@EaglyTheKawaiiShika oh my goodness I need to see your reaction! It just sounds so, not scooby, but I guess they needed to find some IP to attache there crappy ideas to.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika That just shows you how bad the show is, it’s crazy that so many people can come to the same conclusion from watching the the episodes, usually it’s more spread, even she hulk got some love here and there, this is just getting trashed on so hard!

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Okay, I tried working out that love shape's shape out on paper but I think it's impossible to draw. (At least just using the google translate hand write thingy.)
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Sounds about like how the main site used to be back in the day. If you dig for some older articles, those comment sections definitely had less activity. I've been following NL fairly regularly since around 2011 when looking for Skyward Sword news. I just didn't bother making an account until 2015. I don't think Push Square has ever had much forum activity tbh. If I had a horse in PS, I'd likely use it more often. But my Nirnendo systems with an occasional PC game thrown in are more than enough for now.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I think this is the year of the Videogame movie curse getting broken. The Mario Movie looks good, the Last Of Us series is doing fine, and the Gran Turismo movie looks awesome.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Ah, right, thanks for elaborating. Yeah, PushSquare does seem a lot more serious than here. I've sort of been trying to get into more stuff that isn't anime, so you've been a godsend in that regard.

Good thing I saved this in a notepad file so I don't lose this post. Nintendo Life, keep the Hammer Bros. out of your server room, please! The servers can't handle the tossing hammers.
@Sunsy Yeah... I agree for sure! I felt loved by Mario and all of his friends, lol. <3
Yeah, I guess that's just the nature of ads in general. They pretty much advertise whatever they want and whatever's current. I pretty much just buy whatever I want, lol.
I actually went ahead and watched a few videos on YouTube that show Double Dash's LAN/broadband gameplay. Yeah I don't think I'd expect that feature to come back if it does make it to NSO, and they'd just have the good old split screen multiplayer. Did you know that 8 Deluxe has LAN play, as well? I found that out soon after the game originally came out, but like with Double Dash, I never tried it.
Yeah, Nintendo's probably planning out their next console ahead of time so they don't make the same mistakes they did with the Wii U. If it turns out to be the Switch's successor, with better hardware and backwards compatibility, I think it could do well. The GBA and the 3DS pretty much followed that route, and they both did great, despite both not selling as much as their predecessors, the original Game Boy and the DS. They've had a very strong track record in regards to their handhelds, and the Switch is classified as both a home console and a handheld.
I think I heard the Luigi rumor for Super Mario 64 fairly recently, I don't think I've heard of it as a kid. Probably because I was still in my single digits back when the N64 was new. But it's still interesting to learn about. I'd pretty much wander around Peach's castle in general, I remember just playing around in the courtyard before the Boos showed up. The Boo that appeared in the hallway to the courtyard kind of freaked me out when I first saw it as a child, lol.
That's awesome.
Yeah, it feels counter-productive since ads are suppose to be used to make money, not drive people away lol.
Indeed, it would be cool if they brought back Mario Kart Double Dash as there is no official way to play it outside owning the disc with a GameCube or a Wii. It would be fun if they incorporated the LAN stuff too. I did, I think I may have used it once with my IRL friend when he visited. Some useless trivia, the Wii U versions of Call of Duty have a "system link" mode thus having a LAN option. I don't own two Wii Us or two copies of the game to try it to see how it works.
Yeah, backwards compatibility would be a blessing on Nintendo's next console. All my Wii U stuff is tied to Wii U, the only way I could play Wii U games on Switch is rebuying them. That's why my Wii U ports are limited to a few favorites, like Mario Kart 8 and Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Just don't feel like rebuying a bunch of favorites on Switch, when I can play it on Wii U. I did purchase a few Wii U indie favorites to have them on Switch thanks to the Wii U eShop ending, but that's about it. Nintendo really needs to make it so past digital purchases can be played. Kind of like what Xbox does.
Yeah, Luigi in Super Mario 64 was a biggie back then in the early rumor days. The big boo, I had it glitch once... it had no face. It happened once. Spooky. Now I sound like I'm making up a rumor. XD Funnily enough, those viral videos about Super Mario 64 being personalized made me nostalgic for Super Mario 64, and I bought it on my Wii U at the time... then months later Super Mario 3D All-Stars launched.
@Sunsy I do highly recommend the entire Metroid Prime Trilogy to any Metroid fans, or even those who do like FPS games but want to try a different setting with some unconventional mechanics. My favorite parts of those games were the exploration, lore, puzzles, and boss fights. Samus gets some pretty wicked suits too.
I just didn't like the controls of the GameCube original, maybe I should consider grabbing it on Wii U before the eShop closes. My wallet is linked to my Switch so all I need is an eShop card. I never had the Wii version, but I've played FPS games with the Wii remote and nunchuk with no problem before.
I’d say that the Lord od the rings games are the gold standard of licensed games. Now one day I shall read the Lord of the rings book but as it currently sands I don’t care about the series at all. I never watched the movies because I like reading the book first. I was intrigued by the nemesis system and picked up shadow of modor and loved it. It was an amazing accessible game that holds up more than 10 years and 2 console cycles after its original release. I think the mark of a good licensed game is being s good game for fans or newcomers. I loved the game purely on its own merits and would probably of only enjoyed it more if I saw the movies/read the books. It could have been an amazing game without the branding. Or another example the ubisoft south park games they so perfectly capture south psrk by just being episodes you play same writers and voice actors just longer and interactble and the writing is amazing. If you aren’t a south park fan it won’t convert you but purely as a comedy the game is worth your time. Good licensed games are definitely possible you just need to find people who care about the source material
Yeah they just let you feel the excitement as part of a group. There are some for a lack of a better words extremely hype moments in games, books and TV shows characters returning at the last minute to save the day, “dead” characters showing back up etc and those moments are amazing but movies can magnify these by 100 by giving you permission to cheer as loud as possible and hear everyone else’s cheers. Same goes for jokes being able to laugh together is a community thing it makes the joke better. But it only counts if the audience is real laugh tracks follow the same principle but because the show was designed to accommodate it the track feels forced and less fun. The only show I’ve ever enjoyed with one is Seinfeld and that’s just because of how amazing the jokes are but I’d still prefer to not have them
Look I love talking about games and reviews and even YouTubers who talk about rumors like Arlo but I prefer them reviewing games or talking about why they like games I don’t like the actual speculation parts. I just think it’s a waste of energy that could be better spent actually playing games or talking about why you love them like I wrote about shadow of modor. I could be playing it or I could be banging my head hoping for a sequel that has no confirmation and believe a bored 15 year olds “leak” about shadow of Ratbag (which I would play).
Pretty much every one is great. Ryan George unironically makes better written and more interesting videos than some movies he pitches. It’s a ll in good fun there are very few times where it seems like he absolutely despises something and usually when he does it’s justified. He has his own channel which is similarly awesome. I’ve seen a few cinema sin’s videos but never really felt a reason to watch more they are funny to an extent. I just prefer other film critics over him and I’ve never seen wins
Cool, never did read or watched anything Lord of the Rings. Then again, I tend to have a difficult time watching long movies, that's more of a personal reason. I can agree with that, it shows it is possible when the care is put into it. It's easy to make a licensed game as a cash grab, but it shows care and inspiration when developers pay attention to the source of it. Then there's games like Chicken Little, where the game can be better than the movie it's based on. This is coming from someone who liked Chicken Little too.
Indeed. I just watched Violent Night on Peacock, and mom and I had a lot of reactions. I can only imagine what it would have been like seeing it in a theater. Some would say the girl quietly singing "Trolls Just Wanna Have Fun" ruins the experience, at the same time, it just shows someone who loves it. Comedy can be fun as a community. I saw Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks in a theater, everyone lost it when Maud Pie appeared on screen. It's like those who saw My Little Pony, knew the character, the way she is, and had a good laugh at an unexpected surprise.
Yeah, you know, I can't count how many times I've seen a "Switch Pro" rumor getting treated like it's true, even when Nintendo said no such thing. People do fall for it.
Yeah, I still can't remember which pitch I saw. Personally, I do find it hard to watch reviews on movies, because I've already seen it, and I came to my own conclusion on what I saw. Good example, I was recommended "Trolls is an animated disaster" by 24 Frames of Nick. I watched it expecting another "Trolls is bad" video, instead, I got a review from someone who had things he liked about the movie, things he didn't like. Then, why call it an "animated disaster" if the conclusion was "don't judge a movie by its cover," definitely a clickbait title as it was more review than actually trashing the movie. I didn't fully agree with some points (for example, the music since I like the music), but it felt like a review at least instead of nitpicking everything in a movie.
It's also important to remember movie critics and I look for different things in movies too. I go to a movie because I love the way it looks, the story, the characters, the lore of the characters, music, and so on, movie critics look for other things. One's looking to be entertained, the other is looking at a movie not for entertainment, maybe as art or the way a movie is made.
Here's an example of CinemaWins, this what I saw. SPOILERS for anyone who has not seen Trolls yet (just in event someone on the forums will watch Trolls, and don't want to ruin it for them).
It's like CinemaSins, but points out all the good in the movies. Never considered CinemaSins actual reviews, just comedy since it points out dumb little things that go unnoticed.

@Kermit1 Awesome, I never knew about them until a few years ago when I stumbled across their Trolls video. I like the idea, especially since YouTubers tend to be overly negative to animated movies.
Can you blame me for barely watching them when animated movies tend to my favorite?
