I don't get the obsession with turning random game series open world TBH, but Pokemon doesn't seem like the worst choice, as long as they can continue making the linear games alongside them.
Considering how much Nintendo love their baby versions it's surprising they've never tried geriatric variants of characters - that seems like the natural next step to me.
In the middle of the Direct I wrote up a joke Direct because I was so bored and sent it to my Discord friends - one of the entries was Nintendo reminding you Hades exists for no apparant reason.
I don't get why people are so upset about the obscure games on NSO.
You guys do realise EarthBound got a cult following in the west because of people stumbling across it on ROM sites, long before Smash 64, right? try some of the lesser known stuff for once, you may find a new favourite hiding in plain sight.
Disney needs to bring back theatrical 2D animation. Burrow, Kitbull, and the Jerries in Soul were brilliant so a 2D Pixar movie would be a dream come true.
Such a shame talented voice actors get snubbed for celebrities. In an ideal world names like Tom Kenny, Rob Paulson, and Tara Strong would be just as recognised as Brad Pitt and Will Smith.
TBT I always felt the Jackbox Party Games would work better as free websites with a little less emphasis on presentation. They can for the most part be easily replicated with pencil and paper IRL.
Netflix have a tendency to recast other studios’ characters in animation for more star power. They seem to be doing the same for Ginger in Chicken Run 2 unfortunately.
Sonic Colours’ cutscenes were super funny, even if lacking in plot. If they could find a balance between the stakes of the Adventure games and the wacky worlds and comedy of the “Boost era” games and especially the Boom cartoon that’d be ideal. Crash 4 did a really good high stakes plot that even fit in some emotional beats without trying to erase the inherently silly nature of the characters and world, and I think Sonic could easily do the same. You can take something seriously while still making it funny and whimsical, instead of filling it with edge and guns.
@Nintendofan13 I’ve seen footage of Ryan trying to do the Sonic voice in the modern day and he’s really lost the spark. Remember how bad Fox sounded in Smash 3DS/Wii U? Yeah, like that.

Re: Feature: After Fire Emblem And Famicom Detective Club, What Comes Next From Nintendo's Vault?
I really want the other two Kururin games to get localised, maybe Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love too.
Re: Video: Watch Post Malone's Virtual Concert Celebrating 25 Years Of Pokémon
A music video beginning with giant, floating, T-posing Pokemon is never a good sign.

Re: Did The Official Pokémon Twitter Account Just Tease Let's Go Diamond And Pearl?
It's literally just that it rhymes. They've been posting tweets with wacky catchphrases related to each gen daily.
Re: Random: Nintendo Has A Problem With Its Switch Joy-Con, And We're Not Talking About Drift
I have the pink one, it looks pink in certain shades, but red in others. So weird.
Re: Random: Oh No, Soulja Boy's Making A Video Game Console Again
That tweet reads like the teaser for a new Marvel movie or something, not a Famiclone.
Re: Rare's Cancelled N64 Project Dinosaur Planet Has Been Leaked Online
Maybe we'll see Twelve Tales: Conker 64 soon?
Re: New Nintendo Infographic Shows Off The 30+ Games Announced During This Week's Direct

Then it happened.
Re: Telltale Lives Again As Tales From The Borderlands Arrives On Switch
Considering they recently got the rights back to distribute their Homestar Runner and Wallace and Gromit games, those'd be brill to see on Switch.

Re: Jaleco's Cybattler Is This Week's Arcade Archives Title On Nintendo Switch
The Switch really is a Jaleco machine, eh?
I'd buy Avenging Spirit on Arcade Archives at least, enjoyed the GB version on 3DS when I was younger.

Re: Mario, Link And Bowser Star In This '90s Nintendo Commercial, Complete With Disney-Standard Animation

Re: Charles Martinet Would Love To Voice Mario In Upcoming Illumination Movie
@Zeldafan79 His first role in a game was Mario Teaches Typing, he had voiced Mario at events for Nintendo beforehand.
Re: Charles Martinet Would Love To Voice Mario In Upcoming Illumination Movie
They’re gonna pull a Scoob, I betcha.
Such a shame talented voice actors get snubbed for celebrities. In an ideal world names like Tom Kenny, Rob Paulson, and Tara Strong would be just as recognised as Brad Pitt and Will Smith.

Re: Yuji Naka Is Really Excited For 2022's Sonic Movie Sequel
Having my own creation owned by someone else would be strange... I’d be really excited but also super anxious about how they’d treat it.
Re: Random: Fan-Made Mod Brings Among Us To Super Smash Bros.
@1ofUs This has literally nothing to do with FP2 or Ultimate
Re: Random: Super Mario 64 Gets A Ray Tracing Makeover Thanks To Fan Mod
This is pretty hideous. The combination of realistic effects and low poly models is just... ugh.
Very “Nintendo, hire this man” stuff.

Get the Sonic Boom writers I’d say.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Voice Actor Thanks Fans For Reaching Out
@Kyranosaurus It might have been Jason actually, I’m not all that keyed in on Sonic VA lore, or really that much Sonic outside of the classic games.

@Knuckles Classic did speak in Sonic CD “I’m outta here!”
