Get rid of the freaking crafting! I would've been fine with it if it was just for furniture, but after working so hard to get the golden tools, only for them to still break! Nah, screw that, I just want it gone completely now. Also, flowers, get rid of them too, the amount you needed to satisfy Isabelle in NH was actually obscene. Replace flowers with more Gators. I was so close to making "Crocodile Isle" but I ended up one short!

Stamina format tonight. Custom Stages from 7:30.

Yep, people on a family account only. Which means I get lumped in with @Dcubed, so I can't enter separately.

Nah. One playable character with a bunch of very boring weapons? A combat system where parrying is the only reliable way to play? Realism can suck it, Musou's are more interesting when they're wacky. I bought Dynasty Warriors 8 last year, that game has a snooker cue with magic oversized snooker balls as a weapon choice... Out of around 80 weapons. The variety is insane!

It still weirds me out that of all things, Zelda nicked the Wanted Poster running gag from the "Tales of" games.

Every Thursday? That's rich, coming from you.

Then this is effectively pointless.

That has to be a fire hazard, hasn't it!?

I'm also in the £350-£400 ballpark. Not sure I can afford that at launch, will have to see if I can scrounge up the cash. Much like @Hero-of-Time, there's not a lot of first party possibilities that I would be hoping for. Except for this bit, I think MH World suuuuucks, and the multiplayer offerings Nintendo have been putting out have been pretty damn stellar! It has the best Mario Kart, and Smash Bros. The Mario Parties have been absolutely top-notch too! So future entries there are currently the main draw for me. Other than that, more indies. Indies have been hard carrying the Switch for me. And I think Baldur's Gate 3 is a matter of when, not if. So I'll be in for that. And also, the at this point obligatory PMD game. Remake or new entry, don't care! Gimme!

Didn't they kind of already do this? See, they did do this.

Nice to see you fixed that mistake. I feel like the items as they are now would be far too chaotic to function well with double the racers. I wonder how that will be handled?

Player's Choice tonight at 8pm. Get as much DK in there before he's gone forever.

Not a fan of this Rare erasure. We just got K.Rool back to relevance! Don't snatch it away from him!

I suppose the signs were there when they edited Peach's face on the Showtime box art.

Because Metroid sells peanuts compared to Mario and DK. Nintendo doesn't price based on quality, they price based on how much they expect to sell.

My god, he's ugly! Mario Kart 9 already off to a terrible start...

Aww, you remembered. Or looked at the bottom of the forum page, same thing.

I don't know why this made me laugh so much.

Welp, that's the fourth on my ever increasing list of indie games I played randomly getting DLC years after release.

Well, at least there's that. I guess when you've played as much PMD as I have, you learn to live with the map. Because you likely won't be living without it. For what it's worth, the HD games don't have the map cover everything. It occupies one corner. It's not as slick as the DS/3DS ones, but at least they're putting that resolution bump to work.

Pokémon Company as a whole does whatever the hell it feels like when it comes to showing future products. Whether Nintendo has a new console revealed or not makes no damn difference.

Wow, that camera is really zoomed in! How do you even see anything ahead of you!? Anyway, I have talked plenty about Chunsoft's Mystery Dungeon. So no need to really repeat myself. It's bizarre, isn't it? There's been 5 PMD's, but only one of them (Super) actually tracks which Pokémon you've recruited, and it certainly isn't the main goal of the game.

I mean, you don't even need to go as far as Event mode. It is the same Lucario. Same voice actor and all. And they still use that voice in the other Smash games. Mewtwo is a weird one, though. It has actual spoken lines in the Japanese version. (Again, same voice actor as the movie) But it never got an English dub in Smash Melee, so they just took the Japanese voice, and removed all the actual words for other languages. Another funny Pokémon based one is Kirby. Kirby tends to do his voice impression shtick, even with English dubs, but one that weirdly slipped through the cracks is Jigglypuff. Charge up Rollout, and Jigglypuff says "Jiggly", but Kirby says "Purin" instead, even in English.

Yep, Melee really went all in on basing stuff off of the anime. Brawl dialed it back a bit, but the influence is still there. (Although Pokémon Trainer is clearly based on the games) I do wonder why they changed tack after Brawl? Pokémon characters still use anime style voices, but that's about it. Compared to Mewtwo and Lucario, Greninja and Incineroar are about as standard design as you can get. Although Smash Ultimate did make Greninja become Ash-Greninja during it's Final Smash, but the actual mainline games have since retconned that form out of the games, (Even if you transfer that special one from Sun/Moon to the Switch, it can't transform) so it remains to be seen whether Smash follows suit.

Yeah, probably should've gone with actual distinct characters and such, instead of subtle nods, and such. And yes, I did actually space on Pokémon Yellow, so four times.
