  • Yo Nintendo.
    You know how you have NES and SNES Online for Switch Online subscribers?
    You know what would make that $20 a year feel more worth the cost of entry? Bring the NES and SNES Online apps to mobile and sell a Nintendo-branded Bluetooth controller that fits itself to mobile phones.
    Cha-ching!
    Yo Bandai-Namco. Please bring back full AAA $60 Pac-Man games. You remember Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness for the PSX? Expand upon that with like 80 levels, and I'd scoop that up immediately.
    My heart is in a state of limbo. It's too early to call it love, but I'm so interested in her.

    Nevermind. She texted back. We're not official yet, but we're talking. <3
    If Capitalists actually cared about their workers, they'd pay them a living wage rather than spending millions on ads about how much they care about their workers.
    It's gonna be Spring Man for the same reason our Street Fighter rep was Ryu.

    Pikachu was ALWAYS the mascot. At one point, it was planned to be Clefairy, but Pikachu was still the marketed mascot, like Spring Man. Unless ARMS is intended to swap around its cast, Spring Man is still the face of the series.

    Pikachu was not always the mascot- the orginal mascots were the starter Pokemon. That's why they are on the boxes.
    Pikachu only emerged as the mascot, even if it only took a short time.
    https://www.techtimes.com/articles/131097/20160205/how-pikachu-became-the-mascot-for-pok%C3%A9mon.htm (There are many more articles like this)

    Clefairy was going to be the mascot because that is what the protagonist had in the manga.
    PIkachu was not conceived of as the mascot. In fact- there are new reports by the creator of Pikachu that have emerged (along with the original third evolution) as to how THAT came to be- I dont have time atm to find the youtube but i'm sure youd quickly find it :D
    Another day, another fake feminist.
    **** you, Malayna! You spread nasty rumors and don't even acknowledge that you're bigoted to Autistic people!
    As a former fat guy that still loves all the greasy, delicious food that once made me a fatass, my weight loss tip is this:
    You can still eat ****ty food, but limit it to one item a day, or less than 1,000 calories. ONE burger. ONE shake. ONE pizza slice. ONE quesadilla. ONE donut.
    But save one day of the week to where you can eat whatever you want. Commonly called a "cheat meal". My most common cheat meal is a 12 inch pizza. But every other day is just one slice.
    You ain't gotta count calories meticulously, but keep a rough idea on how many you've eaten, and limit yourself.
    Also, for exercise, if you hate cardio, lift. Lifting is fun, as you can see results immediately whereas cardio takes time to notice how much better you got. Cardio's probably good for overall health, but if you just wanna burn calories, hit the barbells. Squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. Those are the fun ones.
    I'm all the bad things that you see.
    But trust me, there is more to me.
    I'm a hornet, with butterfly wings.
    A banshee, that beautifully sings.
    An angel, with demonic horns.
    A rosebush, that's tainted by thorns.
    Just asked out my dream girl. Awaiting reply.
    Gordon Ramsay may think that American food is greasy, unsophisticated, and disgusting.
    But I think that American food is greasy, unsophisticated, and delicious!
    According to recent rumors, in the near future we are getting new Mario, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, and Kirby games in 2021.
    It's a good time to be a mascot platformer fan.
    And if I close my mind in fear, please pry it open. See me.
    And if my face becomes sincere, beware. Hold me.
    And when I start to come undone, stitch me together. Save me.
    And when you see me shut, remind me of what left this outlaw torn.
    Someone I knew from High School has been given weeks to live.
    Times like this make me wish that I could be Superman and make all the bad things go away.
    I swear, every time I go through my old notes of songs I've been writing for a while, I find that I've always sped the song up over time.
    Reminder: It's Spring Man.

    That's extremely shallow, @Madame Lesley.
    What happens when FP6 rolls around, and it's Spring Man with alts for Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, and Min Min? Will it be my fault for predicting the obvious?

    I will laugh at you fools as Biff is announced as the true FP6
    And Educational List of Far-Right Ideologies to Watch Out For:

    1. Authoritarianism: The general belief that social hierarchy is the most efficient, effective, preferable, natural, and/or pragmatic form of governance, however mild or extreme. Generally the social hierarchy is enforced through Capitalism. Most mainstream politicians are mildly Authoritarian.

    2. Alt-Right: Any form of right-wing Ideaology, usually extreme, outside of mainstream right-wing ideology.

    3. Fascism: The use of government to enforce social hierarchy, often through dictatorship.

    4. Corporatism: A form of extreme Capitalist Fascism where a state is ruled by the Capital holders and business elites.

    5. Theocracy: The use of government to enforce a particular religion. Churches are often part of the government.

    6. Identitarianism: The belief that one's primary identity is their race.

    7. Nationalism: The belief that one's nation, race, or geographic region, is superior to others.

    8. Race Realism: The belief that certain races are genetically inferior to others.

    9. Nazi Adjacency: The belief that a cabal of elitists conspire to harm or wipe out the white race, usually through immigration of non-whites into majority-white nations.

    10. Nazism: Continued from Nazi Adjacency, that cabal is the Jews.

    11. Ethnostatism: The belief that nations should be defined by race and/or enforce a quota for how many people of certain races can enter a country either through genocide or race-based immigration policy.

    12. Imperialism: The belief that one's nation and/or culture is superior to others and should be spread internationally through military force.

    I think you meant to post this on your college assignment lol
    Ben Holt
    Ben Holt
    Nope. I actually dropped out of college, as in the United States, it's a debt trap. So instead, I am self educated. But to address your point, academia is already aware of these ideologies. It is common people that need to be aware of these things to be able to recognize and prevent them.
    2021 is:
    Mario's 40th Anniversary
    Donkey Kong's 40th Anniversary
    Zelda's 35th Anniversary
    Metroid's 35th Anniversary
    Sonic's 30th Anniversary
    Crash Bandicoot's 25th Anniversary
    Pokémon's 25th Anniversary
    Switch's 10.0.0 Update where you can transfer data from your console to an SD card and vice versa is Nintendo preparing for a Switch SKU in the future with multiple SD card slots. Bet.
    Reminder that Piranha Plant got into Smash before Toad and Waluigi.
    That's whack.

    What do you mean the Crate Box from CTR? When has that been put in Smash, is there something I'm missing?

    Oh wait, are you talking about Hero?

    Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled added a "character" that is nothing but the Iron Checkpoint Box from Crash Bandicoot 3. I see it as worse than PP.

    But we all agree that Bandana Waddle Dee is deconfirmed because Goomba with a hat. Right?
    Controversial statement #2: Japan has an ethnostate problem.
    I normally speak about American issues, as I am an American, but I cannot ignore the reactionary culture of the home of my favorite forms of entertainment.
    Japan has problematic culture when it comes to nationalism, racism, immigration, sexism, and Capitalism to name a few. Though they succeed in public infrastructure and their welfare state, Japan is unfortunately used as justification for white nationalist ethnostatists in the West, because Japan is a well functioning, successful ethnostate. This MUST be recognized and addressed.
    Controversial statement #1: Sonic Unleashed is a great game. It's just different like Mario Sunshine. The Werehog is Sonic's version of Mario's F.L.U.D.D. The only reason its reception was mixed is because the previous entry was Sonic '06, and fans were suffering from an identity crisis. The Sonic Cycle is an overblown myth. The only bad MAIN SERIES Sonic game was '06. Boom is a spin-off.
    Controversial statement #2 coming soon.

    I assume you consider Shadow to be a spin-off then?
    Ben Holt
    Ben Holt
    I'm not gonna lie. It may be because I haven't played the game since I first beat it in 2005 (I'd have been 11), but I didn't find Shadow the Hedgehog to be offensive.
    But you're right. Shadow the Hedgehog counts as main series, though in the sense that Yoshi's Island: Super Mario World 2 is a main series Super Mario game.

    Also, some people dislike Sonic Heroes, but I absolutely adore that game.
    The main issue with people disliking Sonic games is that Sonic hasn't had a permanent moveset like Mario has since 64.
    He's had Adventure-style, Heroes-style, Boost-style, and Lost World-style.
    It may be the fact that Platformers are my favorite genre, and I've played a plethora of them, but I have thouroughly enjoyed EVERY main series Sonic title except '06.
    Hell, I'd have probably liked '06 had it not been half-baked and unfinished. I like the idea of Sega making an ambitious Sonic game. Just don't force it out for a certain date.
    If Sega went back and fixed Sonic '06 and rereleased it, I'd give it an honest try. Call it Sonic 0-Fixed.
    I find it odd how many people think that our ARMS character is NOT going to be Spring Man. Had he not been an Assist Trophy, people would be considering him a lock.
    But my argument is this: Name ONE time where the first playable Smash character from a series was not either the main protagonist or the de-facto mascot of the series. Spring Man is both.
    Politics is like driving in the UK:
    The left lane gets you to your destination, the right lane gets you into head-on collisions, and the center gets you into head-on collisions.

    Look up Martin Luther King Jr.'s writings on "white moderates".
    That's probably the most relevant contemporary example of this political phenomenon.

    I'm not really invested in politics. To me it's just another way for people to hate each other for no reason and not think about their own personal issues. But I find it silly that you use a metaphor that relies on people just deciding to do things one way while the other two options are just as viable. I can't drive on the left in Finland but can on the right, so does that mean that the political left is correct in countries with this system?

    Try being part of the UK that has political rules so far different from the rest of it.
    I have a funny idea for a status, but I'm afraid that people will take it seriously.

    post it but with the disclaimer that it's actually the big funny
    Random prediction:
    Crash will be announced at E3 2021 and release September 2021 as FP10 to celebrate his 25th anniversary (Goddamn, I'm getting old.)!

    Don't think that everything has to coincide with an anniversary of sorts.

    Fine, womanizer. Have your fun.

    I don't, but that's why it's called speculation.
    Please don't bring my personal life into this. My partners have all agreed to be "womanized", but plenty of men also agree to the same. Never have I acted without complete consent.
    I'm not sure what I did to piss you off so much. I never had any sour feelings toward you until you hurt me. You said that it was because of how I jump to conclusions, but you misunderstood my intent. I only pointed where the evidence led, and during FP5 speculation, both Verge and Sabi played Coy, so it was hard to pin anything down. I merely intended to keep you up to date with who was the flavor of the week. The only time I felt more than 50/50 on a character was KOS-MOS, but I fully admitted to being wrong. Byleth slipped under ALL our noses.
