far more traditional style of gameplay for a Zelda game. However, due to the game being average, and the cutscenes being of badly acted, but not meme worthy this game would be forgotten. Those faults are mostly due the fact that the game had a far lower budget than the other Nintendo CD-i games. Also, time restraints and the skill of the team might have factored in. Two more Mario games were in development for the CD-i: Super Mario Wacky Worlds and Mario Takes America. Super Mario Wacky Worlds would have been a sequel to Super Mario World and would have played and looked much like a traditional Mario game, but sadly the game only made it to the Alpha stage of development, which actually has been found and has had the prototype game turned into a CD image file. Mario Takes America would have been a Edutainment game mixing live action footage and animation, but due to technical limitations on the CD-i, it ran into problems, and lost its license. No prototypes, screen shots, footage, or assets of this game exists online. Now, knowing all that... I still love an update with CD-i content. ===================================================== My rating for this week's Update: 10/10 |

| Apr 28, 2018 11:34 PM | Doc von Schmeltwick | Asset: Moogle | That icon looks oddly like the MPA Monty Mole icon... https://www.mariowiki.com/images/c/c8/MPA_Monty_Mole_Icon.png |
| Apr 28, 2018 11:34 PM | Void-the-Bat | Game: Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt! | Just seeing the title screen alone was bad enough. When he says he's Awesome, I immediately don't think that. Sure, that's his name, but it's like they named him that just to specifically allow him to say that. Definitely giving off that "trying to be cool in the 90s but not actually cool realistically" feel. I didn't even play the game, I only saw it in a Sonic the Hedgehog rip offs video featuring Dolphman's holy grail (AKA Jazz Jackrabbit) and a few others. |

| Apr 28, 2018 11:29 PM | Void-the-Bat | Asset: Font | Somebody needs to make a .TTF out of the Mr. Saturn font. |
| Apr 28, 2018 11:17 PM | Void-the-Bat | Asset: Hoot's Egg | Some people actually think this is a 3D model when it clearly isn't. (Also, are the squishy frames separate sprites or just the first one being squished by some effect?) |
| Apr 28, 2018 11:16 PM | Void-the-Bat | Asset: Start Screen | Finally, somebody that knows that the beta star sprite isn't from SMRPG! |
| Apr 28, 2018 11:03 PM | Doc von Schmeltwick | Update: Is It Finally Spring? Or Is It Summer? Who Knows! | Where I am, it's already a hot, wasp-filled nightmare. So basically Summer. |
| Apr 28, 2018 11:01 PM | Doc von Schmeltwick | Asset: Palutena (8-Bit) | It does XD Ah, oldstyle graphics and their weird interpretability. |
| Apr 28, 2018 10:52 PM | Gaia | Asset: Ultraman | Welfz, there's a few, but they are super deformed and region locked. |

| Apr 28, 2018 10:02 PM | SmithyGCN | Asset: Non-Playable Characters | I'm not sure... it's possible. |
| Apr 28, 2018 8:15 PM | Deathbringer | Asset: Palutena (8-Bit) | Mouth looks like a nose and underneath that looks like jowls. |
| Apr 28, 2018 6:54 PM | teh_supar_hackr | Asset: Wario | The green wario colour pallete looks freaky |
| Apr 28, 2018 6:26 PM | Random Talking Bush | Asset: Mario (2D) | @EmRuHire: Already answered by Marshi64 on the previous comment page, but it's used for 2P mode. |
| Apr 28, 2018 5:36 PM | Splatonic | Asset: Mario (2D) | Cappy eyes? Where does that come into play. |

| Apr 28, 2018 4:33 PM | Snessy the Duck | Asset: U & I Man | These sprites are surprisingly good for a bootleg sprite hack. Also doesn't he have more palettes than this? |
| Apr 28, 2018 4:09 PM | MisterMike | Asset: Palutena (8-Bit) | @Deathbringer Really? How so? |
| Apr 28, 2018 1:43 PM | LarsKusanagi | Game: Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition | I noticed something missing on the color palettes aside still no news on character select sprite rips. Willhemina's color palettes |
| Apr 28, 2018 12:44 PM | Splatonic | Asset: Sonic | I believe this is made to improve Somari. |
| Apr 28, 2018 8:05 AM | SonicHex | Asset: Badniks | i know this may be a stupid question, but considering that the r2 badniks where made by sega, shouldn't they be in this sheet? |
| Apr 28, 2018 6:33 AM | TheClassicGamer | Asset: Pong | Thanks this was very useful XD |
