Just a little thing to note - Two Point Campus is on here again as this week's release (on 9th) is only for the Bonus Content version. A second version drops on 16th which is the same price but doesn't have the bonus content included!
Would help if I added the poll when I say "Vote in the poll"!
@Bret Just double-checked and it is 4v2v2 - The team that's ahead in the first round will have four players in the second round, and the other two teams will just have two. I'll make that clearer in the post!
@Otoemetry I saw Ollie replied already but yeah, all we know is that the data is delayed 😅 we all are eager to find out how Xeboblade did! But we'll get the charts up as soon as we can when the data is in.
@TowaHerschel7 Just because it might be a Japan-exclusive, doesn't mean others don't want to know about it! It's a pretty significant update. But I'll update the post with our story on Level-5 from a few years ago. I used to love them and it does make me sad we might never get a new game from them in the West...
@CANOEberry The translated tweet is from NStyles who said this after the notes were published, and I think the rough translation coupled with my wording isn't helping here!
I think the "you" is potentially Shinya Takahashi. Momiji was told by them (or someone at the meeting) if the games they asked about are mentioned in the minutes, they'll be remembered.
I'll make all of that a little clearer in the article thanks for letting me know
@Ryu_Niiyama Thanks, I'm not sure how I missed this or the comments! I've amended the article and issued a correction at the top. Thank you for tagging me.
@GrailUK A liiiiittle embarrassing from me, isn't it? Glad it gave you some amusement though! I've fixed it here and I'll go through and check all my old errors. Not sure what's going through my brain when writing these! Thanks for spotting it when it happens!
Just a little heads up — I've added a line about "online or local" because there's nothing specific on the website about this. If I had to guess, online would be 100% a yes, but I really hope local four-player co-op is a thing, too. Hopefully we'll get some confirmation further down the line.
@HammerGalladeBro I was digging around and WiKirby lists it as being announced in 2004, but rereading it (and the cited IGN article), E3 2005 may have been where it was shown off. I'll take out the mention of E3 since I think I conflated the two. Thanks for pointing that out! https://wikirby.com/wiki/Kirby_for_Nintendo_GameCube
@Aquafox84 I didn't intend for it to be mean-spirited, it was a genuine error that I apologised for and fixed. I should've been more diligent, though. I can see how part of the remaining article could've come off like that, so I've changed the wording to be more general on returning cast members. Mistakes happen and I've been trying to be more careful.
@Greatluigi rereading the announcement and coverage from other sites, it doesn't strictly say the game is playable offline, so I may have misinterpreted it! I've changed this in the story. Sorry to get your hopes up 😅 totally my bad there.
@Sonos I've only played a bit of 2, and all of 3 and 4, but it's really good to hear the series was trying and innovating right from the get-go! The series really is underrated. And I'm glad you're enjoying!
Since I saw some people asking about PAL box art, I'll ask about it today. This is the first time I've done Box Art Brawl, and I know Kirby 64's PAL box is basically the same as NA's but with a big black border, but I know we've often done those comparisons in the past. Would be good to get the third horse back in the race!
@Otoemetry It was Golden Week in Japan so a lot of places were shut, including Famitsu who record and share the data. Should all be back to normal this week!

Re: The First Review For Live A Live's Switch Remake Is Now In
Points taken on the clumsy wording! I've removed the wording around the improved score and the 28-year-old game.
Re: The DioField Chronicle Gets Release Date Trailer Showcasing Diorama-Style Battles
@fragranthills Thank you! The embed should be fixed now.

Re: The First Review For Mario Strikers: Battle League Is Now In
@gaga64 Good point! I think I'd blocked that one out... I've tweaked the wording
Re: Japanese Charts: The Nintendo Switch Continues To Dominate The Top Ten
@Otoemetry I'm assuming so! All we've been told is that the weekly data has been delayed. As soon as we get the info, we'll get the charts up
Re: Nintendo Files New Company Copyrights For Illumination Mario Movie
@Markiemania95 I'm just dropping tests for you now (thank you!)

@Ear_wiG Yep! We will be reviewing it!
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Multiplayer Will Let You Explore With Up To Four People
@RubyCarbuncle Same here, just erring on the side of caution for now! It would be a bit weird if it wasn't.

Re: It Looks Like Pokémon GO's Servers Went Down For A While
@dew12333 oopsie! Definitely too slow. We've updated the news story and double-checked now too. Thanks for letting us know!

Re: New Footage From Kirby's Cancelled GameCube Game Emerges
@LuigiBlood Yeah, you're right actually. Let me take that out and add something about the enemies too Thanks for mentioning this too @Fizza

Re: Random: The Final Zelda Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Book Has Been Uncovered
@Markiemania95 slow clap I'll see myself out.
Re: Poll: Which Dormant Capcom Franchise Would You Like To See Return?
@Sonos I've only played a bit of 2, and all of 3 and 4, but it's really good to hear the series was trying and innovating right from the get-go! The series really is underrated. And I'm glad you're enjoying!
Re: Poll: Which Dormant Capcom Franchise Would You Like To See Return?
My RPG heart wants a proper Breath of Fire 6. I'd also LOVE a new Strider.
Re: Random: The Final Zelda Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Book Has Been Uncovered
@Markiemania95 That was a pretty hig miss from me! That whole sentence was a mess 😅 thanks!

@1ofUs I was trying to make a joke using the dev's name! But I think I missed the mark a bit. A little tweak should fix that.
