  • Hell yeah. And then you've got one of those crazy hard story mode challenges where you pretty much have to destroy as many opponents you can to have enough juice to win. The one with Michael Chain and his gang.

  • Exactly, ear in particular was what I thought about. There are very tiny bones in there. I'm pretty sure they didn't replicate a functional human ear, so those have no impact on anything.

    Many bones in the hand and foot are also locked in place together, so modeling each one seems, well, I don't think it's a waste of time, but at this point you're making an art performance.

  • Probably F-Zero GX. Though I'm older than that, I wasn't playing racing games a lot before that. An older game I'd enjoyed a bit was POD (: Planet Of Death).

    I've played Mario Kart quite a bit, starting back with super, but I can't really pick one as my favorite retro racing game, because the one I like the most is 8. Though Wii came close.

  • It's clear they made this weird on purpose but still, so many questions...

    the robot hangs suspended from the ceiling as its limbs twitch and kick, marking what the company claims is a step toward its goal of creating household-helper robots

    Oh yeah, definitely a huge step in that direction...

    Clone Robotics designed the Protoclone with a polymer skeleton that replicates 206 human bones

    That's all of the bones of an human adult. Yeah, I'm sure absolutely all of them were necessary.

  • Not that extreme a time gap, but there was a shitty PS2 game in 2007 supposedly based on the first Fievel movie (1986). It had basically nothing to do with the movie and played like a terrible Super Monkey Ball for some reason.

    Someone saw a cheap IP floating around and thought they could sell slightly more copies through vague nostalgia. They're probably right too, they're not losing any sale from people who have no idea what the original cartoon was, and they might earn a few from people who recognize it and are curious.

  • Sure, but I think the key word here is quietly.

    They'll try to hide the most embarrassing stuff, long after the fact, but I wouldn't expect them to comment publicly on it. It'd be bad for their business.

  • But Groobo's record is still listed as the "Fastest completion of an RPG videogame" by Guinness World Records, which has not offered a substantive response to the team's findings (Guinness has not responded to a request for comment from Ars Technica).

    Of course they didn't. Guinness has never cared about being correct. People pay Guinness to have a record listed. The record holders are the Guinness records' customers.

  • It is, randomly happens in the festival plaza after the main plot. Honestly not that interesting despite the premise, there's barely any plot to be found, just the most basic excuse to have you fight a couple battles with past villains and it's over very quickly. They'd advertised so much around Rainbow Rocket that I was a bit disappointed.

  • I agree about the story part.

    Worst part IMO is that original SuMo had the most interesting antagonist the series ever had, and Ultra decided fuck that, let's rewrite that character in the most boring way possible and drop a random threat out of nowhere instead.

  • That would have been a correct way to do this, yeah. I've seen it done like that too, for example Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition has both port and original teams in credits.

    Going so far as removing a cool little ending song just because the video clip happened to reference the old studio is petty.

  • Not sure how much, but there was stuff missing.

    For example the filter that makes everything kinda blurry and dream-like, and a whole ending sequence video with a song, artworks and animations.

    Worst part is that video was not removed for a lack of time or anything, but just because it included credits and a logo from studio Clover. You know, the people who made the game to begin with.
