Da Dude

Sup, I'm Da Nintendude. No, I'm not the competitive Smash player. I'm just a dude that likes Nintendo.

@team_boy777 I like the black eyes better, but I think it'd be fine if they kept the green eyes.

Most of my random changes are stuff I don't care one way or the other. I mostly just want proportional changes and better detail/rendering.

More realistic hedgehog would be cool, but too drastic

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

This isn't perfect but it's vaguely how my ideal Sonic design looks in my head.

His skin should be fur and his head should connect to his body better. I also gave him Diddy Kong's eyes.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

@neoizzyfishii I'm inclined to agree.
I really didn't like Frontiers' bland realistic environments, and some of the better animated Sonic projects as of recent solve most of my issues.

I do think his proportions could be tweaked, but overall, it mostly just needs better rendering and animation

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

Addendum:
Since it's fur in my design, the strip that separates his eyes doesn't have to be the same shade as his muzzle, it can be lighter.

Also, this isn't necessarily an expression Sonic would do, but here's his eyes fully exposed.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

To clarify, this is just for his 3D models!
2D is perfect as is.

I really like Sonic's appearance in Sonic Boom, and part of my attempt here was to get a bit of that, with the smaller hands and messier quills.
I would like Diddy eyes, but they're the thing I care least about.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

@mowthemownew It's not a joke.
I know it's not gonna resonate with most people (especially the eyes).

When I play Sonic, my biggest issue with his design is just how plastic he feels. I don't think he needs to be ultra detailed, but I would appreciate more detail within his design.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

@neoizzyfishii If they're gonna put him in realistic environments like Frontiers, I think it's necessary to smooth out the cartoon elements. He looks great in 2D, but not in 3D

A lot of that is just in his animation and rendering.
The eyes are not really necessary, that's more a personal thing

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

@neoizzyfishii When (3D) Sonic's eyes open wide, his mono-eye looks like a big glass orb.

I think Sonic's design would look better if it was a bit more grounded. Since his eyes flatly wrap around his head, giving them depth would look bizarre. Diddy's solution allows the eyes to remain flat.

Just found today that it's Summer Game Fest, not Summer GAMES Fest...

The frick??

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

I never ever switch off of my Mii pfp on my Nintendo account, but they added Donkey Kong (GameBoy) icons, so I had to switch to DK Jr.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

@misterduby They've got all the Super Mario Kart jukebox songs, so I'm guessing they'll do a game at a time. Hopefully once every week or so.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

June is thr month of Cranky Kong.
The future is bright.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

@Mogswamp been wanting sleeping bags forever but always thought they'd be a little overpowered. Making them consumable fixes that issue and makes it something you have to use tactfully, unless you have a ton of em.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

@VinesauceClips This stream was my first introduction to the meme and even well over a year later, I still frequently think "I can't stop drinking oil. I just can't stop, I can't stop drinking crude oil."

@Flores_Rotas_ Original character named Pirate Mike

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

Here are all my Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Miis so far.

12 of them are based on fictional characters.
12 of them are completely original.
Perfectly balanced.

@mega64 When I first watched this skit, the bit at 1:02 killed me.

The "that makes a lot of sense" is delivered so well.

[Da Dude @DaNintendude]

@SenderwalkTest I was already moderately excited for the game, but it has far exceeded my expectations.

I genuinely can't believe how good it is. It's an experiment gone incredibly well.

[Seándwalsh @SenderwalkTest]

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is by far my favourite Yoshi game. It's genuinely a blast to play, the level concepts are top-notch and the presentation is phenomenal.

It's a little bit sad to see people writing it off as "baby slop" without giving it a chance.
