@Bunkerneath I thought that too. Clickbait headlines, huh. @Slapsillium Actually, the first definition of xenophobic is “prejudiced” so it sort of fits well.
I’ve started a Snowgrave Route on Deltarune so I’ll continue playing that. I also plan on starting some 3DS games, and I think I’ll start with Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Other than the obvious ACNH, another game that really helped me through COVID was Super Mario Maker 2. Me and my best friend got it at the same time (May, actually) and throughout 2020 played it for hundreds of hours together. When I couldn’t see anyone in real life, I used SMM2 to play with my friends.
@ancientlii Umm… what? Yuji Naka wanted to make the game actually good but was fired and the company released the game as trash behind his back. He pretty much says the game sucks in his tweet. Assuming he’s who you mean by “dude”.
I’m not that interested in Mother, but I think they should release it. Hardcore fans will have played it, but I know lots of not-hardcore fans would buy it anyway. I would probably play it, even though I’d never go through the hassle to play a fan-made translation. I know other people are like me, so it’d sell well. They shouldn’t not release just because some people have played it, that doesn’t make any sense.
I didn’t know those rumours were a thing… I love this game. Way more than most people. But, I don’t think it needs a sequel. The original is fine - some of the games in it aren’t great, which makes me worried about what would happen if they needed 26 more.
Nintendo Life should post a Top 50 3DS games (not just eShop exclusive) ranked by the User Review Score before the eShop closes, because I think the only one that’s here is ranked by the people who work at NL.
EDIT: Oops, I just realized they posted that two weeks ago and I missed it.
I was genuinely trying to find if anyone had made a Zelda Heardle a few days ago… now there’s a chance someone might.
Too bad I don’t know any Sonic songs lol.
Wow that’s actually a lot more % of people participating than I expected. I’m going through Triangle Strategy in my backlog, even though it’s a pretty recent game.
Okay, nice plan… but: “ For this month, we'll publish the preliminary discussion on the weekend of March 16/17, and then our final discussion and thoughts at the end of April.”
This game seems interesting to me… I have a lot of RPGs/Visual Novels I want to get on 3DS, but maybe in a year or two, I might get this, because it looks quite good. I also love the art style.
@tyranny_life Touché… I suppose I wouldn’t do anything then lol.
@SmashFan347 Hopefully… I’m planning on buying Chrono Trigger on Virtual Console before it’s gone, but if it’s added to NSO before then, I would take it.
@Entrr_username As I said, I don’t expect that the lawsuit will go anywhere, and I’m not upset about Epic raising money for Ukraine… but they’ve been doing things like this for years.
Also, it’s hard to say you can’t copyright dance moves, when he legally owns the copyright to it?
@lolwhatno Yeah… the fact that it’s short sort of makes it less relevant, but as a dancer myself, I’d be mad if someone stole something I made up and made money off of it.
@victordamazio Copyright’s a mess, and I doubt ANYTHING will happen here, but I still don’t think Fortnite should ever had done this in the first place.
As for your second message, you just said all copyright is ok. If I’m in high school, and I copy and paste a Wikipedia page into my assignment, is that alright just because I didn’t delete the Wikipedia page? No, because I didn’t do my assignment, so I fail. Fortnite isn’t doing their assignment, they’re ripping off YouTube videos.
@Entrr_username SO? It being “body movements” doesn’t mean the creator of them shouldn’t get anything. A string of body movements make up a dance, same as a string of words makes a phrase. You can copyright a 4-word phrase, so why can’t you copyright a 4-step dance? It’s not easier to come up with a dance than words. Also what do you mean about my parents? Your message to me made no sense.
@SwitchForce There’s a minor difference: Nobody is currently gaining any money/popularity from walking. Fortnite is making tons of money from these dances that they had no part in creating. They don’t even credit the original creators, let alone let them take any money. Fortnite’s making money from this, while the person who created it isn’t. Nobody “ripped off” walking and is getting money from it, so it’s COMPLETELY different.
I want to make a couple things clear on my opinion here: I don’t care about copyright, the whole workings of it is trash and it’s never going to do anything. I don’t even know how it works, so I don’t have any opinion on him having copyrighted it, I just think Fortnite shouldn’t be making money without giving royalties to the creator. Second, I wouldn’t say there’s anything wrong with using other’s dance moves, there’s a lot they could do to fix it. If they credited the original creators, I’d be less mad. If they gave them money, I’d be happy. If Fortnite was a small indie game with no in-app purchases, it’d be fine. Fortnite is getting money off of this, and that’s what bugs me so much.
@victordamazio I politely disagree with that, some people put a lot of effort into dancing and choreographing their dances. You shouldn’t be able to just steal whatever you feel like, even if it’s only a few seconds.
I’ve never played Fortnite, but I’ve always despised the fact it steals all its dances and never creates anything original.
@Fath @Ryu_Niiyama I like it… I can see why some people wouldn’t like it, but I think it’s fun. I’ve been watching these shorts since they came out though.
I’m not really into Kirby… I’ve played a few of the games and just don’t really love the style. I’m happy it’s a good game for those getting it though!
This is very interesting. I saw a few headlines about this, but never read the articles, and I was confused on why Nintendo hadn’t taken it down, but it’s because the source code is original… that’s really smart actually. This must’ve been a nightmare to make.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #95 - Earthbound / Mother 2
I don’t think either of them are amazing, but the NA one is a bit better, because it at least has an image. It’s definitely more iconic.

Re: Talking Point: If 1-2-Switch Sequel Rumours Are Somehow True, How Could Nintendo Improve It?

Re: Back Page: Which Is The Best Controller Button, And What Does Your Pick Say About You?

DEFINETLY North America. I don’t even particularly like that one, but at least you can see Mario’s body….
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 9th)
Continuing Triangle Strategy, hopefully will finish that in the next couple weeks. Then I’ll be buying multiple 3DS games.
Re: Backlog Club: Week Zero - Hello, And Welcome To Backlog Club
Hmm… this is interesting… but it’s a big commitment to play a game from your backlog EVERY WEEK…
I voted for Earthbound, because it’s one of the few games actually in my backlog.

I would do anything for either Super Mario RPG or a Final Fantasy game… or Chrono Trigger, but I doubt that’s gonna happen if it hasn’t already.
