Kind of crazy to think that TotK comes out in less than a month, and just a few days after my birthday. So far, it looks great, albeit the expected frame rate issues that some folks are mentioning. Can't wait, though!
Random joke opinions I came up with for some of these pitches if they were real. They get more cursed as you go on.
Who needs Pokémon Weather when you have the myths of Hoenn's Legendries? Once you study them enough, you can easily predict the weather patterns. Heck, if you can catch them, there's a chance you could even control the weather!
Pokémon Finance is a good app for budgeting, but Pikachu and Gimmighoul keep telling me to invest in crypto and NFTs. I'd rather buy gold.
Yeah, a Farfetch'd threatening me and my family in order to take my daily language lesson sounds nice. It's a pretty effective tactic, practiced by Duo himself.
Pokémon Relax is a great app! The Hypno can easily calm and put people to sleep! In fact, some of them even took a long stroll to enjoy nature! They’re still out there, it's as if they disappeared!
A beta version of Pokémon Love came out recently. People keep advertising their full teams of Vaporeon and Lopunnies. Is this the new meta?
Eh, it's mostly just cringey jokes and references.
This may get removed because of that last one, though.
Graphics wise, the Deluxe version is great, and the Wii version still holds up well. Contrary to everyone else’s opinions, I actually think that the black outlines look nice.
But Dedede wise… is actually pretty decent. I like both of these designs for him. Sure, his Wii look is more beloved, but Forgotten Land Dedede is also a good design. It’s very reminiscent of his 64 days.
I honestly believe that this Dev Room arc is being done on purpose. It’s like developers talking about horrible work conditions, and then being shut up by their higher-ups. It can be seen as a critique and parody of the situations we are seeing with major companies today. Of course, I could be completely wrong, and this was just something an employee snuck into the game without anyone else noticing.
Ironically, this is more interesting than the game itself.
Finally, I can get Quicksliver! I’m also glad that gyro is here, as that will make scanning, shooting, and movement easier in general.
As others have said, multiplayer would be nice. It’s fine playing solo, but I would love to visit a Galactic Hub region and go on expeditions with friends. Still doesn’t take away anything from the game, though. It’s a masterpiece.
Bet that we get some of the Japanese Yo-Kai Watch games and maybe even the animes. I’m willing to see all of their other stuff, though. Welcome back, Level-5!
It’s a Kirby remake. You don’t need to read a review to know that it’s a great game with a whole lot of soul poured into it, and not a cheap cash-grab remaster with minor differences.
Can’t wait to play this, though! Just gotta watch out for the spoilers until I buy it.
Not only will you have to run from the Kraken that’s chasing you, but you’ll also have to dodge the Super Chump’s projectiles that are coming from another 100 meters away!
I’m continuing my joke from the Kraken’s 3 announcement.
Kind of sad how I might not be able to get this upon release, but I’m still really excited for this. The main game is cool, but I’m more interested in the Magolor Epilogue and the bonus features since it’s all new.
Can’t wait to fight another eldritch horror at the end of the epilogue, though.
@Handheld_TrifectAce They both also have that connection with Rare. It was either completely intentional, or a huge coincidence.
Coming back for a second time, I really appreciate the effort that’s put into this movie’s marketing. From posters to a full-fledged website. The art looks stunning, and the animation may be Illumination’s best work yet. I have high hopes for this movie.
Magolor was so broken and overpowered in Star Allies. I wonder how he will compare in this epilogue, once we’ve regained his powers.
God, I’m so happy that we’re getting this. We’re finally going to see Magolor’s redemption arc. I wonder if we’ll be able to play as him through the main game after completing the epilogue.
I had massive fun with that one segment in Age of Calamity where you pilot Van Medoh, so I’m super pumped to pilot another flying machine, albeit much smaller.
To all the people saying “But this looks like BotW DLC…” please look at Splatoon 3.
I unironically love the Splatoon 1 hub. Side Order also looks really good. There are times where I kind of regret choosing Chaos, as I am a sucker for cyberpunk, futuristic, and dystopian aesthetics. Glad to see all that might be realized, though.
I don’t mean the be the “Well, achkshually” person, but let’s be real here, we in the United States are in an era where a mass shooting happens literally every day. It’s reasonable as to why this would be investigated, and an increase in security as a response to a vague message. Although this is humorous to us gamers, it would seem concerning to others who don’t get the joke.
Edit: I don’t know if this topic is too controversial to be mentioned here. If this comment gets taken down, I don’t mind it.

@Not_Soos I'm still flabbergasted by this.
Re: Official Nintendo Switch SD Card Line Expands With 1TB Zelda Card And Cute Yoshi Design
Ah yes, let me just take my SD card out of my Switch so I can admire its official Nintendo-brand design..
Don't forget, functionality and price are the two most important things when it comes to hardware, even if it means not getting the first-party stuff.
Re: Samba De Amigo: Party Central's Song List Has Ariana Grande Headlining
Counted 10 songs that I recognized from this list. Could be some good fun. Can't wait to see what else they have to offer.
I just hope that Bad Bunny doesn't make it on the list. Won't stop me from trying it out, though.

Cigarettes and vapes in a game like Animal Crossing isn't something I needed to think about today, but here I am.

Advance Wars and Minecraft Legends for me.
Friendly reminder to remain civil when talking about Advance Wars and, well, war.

Wario and Waluigi spinoff, please! A Luigi's Mansion spinoff would be nice too.

Re: Japanese Charts: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Obliterates The Competition
Happy to see Kirby back on the #1 spot! He has a huge fanbase over there in Japan, so it makes sense for RTDL DX to completely smash the competition.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 Launches Next Week
DK Summit and Waluigi Stadium all the way. I'm willing to see the other courses too.
Re: Level-5 CEO Teases What's Next For Yo-Kai Watch
So… nothing for the west?
C’mon, Level-5. We’ve been waiting for AGES.
@Fizza That’s funny, because we already got a Yo-Kai based off of those Lucky Cats.

This is the version of it most similar to its inspiration.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 25th)
I think I’ll just focus on No Man’s Sky and Pokémon Arceus for this weekend. Both games have some pretty great value to them.
Re: 'Captain Pikachu' Revealed For The New Pokémon Anime
I would love to imagine that this Pikachu has a sailor’s mouth, and is actually swearing 50% of the time it speaks.
Re: Video: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & Wii)

Don’t really care for IGN’s review. I stopped trusting them after a while, honestly. Glad to see that the majority of the reception is positive.
Re: Peppa Pig: World Adventures Gets New Globe Trotting Gameplay Trailer
Definitely a video game of all time.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 18th)
The usual Splatoon 3 and No Man’s Sky. Maybe I’ll play some Kirby’s Dream Buffet, but I’m not sure.

Fun fact! The Kraken is 100 meters from your location, and rapidly approaching.
Start Running.

Re: New Splatoon 3 Art Book Makes A Splash In Japan Next Month
I wish Nintendo would release their Splatoon soundtracks on music streaming services. Most of the songs are so good.
Re: Feature: Rating The Best Zelda/Link Relationship In The Legend Of Zelda Games

Re: Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam Is Bringing The Puzzle Franchise Back To Switch
Don’t screw this up, Level-5. Nintendo is giving you a chance to make a comeback.
Re: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Scores A Free Switch Demo, Out Today
Magolor was so broken and overpowered in Star Allies. I wonder how he will compare in this epilogue, once we’ve regained his powers.
God, I’m so happy that we’re getting this. We’re finally going to see Magolor’s redemption arc. I wonder if we’ll be able to play as him through the main game after completing the epilogue.
Re: New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Shows A Flying Vehicle And Fresh Details
I had massive fun with that one segment in Age of Calamity where you pilot Van Medoh, so I’m super pumped to pilot another flying machine, albeit much smaller.
To all the people saying “But this looks like BotW DLC…” please look at Splatoon 3.

NO WAY. NEW CHARACTERS!?
Man, I’m so pumped. The new course looks pretty fun too.
Re: Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass Inks Its Way Onto Switch From Spring 2023
I unironically love the Splatoon 1 hub. Side Order also looks really good. There are times where I kind of regret choosing Chaos, as I am a sucker for cyberpunk, futuristic, and dystopian aesthetics. Glad to see all that might be realized, though.
Re: The Best Endings In Games On Nintendo Switch
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Pizzeria Simulator. All I’m gonna say is that you’ll have to see the true ending for yourself.
