I could never get into an Animal Crossing game past the Gamecube original. Maybe it's because of the lack of NES games in all future installments. Or maybe it's the fact that Animalese sounds so much better in the original.
I’ll be the first to admit I can be a bit of a prude. But wouldn’t the better way to attract adults be with quality storytelling (reviews suggest it’s hit and miss in that regard) rather than discount Deadpool?
It’s a sad state of affairs in the animation age ghetto, but I’d like to think that “mature” didn’t need to translate into “dirty”.
On a semi-related note, I guess I’ll be purchasing a ticket for the Tolkien biopic instead.
For the people commenting on the way the article begins, there’s a lot of controversy going on in the Melee community right now specifically because Hungrybox uses Jigglypuff. And it is totally embarrassing to have a bunch of toxic people saying that because he doesn’t play a “technical” character like Fox that he’s ruining the “purity” of the game. I get the arguments that other sports have it much worse, but the immaturity right now in the Melee community has to be addressed.
@AxeltheBuizel I was wondering the same thing with Ryu.
Actually during the Brawl days I preferred the Wii remote sideways so Smash with a d-pad isn’t totally out of the question for me; but it worked better with the slower pace of Brawl (and playing heavyweight Snake), therefore I could replicate it in Smash 4. I wonder how a traditional controller with a dpad would feel
The shotput game looks interesting (even though at first I thought it was a StreetSmash clone which would have been even better). I wonder if there will be more to this than just the puzzler.
When Smash 64 hadn’t dropped yet, for some reason people didn’t make a big deal out of it. Nintendo Power April 1999 had Smash Bros relegated to the corner in favor of the timelessly impactful Beetle Adventure Racing.
@jjmesa16 I think they didn’t say Gold and Silver because you could technically play them on the original Game Boy still. Crystal had the cart that was GBC-exclusive.
That was an interesting time overall; it’s hard to call the Game Boy Color an all new system. But I do take your position since Gold and Silver were made to take advantage of the expanded pallet.
I have to say, and I’m not trying to sound like a doom and gloom guy, but this part of the direct gave me pause.
Because if I buy the switch and Ultimate (which is probably inevitable but still), then I’m gonna need to pay for online, but it doesn’t sound like Nintendo’s doing that much to make it better than what I was getting free with Wii U.
For some reason I think Mimikyu sells it the best, even though it’s not actually screaming from what we can see. The others are just too kawaii and it loses its effect.
It’s neat to see I’m not the only one who prefers the AA batteries. Had the pro controllers with Wii U (two of them were Hyperkin’s Gamecube style) and I had a nagging feeling in the back of my head that the built in batteries would give up the ghost eventually.
My first thought was some kind of Monopoly/Fortune Street style board game. Hopefully with some Pokémon battling in it to break up the tedium; as much as I enjoy Monopoly even I can admit the games tend to drag on.
Say what you want about the joycons, I like this The branding on the back of the system is subtle yet still makes a statement. I like derpy Pikachu on the dock too
It’s hard to say “just get another pair of joy-cons to put on it” when they cost as much as they do, but it is an option. The red and blue ones would make an excellent complement to the whole set.

Clay Link is best Link can’t wait for the amiibo!
Re: North America's Smash Bros. Ultimate Online Open Starts Later This Month
I don’t wanna sound like a “competitive snob”, but not sure if an items on tournament is the best practice for EVO.

Re: Marvel Discusses Potential Smash Bros. Ultimate Crossover, But Don't Count On It
Maybe not a Marvel character, but what about Marvel-themed character costumes/stage themes? Kinda like what they did with Mario Kart and Mercedes?
Re: Every Single Johto Pokémon Is Being Released In Adorable Plush Form
All I want is a plush Teddiursa, which is still ridiculous at $20 for that small of a size but it's better than over $2000.
Re: Talking Point: Detective Pikachu & Let's Go Are The Keys To A New Pokémon Audience
@ReaderRagfish How do you know those were the ones he was talking about? For all we know they could be his favorites.

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Gets Its First Official Trailer, And It's Definitely Something
Why they gotta make him so ugly? Why couldn’t they just use his in-game design and find a way to justify it in universe?
Re: Team Hare Wins The Splatoon 2 SpringFest
Waiting for a C.S. Lewis vs J.R.R. Tolkien splatfest. Also wondering if anybody else knows why this is punny

Re: Reminder: You Can Now Play As Joker In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
@MarioLover92 I think you cancel the download and start it over, rather than a “restart” button
Re: Reminder: You Can Now Play As Joker In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Had to restart the download once but it got through
Re: Random: This GameCube Logo Storage Unit Is One Of The Best Things We've Ever Seen

Re: Random: Cool Virtual Boy Easter Egg Discovered In Nintendo Labo VR
It’s kinda neat to see Nintendo poking light fun at themselves in this way. Now if only they would mention the Zelda CD-I games in some form.

Re: Xenon Racer Brings Futuristic Arcade Racing To Switch Tomorrow, Launch Trailer Released
All I can think of when I see the title is the Disney channel movie with the stupid future language.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 23rd)
So far this weekend I’ve played Smash Bros and Mario Kart with friends.
Also picked Pokémon Y back up to get me ready for the aesthetically similar Galar region later this year.
Also picked up Yoku’s Island Express on sale and been having a really good time with it so far.
Re: Anniversary: Pokémon Snap Turns 20 Years Old Today
@KingBowser86 The Pokefinder was more integrated into Let’s Go’s interpretation of Go’s catching mechanics than anything else.
Which makes it seem like even more of a step backward for those of us who want a Snap sequel.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Revealed For Nintendo Switch, New Starters Shown
@patbacknitro18 That was my first thought too. But their 3D models look a lot better than the 2D art.
Re: EVO 2019 Drops Super Smash Bros. Melee
Well since a lot of Melee players are giving Ultimate a shot this seems like the perfect opportunity to unite the community under one game.
Re: Random: This Grandma Has Played Wii Fit Every Day For More Than 10 Years
The question is, how fit is she? I wanna see this lady on Survivor.
Re: Unleash Your Custom Card Creations In Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission
So this is a digital card game coming to the switch? Looks neat
Anybody remember the DBZ CCG game for the GBA? (So many abbreviations lol)
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighters Won't Receive Custom Palutena's Guidance Sequences
It’s a little disappointing, but the trick was so situational anyway. Who’s gonna play 1v1 on the biggest stage in the game?
Re: Tetris 99 Is A Free Battle Royale Tetris Game Launching On Switch Today (Yes, Really)
@Danrenfroe2016 I enjoyed the puyo puyo Tetris demo, but I’m also cheap
Re: Tetris 99 Is A Free Battle Royale Tetris Game Launching On Switch Today (Yes, Really)
Was gonna buy Puyo puyo tetris but I’ll start with this instead. Glad to see my NSO subscription is being put to work
Re: Disney's Tsum Tsum Arrive In Festival Form On Nintendo Switch Later This Year
The shotput game looks interesting (even though at first I thought it was a StreetSmash clone which would have been even better). I wonder if there will be more to this than just the puzzler.
Re: Spotify Users Can Now Enjoy A New Batch Of Capcom Tracks Following Huge Music Dump

What about if they get hit by FLUDD or Water gun?
Re: Timmy And Tommy amiibo Unlocks A Special Feature In Smash Bros. Ultimate
Got mine from five below. Very happy with the purchase
Re: Random: Lady Gaga Reveals She's A "Secret Gamer Girl" Who Has Been Playing Bayonetta
Not surprised. Gaga could definitely channel Bayo well. When she cosplays at EVO like Jamie Lee Curtis then we’ll talk.

I have to say, and I’m not trying to sound like a doom and gloom guy, but this part of the direct gave me pause.

Re: Pre-Orders Now Open For These Officially Licensed Wireless GameCube Controllers For Switch
It’s neat to see I’m not the only one who prefers the AA batteries. Had the pro controllers with Wii U (two of them were Hyperkin’s Gamecube style) and I had a nagging feeling in the back of my head that the built in batteries would give up the ghost eventually.
Re: Feature: Fireproof Games On Why Award-Winning Puzzler The Room Is Perfect For Switch
My brain went from this game to the awful movie, to wondering if that Wii U game The Letter has any hope of coming to switch...
Re: Nintendo, Creatures Inc And Game Freak Register "Monpoké" Trademark
My first thought was some kind of Monopoly/Fortune Street style board game. Hopefully with some Pokémon battling in it to break up the tedium; as much as I enjoy Monopoly even I can admit the games tend to drag on.
Re: Last Year's N64 Trademark Has Finally Been Approved, N64 Mini On The Way?
Controversial idea: what if instead of trident replicas we got 2 Gamecube controllers with an N64 color scheme? (Gray, Blue A button, Green B button)
It’d certainly be easier to grab more for 4 player thanks to Smash Bros Ultimate.
Re: Video: Get A First Look At Nickelodeon Kart Racers On Nintendo Switch
This is a game I'm expecting to be bad but hope it surprises me. Like the Teen Titans Go to the Movies of video games
Re: Nintendo Set To Bring Smash Bros. Ultimate To College Football Games Across The US
This totally makes sense. Smash bros is just like football, except the ball is your opponent
Re: Two Limited Edition Pokémon Let's Go Switch Consoles Arrive This November

It’s hard to say “just get another pair of joy-cons to put on it” when they cost as much as they do, but it is an option. The red and blue ones would make an excellent complement to the whole set.
Re: The Pokémon Company Adds Tag Teams To The Official Trading Card Game
I thought for sure this was gonna be a double stop format like MTG.
