Probably not the best example, but watching this video made me think "If a fan mod could make 24 racers work with retro tracks, then maybe Mario Kart Switch 2 can, too."

I’ve actually been thinking of something; you guys remember Luke from Street Fighter? He was the last DLC character in Street Fighter V before making his proper debut in Street Fighter VI, where he was meant to debut originally.
I guess what I’m saying is, it would be novel if Ultimate got one last DLC newcomer who was backported from the next Smash game as a teaser for the next Smash game.
I just realized that there’s a non-zero chance of Universal-branded DLC in the next Mario Kart, since Universal and Nintendo are business partners.
After how much of an opportunity Nintendo missed with Tate Mode, I seriously hope the rumored mouse functionality doesn't make a similar mistake of not using for DS emulation.
Supid headcanon of mine: A "canon" version of the events of Shadow the Hedgehog takes place at the same time as the events of Sonic Rush. My only real basis is the fact that both games share the same initial release date: November 15th, 2005.

With how much of a darling that both Metaphor and Persona 3 Reload were for Atlus, both of them being their fastest-selling titles, I could see them getting representation in the next Smash game in some form. Maybe Metaphor will get a DLC fighter with or without a Switch 2 port? After all, the lack of a Persona 5 Switch port in 2019 didn’t stop Joker from being the first character revealed for Fighters Pass Vol. 1.
If I had known sooner that I share a birthday with Haru Okumura, I probably would’ve asked for Persona 5 for my 17th birthday for that reason alone.
I just had a though; what if the next Smash game had a Gen 9 Pokémon newcomer in the base roster…but then also had a Gen 10 Pokémon as a bonus DLC character?
If Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers started today do you think bigots would call it “woke” for turning one of the Rangers into a girl
I just came up with a new idea for Battle Modes in the next Mario Kart game, though this is built around my idea of Item Boxes giving you three items at all times (a la Mario Kart Tour): an Attack, Shield, and Speed item, respectively.
- Balloon Battle
- Each player holds up to three balloons at a time
- If one of your balloons gets popped, picking up an Item Box fills one of your slots with a spare balloon
- The less balloons you have, the better times you can get. If you only have one balloon, there’s a chance to get a Special Item.
- Coin Blast
- A variation of Bob-omb Blast that uses Coins
- In this mode, collecting more coins allows you to open up more slots for holding Bob-ombs to score points with
- You start out with 0 coins, and thus can only hold one Bob-omb at a time
- Collecting 5 coins lets you hold two Bob-ombs at a time
- Collecting 10 coins lets you hold three Bob-ombs at a time
- Collecting 15 coins puts you in a temporary Frenzy state where you chuck Bob-ombs to your heart’s content
- Getting hit causes you to drop three coins
- Shine Runners
- Returning from Mario Kart DS, functioning how it did back then
- Each player has a time limit above their heads, which resets whenever you pick up a Shine (which you can only hold for a few seconds). If it runs out, the player is eliminated
- There are a limited amount of Shines on each battle map, which decreases with each player eliminated
- Renegade Roundup
- Players on either side can pick up a key from within an item box
- Renegades can use keys to break out of their cage, while the Authorities can use keys to relocate their cages
Every further Waluigi-related argument I see here just makes this tweet more and more relevant.
Boys had their fun last year with Shadow the Hedgehog. Now it’s real men’s turn.
Pokémon Center has just updated and it seems that 2025 is the "Year of Eevee", even with its own logo. Presumably this is just a merch celebration.

With Prismatic Evolutions releases covering all year, it makes sense.

How to fix Nintendo Switch Online in 3 easy steps:
- Upgrade to more modern online server technology
- Make the basic online features of your games not locked behind the subscription service
- As far as said subscription service, combine the regular and expansion packages into a single package that costs, at most, $29.99 a year
After thinking about it, I’ve become a little more open to the next Mario Kart dabbling in more guest content…but only a little. Hence,
I've decided to do what Delzethin did and make two Mario Kart rosters: one that's focused on Mario-adjacent content, and another that dabbles into guest content. Only two things will be 100% consistent:
- 40 characters at launch
- 48 tracks at launch

I've been listening to some Sentai insert songs, and man...I wish at least of the Sentai music made it into Power Rangers. The Red Puncher song from Ohranger particularly sounds like a song that would be right up Ron Wasserman's alley.
Happy New Year!
I’ve been thinking about some of the comments I’ve made those year about “what if the Jim Henson Creature Shop made Power Rangers” and now I’d like to imagine such a timeline. Maybe the franchise would feel less overtly cheap, limitations of tokusatsu aside? Maybe the Creature Shop would be able to collab with Toei to design some Super Sentai characters? Would the PR side of things still continue the practice of splicing in Sentai footage?
With the Switch’s 2024 holiday season out of the way (Merry Christmas, btw), I can see the Switch 2 being revealed in January and then releasing in either May or June next year.
Merry almost Christmas! Here’s my Steam wishlist, if anyone’s interested. https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561199492787847/?sort=dateadded
Just got out of Sonic 3.

Assuming you haven’t seen the movie yet…boy, have I got good news for you (I’m not gonna spoil it, of course).
Anyone here remember Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time? It used a special engine called Pollux that allowed the DS version to be emulated via the Wii version.
However, this engine was never used again, not even by Square Enix. Which is a shame, because I can name at least 20 DS games that would get mileage out of this engine.

I think one of the worst parts of the creative process is when you have a million ideas dancing in your head, but then you never have the motivation to bring them to life even when you have plenty of free time.
What do you guys think of this Sonic overhaul mod?
You know what I just realized? The world really did end in 2012…except the Mayan calendar didn’t predict the world being ravaged by natural disasters. It predicted Disney’s buyout of LucasFilm enabling the monopoly under their grimy, money-hungry grasp.
Here’s my plans for Kingdom Hearts in 2025:
- Get myself a new laptop that can run melonDS
- Purchase 1.5+2.5, 2.8, and 3 on Steam once I have the money
- Play the games in the following order:
- Kingdom Hearts
- Chain of Memories (primarily the 1.5 version unless Nintendo drops the GBA version on NSO)
- Kingdom Hearts II
- 358/2 Days (melonDS)
- Birth by Sleep
- Re:Coded (melonDS)
- Dream Drop Distance
- Kingdom Hearts 0.2
- χ Back Cover
- Kingdom Hearts III + Re:Mind
- Catch up on Everglow’s KH Timeline Project
If Mario Party gets a stage in the next Smash game, how would you guys feel if the stage was Mario's Rainbow Castle, with the main gimmick being the top of the castle switching between Toad and Impostor Bowser? There could also be a handful of spaces indicated by projections of them.
Hey.
Guess how old I am today.
Hey it'd be cool to see a part 2 for https://smashboards.com/threads/the-switch-7-potential-switch-era-newcomers.523060/ for instance both Emio and Mario Wonder have come out since you posted
I’m planning on getting a new laptop for Christmas, and then save up enough money to get the entire KH series on Steam and play the following KH games:
- Kingdom Hearts (2002)
- Chain of Memories (2004)
- Kingdom Hearts II (2006)
- 358/2 Days (2009)
- Birth by Sleep (2010)
- Re:Coded (2011)
- Dream Drop Distance (2012)
- 0.2 (2017)
- Kingdom Hearts III (2019)
Today marks the 20th Anniversary of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.

This fan-favorite entry is one of the most well-known games in the series, especially in the West. Its latest release was on 3DS with new party members and features.https://t.co/Qm9VJRCnJR pic.twitter.com/tnDVCZ8Tm2
One of my favorite YouTuber running gags is when the background music slowly gets louder for comedic / dramatic effect.
I had a dream last night that the Switch 2 was revealed at the Game Awards. - Balloon Battle
