We also thought The Pokemon Company was gonna do a remake but we see how that turned out (i.e. "he had Johto plushies behind him!"). If anything, I think it will be Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World ports to Switch. But I would love to be pleasantly surprised since Super Mario Sunshine hasn't seen any love since its release.
@Cool_Squirtle Mature meaning completely developed whether physically, emotionally, etc. I can see how they might be immature (two of them were 19 and 20), but they knew it was wrong and did it anyway. Immaturity doesn't imply unsavory acts. It was abuse plain and simple.
@Cool_Squirtle @SSJW Mentally and emotionally immature people do stupid things without recognizing it's stupid since they're not mature enough (or wise enough) to realize this. Most of these accusations are an obvious case of abuse of power and manipulation in my opinion. They knew it was wrong but they did it anyway and they used their status and fame to do it.
@MrBlacky People in a club aren't competing or providing entertainment for others to enjoy. It's more like if the DJ and bouncers did something illegal. Or if there was a restaurant where you heard a couple of people were fired for spitting in the food. Would you want to go have lunch there? How do you know all the spitters were fired? That's just the natural human reaction. It's unfair but true.
@Nookingtons I generally agree that I couldn't care less about most articles on NL since they have little to do with actual Nintendo news (Brie Larson breaking up with a boyfriend over Super Mario Galaxy). But this is an exception. This is very relevant to Nintendo's competitive scene and should be brought to light.
@SSJW One bad apple can ruin the bunch. But if quick and decisive action is taken, there can be a restructuring. Requiring parent supervision for minors for starters.
@UmbreonsPapa I understand that going through the proper channels can lead to similar results. However, Twitter cannot dole out justice or provide legal counsel. Also, cops and lawyers usually don't send out death threats like randos on Twitter will (and have). Testimonies should be published on Twitter in tandem with legal counsel which gives much more credibility to the accusations in the eyes of most.
@Deliesh You have the right to believe what you want, and I agree that it's fine as long as no one harasses or takes action against the victim or accused.
My issue is when massive amounts of people take one side or the other to the extent that public opinion demonizes one or the other without knowing what happened for certain. Victims or accused people's lives and careers can be ruined just from public opinion which isn't fair to either.
Taking sides should not be encouraged without ample evidence.
@Tasuki This just as easily could've been Fortnite if it wasn't so heavily regulated by Epic Games. Cancelling Smash would also punish the victims and may discourage more from coming forward. Plus they're getting enough death threats already. This has to be a troll.
@TG16_IS_BAE Exactly. Why would people want to punish these victims even further by cancelling the pro Smash scene? They haven't been through enough already? The victims obviously love Smash and gaming in general and it's not fair to end it because these disgusting actions came to light. We may discourage others from doing the same. We need to move forward and find a way to repair the community and competitive scene.
We should always listen to victims and encourage them to come forward. Believing victims by default is a dangerous mindset however which is why in the U.S. people are innocent until proven guilty. Both sides need to be heard and evidence presented before someone is deemed guilty or a liar by anyone.
It also irks me that the victims won't go through the proper avenues (police, lawyers, etc.) when making accusations. Twitter is not the place to do this. We will have idiots taking sides and sending death threats and that doesn't solve anything.
Mobile games can be good but most Nintendo mobile games are not worth wasting the space on my phone. I would love to see them focus on making some neat casual games for Switch instead or just make some new IPs.

@UmbreonsPapa Then we agree lol. And social media should not be dismissed. It is a very powerful tool.

You would think the Pokemon Company would learn from Blizzard's mistake. "You guys have phones, don't you?"

Re: Paper Mario: The Origami King Combat And Companion Details Revealed
Thanks! This trailer saved me $60! Now hopefully Nintendo will reveal a Super Mario All-stars 2 I can use it for instead.
Re: Gallery: Paper Mario: The Origami King - 20 Gorgeous Screenshots And Box Art Revealed
Looks amazing, but as with any other Paper Mario game after TTYD it’s a wait and see for me.

@KoopaTheQuick We can only hope.
Re: Paper Mario: The Origami King Switch eShop File Size Revealed
Not a big game like Doom Eternal. But I'm gonna get a physical copy anyway assuming the game has more traditional combat mechanics like TTYD.
