We're jealous of such talent!
Classic video game characters being reimagined in new and unique styles isn't always surprising, but artist Canadian Turtle's take on iconic Super Mario characters is nothing short of stunning.
By utilizing Japanese mythology, Canadian Turtle has given classic scenes from the Super Mario series a completely new lease of life, opting for a more adult-oriented approach whilst still maintaining the classic look and feel of the franchise. Our personal favorite is the gorgeous take on Mario defeating Gooper Blooper from Super Mario Sunshine.
Players are rediscovering classic games amid disappointing releases, shifting towards prioritizing quality and original experiences.
I don't think this article has it right at all. It's just a weird angle to take aim at games these days. Classics are classics and deserve to be gone back to no matter what you feel about today's games. Idk everybody wants to have a hot take these days and there's to much dumb sh said these days.
I've been playing more older games recently tbh, but was this made by an AI lol
Not sure how true this is but with more live service games you kinda have to look for older games at times to get that singleplayer experience. And games take so long to make now too. Look more into indie games there are some great ones that people pass only because it's not "AAA". I think this is also more true with older people. Young people rarely play/watch anything that is older than they are. We are just getting old man.
I've been playing through MGS again, and some classic Mario titles, but I'm still looking forward to and enjoying some newer releases. Stoked for DD2 for sure.
SEGA’s Second Division Manager, Osamu Ohashi, wants to surpass Mario by strengthening the Sonic IP.
Nah, Sonic is definitely iconic but it will never be at the level of Mario. Much less surpass it...
They can compete but Mario will always win. Mario and Sonic cater to different fans or fans who like both.
Sonic doesn't have to compete though. Both are their own thing, there's plenty of room for them both.
Thing is Sonic despite the bad games is still an icon as big as Mario, probably bigger cause he's seen more in media than Mario. More cartoons, more movies, more memes. So on that end he's good, they just gotta stop making bad games.
The Switch game, which was announced earlier this year, is a remake of a cult favorite GameCube title, and currently holds a placeholder release date of 2024. However, it’s possible that since the game is already beginning to arrive at rating boards, the release could come early in the year.
