Re: Round Up: It's April Fools' Day, Here Are The Best Gaming Gags We've Seen

The funny thing about the flexible screen thing is that they actually make flexible screens (not just small ones for phones, but full size monitor ones as well. If somebody wanted to they could actually recreate that product with some ease. Just a chassis, a bendable screen, and a mechanic in the center that retracts and extends. There would need to be some tinkering to make sure the extending mechanic doesn't create a crease, but it wouldn't be too hard to trial and error it.

Re: Microids Announces Plans For Not One, Not Two, But Three New Garfield Games

I actually liked Furious Racing. I got it for 2 bucks on Steam. Not worth full price but it's fun if you're a Garfield fan. I played for a few hours and didn't notice that many bugs or glitches. Microids doesn't have the best games, but they to on sale often. If you think their games are bad, look at the recent Popeye game. Asterix and Obelix are fun games, the Smurf one was good, and Garfield is at least enjoyable.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Then?

I wasn't expecting much, really just a few ports and some realistic things, but literally none of it happened. I didn't expect Switch Pro or any Zelda really, just a few things like Crash 4, Silksong, Pokemon Snap, and (not very realistically) an emulated port of Prime Trilogy. Instead, we got even less with the only big things (in my eyes) being Mario Golf, Zelda, and Splatoon. Even then, Zelda is controversial and a lot of people (myslef included) won't pay $60 for Splatoon 3 after Splatoon 2. Mario Golf was literally the only thing I liked in the direct, so it definitely did not live up to expectations, even though I was being as realistic as I could.

Re: Talking Point: What We're Hoping To See In Today's Nintendo Direct

I'm calling it is:
Crash reveal for Smash
Crash 4 info
Metroid Prime Trilogy (no 4. Just an emulated Prime Trilogy)
Pokemon Snap info
10 minute presentation with 7th gen ports from 3rd parties+a few Indie games
Silksong
Animal Crossing update
Switch Pro
Mario Oddysey 2 news (launches with Pro, plays on both consoles)
New Joycon colors
Switch Online games (still only NES and SNES. I think Nintendo is going to release their handheld games in collections eventually instead)

Since they are having a Direct for the first time in forever, I do think it is just something special to have a Switch Pro reveal. I think Nintendo is going to go back to the content drops after this.
The last 2 Smash characters definitely will be a Pokemon and I do think Waluigi has an actual chance. I think they were planning on adding him in Ultimate anyways, but the fan reaction made them think it would be a good idea to save it until last.
2nd to last Smash character in a Pokemon 25th Direct, and the last one in the Summer Direct I feel is going to happen for announcing late 2021 games.

I think Zelda stuff will be in a few weeks with a Zelda Direct with:
BOTW 2 teaser
Zelda Collection
Zelda 2D remake
