Let me tell y'all a story. During the creation of the "Revolution," Nintendo decided to try creating a controller that would incorporate a TOUCH SCREEN. I think the idea was eventually shelved, and it is probably where the inspiration for the Wii U gamepad--and maybe that pic--comes from.
Here's a link to the book that covered it. I've known about it for years.
"It's safe to say that there have been some pretty major film releases hitting cinemas just recently, but our furry friend Detective Pikachu is doing just fine alongside his Hollywood superstar companions."
I'll hold out until these Pokemon get their own plush figures: Lucario (he needs more respect,) Ninetales, Blaziken, and Delphox. Correct me if there are already plush for some of these.
@Dang69 I have found quality games at Meijer for 75% off, and I even once bought a Nintendo game from them at 90% OFF! It was "Starfox Zero," but still...
I just checked, as of 5-17, there appear to be only 46 Meijer stores that have a Switch dock available. Only 46? Out of the probably 200+ out there?!?
The problem is, Disney's games are so...generic. Even "Epic Mickey" lacks that special-ness to it that Nintendo games have. It should be interesting to see what happens.

Re: The Director Of Sonic Mania Adventures Might Be Working On The Blue Blur's Movie Redesign
Better Hesse than Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante. He was #notverygood. But then again, Sonic in that pic looks like a monkey so...?

Why do we need a mobile version of MarioKart? Just answer that for me!
Re: Pokémon Detective Pikachu Takes International Number One For Second Week In A Row
"It's safe to say that there have been some pretty major film releases hitting cinemas just recently, but our furry friend Detective Pikachu is doing just fine alongside his Hollywood superstar companions."
So...this isn't a major film release?
Re: Random: These 3D Concepts Have Us Dreaming Of A Nindie amiibo Line
@GrizzledVeteran Actually, 16 amiibo will be released over the course of this year, with 6 already available.
BUT they do look like they're meant for either Smash or Shovel Knight.

Re: Video: This Fan-Made Super Smash Bros. Mini-Series Looks Incredibly Promising
My prediction is that Fox McCloud crash lands outside of Onett and meets Ness right before the alien attack. At least that's what I'd like to see.
I did not know about the "World of Light" video. That song they chose for the ending was...uh...crud. Any suggestions?
Re: Random: The Internet Is Obsessed With Nintendo's Good Boy, Undodog
Undodog amiibo? That would be fun. Riots? Not so much.
Re: Random: The Internet Is Obsessed With Nintendo's Good Boy, Undodog
@Joeynator3000 ...Then his own movie, where he's a detective or something like that.

Re: Every Single Johto Pokémon Is Being Released In Adorable Plush Form

That Pichu would be nice though...
