Oh yeah, I forgot you had the choice to play through Phantom Hourglass as Linebeck instead of Link. Come on, man. You know that's not a similar situation.

Not anymore. Ever since Pokémon Bank was a thing. Yes, but the data for the other Pokémon was till in the game, so you can transfer them if you wanted. Wow... What a selfish point of view. Also completely wrong. Every Pokémon has its fans. Even Stunfisk. I like Stunfisk. It has a dopey face. BTW, one of those Pikachu knock-offs won a World Championship. So it's way better than Pikachu. Buzzwole (an Ultra Beast) is legit one of my favourite Pokémon from Sun/Moon. It's super hilarious!

You misunderstand me here, I never use my Pokémon from previous games until I see those credits roll. And even then, I might wait until I've fought every trainer and such. In fact, I go out of my way to only use new Pokémon on my initial playthrough. It kills the variety for competitive play though. Restrictions are cool when they're a temporary thing to mix online tourneys up now and again. But a blanket restriction forever just sucks. Once a new Pokémon game comes out, Online tourneys pretty much end for the previous game. Which makes perfect sense. But it was never a big deal, because you could transfer your old Pokémon and implement some new Pokémon to switch up your strategy for the new metagame. Game Freak have to start outsourcing if it's too much work, because being able to catch 'em all is half of the appeal. Or stop making games that are remakes. One of them. I'd happily take a delay of it meant I could use a Totodile if I felt like it.

Oh right, that reminds me. Literal tears of laughter in my eyes after that beautiful blunder!

I'm hoping that the whole "Orchestrated" music in Dragon Quest XI for Switch came with some kind of deal that included Smash usage. Probably not how it works, but... Dragon Quest has some beautiful music and it would be a shame for it to get the same stingy treatment that Final Fantasy got. I'm quite hopeful about this because unlike Smash 4's DLC, the music is being used as the thrid big selling point of each pack. (After fighter and stage, obviously)

That was great, contact demolitions are just stupid. Next time, I'll put Friendly Fire on for even funnier shenanigans.

I can't! I'm dying! It's too funny! This one will have to be my last game though.

I think I made a Gravity a bit high there

I quite like Ghost Hunt mode. I'm not hopelessly unaware of my spatial awareness. After this, we'll try a few matches with some silly modifiers.

Nope, I'm just going off of the reveal trailer.

Yeah, I do, but my connection can normally run Smash, so I'm not sure why that is.

OK, @RedShell, I'm heading online now. @Sofiz, because you're using a PC, you'll have to let me know when you've booted the game up, so I can invite you. Any particular modes you want to play? EDIT: Never mind, you're already on, I've sent an invite.

Yeah, I remember seeing him show up in the original Necrodancer. So it's not too surprising.

Nominations are now closed 18 games got at least 2 nominations and make up our Gamecube shortlist. It wasn't quite as close as the GBA nominations, but this one isn't completely clear cut. It's funny how as time goes on, our choices of games vary more. Just goes to show how good we have it, I suppose. Voting must be done via Private Messages sent to me. This will help to prevent any possible tactical voting. You must choose 3 games and order them from your favourite to least favourite. It'd be great if you could explain why you chose a game in the PM. I can then use these in the article that will go up on the N-Europe front page. I will abstain from these votes and act as a tiebreaker. If two games tie, I'll decide which game comes out on top. Voting closes on the 22nd of June

Is anyone up for some games with @Sofiz and me tonight at 8pm?
