On March 31st, 2021, Mario died by tripping down Bowser's stairs and now he's floating to Heaven to the afterlife:

Since Mario is dead, Luigi is the star now.

You wouldn't believe how Mario died today:


That evil ***** Peach cruelly asked him to come down the stairs to get some cake and he tripped down to his death all because of that ***** telling him to come down. If only she didn't do that, Mario would still be with us.

Tomorrow:

On March 31st, Mario disappears forever:

It's so boring around here.

I just got me Season 3 of Duck Dodgers the other day so now I finally have the whole series on DVD. It's weird, but I recently found out Season 3 didn't come out on DVD until sometime in 2019 while Seasons 1 and 2 came out on DVD in 2013. I don't know why they waited so long to release Season 3 on DVD as they left us Duck Dodgers fans hanging for while without having the whole series on DVD.

Just got me the Mario 35th Anniversary Game & Watch as well as my 4th copy of Mario 3D All Stars before they disappear off the shelves forever on March 31st.

So Iroh's voice actor would like to see a spin off about old uncle Iroh:



This would be amazing.

So since I saw my local Best Buy stop selling DVDs in stores, I've been buying a lot of Blu Ray/DVD boxsets and movies as of late. Bought me all 4 seasons of Star Wars: Rebels series on Blu Ray, the rest of the Inuyasha Blu Ray sets that are currently available that I didn't have before including the Complete Series boxset for the Final Act, Samurai Jack the Complete Series on Blu Ray, ect. I'm getting me all my favorite franchises and movies on Blu Ray or DVD before they make everything digital. I fear that time is soon upon us.

So I went to my local Best Buy a couple of days ago and I notice literally the entire DVD/Blu Ray/4K section was empty. I told a guy working there that I have never seen it this empty before and he told me that "They were taking all the DVDs off the shelves and going to start selling all of it online and that everything was going digital." Honestly, I don't like this as I would like to buy my movies in the stores and physically. I don't like the thought of everything going digital in the future.

Omg I'm dead:

Who knew Toad was the Sith lord this whole time:


He's a bigger threat to the Mushroom Kingdom than Bowser as Toad is just playing the long game to steal the throne from Peach.

The Monster Hunter costume didn't return with the Rathalos costume. I think this almost confirms Concert leak which would mean Crash and Monster Hunter are in.

The thing I'm hoping for the most in the Presentation in 7 minutes from now is the announcement of Fighter's Pass 3. Unlikely, but hopefully.

Is it wrong that I have 3 copies of Super Mario 3D All Stars on me? I think it's ridiculous that Nintendo is going to stop production on this collection forever at the end of March and scalpers are going to feed off of the price jacking after this collection is off of the shelves forever. I just wanted to make sure I had a extra copy on me in the unlikely scenario where my original copy stops working and another to give to a close friend as a possible gift in the future. I prepared myself before the scalpers **** us over.

It's been so boring around here lately that I feel like I'm falling asleep.

I think I'm going to take a 3 month break from SmashBoards after the Pyra/Mythra Presentation. Y'all won't see me until around E3 time if that's happening and actually, I need a break from Smash speculation all together.

Strong Badam , I know you already showed me how to embed images and gifs on mobile, but could you help me embedding how to embed images from my phone? I created a link for one of my photos and put it in the image box and it didn't work. It wouldn't embed.

I'm so excited about the whole ACU and the Avatar Studio news. Are y'all? There's so much they could cover like:

- Any of the past avatar's pasts like Roku, Kyoshi, Wan, ect.

- They could cover Aang and Team Avatar's lives after the 100 Year War and before the events of The Legend of Korra showing how Republic City came to be and how it evolved.

- They could animate all the Dark Horse Comics.

- They could show Azula's potential redemption story and how her entire life went after the Avatar series, Search and Smoke & Shadows.

- They could cover how the Red Lotus came to be and their fight with Korra's dad, Tenzin, Zuko and Sokka.

- They could cover Team Korra's lives after the events of The Legend of Korra series.

- They could cover the story of the next Avatar after Korra.

There's unlimited potential here.

So imagine, we don't hear anything about the next Smash DLC character until E3 in June and they announce Fighter's Pass 2's last two characters are Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. I'm not really into Crash, but I love Spyro and seeing those PS1 mascots finally make it into Smash together would be hyped as hell. Plus, this would be one hell of a way to end Ultimate's roster. It's not going to happen, but a man can dream right?

Dinosaur Planet and Star Adventures cutscenes comparison:


It's pretty interesting how a lot of these scenes didn't change much from the transition to the N64 to the GameCube version outside of the graphics.

I'm going to be so disappointed if the last two Fighter's Pass 2 characters are characters everybody and their mommy have been speculating about and predicting. That's my fear of the ending outcome for this game. But at least I will be very thankful for the inclusions of K. Rool, Ridley, Banjo & Kazooie, Sephiroth and all the veterans as well as them bringing back almost every stage in Smash history. I got 3 of my top 5 most wanted characters in Ultimate with K. Rool, Ridley and Banjo & Kazooie that I've all waited for since Melee so this is a win for me no matter how this game ends. Though, I just wish at least one of the last characters are another character I want as greedy as that sounds lol.

So I saw this walkthrough of the build of Dinosaur Planet that was dumped today and I notice some interesting differences:

- General Scales doesn't fall off the ship like he does in Star Fox Adventures and he teleports himself away after he confronts Krystal.

- Randorn gives us a little insight on the history of Dinosaur Planet and the universe and how at the beginning of time, the Krazoa ruled and how there was peace. We never got really any info on the history of Dinosaur Planet in Star Fox Adventures.

- Randorn gives you a spellbook. General Scales tore out some of the pages so you'll have to look for those to gain spells.

- It appears Krystal doesn't get trapped in that crystal by the suppose Krazoa spirit like in Star Fox Adventures as Fox first appears in the snow level where he first meets Tricky.

- Everything else besides everything above thus far seems pretty much the same as in Star Fox Adventures as Fox first meets Tricky the same way and he goes after Scales' men on those motor vehicles just like in the final version of Star Fox Adventures.

Some very interesting stuff.

So after all these years, a playable build of Dinosaur Planet has just been dumped onto the Internet:


The guy that dumped this said they got this build from a private collector in Sweden which in a way, kind of pisses me off since the dude probably had this in his collection for years instead of sharing it with the Internet until now.

Y'all going to get a kick out of this:

So the electricity in my neighborhood went off last night and than it came back on a couple of hours later. I'm afraid it will go off again at any moment because Houston in the past few days has been experiencing power outages.

So now that we know Pokemon Trainer type characters can be DLC, that has really given me hope in us getting Goemon/Ebisumaru/Sasuke/Yae all together in Smash someday if they ever decide to add Goemon. They switch out with each other in their games and I think it would be the best way to put Goemon and the whole Goemon Gang together in as it would be a more interesting and diverse fighter conspect than with just Goemon alone.

For a just normal Nintendo Direct, this was kind of underwhelming especially for the fact this was the first Nintendo Direct we've had since September of 2019. The only thing I liked about it was the Pyra reveal, the Famicom Detective Club remake and Skyward Sword HD. But everything else was underwhelming to me.

I've predicted Skyward Sword HD was going to happen for years. They released Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD on their 10th anniversaries, so it would make sense for them to save Skyward Sword HD for 2021 10 years after it came out.

Famicom Detective Club is finally coming to the west after all these years we did it! Ayumi is likely for Smash in the future now as a potential future Retro rep.

I think today we are either going to see Elma, Lloyd, Yuri or Chun-Li as the next DLC Smash fighter. I'm putting Eggman in my list of possible candidates as well as a leftfield pick.

Well, the electricity is back on in my neighborhood, but I heard they're turning the power off at 6:00 PM which sucks. The water is back on for the moment so me and my family at least got to take showers, wash our hands, clean the dishes, ect. We filled water into big buckets from the bathtub so when the city shuts off everyone's power tonight, we'll have emergency water to use.

Well, I'm calling it quits for today since I want to save my battery on my phone and charge it while the generator is on because of our situation without electricity in Houston. I'll see y'all tomorrow when the Nintendo Direct drops.

My predictions for tomorrow's Nintendo Direct:

- Zelda 35th Anniversary Collection with Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword in it.

- Metroid Prime Trilogy port announced for Switch.

- Update on the progress of Metroid Prime 4 maybe even some early gameplay footage.

- New DKC game being developed by some other developer besides Retro.

- N64 and Gameboy games coming to Switch Online.

- Xenoblade X port announced for Switch.

- Smash character announcement with it being either Elma from Xenoblade X or Loyd or Yuri from Tales Of.

While I would normally be excited ever the news of us getting a Nintendo Direct after a year and a half without having one, most of Houston has been without electricity since yesterday and they don't know when it will come back on. It's actually been snowing here and a lot of people are struggling to get gas. Me and my family have been using our generator to keep electricity running in our house. Though, I don't know how long we'll last with the generator as everyone in Houston is struggling to get gas.

I'll try to watch the Nintendo Direct tomorrow, but I got to charge my phone whenever we have the electricity on so I have to use it more carefully as I will need it in emergency situation.

Well, R RetrogamerMax , I am taking your recommendation, and trying Banjo & Kazooie! This is my first time playing a Nintendo 64 game, and also my first three-dimensional platformer.

This is gold especially the beginning:

YouTooz is making figurine statues of Banjo & Kazooie, Tooty and Bottles:


Now, I wonder if we'll see Gruntilda and Mumbo.

My life is complete:

It was such a wasted opportunity for them not to make the Tifa, Aerith and Barret Mii costumes their low poly PS1 models. It would have fit perfectly and have a bit more charm to them.
