Dunno why that's GOTY considering it's been around forever and is essentially the devs just saying, here kids, we got sick and tired of making mediocre platformers, how about you give it a try.

Mario64 and maybe Sunshine are the last games that even had a plot that made sense.

The Wii U was ruined by not having a Zelda or new Metroid game made for it. But that's just me talking out my rear end based on what I've read. My last console was a gamecube that I got in 2008 for 25 dollars. It was pretty good.

I'll buy a PS4 maybe if I get this fellowship I applied for. But then I need to purchase a TV.

Mario kills koopas, goombas, lakitus left and right, but nobody ever thinks to ask why? At least watch_dogs Aiden thought he was doing the right thing.

In this Super Mario Brothers 3D World, an alien creature comes to town and is taken by bowser (why, who knows why?). So Mario and friends go on a genocide simply to save this alien creature. It's the equivalent of E.T. coming to that kid's house, but then the military takes ET for testing, and the kid goes rambo killing all military personnel whether they were involved or not. How do we know if that goomba had a family? Is bowser truly evil? What is his motivation? Perhaps his first born was a small baby koopa that was mistakenly stepped on by Mario, or perhaps one of Mario's pipes malfunctioned causing his child to drown, leading him to seek revenge?

These are the concepts I'd like the Mario-verse to explore.

That's true. They're two of my favorite games ever and I've been playing them on and off again for months (and in BBs case over a year at this point)

You get used to it. I don't

Plot "matters" more in indie platformers and in games that are more action-y or adventure-y than platformers. That's basically it.

It's probably my favourite PS1 platformer, not that there was really a ton of competition on that console.

Platformers can have cute stories sure but you can still skip over them and the gameplay won't be hurt at all so they can also have bad stories and not matter

edit: Klonoa was a set of games that I missed out on but I always thought the mascot was cute

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I think the WiiU is a better console than the XBox One. Really, a PS4 and a WiiU are what should be plugged into your television, and if you can swing it, hook a computer up to the tele too.

Wasn't' there a Wii remake for it I think?

Also that extra bonus level after unlocking everything. Goddamn that is probably the hardest level and requires you to do some advanced techs with Klonoa to pull it off.
