I think it's so there's a color difference between every character. Maybe some playtesting with 4 players revealed that it was easy to confuse Toad and Mario on screen with Toad's proper color palette, so they swapped him to blue. Can't say that's definitely it, but I think it makes enough sense.
It totally is! Also (not in repsonse to your specific comment, but the blog itself), it's a totally new game, not a port of the arcade game. It's a really fun arcade-style racing game that I sunk entirely too much time into. Review plug time:
I'd be up for a Let's Play on Dark Souls. Of course, I've already played it, but I've enjoyed your other videos in the past.
Chris and I will be playing through the Dark Souls II beta come tomorrow, so we should also be doing some official DS coverage for the site. I'll be sure to give your vids a shout-out if you do wind up creating them!
A Tingle Collection would be awesome! I have Rosy Rupeeland, but I'd love to get the sequel to that and the Balloon Fight game all on one 3DS cart.
Outside of that, I think I'd rather have a game that stars Ganondorf than a remake of any other games in the series. Though it could also be interesting to see a Sheik/Zelda game that takes place during the events of Ocarina of Time.
Haha, man, I didn't think anyone actually caught episode 80! Hope this one was worth the wait!
Yeah, man. I can't believe it's been this long either. I think we're going to try and make this a more regular thing, so stay tuned for more PixlTalk!
Glad you got to check out the episode - I didn't even realize that we didn't introduce ourselves... sorry about that! For reference (for anyone else), I'm the one who is "hosting," Jason is the one who interrupts everyone with sarcastic remarks, Joaquim is the excited/positive one, and Chessa is the one who has the filthiest mouth :).
Anyway, here's a link to my Killer is Dead review. I loved the game and I think it's the same old stuff Suda has always done, so take that for what you will.
Hahahaha, that RDR story is priceless! I absolutely love that game as well and feel similarly apathetic to all GTA games outside of Vice City. There's something so incredible about its portrayal of the Wild West. I devoured that game and will never forget the amazing treks into the wilderness and the random events that resulted.
Glad you liked it! We had a lot of fun putting the episode together. Hopefully we can get another one off the ground next week.
Medievil II for a buck!? You got a great deal! Those games are definitely great, so I'd say you done good.
I went a little game buying crazy this past month myself. Didn't spend much, but I did get a boatload of games. Gamestop's been dumping low priced stock via some great sales and I've really bolstered my PS3 and Wii collections as a result. Might grab a few more DS games in the current B2G1 if I can figure out who has what.
