As someone who has never played the original, I want to see a total reimagining of Minish Cap as a 3D adventure with a bunch of new areas to explore.

Otherwise, Ocarina of Time.

(Side Note: I want the titles of these remakes to end with "Retold".)

It's been a minute since I played No Man's Sky. Is the game even recognizable anymore?

@NatalieRath
[comment on how you have unjustly and wrongfully challenged my very much true and special beliefs and I will now be launching a 9-year campaign of vengeance for this heinous transgression]

[comment about how I won't be downloading it because I think that makes me special]

Finally, a game where I can play as one of Silksong's bosses.

In general, I prefer the game designs by a lot (with a lot of movie designs being massive downright ugly), though there were a few movie designs which I preferred (namely Wart and Fox McCloud).

Also, where was Ninji in Mario Kart World?

I love this soap opera so much. Please Nintendo, keep releasing these after the game comes out.

An IMDB leak, really? Not too long ago, Toy Story 5's IMDB page had Toby Fox casted as Gaster.

Using mouse controls for brush techniques in the sequel could be cool.

The Switch 2 will now stay completely still in a Magnitude 9 earthquake thanks to its impeccable stability.

@Friendly While I'm not really a fan of the Team Star Admin outfits, I think the ridiculousness is intentional and does add to their characterization. The team was basically a bunch of kids trying to show off to their bullies to scare them away, so it makes sense for their designs to be fairly outlandish.

Team Yell is just trying to fit in with the punk theming, I guess.

In general, I think Game Freak does a great job of coming up with character designs that embody the attributes of said character, even down to some small details most people don't notice. They don't always produce the slickest designs, but the designs always feel right narratively, and I think that's the best direction to head in.

@hol_up Well, the general framing of this game seems to be that battling is a popular and widely-viewed entertainment event, so why wouldn't the fashion of important figures in this game be akin to that of celebrities or pop stars?

Pokemon still has lots of character designs that don't attempt this style because they aren't called for in those situations.

Please tell me he wears that outfit to all his mayoral duties.

Hello everyone! This weekend, I'll be playing:

Hollow Knight: Silksong
Progressing through Act III. I'm currently on the mission where I must retrieve the hearts of some powerful figures of Pharloom's past. So far, I've retrieved both the Pollen Heart and the Encrusted Heart. Today, I'll begin searching for the last heart.

Mario Kart World
Probably going to play some online matches and travel around in free roam a bit. It seems I've reached 149/150 ? Panels, with the last one being somewhere on DK Spaceport, though I cannot figure out where. I may search for that a bit more.

Kirby Air Riders
I need to finish getting all the rewards in the current City Trial event, so I'll be doing that for a bit.

Happy gaming, everyone!
(And congratulations to Alex!)

Ah yes, Desert Area, my favorite location from Super Mario Odyssey.

The lack of mouse controls is a bummer, but it's a good thing handheld mode boost won't interfere with the touchscreen.

With the amount of money this film is making, Nintendo and Illumination have a golden opportunity to make 64 of these Mario movies.

@Nep-Nep-Freak Not trying to start another massive comment section political debate, but many of the listed reasons for a price hike in the article are large in part due to Trump's agenda.

• Tariffs: Trump has pushed quite heavily for Tariffs in his policy.
• Inflation: Definitely a complicated matter with many causes, but policy is absolutely one of them, so Trump is implicated in this too, even if his policy isn't the only contributor.
• Memory shortages: Trump is an ardent supporter of AI expansion, and his support has come through with several policy decisions. Thus he has given AI companies additional leeway to suck up more and more memory.
• Oil shortages: Trump's military action in the Middle East has resulted in the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, massively reducing the amount of oil currently in circulation.

This isn't to say he is the sole force behind a potential Switch 2 price increase, but he does play a significant role in this affair.

I only hope Nintendo gives a decently long (at least 2 weeks) advance notice for a price hike, so people waiting on the system for various reasons can decide if they're ready to purchase. I'm glad I already have my own.

In The Super Mario Tennis Movie

For when you feel like your PFP is just missing that special corporate touch.

The 3D Toriel Ad was funny. It would be interesting if 3D Toriel could become a joke boss in Deltarune Chapter 5. Maybe the Dark Fountain turns some bad art Asgore made of Toriel into a Darkner. The bullet hell phases could even be done in 3D!

While I'm not pro-Palworld, patenting game mechanics shouldn't be a thing. That's like being able to patent a writing trope.

@RoboCube No sir, I, a commenter on a website called "Nintendo Life", have no idea what a 'Super Mario' is. Sounds like some sort of Sicilian knockoff of Superman.

Also, you made the same grammatical error again.

Looking forward to Tomodachi Life and lots of divine tomfoolery in it.

Honestly, this is relatable. I love shoehorning references to stuff I like wherever I can, and "I'm on a mission" is the most perfect way to describe that.

It became an impossibility the moment the Zelda movie turned out to be live action and produced by Sony.

@EarthboundBenjy The point of HOME connectivity is to be able to bring Pokemon into future generations, to bring Pokemon from past games into Z-A, and to use Pokemon caught in Z-A in Champions. I do agree it is weird that Z-A can't transfer Pokemon to past games, though.

@JJtheTexan Sorry that I failed to properly read your sarcasm. Granted, without tone of voice or body language to suggest irony, the only real indicators of sarcasm in text are truly great exaggerations, and if I'm being totally honest, your comment really wasn't all that far removed from the genuine opinions I have seen shared by some other users regarding this topic, but I digress.

@hol_up I don't think most people care that much if other people decide to trivialize the games for themselves. Also, from what I hear a lot of people do like just reusing their old team members for some reason. In any case, HOME connectivity is just nice for transferring in Shinies caught in other games, easing the task of completing the Pokedex without NSO, or bringing in unobtainable Pokemon (in my case, transferring in certain DLC Pokemon, as I didn't want to pay for that).

@hol_up That is the most popular opinion, actually.

About time!

I've got some Hoenn starters and a Shiny Rayquaza just waiting to be transferred in and Mega Evolved!

@JJtheTexan "My cinephile girlfriend refuses to see it. Too hung up on films with a 'coherent plot' and 'strong cinematography.'"

Calling your GF "hung up" for just wanting a movie to be at least coherent in order to warrant spending time and money to watch it is honestly pretty unbelievable.

Edit: whoopsies they were being sarcastic my bad lol

@RoboCube What's your point? You say the Mario Movie is just like Popeye but what does that actually mean for the quality of the plot, themes, characters, and writing of the film. Saying the protagonist of a cartoon which is dated and largely irrelevant in the modern day used performance-enhancing drugs to overcome challenges just like Mario doesn't make the theme any less poor. You just say the Mario Movie was a good story without actually bothering to substantiate that claim.

(BTW, I noticed you wrote "would of". Not to be a grammar snob, but "would have" or "would've" are the correct forms to be using in this situation.)

@RoboCube

1. They did make a sequel to the Incredibles, titled "The Incredibles 2", and it was...not very good. I think there's a third installment in the works.

2. Fine if Mario isn't as good as the Incredibles, but it should still have well-done themes and characters. From what I could tell, the first Mario movie's main 'theme' is just "When something is challenging you, take performance-enhancing drugs (power-ups)." In any case, the point of my mentioning of The Incredibles was just to say that family movies can simultaneously be fun while also telling a good story. There is no scenario where it is too much to ask for a movie to achieve the most basic tenets of decent storytelling.

The common backlash I am seeing from many Nintendo fans to critics who did their job and criticized the movie is that "The Mario Movie doesn't need to be a literary masterpiece, it just needs to be fun!". That is true, and believe it or not, the Critics understand that too. Critics aren't going into the Mario movie looking for the next Parasite or Sinners; they are merely looking for a competently-told story and they will grade the movie according to that. There are plenty of family-friendly films that tell stories which are both fun and tell good stories: How To Train Your Dragon, Puss in Boots 2, The Incredibles, et cetera et cetera.

Viewers---whether they're children or long time Mario fans---deserve a story made with thought and intent, not just a kaleidoscope of Easter eggs and references.

Ah yes, Sudosudowoodowoodo.

How was I supposed to pay attention to the price of the Lego set when I was too busy laughing at the concept of "18+ Mario Kart"!?!

Well, it's better kids watch that than brainrot I guess.

I do not like leaks, but I expected an OoT remake and new StarFox (or at least a remake) anyway.

Extremely underwhelming drop. Hoping for a big OST soon.

NO! DON'T BUFF THE LIGHTNING!

No. The first movie left a lot to be desired, even for a family movie based on an already existing IP. I was going to list out my qualms with the film but the most concise way to put it is "Everything was bad except for Jack Black." Even so, he wasn't enough to save the film, and he won't save this one either, most likely.

@Munchlax Wait, I had that idea too!

I want to make. Every. Deltarune. Character.

There are a lot of great 'Mons which got no votes, it seems: Barboach, Lampent, Spritzee, and more. And then you mean to tell me that the most atrocious Pokemon design ever (Inc*neroar) had SEVERAL votes!?! HOW???

My travel plans were unfortunately messed up, so I'll be at home playing:

Hollow Knight: Silksong
I was really busy last week, so I didn't make any progress from my last update. Still have to beat Lost Garmond.

Pokémon LeafGreen Version
I also haven't been able to play this in about a week. I'm still making my way through the Celadon City Team Rocket Base.

Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders
Usual online matches.

Happy gaming, everyone!

Star Fox getting a revival makes sense even without Fox's appearance in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie. With games like DK Bananza and Kirby Air Riders, Nintendo clearly has a strategy of giving the Switch 2 games that in some shape or form weren't utilized on the Switch, and I appreciate this.

I'm really hoping for that OoT remake. The game's reputation is so enticing, but I just can't with those N64 graphics, so a Switch 2 remake (one that could potentially be a real visual showcase for the system) would be phenomenal.

I'll pass. I reached my limit with Hades II after I got the True Ending.

The first warning will be a price hike on NSO.
