@Akumabat
I love Doom’s complete reluctance in agreeing with Spidey on this. Like he inserted every criticism he could think of being landing on the conclusion that it is an apt analogy lol
@nintendolife
Does it ever get tiring to be negative, punching down on those that are not like yourself? I can’t imagine living a life where you’re constantly angry at others simply for being different.
I feel bad for you all. I hope you’re able to get closer to inner peace someday.
@Extralongdokkan
Frieza can survive in space, so his plan with Goku was simply to run the clock.
With Vegeta, dude was salty as hell that a Saiyan embarrassed him, made him train for several months only to lose to ANOTHER saiyan and attempted to rage quit lol

@NintendoAmerica
All of the sudden, that rumor about Nintendo moving the Direct date because of the Queen’s passing seems a lot more legitimate now.
@TheNCSmaster
I would say 2D to 3D was more of a quantum leap.
Having a transition where the entire video game industry changes seemingly overnight seems a bit more seismic in my opinion. I mean, we went from a D-pad, four face buttons and L and R shoulder buttons to a control stick that can
@Nintendeal
Damn, that’s rough. I hadn’t realize the original dialogue with Vivian was that heavy, for lack of a better term.
And before anyone says “woke” or “DEI”, this Vivian’s original character 20 years ago.
@SynthPotato
I think Mario got in because 1.) it’s the first new 2D Mario in 10 years and 2.) it’s a finished, fantastic game with no on-disc DLC, a rarity in modern gaming.
@ChiChi_Verse
Have you ever noticed how a lot of things were different in Super than there were in Z? That’s because DBS is more in line with Toriyama’s vision than Z was on a couple of major points. The characterization of Goku that we all know from Super is actually the same Goku from when
@alaskajere
Cool fact cat: a cat has an extra, larger olfactory behind its teeth, so when it has that gapping maw expression, it’s taking in a bigger Whiff of the scent. Meaning, Beerus is REALLY into Cheelai. It’s a extra cool level of detail that Toriyama is known for!
@Vanished_san
Super Mario 64 single handedly changed 3D gaming. No 3D game at that point was as large, controlled as well, and hit pretty much category with a perfect 10 quite like SM64.
There are games out on all three major platforms TODAY that aren’t even as polished as SM64 with its

Idk, he looks like an adult child here. I much prefer his Buu saga look, though the orange Gi doesn’t feel right. I know Gohan was supposed succeed Goku, but his Piccolo weighted clothing fits much much better, imo.
@NinEverything
This is a rivalry that is no more and is a complete relic 😭. If this were the 90’s, it would be all everyone would be talking about.
Gaming was much different back then. You think there’s tribalism now? Heh.
@AmongCloudy
@ScholarVerse
Buu towers over even Piccolo. Super Buu was a straight up unit, and what the American dub of DBZ failed to highlight the fact that he could have separately killed Goku and Vegeta at the same time. He was pretty damn strong. He was an issue lol
@WhiskeySlvrBall
@IGN
I haven’t watched the show, so I can’t argue with you at all. However, that seems to be the consistent feedback.
Just to clarify, I’m not defending or attacking the show. I just wanted to remind people that there are bots and paid accounts made specifically to pit us against
@Extralongdokkan
It’s absolutely crazy to me how so many people have only watched the 90’s dub of DBZ and are competing oblivious to what Toryiama’s vision of the franchise.
It’s the leading reason why so many fans are upset at things in DBS where it all actuality it’s been following the same
@SLOplays
Man, I know I must be getting old because now folks don’t even know that Videl can fly and use ki.
The Dragonball Z anime ended nearly 20 years ago and Videl debuted towards the end, so I guess it checks. But damn man 👴🏿
@SeanRossSapp
Miz going for a low blow, then adjusting his suit and nailing a Skull Crushing Finale is one of the most gangster heel moves as an underdog babyface I’ve seen in a while.

@enterzalman
I just realized, that’s what seemed so odd about the announcement. The cover was missing that classic Toriyama style.
RIP Toriyama—his presence is missed globabally.
@JayKay1sMyName
The name of the stage world on the left is literally called “Throwback Galaxy.” Nintendo hardly references old levels in their new games, so that’s why it works so well here.
@Chris_Dring
I respectfully disagree. Ninty was mocked endlessly when they nixed in person announcements in favor of the Direct format, (which is what both Sony and MS emulate) They are the only company out there that can announce a Direct with no warning and send the internet in a tizzy.
@SMGold_
I never got to read the comics so my only exposure was the 90’s cartoon. Bro, I used to HATE Scott Summers as a kid. I thought he was an uncool Superman wannabe.
Today? I’m kind of a fan, not gonna lie.
@EmperorBigD
The anime version definitely did Justice to this scene. I remember seeing this teased with new episodes of DBZ on Toonami and thought not only is Goku finally back, but who the hell is this other Saiyan I’ve clearly never seen before? I remember thinking he was a villain lol.
@Stealth40k
If this were 20 yrs ago, Nintendo wouldn’t have even been on this list. The fact that they as a publisher have more nominations than both MS and Sony is almost surreal.
If you’ve been gaming as long as I have, then you’ve definitely seen the rise, fall and rise of Nintendo lol
@KeyToAeris
I have been warning of a video game crash for years now and it’s finally coming to fruition. All of this and Nintendo is the only home console developer with 0 debt.
For those of you wondering what it was like when Nintendo was really the only major player in town, you’re about
@verge
People get excited when they feel like they finally have representation in a game, and then they get disappointed when that isn’t the case. It’s understandable. They also get upset when they feel like they don’t get what they want. That’s pretty much it.
@GoldenEraDoco
Goldeneye is a wholly completed game with no micro transactions and game breaking issues. It has 0 online presence and cannot receive firmware updates to fix issues and yet it’s leagues better than a game that came out nearly 25 years later.
@WrestleFeatures
Seth is at that point where he can do whatever he wants and can make it work. I love SFR because he literally goes out there and cuts loose, and then really gets in it when he takes the glasses off.
Any face that’s serious all the time could easily start getting boring with the
@jojo_wiki
We also should remember that technology in 2012 is much different than tech in 2023. I feel like this will likely be more possible. 4 of the 6 parts feature a CGI intro. Dragonball Super Hero was entirely in CGI and looked great. Fingers crossed for SBR.
@PhysicalMedia_
I’m excited because a whole new generation of folks will get to experience a fresh new take on this legendary sitcom.
Another fun side effect is that folks will go back and check out the OG.
Lighten up people, it’s comedy!
@toys_retro
In before wokeness—every generation of TMNT fans will say that the version of April they grew up is the best.
And for reference, I grew up with the 80’s April, but I think 2003’s April was an absolute badass.
@BasedPota18
Saiyan saga Vegeta was already strong enough to nuke Earth in a single Galick Gun. I believe it took Omni Man sometime to wipe out that one alien planet by destroying it manually lol.
If Omni Man fight the villains that Vegeta did, it would take no less than a couple seconds.
@Extralongdokkan
Team Four Star really screwed up the perception of a lot of characters. Krillin never stopped being a G—I don’t know where this idea of him being cowardly initially came from but he’s always been willing to rush into danger from Namek with Frieza to Super Buu on Kami’s Lookout.
@Otome_chan311
@mask_bastard
Not saying that she is. Samus is really the first reoccurring female protagonist in her own franchise, and is still relevant today.
@covrtn1
I don’t know why this argument still exists in 2023.
It made a little bit more sense back in the mid to late 90’ since at least in the US., dubs were notoriously awful as they hired virtually unknown VA’s with very little care towards the source material lol
@nintendolife
Nintendo would sooner close its doors then allow itself to be sold. MS tried this in 2001, and Nintendo pretty much laughed them out of the room.
@Keitsune_
While we argue about skin color, I’d just like to highlight the fact that Apocalypse is farther beyond mutants as mutants are farther beyond us all.
@DofuTheWhite
@IGN
I haven’t actually seen the show—I just wanted to point out that there are people who are out there who are trying to make us fight each other.

@JCLayfield
I think history will look back at you and say that you were the one of the last old school heels who existed in the modern era at the time. I think an exceptional example is how you helped set the tone for Cena’s legendary career.
In JBL we trust!
@SupermanEnjoyer
One of the most gorgeous suit besides this excellent Black Manta suit is Doctor Fate’s. Easily the cleanest and nicest hero suit I think!
@SupaChronicles
That bums me out. :( I’m not sure if he was more aware about his condition than we were led to believe, but this reads almost as a “if I can do this longer, than I think you’ll all love this!”
He knew he was in poor health, I just wonder how much he was willing to share.
@BlandrewYT
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Nintendo has been holding the industry on its back for since its release on. While Sony and MS were focused on PvP and cinematic storytelling, Nintendo has offered a diverse library of titles, and on the go or docked. That’s the fact.
@antdude92
I think I can say with 100% certainty and without hyperbole that this is the greatest generation Nintendo has ever had, EVER. And that includes the 16-but era.
And yes, I’ve lived through them all lol
Did you know that the SEGA Channel website is somehow STILL UP?!
Enjoy a piece of history kiddos—this is what webpages used to look like in the 90’s!

Goku gets serious in serious moments—this is a common trope of the main character of a showmen who’s pure hearted but can be kind of dim witted. Naruto and Luffy are prime examples.
@IGN
This checks, I memorized every R&B cry to the point I can name it without looking at which mon it is because I spent an ungodly amount of time playing it lol
@UAPmike
This is disingenuous—they’re talking about the pair of mummies that was found in an in a cardboard box in an Airport in Peru. These are not the same as the mummies unveiled la few months back.
This seems like a page right out of a disinformation playbook. There are two legit
@Scratch_Point_Z
Japan is a very homogenized country. If you’re looking for representation, you’re probably going to be disappointed. I don’t say this gleefully, I say this truthfully.
@AshofOurTime
If we (the West) got Dragomball and gradually got to DBZ, then perhaps we wouldn’t looking at Radditz this way. He really showed up and he marked the entire tonal shift for Dragonball moving forward, so if anything he should actually be iconic.
@Chaosxsilencer
Unreal Engine is not the one size fits all of game engines. There was actually a time where each game used their own in house engine designed specifically for games in the franchise, and was not uncommon to build a brand new one and abandon the old almost entirely.

@toys_retro
An honorable mention for Monstar from Silverhawks, for his transformation ritual I felt was just as badass as Mumm-Ra’s.
“MOON STAR OF LIMBO! GIVE ME THE MIGHT….THE MUUUSSSCLEEEEEEE…..THE MENACE OF MONSTAR!!!”
@dbs_10_10
One of the main appeals of Gohan is his immense strength and how it comes from someone who really doesn’t like to fight. Thats where all of the main shock factor comes from.
Gohan humbling Frieza, Cell, and Buu was surprising because Gohan WASN’T someone who trained religiously
@adammocklerr
I think if you engage and listen to people and humanize everyone you talk to, then you’ll get a civil interaction. I appreciate your patience and treating this gentleman with respect.
