Shadow the Hedgehog is not a game I hate. But there is one point people use in defense of the game that is, no offense, pretty flawed.

It's a response to those who hate the fact that guns are in the game. The response goes "Sure the guns are there. But you don't have to use them."

Which isn't really the case. There are enemies present within the game, bosses and otherwise, that take forever and a half to defeat without the guns.

The 5 best Zelda games to make a Shonen Jump Style anime out of (In my opinion and in no particular order)

A Link to the Past: The 2d Zelda game that would be the most notable in terms of the anime being based on "traditional Zelda themes".

Ocarina of Time: The 3d Zelda game that would be the most notable in terms of the anime being based on "traditional Zelda themes". Also would be cool to see an expansion on the abilities of the Sages.

Minish Cap: I believe the theories out there about how Force, aka the stuff Force Gems are made out of in the Four Swords games, is a sacred power that dwells in all living things, and is also the energy used to cast magic. Minish Cap is the best Four Swords game to make this kind of anime out of given it's the only one that plays like a traditional Zelda game, and would be a good showing of Force being the source of magic since Vaati acquires at least part of the Light Force in this game. It would also be pretty neat to see some expanded abilities of the Four Elements that end up forging the Four Sword.

Breath of the Wild: One of the best examples of a Zelda game with plenty of characters to focus on given the efforts of multiple people of Hyrule preparing to oppose the Calamity. Also an expansion on the capabilities of Sheikah Technology.

Tears of the Kingdom: A character who ends up becoming a very creative builder of Zonai Technology would probably end up being one of my favorite characters.

There have been a ton of rumors about obtaining the Triforce in Ocarina of Time.

Arguably the most famous of which is the "Overture of the Sages" hoax from Ariana Almandoz.

But what if Nintendo were to release another remake of Ocarina of Time, but this time they make it so that this Overture of the Sages method for obtaining the Triforce actually works?

Yay or Nay?

If Dragalia Lost actually did a crossover event with Legend of Zelda I wonder what element Link would have been.

Weapon is obvious. Sword. But I’m not sure if he would have been Wind or Light for the element.

If Dragalia Lost had received a Xenoblade Collab during its run, Rex could have potentially been in a weird spot if Pyra and Mythra were also their own adventurers.

Not saying he couldn’t work. But if Pyra and Mythra are already using their own weapons they might want to do something different with Rex. Water Sword with his weapon before he found Pyra? Wind Axe with Rocs Scythe? Those are a couple ideas.

Torgo the Bear mentioned a few days ago how their ideal Mario Kart Roster would include Diddy Kong Racing Characters.

A fine idea in my opinion. But I also wonder if those characters being playable would mean the Diddy Kong Racing items would be added to the mix.

How big is the overall base of people who feel like the way Min Min plays in Smash goes against the flow of the game?

I used to think Min Min was not really a consideration for a character to cut but I’m beginning to wonder if she might be. And this is one of the reasons why.

Earlier this month, Champion of Hyrule told me about he thinks that Square Enix and Ubisoft are currently worse than EA.

And I will admit that this surprised me. I did already know about how Square was getting pretty ridiculous with things like the choice they made for Disiddia NT in an attempt to make it an esport. And how they got a little ridiculous with the Microtransactions in Chocobo GP.

And I also learned later on that Ubisoft apparently out out a really bad game for the PS5, I think it was called Forspoken, but that’s pretty much it.

Long Story Short, I don’t think I’m in the know about what’s so bad about Square Enix and Ubisoft lately.

If you're a fan of Avatar like I am than what I'm about to say will come as no surprise, but it kinda sucks that there's never been a good Avatar video game.

The Wii version of the very first Avatar game is a guilty pleasure for me I will admit, but it's still not a good game.

Honestly, probably the closest any Avatar game has gotten to being good was the Legend of Korra game that Platinum made. But even that was kind of bland.

Does anyone else here find the usefullness of Mario's Fireball Neutral B to be a bit questionable?

I'm not saying the move should be replaced. It absolutely should stay but maybe upgrade it a bit?

It might just be me, and there could very well be some flaws present in this mindset, but I feel like the Fireball isn't exactly a reliable move to use in a match.

I gotta ask, was Miiverse ever all that great?

That's a legitimate question. I had a couple bad experiences with some dumb trolls on it in the Wii U's first year and just kind of brushed it off as a result. Even in later years of the Wii U, I just never cared about giving it another shot.

So since I have practically nothing in terms of experience with it, I'm curious if it was actually good, or if was another example of the kinds of people that can make social media a migraine.

Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

Two games to where I have been waiting a long time for there to be really good remixes of their final boss themes.

I’ve been playing video games for 27 years and despite how many times during those years that I’ve heard people complain about fetch quests, I still to this day don’t know what a fetch quest is.

What can I say? I just never cared about looking it up.

Your PFP is asked to choose a favorite anime/manga character. Or at least one that they really really like. Who do they choose?

Mine would choose Mercphobia from Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest.

With some of the stuff we’ve seen from Tears of the Kingdom. Like the new weapons for Riju, the Rito Champion being Tulin instead of Teba, and the new abilities with Links Arm, I have to wonder if Tears of the Kingdom will get its own Warriors game like Breath of the Wild did.

Not 100% sure it will but I can at least say the idea has potential.

Back when Tears of the Kingdom was first revealed, a number of people wondered if Zelda would be playable.

Which is a fine idea, do not get me wrong. But it's always good to keep an open mind about these sort of unconfirmed things.

Personally speaking, my mindset from day 1 was that a playable Zelda would be cool, but I was keeping in mind the possibility that she wouldn't be. And with all the stuff the trailers have revealed, I think it's a pretty safe bet that she will not be playable.

Not saying that's a for sure thing, again, open mind, but I doubt it will happen at this point.

And if there are any leaks out there that prove this theory right or wrong, please do not tell me.

You think they’ll ever come out and say why Astor was never playable in Age of Calamity?

Datamines really make it seem like he was planned to be and even without that, it honestly just feels super weird that he’s not playable.

I have yet to get around to actually playing the 2nd Wave of Age of Calamity’s DLC. So I decided to wipe my data for that game clean and start fresh.

I forgot how much I hate Revali.

One of the reasons I like to try and complete games at 100% (or at full completion for games that go higher than 100%) is that it helps get the full experience of what the game has to offer.

However............Crash 4.

Haven't played it yet, but I've been made aware of how much of a pain it is to fully complete. So I kind of doubt I will try to do so if I ever play it, but at the same time I feel like I'd want to try do more than just complete the main story and be done with it.

So out of sheer curiosity, what would you guys say is the best way to strike a balance between the two with Crash 4?

I know there are quite a number of people online who have a disdain for EA. But that has been the case for a good while now and EA is still around and to my knowledge, still going strong. By which I mean there's not really any signs out there that they'll kick the bucket anytime soon.

That's gotta mean they're doing something right doesn't it?

My last post mentioned how Crash Tag Team Racing has a platforming overworld.

Now I don’t know if this is still the case, but I know Tag Team Racing wasn’t viewed with positive reception when it came out.

So for those who don’t view the game fondly (and anyone else who wants to answer) would Tag Team Racing have been better off as a platformer considering the overworld?

Despite being a Cart Racer, Crash Tag Team Racing had a platforming overworld set in an amusement park.

Did you know that the game also has a cheat code that turns the heads of every resident of the park into chickens?

And since the game lets you kill chickens, literally making them explode into nothing via the Spin Attack, this means that cheat code lets you decapitate everyone in the park.

What I'm about to mention could very well be speculative gossip that people claimed was true back in the 2000's but never actually was, but I heard back then that there were plans to give each playable character in Diddy Kong Racing their own game like what Banjo and Conker got. Aside from Diddy of course since he already had one.

Now let's assume that if Rare did end up going through with this, instead of just giving all of them a 3D Platformer they would only give about 1 or 2 of them a 3D Platformer (or none of of them would get one if you'd rather envision that) seeing as how Diddy, Banjo, and Conker already had the platformer genre covered (though Conker's Bad Fur Day doesn't exactly have typical platformer gameplay).

With that in mind, what kinds of games do you think each of those characters would star in?

A heads up for fellow spoiler dodgers. Word through the grapevine is that Tears of the Kingdom has leaked.

Yup. Another Nintendo Leak. Mario must not be a very good plumber.

My local Fred Meyer has one of those crane game machines installed.

Yesterday it had a Sonic plushy inside that was oddly aurora colored for a Sonic Plush.

It is a very common opinion that SpongeBob hit a major decline after season 3 and that one of the bad aspects of newer SpongeBob is how Mr. Krabs greed has turned him into a terrible person.

But greed and an obsession with money have been character traits of his from day 1. Which is why I could understand it if someone were to seriously wonder if Mr. Krabs was ever good.

In my opinion, yes, there was a time where despite his greed, Mr. Krabs was not a horrible person.

However the only episode I can think of to use as an example is “Pickles”, and even then I think some would try to argue that he only helped SpongeBob find himself again so he could get his money making fry cook back.

I personally do not believe this to be the case seeing as how he allowed Soongebob time off to gather his bearings, but back to the main point here.

Are there any episodes aside from Pickles that show a good side of Mr. Krabs.

In case anyone is unfamiliar with how the Tournament of Power works in Dragon Ball Super, you have 8 teams of 10 in a battle royale to knock all the members of every other team out of the ring, and the use of weapons and healing items is prohibted.

However, Zen-oh, the supreme god of everything who governs the rules for the tournament, would actively allow the "no weapons and items" rule to be broken if he thought the technique that used it was cool.

Which makes you wonder, 8 franchises with a playable character in Smash were to participate in a Tournament of Power styled battle royale, would characters like Link, Marth, and Cloud be ineligible to enter? Or would Zen-Oh allow them to break that rule and join because he's a fan of their games?

If I had to choose a preference, I would rather keep non-video game characters out of Smash.

That being said, if a couple of them were ever to become playable I wouldn’t hate it. I’d need some time to get used to it I’m sure. But if the character is fun to play then there’s no issue as far as I’m concerned.

And if I didn’t find the character fun to play? Well that’s just my opinion. Others would enjoy the character and the decision to include the character would never have been mine to make anyway.

Be it with malicious intent, or just to point out a coincidence, a number of people in the anime community notice traits of other anime characters in Asta from Black Clover.

I've seen him compared to Naruto a couple times, Asta's dream is very similar to that of Luffy, and in my own opinion, I think his appearance has a similar aura to that of Natsu.

So I wouldn't be surprised if Rock Lee is another character people compare Asta to given that they have the same trait of possessing a disability that prevents them from accessing the typical powers of their respective verses.

But if you ask me, it would be more accurate to compare Asta to Toph Bei Fong in this regard. Yes, Lee does have the trope in question here, but he just uses something else in the place of what his disability prevents him from having. Toph on the other hand is the best user of Seismic Sense in history because she's blind. And given how much that enhances her overall Earthbending, Toph is the type to where her disability is also her greatest ability.

Asta being capable of wielding the Five Leaf Clover Grimoire because he has no mana feels much more similar to Toph's Case.

I have yet to see the Mario Movie. I know I want to, but I kind of agreed to see it with a friend so we need to wait for the right moment for our schedules to allow time for it.

But I do want to know this. Without spoiling anything, what seems to be the more popular consensus about the movie? Like or Dislike?

One of things people who don’t like pineapple on pizza say against it is “Why would you put fruit on a pizza?!?!?!”

To which people who do like pineapple on pizza counter with the fact that tomato sauce is a staple pizza ingredient and tomato is a fruit.

Which has me curious. Do some people who don’t like pineapple on pizza try to claim that tomato is a vegetable in response to this?

Every once in a while I check out a website called blockfort.com which is a site dedicated to making Top 10s in blog form.

They have two Top 10s for wanted Smash Bros Characters. One for first parties, one for third parties.

#10 - Waluigi
#9 - Toad
#8 - Camilla (Fire Emblem Fates)
#7 - Skull Kid
#6 - Bald Bull
#5 - Ashley
#4 - Elma

#7 - Bomberman
#6 - 2B
#5 - Shantae
#4 - Geno
#3 - Kunio (The series with games like River City Ransom)
#2 - Lara Croft
#1 - Ryu Hayabusa

Any thoughts?

So guys, which one is worse?

Eating Habit A: The fact that I never put syrup on my Pancakes and Waffles.

or

Eating Habit B: The fact that since the only part of pizza I like is the crust, whenever I order a “pizza” it’s always from a parlor that will accommodate my request for it to be just the crust. No cheese, no sauce, no toppings, I only get the bread. And for those wondering, no, I am not lactose intolerant.

Obvious statement is obvious. But there does exist a problem within bits of the online smash community of placing too much importance on movesets being as much of a 1:1 adaptation of the source material as possible.

For example, I saw an idea once by the retired Smashtuber pizzadudemanguy of a concept for Marin from Link’s Awakening. Said concept pulled absolutely nothing from Marin’s moveset in Hyrule Warriors.

Instead, it used the fact that Marin is a singer as inspiration for a moveset that used the abilities of songs from all over the Zelda catalog. Like the song of birds from Spirit Tracks as a recovery move.

I think that’s a great idea. But it is the kind of idea that people might harp on because it doesn’t pull much from Marin’s “canon abilities”.

Such a thing can be viewed upon with too much negativity. As the disdain out there for the Wario Waft and certain Final Smashes shows.

Do gamers still use the terms "Scrub" and "Get Good" or are those pretty much outdated at this point?
