On the subject of Mario - I'm still reeling from the news that he's no longer in the plumbing trade...
..the above, a character description from Nintendo's official Japanese website, apparently translates as:
""All around sporty, whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, [Mario] does everything cool. As a matter of fact, he also seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago..."
...I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to play sports in workman overalls!
@Hieronymus-E I think he just found more lucrative career options. After NSMB2 he probably never needs to work again. I guess he still has the plumbing qualifications if he ever wants to go back to the trade though.
Of course even Wario seems to have given up plumbing these days. I wonder if he's still running that software development house he started a few years back? I'd imagine he's making plenty of pay to win mobile games these days.
What are your thoughts on the Mushroom Kingdom being in Odyssey? I think it's great to have the classic kingdom that still gives that touch of Mario to it.

@Grumblevolcano That'd be so convenient. I'd love to see more news on other stuff. As hyped as I am for Odyssey, I need more news on other stuff. Like, I don't know, VIRTUAL CONSOLE! Really. The switch has been out for 6 months. It's not that hard to port existing games to a new system.

Heads up to any Germans reading, a German-only game called Schlag den Star, based on a popular game show of the same name (of which there was a short-lived UK variant called Beat the Star), is coming to the Switch on 29th September, published by bitComposer Interactive and distributed by Nintendo. See, they do handle shovelware!
@Grumblevolcano Yes please to that direct. Could always do with some more info, and it's not like Pokken DX will move mountains anyway (as in, if it distracts from it, I'd give that a /shrug)
What? you don't think it's enough that Nicalis have brought two games to the Switch already? You don't think it's enough that they have 8 games in the pipeline? Well, how about SOME MORE? Oh, what's that? They've been PIXELLATED!?
