@Cade_OnderKirby getting another fucking game while we haven't gotten a new 3D Mario game in almost a decade lmfao
@hdwmoviesTen years without a 3D Mario game is fucking pathetic I'm sorry. But hey at least we get our second 3D Kirby in five years!!!!! Fuck you
@Mitch_0202is this what the wiiu era felt like
@IntroSpecktiveIt’s obvious Nintendo is doing everything they can to make Kirby as big as Mario and Zelda globally, given his massive popularity in Japan As long as it means good games I can get behind it. But I get the frustration too. An entire decade of no new 3D Mario sounds impossible
@THawkMediaMario fans when litterally any other Nintendo property gets attention:
@Swag_K1RBYLMAOO WHAT IS THIS
@DaisyHuggingnintendo newgens if they actually experienced 1 nano second of the Wii U era:
@ExpandDong15This was also the Wii U era
@PlayerEssence@Mitch_0202 I covered the Wii U era and you have no idea what you're talking about. Wii U didn't even get a single mainline new Metroid or Fire Emblem game.
@GamesCage_I think what upsets me is I don’t like that 3D Mario is being treated dev wise like GTA. Like am I supposed to just expect that from now on a 3D Mario will come out once a decade? I was 21 when Odyssey came out and now I’m 30, like cmon 😭. I’m sure it’s gonna be peak but STILL
