Re: EVO Would Happily Welcome Back Smash Bros. Tournaments

Ability-King-KK

@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.

Re: Soapbox: This Year, The Game Awards Failed The Industry

Ability-King-KK

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.

Re: Pokémon Collaboration With Van Gogh Museum Announced, New Merch Incoming

Ability-King-KK

@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.

Re: New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Distribution Is Now Available

Ability-King-KK

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.

Re: Nintendo And Nékter Join Forces To Create Mario, Splatoon, And Kirby Ice Cream

Ability-King-KK

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.

Re: Random: Peach's Mario Movie VA Anya Taylor-Joy Says She's A Gamer Now

Ability-King-KK

@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.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Thanks Nintendo For Helping Make Bayonetta 3 A Reality

Ability-King-KK

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.

Re: Feature: How Do Game Developers And Artists Feel About The Rise Of AI Art?

Ability-King-KK

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.
