Maybe it’s Mario Kart 8: Triple Deluxe. 😉

@VoidofLight I see, no worries. The game definitely looks AI‐generated—even if I can’t “put my finger” on definitive proof. 😉 Regardless, I think the success of the game will depend on the quality (or should I say lack thereof) of the end‐product. Whether it’s an AI game or a non‐AI game (that looks like AI), the end‐product has to be good for it to become a success.

It definitely “looks” AI to me, but that’s subjective. If what @VoidofLight says about six fingers is true, however, that would be an objective argument convincing me the video is AI‐generated. However, after re‐watching the video, it looks like the human has five fingers on each hand to me. What’s the timestamp of the six‐finger scene?

Kid: “I love Nintendo and getting to be Link!”

Does anyone have any advice or know any resources for where we can go to know what games/DLC we'd need to transfer our specific Pokémon? Thanks!

Regarding those criticizing the Pokémon Company as going too far for intervening once a game becomes successful, I'm a little confused how that makes the company harsher. A company always has the right to protect IPs from copyright violations, big or small. So if a company chooses to overlook the financially insignificant violations, why is that a ground for criticism? A company has a right to prevent all violations, so only focusing on the financially big ones equals less lawsuits than the Pokémon Company has the right to.

@shoeses Mickey Mouse's original design entered the public domain this year. However, any later versions of Micky Mouse that are still owned by Disney cannot be ripped off without violating copyright. The same principle applies here: Real animals are public domain, as far as their "design" goes, but to copy the designs that Nintendo made (or make slight alterations of the designs that are only slightly distinguishable) violates copyright.

For clarification, is this confirmation of new Ace Attorney games in general (thus, all it has to be is just ports), or is this confirmation of AA 7?

@Vil 110% I would love Smash Bros.: Ultimate Subspace!

For the longest time, I couldn't remember a PS2 game my dad used to play. It was a turn-based robot game that we always just called "The Robot Game." I tried searching online and found many games involving robots but that weren't turn-based. It wasn't until a Nintendo Direct game announced the first game's remake that I learned the series was called Front Mission.

@Not_Soos Whoa! I hadn't thought about that until now. That's sad. At least if Waluigi's voice is close enough to Martinet's, I should be okay with it. I think Afgani has done pretty well with Mario and Luigi. Not sure how he (or whoever else will do it) will sound as Waluigi, though.

The sea urchins wearing hats may be a reference to... real life! https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/02/26/sea-urchins-wear-hats/

@JackieCMarlow It took me a while to learn that as well!

@Tyranexx Hahaha, love it!

Ultra-specific request: If the film takes place in the BotW/TotK timeline, make Jacob Batalon voice Yunobo.

This is super exciting news! I have some concerns, but then again, I had concerns when the now-awesome Mario movie was announced. So now I'm hyped!!

@its_luke_c @PokemonDMG @ModdedInkling Thanks for the clarification, guys!

Why is the one Yoshi pink on GameCube but green on Switch?

YES! My brother almost got this game on eBay earlier this year, but the prices are so through the roof that he decided he'd hold out till 2024, the game's 20-year anniversary, in hopes of the game coming to Switch. His theory proved true!

You can take a horse to the sky, but you can't make it stay. 😉

All right! I got 16/17!

Also, at first, because of the headline, I was wondering if the title was literally, "The Switch Game With The Most Absurd Title". 😂

Is it a subtitle or a game description? Lol!

@AstroTheGamosian And don't forget that Rotton Tomato's 59% did not represent audiences. The film received a "near-perfect" audience score of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes! As you said, I definitely think this film will bring Nintendo back to the film industry.

@GooseLoose1 I don't mind your opinion striking out mine; it all depends on what you want in a movie. I prefer films to stick to the source material, and the film was packed with connections to the games. The story was straightforward, but then again, so are the games. Again, it depends on what you're looking for to decide whether that's a good thing.

Granted, if you release a movie, and only 58% of 234 critics' reviews are positive, while the audience rating acquires a "near-perfect" score of 96% (Rotten Tomatoes), which gauge would you say better determines a movie's success?

Also, what gauge would you say could better predict how a potential audience member, like the one I replied to, might feel about the film? Of course, we can't know for sure what the user will think, but they don't know either, which is why they asked. Unless they're a film critic, which they could be, I think they'll feel the way most people do. However, we can agree to disagree on this one. 🙂

@Potato-man The critics are wrong in this case. I'd watch it in theaters. (And I say this a someone who rarely watches films in the theaters.) Though it's up to you, of course.

@LavaTwilight I like your observation about the music! I wonder if it was intentional. Good observation. 👍

Yes! I have so many memories with this game, and now I can play it online with those I made memories with! 😊

Ah, had I known this, I would've played the game by now. I just downloaded it. I wish they would have let us know beforehand. At least Nintendo let us know in advance about the eShop closure itself. Thankfully, I grabbed many titles.

I haven't yet tried this series. If I only can get one in the series, which should I choose?

@Maxz In that case, I'll probably start with Mother 2 and, through the momentum of wanting more after completing it, begin Mother 1. As a bonus, it will cause me to fulfill your newly crafted American stereotype (lol). 😉

@Maxz No contest on Star Wars. 🤣 My only question now is Mother/Earthbound. Should I play the original first, with Ninten, or the second, with Ness? 🤔

@the_beaver See my previous comment. I'm an American and so can vouch that even we aren't off-the-rails crazy, even if we get dates out of order (lol).

@Maxz As an American, I'm pretty sure I can say your comment is satire. In America, given names are first, followed by middle names and then last names. Furthermore, Americans watch original movies before sequels like normal people--unless the movies are released out of order, of course. So we're only a little crazy. 😉

It's the Majora's Mask theme for me. Of course, there's the golden theme, but the other MM theme is my fav!

Will this reduce the value of the original original cards?

Is the 3DS version or Wii U version better?

@Uncle_Franklin Lol, though Kadabra's Japanese name actually does seem to be based on Geller's name, and with the psychic references and such... But yeah, funny comment. xD

Wow, I had no idea! That could've been useful at certain times, lol!

@aSmilingMan I'm a fan of Sonic and Valkyria Chronicles, so I'm against you and with you, lol.

I noticed Nintendo changed its old Facebook name ("Nintendo") to "Nintendo of America," so it appears to be something Nintendo's doing across platforms.

@PBandSmelly The techno music is the prelude of the song "Simple and Clean," which was essentially the "theme song" of the first Kingdom Hearts. It was cool at the time, lol.

@Link_of_Hyrule I'm hoping you're right and that his voice served to test people's reaction. It will be interesting to see if they do to Mario's voice what was done to Sonic's appearance.

@Deepdoop Well, at least we're fast, right.

@TtimeXP Okay, if no one really cares, then great. 👍 The article's discussion of people rallying around the cause to change it as had happened with Sonic had me wondering, though, lol.

@StarPoint I hope so. Please let Illumination direct the animation, not the humor.

They designed Mario fine; the "outrage" over Mario's design is much dumber than the better-justified reaction over Sonic's initial design.

Multiple games are still on my Wii U to-do list. And the 3DS, well, I'm going through every Ace Attorney game on there, not to mention still playing Tri Force Heroes with my girlfriend and bro!

"We couldn't imagine Kirby any other way!"

Just play Smash and copy Yoshi, and then you'll see it.

The last case of TaT is amazing! Kate, now you need to do a piece on my favorite case, "Farewell, My Turnabout," from the second game.
