@JumpingJackson Vibes are just vibes. It matters very much how we react to those vibes

The kissy face. The profile picture. The heart emoji.

They give off vibes. Vibes of those bots in the nintendolife youtube comments section, that still haven't been taken care of properly.

I wish I could say I wasn't hyped for this game because of the wonky ponytail Pauline has. NINTENDO HAIR DOESN'T SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRAND WHILE ALSO ABLE TO HANG BELOW. IT's DEFYING GRAVITY, WHILE ALSO BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HEAD, THERES ALSO HAIR BELOW IT FOR SOME REASON?!?!?!?!?! IT WOULD ALSO BE AN AWFUL HAIR CHOICE IF IT REALLY DID EXIST.

but no

This game is wonderful.

Uhhh Nintendo? That ponytail on Pauline is a-bothering me something fierce.

Don't your artists know that is not how hair works?

I'm waiting to play splatoon custom levels after nintendo has ended online support for NX2. I own all 3 splatoon games.

Metroid Prime 4 is waiting patiently for me.

If I could read japanese, I'd vote for that as it clearly works if you can read japanese otherwise, I'm voting for america.

@Samalik Nope! I was just really sad moments before and I couldn't stop giggling recounting the blimp story. So I vanquished depression through the power of really funny stories.

@Jumwa YUGA ENJOYER SPOTTED! NINTENDO SWITCH 2 WILL NOW SELL A YUGAILLON COPIES.

they're really jacking up the appeal to nerds. Cat ears, 2000s edgy belts combined with harness/overalls? a crop top bra thing, and those things I mistook for actual blimps when I saw atelier ryza(edit it was acutally yumia) upside down... are their sales down or something?

Yes I really did mistake that artwork of atelier ryza for artwork of blimps. and it was a thumbnail on nintendolife. Let me go get it https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/03/atelier-yumias-strong-start-makes-it-the-fastest-selling-game-in-series-history

I somehow was blinded to her face and her legs. that combined with being in the sky and missing both arms and with the bag looking like a basket at the back of the "airship" made me very confused until I clicked on the low resolution thumbnail and realized that was an anime girl.

I thought it was a neat design for an RPG airship... until I realized what I had been staring at. To think I was seriously analyzing the design elements that looked cool and somehow didn't see the face.

I'm so early to the comments section, but also late enough that everyone is heartless.

Nintendo is embracing wendy's marketing.

I-
I'm talking about likes.

@Erigen That lady is named Mother Brain, smh she's in the manual. There's also a backstory for the cool robot man.

@N00BiSH
you are resistant
you are oblivious
you are active
you are bored
you are impervious
you are phlegmatic
you are gasterflabbered
my alien planet is entirely stationary on the surface.

...Wait, no, what's the complete opposite of all those things?

@Yoshi3 Yes, I declared my house a sovereign country, bow to...! uhhh I haven't named it yet.

@Aurumonado It truly is a me Mariopocalypse

@Dr_Lugae So thats why so many sonic tubers are brits.

@Varkster Wallets in Cry.

@RetroGamer5491 It does! I wonder how gut busting the humor is going to be.

@nintendolife That's a very non- sequitur tagline, it's already attracting alot of unproductive discussion. And ultimately I think that it's making the discussion negative and entirely unrelated to the game, which shouldn't be happening. AI is only by name mentioned twice in the article.

Other more productive taglines could include:
we had as many as 25 writers at a certain point.
We had a lot of people who were cast against type
"That's just not the way life turns out."

@HeadPirate I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that only applies to some procedural generation. The stuff they're using in 3 is node based is based on manipulating geometry data using math.

Wave function collapse isn't AI though it does look like it.

You could be referring to a generative grammar, whose rules were trained instead of designed.

@hanleyforhire So they're fighting against it being used for slurs and how it can be infinite? That's fine.

@nintendolife I had a prior comment that was removes because it was a mass of question marks and "my genuine reaction"

let me elaborate.

I'm confused at why this is even happenening, how it will work out. It just seems dumb to sue a non union work force over union practices.

@Bigmanfan Well either way it would be disrespectful to the dead to never use his voice as he wanted.
"The song is ended but the melody lingers on."
It's also disrespectful to the dead to use his voice with AI because of the connotations of AI, practical graverobbing. We all remember Vader well enough
"Those who touch our lives stay in our hearts forever"

I think in this case, they shouldn't have let his voice loose based on an LLM, because those things are easily fooled, and it's more disrespectful for his voice to be used improperly.

@Splash_Woman I did do some light research on the topic and edited my comment with links to the articles, that were published before the fortnite collaboration.

"According to Vanity Fair, James Earl Jones signed over the rights to Lucasfilm in 2022 to recreate his voice via artificial intelligence thanks to AI innovation by Ukrainian tech start-up Respeecher.

Matthew Wood—the supervising sound editor at Lucasfilm who had previously recorded Jones’ voice for the role—told Vanity Fair in 2022 that he knew Jones was close to retiring from voicing Darth Vader and presented the actor with Respeecher’s work."

@father_noo they don't have the rights to those actor's voices. They do have the right's to James-Earl's. In one of the articles I linked they got into a spot of trouble for replicating another dead voice, even without AI, specifically another star wars character's actor who did not give permission. So I think they'd err on the side of caution.

@Splash_Woman weren't AI voices already a thing by then? I think he'd be fully aware that his voice would be used that way.

According to this article, that was the reason he signed his voice away at all, this is from september of 2024, which is before this fortnite collaboration
It's also in this article too:

Edit: idk what James-Earl thought of homophobia, but screw homophobia anyway

@SurprisedRobinChu an average mind

ghost trick woooooooooooo!

impressive. I wouldn't have gambled on that.

@BrianJL They'll probably weigh more, and it will be easier to make attachments for them due to the increased surface area.

@BrianJL weights really help gyro aiming, I agree. I've been considering a 3d printed attachment for the joycons to add weight.

@spottedleaf It's the other way around. Metroid needs to be a launch title because that will make it sell. (ACE ATTORNEY PURSUIT MUSIC PLAYS)

@JohnnyMind I've never seen you get this heated.

@N00BiSH trending for 3 straight days. days. DAYS.

@HotGoomba Hopefull this applies to the goombas too. That way when a hot goomba like yourself appears, they spontaneously combust due to being coated in a flammable substance

@jojobar The only reason Imo is debugging mods and such. Even then, don't share your copy of the game online.

I agree with 2 of the points nintendo makes here. Except for the security keys, because emulating security keys is part of making a system work. if the user takes the security key out of the device to insert into the emulator, there should be no problem. It's the equivalent of exchanging parts to a new location. I'm not here to argue if the user is doing something bad by copying or moving the key.

I think the game preservationists should act more like that big library in europe that stores a single copy of each old book for people to read. instead of massive piracy, and everybody getting a free copy just in case. That isn't necessary to make old games playable.

I think if you want to remove the original dev team from the primary credits, you should preserve the original credits in an options menu or something. I get the reason could be that the credit music isn't long enough or something, but just have two sets of credits.

@fenlix probably I didn't check. Don't get me wrong I think sales have been declining, they may have just dropped off a cliff after switch's sucessor was announced.

I think the low sales are due to switch 2's announcement, as both Mario vs Donkey Kong and Princess Peach Showtime easily made 1 million sold in about a 3 month span. Here's hoping I'm right.

@rvcolem1 do... do I get an award? or does it go to my neighbor.... dinkleberg.... >: (

Cereza and the lost demon is an excellent game, especially when splitting joycons with a friend.

I knew I wasn't crazy, the orange highlighted words are hints, they literally mention that in the first paragraph of the interview from Miyachi
"However, we felt that if we simply copied the format of previous installments, it may be difficult for today’s players, so we added some tweaks, such as coloring key words in conversations to give players a hint about what to do next. "

Yall here at Nintendolife told me it wasn't real but it was. I had so much trouble in The girl who stands behind and The missing Heir, because the commands were obtuse, but in Emio I was speeding through the story demo because of this.

I need to actually buy this game.

@rvcolem1 buzzkillington the third to be precise. (|;^)3 (yes that's peter griffin)

Metroida Prima las cuatro.

bow YOUR HEADS LOW, ALL HAIL SHADOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ArmenianJedi13 deltarune/undertale have made the internet explode multiple times. I think it's warranted.

Unless I see that square fur shaggy cat in game my conclusion is set. There is AI here. I think that the trailers were rendered in engine, and that the gameplay is real... I wonder how many people put a good amount of effort into making the eyes shine?

@VoidofLight I haven't examined the music in detail, the developer says it was done by a real person. As for the icons... I think they're just in engine screenshots.
I haven't seen the promotional art you're talking about so let me search it up. The one with the purple coat, long hair, and yellow sunglasses could be AI I admit... let me check the strands of its fur. Ah it's melting into the carpet... Ok then, still be responsible with your dislike.

@Max_the_German cats can have trauma too! important to remember
