@dartmonkey I am a long-time Mastodon user tbqh

I have been using it since... what 2018? Before even Musk bought Twitter, and I would love it if more things like Nintendo Life popped up on Mastodon. If you all need any help finding a good instance for you guys on Mastodon I can definitely offer some assistance there, as I have migrated accounts from one instance (server) to another.

@riderkicker yeah perhaps

@riderkicker https://mastodon.online/@nintendolife/112593559496403877

@riderkicker did you check this one? because it posted a link to this article https://mastodon.online/@nintendolife

@riderkicker there is even one someone made that mirror's Nintendo Life's tweets over to Mastodon

Shame the only Twitter/Facebook/Instagram alternative I use is the Fediverse, more accurately Mastodon right now. I don't use Twitter, Bluesky, or Threads. :3c

I am so proud of the work my IRL best friend (from high school) DavoGato did in this project. When this video showed up in my recommended yesterday I was amazed. Really great work

Seems like a cute light-hearted kitty game, and I am all for it! I cannot wait for this game to release!

I am playing TemTem this weekend.

No, I tried the Global Testfire, and I just suck at Splatoon (can't seem to ink enough turf to win even standard Turf Wars, and I keep getting like insta splatted against opponents.) So I have decided to not get this game. I did end up getting a copy of TemTem though, so I am really enjoying that game for the time being.

@nessisonett Hopefully one day they re-release Thousand Year Door on a future Nintendo console, and they fix that hideous oversight. Vivian will always be a trans woman to me~

@KateGray I agree! As a pansexual trans woman, I would love to see trans women and trans men openly showcased in Nintendo games. At this point I guess I do have to have to be happy with Penny and Grusha. Both are pretty easy to see as trans (Penny as a trans woman and Grusha as a trans man). But I would love for them to come out and confirm it.

@Thoughts Nah I think they'd have Sylveon and Penny say Trans Rights!

Heck I would love to see Penny in Scarlet/Violet have an Eevee that evolves into a Sylveon, and for it to be heavily implied that she is a trans girl.

My girlfriend would LOVE this chair... she is a HUGE Rowlet/Decidueye fangirl~

I am a tad surprised no one is comparing Lechonk to Tepig they look so incredibly similar

@Ogbert you mean like Tepig?

@Silly_G same here... it has to be a bloody crime for it to not have been in a regional Pokedex before now... Such a bloody shame tbh

So bloody glad Venonat can finally join players on their adventure through a region outside of Johto and Kanto... Been too long since that round cutie of a mothball got to do any adventuring! <3

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this going to be the first region where we can travel with Venonat without needing the National Pokedex?

Hoenn didn't have native Venonat, Sinnoh didn't, Unova didn't, Kalos didn't, Alola didn't, and neither did Galar... so unless I am forgetting something about one of those regional Pokedexes... Venonat being in this game's regional Pokedex is big news

@Silly_G Trees are extreme HD but the mons look like they come right out of Pokemon Stadium xD

I guess that would be a decent trade off for the fans, right? RIGHT?!

I am waiting for a catbody outfit, since I like to play as a kitty whenever possible

@Henmii you'd would either be really early for Christmas or super late... depending on how you look at things.

@itslukec this is sold exclusively at Quark's Bar in Deep Space 9! Buy your copy today, and when you do you get a free spin on the Dabo Wheel!

@Professorgenius yeah it probably is, with Picard's current second season being a decent revival to Picard.

The second season to Picard isn't the best by any stretch, but it is at least better than Discovery, and it does show some promise.

As a HUGE fan of Star Trek... I am actually looking forward to this~! I don't have a strong computer, nor do I have the funds for any other console besides the Switch... so I have been wanting a Star Trek game on the Nintendo Switch!

I will be getting this game when it releases~!

And here we all thought Mario was the one who treated Yoshi like crap... Picard one upped the plumber... Now I am only wondering if Mario is sitting around thinking, "I gotta one up-a my Yoshi abuse game"

@chapu2006 @QueenKittenWrite is probably a trump supporter who doesn't believe in any of the COVID practices... probably doesn't even believe the vaccine helps protect people against COVID. Sure the vaccine doesn't make one immune from the virus, but it sure as hell does lessen the chances of you catching, and it also lessens the effects of the disease.

And since this is a gaming site... I have a analogy... for everyone... The vaccine and a mask is like using Reflect and Light Screen in a Pokemon battle... it isn't as good protection like the move Protect, but it sure as hell does help cut down the amount of damage you take from attacks. So yeah, keep dismissing usefulness of masks... hope you enjoy catching COVID, because it is bound to happen, @QueenKittenWrite

@QueenKittenWrite good to know you wouldn't mind a surgeon not wearing a mask when doing life saving surgery on you. Also science does prove masks work. People can breathe fine, and it doesn't really allow that many particles of spit out. It does help prevent you from getting covid...

Also mind telling me what good the "Republicans" have done like ever besides HELP THE RICH AND HURT EVERYONE ELSE?

I already have Shining Pearl pre-downloaded onto my Switch, and I am looking forward to playing it on Friday.

@Mauzuri yeah anything in any game looks ugly when you look at it close enough... It's like if I were to complain about the details on the TVs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons just because "they look bad" when I zoom in on them... The trees don't look too bad IMHO especially when one considers they aren't exactly something the player is expected to focus on intently.

I mean I would be more upset with the trees if they were something you could headbutt like you could in Gold, Silver, Crystal, Heart Gold, or Soul Silver... The trees with the berries also look decent enough, since they are something the player interacts with.

@PokemonDMG Inb4 Dorkly uploads a new video... Princess Peach goes berserk

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I was browsing the catalog earlier this morning, when I noticed we can now buy tools through the catalog.

@Grandiajet same here. I only took a week off back in August of 2020, but after that it has been daily. I love ACNH so much~

Got both the expansion pack for the NSO AND the DLC separately, and I am enjoying both so far. (didn't really have any connection issues in regards to N64 games when playing with my long-distance girlfriend... she lives in Switzerland, and I live in NJ).

The DLC for ACNH is awesome as well. Already have all but one of the facilities unlocked.

@eboreg "I traveled to 2028: It gets better.
Inklings have taken over the world after humanity has made the planet uninhabitable for them"

Metroid Dread, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and some Mario Kart 64 (via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack) with my girlfriend.

Finished playing the demo about an hour and a half ago... really enjoyed it, and I would love to pick up the full game myself... but I lack the funds to get it right now. Guess I am going to have to add it to my wishlist, and get it whenever I can end up affording the game. Really think the game itself should cost like $40, since it is nothing more than a glorified GBA game (maybe 3DS game) that was released on the Switch. By what I have heard... the game isn't that long either, so there isn't much content to make it worth that $60 price point, especially for the common costumer. Who probably wouldn't try to speedrun or reply the game a billion and one times.

Tortimer is to Animal Crossing as Head Captain Yamamoto is to BLEACH! So close to immortal one might as well consider him immortal

@PickledKong look you are free to have your opinion, and I am free to have mine. I just find Animal Crossing to be way more relaxing and fun. I never found competitive games to be all that amusing/entertaining tbh, and the Sora announcement was the final nail in the coffin for me in regards to me ever playing Smash ever again.

And also ACNH to me isn't incomplete. I don't like to look at games that way. I do enjoy ACNH way more than I enjoyed ACNL or any previous Animal Crossing game, but that is just me. And also my island isn't all that well decorated or terraformed. I just enjoy the game as a game that I can play to turn my mind off, and just relax.

@victordamazio Plot Twist it ain't god or satan, but instead Buddha~ x3

Smash Brothers Ultimate is still archived on my Switch, and this fighter isn't going to get me to redownload Smash Ultimate... I have zero interest in Sora as a character, nor Kingdom Hearts as a whole. Both are super uninteresting to me.

I am happy for those that are super excited though, but for me... Smash is still dead to me. Once Sora was revealed, I was happy that the dishwasher repairman had arrived a few moments after Sora was revealed, because I have 0 interest in this character.

I have zero interest in the Kingdom Hearts series, but I am happy for the people that actually are interested in the series. I have never played a Kingdom Hearts game, and I never will. I have never been a fan of Disney, nor their characters.

I think the white theme is worse for the eyes than the black theme is, so I always use the black theme. Whenever I do switch over to the white theme my eyes always end up hurting a bit. So I prefer the black theme.

@Ogbert The team that does Splatoon is the same team that also makes each Animal Crossing game.

I am going to have to leave about an hour earlier for taekwondo than normal, since I normally leave around 6:30pm EST for taekwondo, and since I don't want to miss it. I can always catch most of it while I am riding in the Lyft, and then the rest when I arrive at the dojo.

I don't know what I am hoping to see tomorrow, but I do know the chances are probably slim, but Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes (I know that it is less likely, because Pokemon had its own Direct not too long ago, but those games are coming out soon, and so it wouldn't hurt for those games to get more screen time.) But other than that I don't know what I am expecting to see.

Got my bluetooth headphone adapter for my switch in the mail this afternoon, and now during the night of the same day... Nintendo had to release a update that made that purchase entirely worthless... GREAT!!

I might not have been a fan of Star Wars at all (more of a Star Trek fan myself), but I can imagine how the fandom might feel about this. I do wish him well, and I do wish the people behind Star Wars (Lucas Films if I recall correctly)... best of luck with finding a new voice actor for Yoda.

I also hope he can get well soon, and if not then I hope he can find some semblance of peace with his new condition.

@VoidofLight yeah it is disappointing, but I do think your wording was a bit off.

"Well, this series is now dead, at least to the people who played the others." sorta sounds like you are speaking for the entirety of people who have played previous games. Try to word your comments on this aspect better in the future, since people like me do exist, and our feelings are still valid.

@VoidofLight I have said this before... It isn't dead to me, and I have played the other games. I enjoyed the hell out of New Leaf, really enjoyed City Folk, Wild World, and the GameCube Animal Crossing.

So just because someone has played the other games... doesn't mean it is dead to them. What you are saying would be like if a Star Wars fan were to say, "well if anyone watched the original trilogy... then the series is dead to them now, because it is ***** to them". Meanwhile that argument falls on its face too easily.

I am wondering if the Poketch will return, and if so... then how will it function? Will be part of the start/x menu, or something? The Poketch didn't really play too major of a role in D/P/Pt, but it was a interesting part of the 4th generation of Pokemon.
