This was rude and uncalled for. There should have been lawsuits.

Yeah Yoshi being better than Link was retarded as fuck and just there to shill Yoshi Island

I finished DKC1 for the first time a year or two ago being a sonic fan my whole life and my jaw just fucking dropped when this showed up
>>
>>12538973
Well, the measure is collecting DK coins and Link can't even jump, so yeah... Yoshi would be better at that. And Sonic got disqualified after the first water level.

Why did they feel the need to also shit on Earthworm Jim? it wasn't even a Sega-exclusive IP.

Sonic shoes and Earthworm Jim gun in the NO HOPERS section.

>>12539089
was EJ1 even that big when it came out?
>>
>>12539094
Yes. It's just funny because both EJs were also on SNES, although they were the inferior versions and maybe that's what Nintendo was mad about.

None of these except the saturn objectively lost though. The SMS was niche outside NA, the genesis was a success, the saturn was a success only in japan but has appeal to arcade gamers and the dreamcast despite its failure is looked back on more fondly and it was more down to Sega's reputation that it failed and not an actual problem with the hardware itself.

lost everywhere (even Europe) except in shitholes like Brazil

Was competitive in the USA but only won Europe, flopped in Japan

Failed everywhere except Japan where it was a competitive alternative to the PS1 but still much behind in sales

what do you define as "failure"? this dumb console war faggotry image doesn't define it either because you can't, the dreamcast in retrospect didn't fail because it was both a great piece of hardware and fondly remembered despite its failure in the market. The genesis won where actual opinion matters, it didn't need to be a hit in japan because it was already successful enough to be remembered by the entire globe. The SMS didn't just fail everywhere idk where you got this from, i'm european and it was in plenty of my family's households and sold far better than in the states.

>rude
It was bongs doing "banter"
>uncalled for
Oh it was called for. It was a response to Dave Perry taking a jab at Rare by adding a mocking DK head on the EWJ for Sega CD.
Look at it like this: at least Rare were cool enough to do a good render of Jim's gun. Perry just slapped a low resolution, low color, wrong ratio'd DK head and called it a day.
>>
>banned
Looks like I triggered a janny, lol.
>>
>>12539089
Earthworm Jim has a bunch of idle animations. One of them has his head transform into a caricature of Donkey Kong. They started it.
>>
The only obscene part of this image is implying that the throwaway cartoon character of Earthworm Jim is on the same level as gaming icon Sonic the Hedgehog.
>>
>>12539089
Boogerman being referenced as being anywhere near either is the most damning part
>>
>>12539298
I don't really think that's a boogerman reference. It's just a trash can in order to emphasize mocking Sonic and EWJ
>>
I don’t think any of this is remotely mean spirited whatsoever. Miserable cunts
>>
>>12538964
Kinda sad this slight is probably the most relevance Earthworm Jim has these days.
>>
>>12539142
No in fact the editor descriibed it as being "Great!".
>>
>>12538964
Go be a faggot somewhere else.
>>
>>12539208
You didn't get 1st place, you lost
>>
>>12538964
Even as a Sonicfag, I find this funny. I think such a thing only happened because Rare was involved.
>>
>>12539134
If you played SRR as a kid and actually, seriously attempted to finish it you would grow a life-long grudge towards that game.

Do you think Nintendo has to pay royalties or negotiate anything to Microsoft because of DKC2's numerous Killer Instinct references? Were they edited in the virtual console releases or does Microsoft not really give a shit?
>>
How about the game that didn't allow you to pick "Sonic" as name?

I worked in trademark law for about a decade and most companies will not bother doing anything about this because it costs more to look into and enforce than to let go.

I don't believe they were edited out. One notable edit in future releases was tmnt 2 for the nes and its rerelease which removes the pizza hut signs. SInce thats obviously referencing pizza hut, logo and all.
