That is brilliantly weird and I now want more pop-stars in the game. I want to play as Poppy fighting Taylor Swift than have Stray Kids battling Harry Styles!!!
@Maxz I dunno, that scene with Marilyn Monroe in a bathtub in Seven Year Itch is a good one too and Bound has lots plumbing scenes where you notice Gina Gershon fixes things without making a big fuss unlike the Mario Bros.
@GoshJosh the Mario movie is fine for what it is but on an animation wizardry level Spider Man is an absolutely gorgeous technical achievement and The Boy & The Heron is such a rich film in narrative and themes so it’s not really surprising Mario didn’t win.
In any case just look at it being given a nomination as an award itself rather than being disappointed it didn’t win.
@FishyS yep, a lot of non-gamers need to get out more too. You have got people now who just stare blankly at their phone for hours looking at garbage, even going to the pub you will see people at a table not talking to each but staring at their phones.
People, the internet is just for finding out information or to give you something to do when having a long poo!
My gym bag has the Tri-force on it and I always seem to get a random come up to me in the gym to start a conversation about Zelda. I once wore a Pokemon shirt at a gig (might have been Jamie T, I was very drunk at the time so I can’t remember exactly) where a girl came up to me to start a conversation about Pokemon as she thought I was wearing it to be trendy so she made me prove I do play Pokemon by naming the pokes on the shirt and I have lots of other examples of meeting gamers in the real world.
That being said I do find the shut in gamer types are insufferably boring to talk with.
Daredevil: Born Again is an incredible comic, just long and miserable in the best possible way. It’s also nice to see Rye Lane get some love, it’s a really good film and so many British films get ignored even by the Brits themselves.
Music for me was falling back in love with The Yeah Yeah Yeahs after seeing them at a festival. Movie wise Godzilla Minus One is like Toho putting a middle finger up at the American Godzilla films to remind them how to make a good Godzilla film. Telly I loved Extraordinary, the soundtrack slaps and the characters are fun and relatable. Books I really enjoyed Final Girls about a bunch of sole survivors from slasher horror type attacks attend a support group together. Comics I finally read the original Tank Girl run, so bloody brilliant.
If you plan on hunting that 21 bus from the pic go to a bar called Big Red and wait there since you can see it from the window. It’s a fun cheesy biker bar, I’ve spent many a merry night there.
@VoodooTrumpet you should try Edinburgh instead of Glasgow, it’s one of the best cities in the UK. Plenty of great restaurants, clubs, beaches, hiking spots, places to visit and deep fried mars bars to eat.
@Woodyshoe it SHOULD be alright, the Joycons are different and better tech than the Wii Remotes so it won’t be like the embarrassment of the Wii Samba De Amigo game.
Thing about this to me is with someone as brilliant as Masahiro Sakurai is why not have someone put under him to learn from and soak in all that know how and possibly take over the franchise, even if they don’t take over the franchise it’s a great way to develop younger talent.

That's Avengers in 2024 where everyone complains they don't like Marvel anymore and not Avengers in 2012 levels of hype. ;p

It’s nice to see it go the other way for once.
Re: Reynatis Is An Urban Fantasy RPG From Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts Writer
I can't imagine a worse way to sell a game than saying "from the Kingdom Hearts writer"!

That is brilliantly weird and I now want more pop-stars in the game. I want to play as Poppy fighting Taylor Swift than have Stray Kids battling Harry Styles!!!
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Games Would You Like To See Come To Switch?
Hi-Fi Rush, Sunset Overdrove and Psychonauts would be day one buys for me.

Booo! Give it a Western release already!

Hmm, I don’t think Nintendolife Towers, 3 Wario Wharf, Mushroom City, NL 47 FTW, Mushroom Kingdom is a real address.
Re: Thunderful Announces Restructuring That Will Affect Around 20% Of Workforce
That’s a shame. I love Zoink’s past games in particular Lost In Random plus the Steamworld games.

The real question is, will the mythical nude cheat code be included in this?

Re: The Easiest Nintendo Switch Games
Was this article inspired by @fizza forum posts?
*edit Actually never mind, I read the opening paragraph and commented rather than reading it all so I missed the thanks at the end.

Re: Plans Are Reportedly In Place To Celebrate Earthbound's 30th Anniversary
Great news! But I’ve got a feeling it will lead to the disappointment of no Western Mother 3 release.
Re: Talking Point: What Was The Best Switch Moment Of 2023?
I agree that moment that was mentioned in the article was a really great moment and we can all agree it was the best moment of the year.
Re: Feature: From Bon Jovi To Banjo - Grant Kirkhope On The "Complete Fluke" Of His Rare Musical Journey
I’ve got nothing to say other than this is top notch article and I’m surprised there are so few comments here.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2024
Huh, I thought Papers Please was already on the Switch.

I don’t agree on the Best Switch Icon 2023 Award, I find it really boring.
Re: Splatoon 3's Next Splatfest Kicks Off This Month With Regional Themes
Not sure why that is regional for the UK. It should be “do you greet your friends by calling them Bruv, **** or Oi”.

Re: Beyond Good And Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch
Fudge yeah! I loved the game at the time.
Re: Thank Goodness You're Here! Delights With British Humour And Surrealist Cartoon Vibes
@VoodooTrumpet you should try Edinburgh instead of Glasgow, it’s one of the best cities in the UK. Plenty of great restaurants, clubs, beaches, hiking spots, places to visit and deep fried mars bars to eat.

@CountDrakeulah Where you come from do you put the kettle on?

Re: Video: Sega Introduces The Characters Of Samba De Amigo: Party Central
@Woodyshoe it SHOULD be alright, the Joycons are different and better tech than the Wii Remotes so it won’t be like the embarrassment of the Wii Samba De Amigo game.
Re: Feature: So, Which Zelda Games Aren't On Switch Yet?
Since the list includes spin offs, do I get cred for saying the CDI and Satellaview games are missing?
Re: Soapbox: These Everyday Items Trigger Me Now, And I Blame Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Great read and I’m not sure why some are complaining, I’d take articles like this over new Switch rumours articles.
Re: Sakurai Can't Imagine Future Super Smash Bros. Games Without His Involvement

Re: New Splatoon 3 Splatfest Kicks Off Next Month
By love do they mean romance or making whoopee?
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Partners With Family Gaming, Brings Accessibility Info To Reviews And Game Pages
Great news for those who have trouble with these types of things.
I may use it myself to see if sound is required so I can listen to music/podcast as I play things.
Re: Poll: Which Dormant Nintendo Franchise Would You Most Like To See Return?

@hotgoomba they have already made a VR headset, twice. Labo VR which works with Zelda Breath Of The Wild and a few other games plus the Virtual Boy.
Re: AEW: Fight Forever Is Getting A Free 30-Player Battle Royale Mode Update
@Ryu_Niiyama that’s because of Hangman Page, he’s a cowboy a bit like when Undertaker was a biker wrestler and his entrance was a motorbike.
Re: AEW: Fight Forever Is Getting A Free 30-Player Battle Royale Mode Update
I thought it was a brilliant idea until I saw one of them had a gun in the trailer.
