Summary

Scott Pilgrim EX is a spiritual sequel to a Netflix animated series from 2024, a Scott Pilgrim movie tie-in game from 15 years ago, and an underrated beat ‘em up series that debuted on the NES. Or to put it another way: Scott Pilgrim EX is deeply nostalgic, not for one moment, but for the breadth of the millennial gamer experience. Is that… fun? It will depend on your love of Scott Pilgrim, Rivert City Ransom, and the ongoing renaissance of a long-dormant genre.

He will be part-fighting type guarantee. Okay. You haven't? That is going to be a bipedal humanoid fighting, if I've ever seen one. Yeah, you haven't talked about the bulge yet, and that's really my biggest concern. I haven't talked about the balls because I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, man. Is Pombon two evolutions from now, from baby Pombon to whatever final evolution is, going to be rocking a massive

bowls. They gave Incenor a sort of chastity belt to kind of like cover up whether or not there's

anything happening down there, which I appreciate. I think it's a little bit more tasteful than

May Champ's underwear that he's just wearing. He's just wearing him.

He'll probably evolve into pants.

1:18.4

It's hard for me to get into your head sometimes fresh,

1:22.1

but I'm guessing, you're picturing kind of a Chowanyiki, like muscle man, glistening.

1:29.2

That's the dream, yeah.

1:30.1

That would be ideal.

1:32.0

1:32.2

I think Incenarroar is really like where my head is probably going because that's their
