RIP to my cartridge of M&L: Dream Team, which got lost right as I was about to beat the game 😔

I have an idea to make short story telling about two teenagers who have great skills in computer which got tricked by mysterious man that lying to them to do his dirty job and when both of them realized, the bad guy try to escape with their stolen stuff but suddenly the little brother try to defend his brother after that bad guy hurt his brother. I want to make some dramatic scene, very eye tearing moment by make his younger brother sacrifice himself to protect his brother and defeat the bad guy. The next scene showing the young brother is get injured and say some last words before passing away. His brother hug him by crying and the final scene showing the peoples commemorate his young brother as the hero who saved the city. I really want to make my original short story that can make some of young kids grade 1 - 3 crying for the dramatic scene, guess I have to practice my acting skill in crying and quick change the emotional feeling for next scenes.

@Anti-Matter If I were you, I'd:

• Make them sisters, the audience will get emotionally attached more easily
• Make the younger sibling not wanting to die and crying that everything gets dark, before they pass away. It will traumatize the audience 100000x more than a grand speech
• To add some salt to the wound, the people would commemorate the villain as the hero, because ultimately his plan would work and nobody except for the older sibling would know that the guy is a villain

Fluffy dreams

Oh, if you want to know my plan for this brotherhood themed storytelling, I already planned those teenagers have opposite personality.

I named the older brother Dexter (15 years old, grade 9) for having right handed, friendly, confident, playful personality.
But the younger brother I named him Sinistra (13 years old, grade 7) for having left handed, sarcastic, rude, indifferent personality.
Despite of their opposite personalities, they still getting along well.

His younger brother Sinistra has better computer skill than Dexter despite both of them are genius in computer skill.
From my story plan, Sinistra actually already sensed something suspicious from that stranger by offering them some mysterious invitation.
That mysterious guy I named him STEALTH as their boss when they accept the offer to help in cyber world and become spies to get something "stolen", the ideas that I got from cartoon series like Kim Possible / Totally Spies.
They worked as spies by mysterious guy until once day Sinistra noticed something suspicious with the assignment they got when being spies. I'm still working in this idea as the next scene happen is they realized their assignment to get the "stolen" stuffs is actually helping the STEALTH to do his dirty job to terrorize the whole city with his stolen stuffs (still working the ideas what are the stolen stuffs) and it made Dexter and Sinistra really upset for being fooled by that mysterious guy. Sinistra who have better computer skill can detect the location of STEALTH when they try to stop that evil plan.
They are facing with the mysterious guy who is their ex-boss face to face. I'm still working with this situation to involve other characters such as the police, the mayor and their Dad who realized his kids become spies. As the villain try to start his evil plan, Dexter have initiative to attack that bad guy first but he got attacked back by STEALTH. It made Sinistra really angry and when STEALTH want to harm his brother, Sinistra try to stop the STEALTH evil plan. Some scenes happen, still working the situation that will happen but anyway after the STEALTH get defeated, it made Sinistra get injured so bad to protect his brother Dexter. Dexter comes after him and Sinistra with some words try to say something before he passed away. Dexter was so despaired to lose his brother and cry aloud, this scene I have to perform my crying acting that will look so convincing and probably will make some of my students crying for that death scene.

But after the storytelling finished, I will explain the decision of Sinistra to protect his brother despite of the cost by losing his life is something that they can learn, willing to sacrifice something to help other people that can be like these simple examples: helping their parents to clean the house despite they will lost their playing time, share their stuffs to other peoples to help them despite they have to lost their stuffs. I have ever watched kids movies like Doraemon adventure movie at Utopia, I saw the sacrifice scene to protect other characters. It was beautiful bittersweet scene that can be learned.

Guys help I’m addicted to ducktales

I’m pretty sure I just found my brothers Reddit account.

Dora the Explorer is getting a reboot in CG and it looks so bad 😭😭😭

Like, why does every old show get remade in cheap cocomelon-like animation

@EaglyBird I enjoy scaring (or at least entertaining) people, and the great thing is they pay for it! XD The reactions are the best. I don't even care if someone is scared as long as they enjoy themselves and aren't being a jerk (We have security just in case). You sound like you'd be fun in a haunted house ( ), though never feel pressured into doing anything you don't want to. One thing we're trained on is how to gauge if someone is truly done (if they don't outright say they want out) and then escort them out the nearest exit. I've been doing this long enough that I know the signs. Some are escorted out for medical reasons, though this is rare and usually a result of someone not paying attention to the rules...or thinking they can handle it.

On my nephew: Thanks! He will definitely be introduced to gaming in time. Whether or not he likes it will be up to him. Right now he's mostly interested in eating, sleeping, and filling diapers like a champ lol.

Hope everyone here at Nintendo Life is doing well. It might be kind of a busy week for me, my family's been coming to town for a visit. So I'll be spending some time with them in some way.

I enjoyed the Direct as well, there was some good announcements in it. I love how Daisy Circuit's coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, been wanting that course to come back for some time now. I didn't think that Nintendo would even consider doing anything regarding F-Zero... yet they made a battle royale game out of it anyway! Hopefully a new game will come out of it eventually. Princess Peach: Showtime honestly looks fantastic, I'm excited to give that game a shot. I like how they're remaking Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door as well. Though I've played it a ton on GameCube, I actually wanna try to get it on Switch since it was one of my favorite games growing up, and it's been a long time since I played it.

That sounds like a good plan. That's cool, I love Metroid as well. The 2D ones, at least. I did love my time with the first Metroid Prime, just haven't played enough of the other Prime games yet.

I think Mortal Kombat II was one of the first times I tried out a fighting game. It was via Midway Arcade Treasures 2. I don't recall what difficulty it was set on, but it was super tough right off the bat for me. I did try out Street Fighter II around the same time with a Capcom arcade game collection... the name of that collection is escaping me, I think it was called Capcom Classics Collection? Anyway, SFII was a bit easier, but still pretty tough. Didn't get quite into Street Fighter, but at least I got into Mega Man, lol.

There's also stuff like DuckTales for the NES. That was another Capcom-made game, and it's really good. I have the remastered one on the Wii U. I wanna get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge at some point, I did hear that one is fantastic. I remember the first arcade game being pretty good, as well.

I didn't have Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, just its two sequels. So I didn't know that. On the Wii, I pretty much just stuck with - you guessed it - Mario Kart Wii. lol

Agreed with you on Princess Peach: Showtime... loving the transformations that Peach can have! It looks like there's gonna be quite a lot of variety in its gameplay. I'm excited to see what else Peach will be in her play adventure... plus she looks adorable as a baker! <3

Oh I agree for sure. Those sky views are amazing for sure... they're my favorite part of flying for sure. It's one reason why I got more comfortable with flying as time went on. I remember having to wait seemingly forever the last time I dealt with a flight delay. That day, I had to get up super early as well, I think I had to get up at 4 am, so it wasn't pleasant. I really wanted to go back home.

That's cool, so I was about your age when I tried them out. Too bad I didn't take them very well... you handled it a lot better than I could, that's for sure. That teacup ride I mentioned didn't spin a whole lot I don't think, they would just slide around at high speeds. I didn't try out tilt-a-whirls. From the looks of it, I'm not sure if even I could handle it too well, lol.

Yeah I think SML2's the better game overall, too. SML1's a decent game, but its controls are pretty rough. It is a pretty short game too, which is all right since it was a Game Boy launch title. I like playing as Daisy, I picked her last time I played Mario Kart online. She's a cute and cool character for sure. Years ago, I did see someone from school playing one of the Wario Land games, I think it was WLII given the time frame. It was my elementary school days, and anytime I saw a kid with a Game Boy, most of the time it was Pokemon Red or Blue. Pokemon was everywhere back in the late 90s! I'd say my favorite Wario Land title is the first one. It's more similar to the Super Mario platformers and it was fun finding treasures in that game, so I felt quite at home with that one.

I'm listening to boss music and imagining my half-kitsune persona fighting some wicked monster with his agility and fire powers (or, if playing as his genderbent self, her agility and ice powers).

@Anti-Matter well, looks like you have it figured out

I was today years old when I heard of a peculiar tale of a game called Mirror 2, thanks to a demo on a PS5 that caught my all perceiving eye.

Apparently Mirror 1 was a hentai game, and Mirror 2 was sold as a 16+ game so male perverts thought it was going to be the same. Now I do enjoy the suffering of others as much as everyone else, so I was delighted to see that that most people who bought it were like "oh no, the game is no hentai game so baaad".

What I didn't like about the situation though, was the fact that because of that, the developers of the game went bankrupt. And it's a shame since the game is actually quite nice. Sure, it does have some saucy content with girls in questionable poses and stuff, but it also features a couple of pretty well written and animated stories. With less sexappeal and more polished writing, longer stories and no male characters, it could have been a very nice visual novel entry. I mean every scene was animated, and nicely. You don't get that often.

@Princess_Lilly
I would rather see some shirtless dudes with six pack body from visual novel style games than the hentai looking girls.
Six pack dudes are still selling for different audiences.

Guys I need a Switch so bad, for Spy x Anya, then beating up Miku, and now Bluey

So it turns out the best thing to do on a roadtrip for me is to just spend a while messing around with 9999CC in Mario Kart 7

@Anti-Matter males are offputting/scary for some, so I think girls are more neutral, but I get ya, there's a market for everything

@EllaTheQueen6 so you didn't need the Switch for Okami, Chrono Cross and Mario 3d pack, but this is were you draw the line?

@DiamondCore didn't Skyrim after all, eh?

@Princess_Lilly I dunno what those games are, AND I NEED TO PLAY AS ANYA AND BEAT UP HATSUN EMIKU LIKE THAT'S MY DREAM

Me pointing and laughing at the guy who ripped on Disney...in a post about "Barbie" beating "The Avengers" in the box office.

"Barbie" was distributed by Warner Bros., not Disney.

@EllaTheQueen6 oh so that was your dream you were going to tell no one?

Unfortunately, you can't beat up Hatsune Miku. Hatsune Miku shows you how to punch air and you punch air. You punish the bad air.
