@Eagly Yup, realised this morning that Nintendolife only gave the US release date, ah well, it'll give me a chance to do a final bit of stuff in 2. I did really think it was releasing today so that's annoying, but I hear it's releasing 2AM tomorrow so I can get it downloaded first thing. Also, spoilers are around? That's a bummer, my sister might spoil it for me, she's been very annoyed at me lately. Also, looking forward to discussing it with you.
Watched Suzume last week. Fantastic film. While I don't expect anything he makes will ever live up to Your Name (a top five film overall for me), it's still the best piece of animation I've seen in years. Funny, action-packed, deeply-emotional, and paints a fantastic portrait of ordinary human life across modern Japan. @TheJGG If you liked the look of Garden of Words, which was visually distinct from a lot of Shinkai's work in certain respects, I recommend checking out Weathering With You. Same art director, Hiroshi Takiguchi, but unlike that picture, this production clearly had a way larger budget. While it's my least favorite of his 'disaster trilogy' (Your Name, Weathering, and Suzume), it might be the prettiest animated film ever made.
@TheJGG High praise indeed! I've only heard great things about Your Name, hence why it's on the "watch list". I'm trying to prioritize a movie a week into my schedule...hence Movie Tuesdays. Though lately those involve visits to a theater instead of home viewing lol.
I've never seen any films outside of CoMiX and Ghibli that have evoked such a bizarre set of emotions; intensity, fragility, and the patience to just shut up and watch characters cook or write or enjoy the breeze. Could be a good idea for a new video essay; "Goodbye Studio Ghibli". But you bet I'm gonna watch Weathering With You, I assume the protagonists cameo in Suzume after all... I have a few days to watch that before I go see that. Aside from that I've also got John Wick and D&D to watch... so good to be back in the cinema!
But the anime film industry looks like it's gonna be in decent hands now that Miyazaki's done with filmmaking himself. When he releases How Do You Live?, it'll most likely spell the end of Studio Ghibli too, who on the whole have done so much for the wider craft of filmmaking than some of Disney/Pixar's talent, and I thought they were untouchable! Nah they're not.
Pop Quiz.

Y'all, ok, so, the 3ds has a feature where you can reinstall games that were previously on it, and my 3ds I got used when I was 8, and I never really cared to check the redownload page, but yesterday,I decided to, and I got, like, 5 free games. A lot of which were not even 3ds games, but ds and nes games that you could still buy n the eShop and use the built in nes emulator because Nintendo used to be fun and included emulators on their devices so you could play hecking nes games on your 3ds.

@TeaCatherine I got Super Mario bros for the nes but on a 3ds because yes. Jelly Car 2 for the ds. Nintendo Video, whatever that is. Photo Dojo for the ds, whatever that is. And Swapnote.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Forgot that Jelly Car was on the DS and 3DS. Man, it's kind of funny how the redownload page is the only way to get "new" 3DS and WiiU games.

@Anti-Matter I dunno which game, and I could be wrong, but it sounds like something from a sci-fi visual novel or a rhythm game like Dance Dance Revolution.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko
Okay, I have provided the three options, only one answer is correct so you can guess from which game of the song I displayed.
Happy guessing.
@Anti-Matter I dunno. I didn't even realize you put the 3 answers at the bottom because I'm dumb, sorry. @TeaCatherine I didn't do much special over the weekened. Though, I did get to play Minecraft VR.

@Anti-Matter I guess... Beatmania IIDX 11 RED? I love rhythm games, but I've honestly never heard of this series. @TeaCatherine That's fair. How's your little puppy? Bro if we weren't online friends I'd be coming to your house everyday just to cuddle the puppy.
