Champion of Hyrule

Judging from the trailers, Metroid Dread seems like a rather “no-frills” experience and for a series like Metroid, I like it.

I mean we’re probably going to get more items and definitely going to explore a new world, but as of right now it doesn’t really seem like we’re going to get many new series-changing gameplay mechanics or even just especially big new gameplay mechanics which is good because it’s been so long since the last truly new 2D Metroid. I could be wrong but that’s what I think as of now.

I know this may sound weird, but I feel like the masked man absolutely should never, ever be in smash because of how sad that would make people.

Like seriously, I don’t know how anyone looks at him and thinks about the tragic circumstances and story that lead to the existence of the masked man character and thinks “uhh yeah that guy should be in smash.” It just seems inappropriate and wrong to beat him up in a platform fighter.

This man has met both Obama and MLK

my post may have gotten taken down due to “inappropriate content” but the video was funny so it’s worth it

when fortnite is teaching more important things about history than american schools do

I actually really do prefer trophies to spirits, and I’m saying this as a person who actually used to collect every trophy and read every single description

I find it a bit underwheming how in mother 3, the big revelation that porky, a character from earthbound/mother 2 was the master of everything was really casually dropped a random chauffer really late into the game. I mean, for most people it wouldn't be that hard to guess porky was behind it given the enemies are called pork troopers, but still I sort of wish the game took this twist seriously, given porky was behind all the suffering of the game

newgrounds started as a neo geo fanzine and among us probably wouldn't have existed if it weren't for the henry stickmin games so the fatal fury series is indirectly responsible for the success of amogus

I've only watched it once as a kid and barely remember anything, but man, I still have so much nostalgia for the sam raimi spiderman trilogy

I really hope it doesn’t happen because I don’t want the very last character in ultimate to be a shill pick, but I do feel like a gen 8 pokemon has a pretty good chance of getting in

This is what those “shin megami tensei vs. super monkey ball” memes were building up to

Thanks for the follow!

There’s actually a lot of similarities between the menu design of some of the kirby games and the menu designs of smash.

I really think nickelodeon all-stars brawl doesn't need the two remaining tmnt's. It would be cool, but it's absolutely not a necessity like some people act like it is. Especially because as far as I can tell, the series isn't really all that associated with nickelodeon.

nintendo fans play a game that was made by another company challenge, difficulty level: impossible

the way the family guy videogame makes each of the cutaway gags a little minigame is actually pretty smart… y’know, for a family guy game

I love the fact that this was in my reccomended

I use smashboards but not in a speculationcore neosocial-threadesque ratetheirchancesish way. I’m more of a profile-postsian post-ultimate creation threadist.

I remember there being a “leak” for dragon ball fighterz that was actually pretty similar to the purple leak. Apparently when you went onto the page for the upcoming DLC characters, the background was a different colour for each character even though they haven’t been released yet, and so lots of people thought the colours would signify which character was going to be added. Of course the difference is the dbfz leak actually like, y’know, made sense.

As far as I know, the colours were pretty much unrelated to the characters that got added which is a bit strange.

I feel like fountain of dreams is a kind of overrated stage

you thought endgame ruined thanos’s villain motivation? marvel what if episode 2 did it way, WAY worse.

When you think about it, Smash is the kind of series that’s actually very easy to do without it’s original creator. Sakurai retiring from the series and working on other games might actually be beneficial to the series IMO.

Did not expect to hear the word “mastication” in the trailer for the new addams family sequel.

I’ve played earthbound and mother 3 on an emulator and sometimes when I have one character left and just took mortal damage, and so I just say screw it and press the fast forward button and just press bash as fast as I can each turn.

Funnily enough it’s actually worked quite a few times

Even though it can be so easily go disproven, I bet there’s still gonna be people saying the leak is true.

how much you wanna bet someone liked blocked content will make a video covering this “leak?”

I’m glad I was wasnt on this site for a couple minutes and missed the mass purple hysteria

It’s honestly pretty sad when one member of the family is the butt of all jokes in a sitcom and is never taken seriously

Sometimes I like to go through the “latest activity” page on this site, and it’s kind of funny when most of the things are completely out of context

Okay, just hear me out:
I feel like it’s okay to deliberately not listen to any negative of a game or a movie you love from your childhood.

So the reason I think this is that a lot of the time these bits of media can become so special that they’re intrinsically linked to childhood memories. So I know this sounds strange, but it’s simply perfectly fine for people to not want to hear criticisms of these things to preserve these happy memories because it makes their life nicer. People who say this “ruins their childhood” are obviously exaggerating but sometimes it’s a little devastating to realize something you felt like you based your life on as a kid doesn’t hold up anymore.

The problem comes when people don’t let others make those criticisms, and willingly read those ciriticisms with a confirmation bias against them. So if someone favorite game as a kid was ocarina of time (I’ll use that as an example because I feel like there are a lot of people this applies to with that game specifically) they’re allowed to go on the internet and ignore negative takes on the game. But it’s problematic when they try to act like they know everything about the game and participate in nuanced discussions of the game with this in mind and try to debunk or shut down legitimate criticisms of the game when it’s so tied to their personality for them. People are allowed to not look at criticisms of a thing they liked as a kid of they want to, they just shouldn’t act like they’re an expert on the topic and have the self awareness to not try and argue against criticisms if they’re not going to even consider the idea of criticism

Apparently watson amelia has said she doesn’t think annyoing orange counts as a vtuber in one of her streams.

I dunno, sounds like vtuber gatekeeping to me.

The term was apparently created by incels and some pretty bad people, but now as far as I can tell it seems most of the people who unironically consider themselves “sigma males” and watch/make a majority of the “sigma male grindset” videos don’t have ideas/worldviews that are nearly as dangerous as incels.

Seeing people fall into lava and lose their stuff in minecraft anymore isn’t funny anymore, it’s just painful.

I keep on forgetting FromSoftware makes Sekiro. Part of it is that people just don’t talk about the game anymore, but also because dark souls and bloodborne are both talked about so much and have had such a cultural impact. Feels like sekiro just isn’t part of the conversation when people discuss those games

Ngl footage from most 3DS games look really bad when played on a big screen like a TV or something

I have some thoughts on the whole news with onlyfans but I really don’t think I’ll be able to get away with talking about topics like that on smashboards

I have been playing Mother 3 at a pace of one chapter per day and will probably make a long post about my thoughts on it once I'm done

I want an assassins creed rep in smash so we can actually get 1700s sea chanties in the game

I do like the idea of adding non-main characters before the main character of a series gets in smash, but the idea of adding a monster from resident evil before the main character is so weird to me, and I think it really just wouldn’t represent the series well.

Really, the only series I can see an enemy getting in before a main character is dragon quest, where that didn’t happen, and maybe pyramid head from silent hill. There might be some others I’m forgetting about though.

I feel like a lot of those "redditor minecraft fans" that hate fortnite have a genuine victim complex. They all seem so anxious about Fortnite replacing their game, and their childhood game being forgtten, even if that's a dumb way of thinking

You have 45 dollars, what are you buying?
