Re: Ryan Reynolds Admits R-Rated Lines Were Recorded For Detective Pikachu

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.

@Morpheel I think it’s a Maryland thing lol

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.

Re: Video: You Can Now Play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate With A D-Pad

@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

@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.

Re: Nintendo Really Wants You To Use A Wired Connection For Smash Bros. Ultimate

Battista

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.

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.
