For me, the delay really hurt this one. When it was originally scheduled for December 2021, I was planning to get it day 1, but right now I’m partway through FE Engage, so probably won’t pick it up for a while, if at all.
I didn’t really like it. Tonally, it sounded like an awkward half-between of Charles Martinet and Lou Albano. I also found his delivery to be quite flat throughout.
I hated this movie, and the NintendoLife comments are making me feel insane. I’ve seen some people on here call it one of the best films ever made. It’s just a 90 minute string of “Hey, remember this character/place/item?” with no coherence.
I voted for the Dialga and Palkia Switch Lite.
As one of the six Sun and Moon fans, it sucks that it has by far the worst special edition console since the Gameboy.
@Octane I know, but there was still controversy around the name due to having to discuss it with patients, and it seeming insensitive. I was just trying to simplify it for the comment.
@Handy_Man Having a protein named Sonic Hedgehog actually isn't as cool as it sounds. SHH mutations can result in cranial deformation, and as a result, doctors have to tell parentsthat their children have life altering mental disabilities due to Sonic Hedgehog disease.
This is actually known as “Bad Egg”. It has existed since gen 3, and is basically a fail safe for when Pokémon data cannot be loaded correctly. The egg cannot be hatched or released, resulting in it consuming box space permanently. It’s been a while since it was this easy to find though.

That’s because it’s not actually a mouth, it’s a gill for breathing underwater. I believe the Pikmin normally breathe through the leaves.
Similar the Red Pikmin probably do more damage because they have pointy noses, and the Yellow Pikmin can be thrown further because their ears catch air.
Unova is the next logical step, but I think Alola would work really well. Play as a member of the Ultra Recon squad, use Ultra Megapolis as the hub, each Island is a main zone, and all of the Ultra Space dimensions can be different boss fights.
In the original official art for Fire Emblem Fates, F Corrin had two left feet. A revised version was later released. But then in the SSBU banner art, M Corrin has two left feet!
22/24 1) I confused Secrets of Monkey Island for Return To Monkey Island 2) Yes I am going to argue that Abe’s Oddysee and Oddworld New and Tasty are different games.
I know that the wider fanbase has become more critical of it over time, but I loved the writing in 3 Houses, even if more for the characters and side interactions than for the main plot. Awakening’s plot definitely isn’t conventionally “good”, but it’s definitely the plot that I found the most fun.
@SonOfDracula
Is it because I originally said that they “announced” they were patching it, and edited it because the patch notes just say “fixed issues” rather than explicitly listing it? If so 1) that’s a minor nitpick, 2) how does your quote change anything about what I said?
Whilst I did edit my post due to your response, it wasn’t to “hide” anything, I was just trying to clear up the phrasing, because it seemed to me that you didn’t understand my point.
@SonOfDracula
I was responding to ModestMouse, who was questioning why the list only includes 1st party titles. I was saying why wouldn’t there only be 1st party titles, why would Nintendo release a patch for a game by another developer. I do not see how the time period in which the vulnerabilities were reported is relevant to my point.

Re: Talking Point: Where Should The Next Pokémon Legends Game Take Place?
Unova is the next logical step, but I think Alola would work really well.
Play as a member of the Ultra Recon squad, use Ultra Megapolis as the hub, each Island is a main zone, and all of the Ultra Space dimensions can be different boss fights.

@theModestMouse Why would Nintendo patch vulnerabilities in somebody else’s game?
