I have met Veronica at two different conventions, one in 2017, and another in 2023. She somehow remembered my face when I saw her again in 2023, as she was also at a screening of Mewtwo Strikes Back and did a Q&A session at a theater in California, days after I saw her at the 2017 convention. She is very kind and still has a ton of passion for her role as Ash Ketchum. I was born during Pokémania hype, so I always hear Veronica in my head when I think of Ash’s voice. I wish her the best in her future endeavors!

Hopefully it wouldn’t be as buggy as Sonic Colors Ultimate was.

Celeste is a masterpiece, and one of my all-time favorite video games.

I can’t believe that it needs to be clarified that a Boss Rush mode will be included at launch instead of through a patch later. Features in a game have gotten to a point where it may come in an update, or not, or be promised and never materialize. The video game industry has created serious trust issues with its consumers. I miss the GameCube and before era where we didn’t have to worry about things like this. Nice to know that a Boss Rush mode will be included regardless.

@KayFiOS Correct.

@BlackenedHalo Exactly. It’s unfair for it to be criticized over an unpopular, minority opinion. It gives the same energy as them criticizing Wave 6 of the Booster Course Pass because “Funky Kong is annoying”.

Golden Sun has an amazing soundtrack, I’m confused on why that is a bad thing.

I wish the Pokémon anime was more accessible, but I’m glad that the Pokémon TV service went on as long as it did. I’m grateful to have ben born just in time for PokéMania, and I’m glad that I got to see Ash’s journey from beginning to end as it happened live. Ash becoming world champion was actually one of the leading motivators for me going on a self-improvement journey in 2023, and his actions will continue to drive my life forward. Hopefully we can get DVD and Blu-Ray box sets of the Ash Ketchum saga. Gotta binge it all!

I thought this article was going into a “tears of joy” route, based on how it mentioned that Miyamoto rarely praises anyone, and it was still averted with no praise to Itoi given. This article was a roller coaster, and I enjoyed the ride. Well written.

I’m praying that King K. Rool is a part of the theme park in some way.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for $16 is an amazing deal, I highly recommend it!

I went to E3 2017, 2018, and 2019 when they made those events available for the public. I am very grateful I got to go during its last three years. I wish the best for everyone at ESA who made these events possible.

The game does not really innovate the Sonic franchise too much. Generations already had Classic Sonic gameplay rendered in 3D, and Mania successfully brought Classic Sonic into the modern day with no strings attached. Sonic Superstars simply feels too much like its predecessors to really push the franchise forward, making it a bit too safe. The boss fights are also atrocious, and they significantly bog down the pacing of the game.

Geno got a Switch profile picture before King K. Rool did.

I found the motion controls to be unresponsive sometimes. Most notably, the control method with the IR camera was frustrating every time from my experience. The game barely gives you any time to prepare your hand to face the IR sensor, and the IR sensor itself may not even pick up on what you’re trying to do. It was also sometimes confusing on which direction or angle you were supposed to hold joycons in, as in face up or face down. Overall, Move It has good ideas, but if a veteran WarioWare player like me can get confused, then I don’t really think this should be someone’s first WarioWare game in my opinion. I beat the main story in a few hours and have no desire to keep playing, whereas I would play other installments like Twisted and Touched for longer. I give Move It a 6/10.

I know E3 was not always at the LA Convention Center, but it really feels like its home base to me. I’m grateful I got to go in 2017, 2018, and 2019. With that said, if it’s no longer in Los Angeles, then I’m not coming back. E3 feels like a corpse with makeup at this point, it’s sad that it has come to this. I do not feel optimistic about E3’s future at all at this point, if it even has a future.

I never sold or gave away any of my games or consoles.

I’m just happy that August 8th marks five years of King K. Rool in Smash Ultimate.

It’s worth noting that this figure is unofficial.

I live in SoCal, I’ll check it out in Santa Monica!

I’m surprised that A Fox in Space Episode 2 never got an article.

I remember being so excited for the Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma two parter during early Black & White, only for the episodes to be cancelled less than a week before airing. Very unfortunate timing with the earthquake that happened around then. I was wondering for over a decade on what went down in these episodes, I’m very grateful that this information has been preserved!

Praying for a King K. Rool LEGO. It’s been almost five years since he was announced for Smash Ultimate, and I’m very grateful that he’s in the game. I just wish King K. Rool got more, he’s one of my all time favorite characters.

I’m loving these video game based LEGO sets! I remember wanting these when I was a kid. It is never too late to want them even as an adult though.

Shoutouts to fellow SoCal Smash Ultimate player Animals for creating Wobbledogs! I’m very happy for his success!

The single player is incredibly difficult with rental Pokémon. Godspeed to anyone who finishes Round 2.

Based. Snorlax is one of the best Pokémon ever created!

This takes “The Completionist” to a whole new level.

I live near Anime Expo, and I went there in the past. The lines just to get in to the convention center can take forever though. I’m not sure if I’ll go this year or not.

He’s the leader of the bunch, you know him well! He’s finally back, to kick some tail! His coconut gun, can fire in spurts. If he shoots ya, it’s gonna hurt! He’s bigger, faster, and stronger too! He’s the first member of the D.K. crew! HUH! D.K.! Donkey Kong! D.K.! Donkey Kong is here!

Does it bother anyone else how anti-gravity is seldom featured in these tracks? The only DLC tracks that have it are Boo Lake, Merry Mountain, Sky High Sundae, Rock Rock Mountain, and 3DS Rainbow Road. Most of the tracks that have it are from wave 3, and no tracks in wave 1 or 4 feature it. I was especially hoping to see Wario Colosseum, as that would be a perfect track to feature anti-gravity, but I feel like Waluigi Stadium stole its spot.

I’m praying that Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice get ported to the Switch. It’s good that they’ll live on through mobile devices, but removing access to these games on Nintendo platforms is a shame, considering the franchise started on Nintendo platforms.

This is really cool! This reminds me of the sonic hedgehog protein.

That anime image makes me think of how sad Goodra’s goodbye was, despite the fact it was only around for 15 episodes.

Please let Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice get ported!

Everyone needs to buy this and Spirit of Justice. I hope Capcom ports these games to the Switch soon.

This much be a Guinness World Record or something. I don’t think there has ever been a game released this close to a store closure before, and an 18 day window at that.

Prices for 3DS and Wii U games are going to skyrocket in the near future. Godspeed to anyone who wishes to collect games for these systems in a few months from now.

Kate Gray announced she was leaving NintendoLife in an earlier article, and she is also included in this article. I’m confused, is Kate staying on NintendoLife or leaving?

Super Mario Sunshine in 3D All-Stars was patched to natively support GameCube controllers. Hopefully this will get patched as well!

I was fortune enough to have been born shortly before the Pokémon anime began. Ash feels like a friend I’ve known my whole life. I’m really excited to see how these 11 episodes wrap up his story, and to see his friends one last time.

@FirstEmperor

Misty got a new bike in the Gotta Catch Ya Later episode.

Ryuji and Haru are underrated, they’re two of my favorites along with Akechi.

The only new games I played on Switch in 2022 were Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Bayonetta 3, and Pokémon Scarlet. I beat Kirby in a single day, Bayonetta was short as well, and Pokémon Scarlet was the only game I spent a good amount of time on. Pretty disappointing overall.

King Bob Gaming makes amazing videos! I love his Smash Bros. trailers for characters like Toad and Waluigi.

I was never a fan of micro transactions in video games. Well deserved honestly.

I'm a SoCal local, can't wait to stop by on opening day!

This was my fourth year attending The Game Awards in person myself. I previously went to the 2017, 2018, and 2019 shows. The Microsoft Theater is really clean and air conditioned well, I feel safe with the security, and the energy of the crowd is much better in person than through the stream. It’s also an excellent opportunity to network. After the show ended, I went to Yard House for dinner across from the theater, and talked to an indie game developer, who is interested in helping me publish a video game that I want to work on. I had an excellent time overall, I will be back next year!

I played this game. It's ultimately harmless and simple fun, but there's also not much depth to the experience. For a $3 game that lasts two hours, you could do worse with your day, but you could also do better. Decidedly average overall.

It’s crazy that Nintendo Power got discontinued a decade ago. Time flies!
