I'm just waiting for the final batch of Spirits. Will they be based off of Nintendo games released after Ultimate finished (like Mario Wonder or Kirby Forgotten Land) or will we be getting more third-party spirits?
You know, for a company so desperate for that Japanese money that they're willing to put their games on the Switch and possibly the PS5 soon, you would think Microsoft would keep this team so they can put out Crash and Spyro games in Japan since those games (especially Crash) are popular over there.
@MsJubilee Correction. They treat the COMPETITIVE Smash community like garbage and for good reason. Aside from the controversies that came out a few years ago, the competitive Smash community is a VERY SMALL, NICHE part of the overall fandom and act as if they are entitled to Nintendo's attention, even though they are NOT the main target audience of the Smash series.
You know that Zagreus is now qualifies for a roster spot in a future Smash game. Imagine him being playable and being the first character to represent rogue-like games.
I mean this should not be a surprise that the Game Awards are an embarrassment to the industry. The only reason these awards exist in the first place is so Geoff could make himself feel important and part of the video game industry without actually putting in the effort like most of the game developers do.
@Anti-Matter You don't seem to like a LOT of things since all you ever seem to do around here is spout negativity. Have you ever said ONE positive thing on this site and if not, why are you here?
Did they even have merch on their website to begin with? Every time I went on it was as if they hadn't even set up the merch yet to be sold. And right now it's as if the Van Gogh stuff doesn't even exist.
@Cashews You must live a very sad life if this of all things upsets you. What's next? You going to get upset over the "Dr. Who" episode that's all about Van Gogh, 'cause that's no different from this; using a fictional character to get people interested in an artist. It shouldn't matter how children get interested in art, as long as they are interested is what matters in the end.
Gastrodon seems to be the go to Pokémon for these championships. Since 2019, Gastordon has been distributed five times, all of which had the same moveset more or less.
All five Gastrodon had Earth Power and Protect. All five had an Ice-type move (usually Ice Beam, but this latest one had Icy Wind instead). And the last move was either Recover (1st Gastrodon), Surf (2nd Gastrodon), or Yawn (3rd, 4th, 5th Gastrodon).
Nintendo needs to start distributing other Pokémon from these winning teams if they're going to keep doing this. Gastrodon has become ad nauseam at this point.
The sad thing is that there are people praising this kid as a hero for standing up to "Big Bad Nintendo" when in reality he's just a brat who got caught stealing his dad's money and is desperate to pay him back. Hell, the fact that he's suing for JUST $170 should have been the first clue that something was wrong here.
On one hand it's that vegan crap. On the other, I would have at least wanted to get the cups to go with the ones I got from when Cold Stone Creamery had Nintendo flavor. Probably could have just got a juice or something and just asked for the Nintendo cups. Luckily I'm desperate to add these to my collection 'cause the closest Nékter shops to where I live are in Ohio and Illinois. No thank you, I'll just wait until a REAL ice cream place closer to home has another Nintendo promotion.
Fun Fact: There have only been two years where a Nintendo game was NOT inducted into the Hall of Fame, those years being 2018 and 2020. At the same time, every year has had at least one inducted game from a series that is represented in the Super Smash Bros. series.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika "On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer." -Satoru Iwata
Tell me. Was Iwata less of a person because he called himself a gamer?
@gloom Gives off the same energy as Chris Pratt during the first trailer introduction. So far Jack Black seems to be the only genuine one when it comes to playing video games.
@ScribbleDot It does feel like they're trying too hard to veer away from Peach's standard role as a character. Unfortunately, since this is an origin story of sorts, someone is needed to teach Mario the ins and outs of the Mushroom Kingdom and Peach is really the only one who can. Granted, they could have easily done this without giving Peach the personality you'd expect from Daisy.
@Tsuchinoko How old are you? Mario and Luigi being from Brooklyn before ending up in the Mushroom Kingdom has been a thing since the series began in the 80s.
The game will flop like Disney's latest animated film. People are just getting tired of woke BS. They want games and movies with characters that are MORE than just their race, gender, and/or sexuality. If you truly want a wonderful life, play the original, where the characters clearly had more personality and effort put into them.
I was only able to catch Ground, Ice, and Fighting Tera-type Eevee, with Ice being the only useful one. Ground was the most abundant for me, so I traded away any extras I caught.
If Sony actually cared about their IPs (Sly, Parappa, Jak & Daxter, Gravity Rush, InFamous, Ape Escape, etc.) then they could actually compete with Nintendo without CoD.
It's funny how the Bayonetta amiibo has a Sega copyright on it (yet no Platinum copyright), but Sega wants nothing to do with this series. Meanwhile, Nintendo shows nothing but love for Bayonetta.
Sega's like the dad who left to get milk and never came back, while Nintendo is the stepdad who stepped up and loved the child as if it was their own.
AI art has no individuality. The art style all looks the same. Not only that, but AI art constantly has mistakes that a REAL artist can fix or wouldn't make in the first place; hands will have missing or extra fingers, eyes tend to be off center, clothes look more like body paint instead of clothes.
At the end of the day, AI art is very unnecessary and the only ones who are okay with it are those who were never artists in the first place.
Helena has an ego. She was being offered 20K in total, but thought she deserved more. The thing is though, she's NOT a high end VA. Bayonetta is her ONLY role, having never really done anything else. She should have been happy with the 20K and leave it be.

Re: Random: Chicago Bulls Announce Upcoming NBA Schedule With A Classic Pokémon Tribute
Ah yes, Benny. My favorite Pokémon. Now we just need a Space Jam parody with Nintendo characters instead of Looney Tunes.
I also like how LeBron James is just an edited Giovanni sprite. They have so much in common, too, as both are arrogant, egotistical, and villainous.

@theModestMouse If you're okay with whatever the hell that thing is that you generated through AI, you have VERY low standards when it comes to art.
