Sega released an ad that was pretty much that "Sega does what Nintendon't", comparing Sonic Racing Crossworlds with Mario Kart World. Gotta love how, to avoid a lawsuit, the graphics for the "open world racing" is pixelated censor.

PocketPair announced Palfarm^[Which I hope is a real game and not just an out of season April 1st like More than Just Pals], with the textboxes being ripped straight out of Animal Crossing and even their own not-Ankha. For a company whose chief game is being constantly forced to remove features because of shitty patents, this feels like the perfect taunt and middle finger

Here's to hoping more companies decide to poke fun at Nintendo

I mean I have no actual respect for any of these companies. Their goal is money before anything else. Them "taking shots" at one another is meaningless to me.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed still holds up as, in my opinion, the best kart-racing game out there, for sure beating out all of the Mario Karts. Got high hopes for Sonic Racing Crossworlds.

Similarly, very much looking forward to Palfarm, assuming it's real (which it seems to be). Fuck Nintendo.

When it comes to Sonic racing games, I would actually prefer a Sonic footrace game, like Sonic R. I find it weird that the platformer footrace niche has been ignored by the gaming industry.

Anyhow, I look forward to trying out Palfarm. Never played Animal Crossing, so it would be good to experiencing that on my PC.

For an Animal Crossing-ish experience on PC, you can try Dinkum (indie, solo dev) or Hello Kitty Island Adventures (unironically good, but also limits some activities per real day, like AC New Horizons)

Palfarm's promo video is very elaborate for a joke. I think it might actually be legit.

I played the demo for Crossworlds and it holds its own very well. I'm not sure I want to drop 70 big ones on it though...

I'd play old Nintendo games, because you actually owned them without question. Modern Nintendo... you need to use a net to catch them and own them yourself (If you know what I'm talking about, you know). I've not played Sonic Racing Crossworlds yet, but I wouldn't mind trying it soon (it might be better than Team Sonic Racing, which I've played on PS4).

Except More Than Just Pals is actually being developed

Really? The community hub on steam has nothing ever since the announcement. I don't follow pocketpair on any social media, so there's that
