If there's one thing I've learned from Smash speculation, it's that "too much evidence" is indeed a reason something won't happen.

Since I was talking about the missing spirits on the comments of my previous status, I figured I should make a mock-up for a "Those Who Remain" spirit event promo image.
I love the fact that when Nintendo made a game specifically for Americans they plastered the word "Cola" over everything to substitute for references to actual American culture.
Still a great game though.
If I had to cut any of the original 12, Captain Falcon would be first on the chopping block - not Jigglypuff.
Watching the DYKGaming video on Epic Mickey a while back got me thinking about what other Epic games based on Disney's core universe they could've made alongside Epic Mickey and Epic Donald.
Epic Pete where you stand in for the many Disney villains, Epic Pluto where you have to rescue Mickey instead of the usual owner-saves-dog plot, Epic Goofy (or hell, even just Epic Max) which swaps the 30s aesthetic for the 90s, so much potential.
Video game consoles during the night:
"How many people do you think will buy your game?"
Me at the investors' meeting:
I'm trying to figure out what tattoo to get. I'm surprised I managed to find more pictures of Voodoo Vince tattoos (2) than PaRappa the Rapper tattoos. (0)
Monkey Ball Banana Mania has had my ideal pre-launch cycle. Not hyping things up big or trying to exploit fans' anxiousness, but giving new content the respect it deserves in trailers. Not hiding behind corporate amiguity, but also leaving a few mysteries and surprises.
ASMR ads make me legit uncomfortable - like, ASMR already comes off to me like the person saying it has malicious intentions, (unless they're Funky Kong) but now they actually do have malicious intentions!
I'm so used to Nintendo's BS that CTRNF having extremely basic developer-player communication back in '19 felt revolutionary to me.
Watching movie reviews is a minefield - sometimes you'll find a review you really agree with, then go to the channel's other videos, see "HOME ON THE RANGE (2021) - DISNEY'S WOKE SWISS SOCIALIST DISASTER?? WHY THE ORIGINAL IS BETTER!" and you're just like
Audiences are no better than critics.
If there were any doubts about the existence of the Mario Mandate before, I think this Daisy voice line thing sets it in stone.
Nintendo are so scared of refunds they made a pre-order system where you don't actually pre-order just to prevent people from getting refunded.
I got this beer advert and only paid half-attention, so it came off less as "accidentally made an uncanny valley ice sculpture" and more as "accidentally killed your friend by turning him into an ice bust" - which, if this were the 90s, would not be a surprising path for an ad campaign to go.
so, is Loop Hero just Lemmings RPG?
We've already entered the "Where's Nick?" phase - next comes the Doug conspiracy theories
It's weird how Nintendo removes the timer from their live streams during the only portion where you actually need the timer - like, not an hour away but also not 10 seconds away.
It's weird to look back on how controversial a Smash pick Pac-Man once was. Of all the third parties who have ever gotten in Smash, Pac-Man is the only one there's literally no downsides to including on paper.
- Sonic's reputation was taking a hit during Brawl's times (and even Melee's to a lesser extent)
- Snake contrasts the world of Smash a little too much and has controversial themes to his games
- Mega Man is only really popular in locations where the NES was popular
- Ryu (and the other FGC characters) run the risk of being too technical
- Cloud and Sephiroth could isolate the console war Ninty fanboys of the 90s
- Bayonetta
- Simon and Richter's ties to real religion and historic literature could be out of place
- Joker comes from a highly controversial and arguably overexposed game with an extremely polarising tone and aesthetic
- Hero has a weird history in localisation that would make it pretty hard for Smash-spawned Western fans to seek out earlier titles.
- Banjo has a notoriously hungry yet picky fanbase who may expect any future Xbox Banio outings to get ported to Switch based on a Smash cameo
- Steve could isolate older fans and has a creator with a history of very unkind remarks to say the least.
Smash speculation threads whenever ActiBlizz are up to their BS again
I don't get the "wife's boyfriend" meme - as in, I can't tell if the joke is that the subject of the meme is oblivious to the cheating in his household, or it's just a really poor taste polygamy joke.
Kid-friendly 90s synthesised pan flute is the greatest musical instrument ever created by humanity
The funny thing about Barnyard is that the franchise is generally really well-liked in every regard except for the movie - but because the movie was its debut, that's how a majority of people view it. Can you imagine if Toy Story was utter doodoo but the SNES game and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command show were considered top class by everyone who looked past the source material to experience them? It's so surreal
"if i asked gamers what they wanted they wouldve said faster pitfall harries" - henry nintendo, creator of the modern mario
Is it just me or is Google UK down?
We need to erase the narrative that collectathons are "objectively better" to linear 3D/corridor platformers

90s game ads predicted SSBU trailers
One more news post and Powdered Toast Man will no longer be on the front page of SmashBoards. Sad reacts only.
While I enjoy the Sega cameos in Banana Mania, I personally would've made it the ultimate monkey crossover, the Smash Bros. of simians if you will. We'd have Donkey, Diddy, and Dixie; Magilla Gorilla; Boots; Curious George; Abu, King Louie and Rafiki; Mr. Teeny; Paul Frank; Mojo Jojo, I.R. Babboon and Dial M for Monkey - basically every fictional, stylised monkey you can name.
I just saw someone censor fire is "f*re"
What do they think is gonna happen? That arson supporters will find their comment?
Not like an arson supporter couldn't just search up "f*re" anyway.
don't kinkshame the crabs
The Rapper Mario leak was disconfirmed before we even dug it up. Why are people talking about this?
If Shredder's Revenge ends up being a hit, it'd be awesome for the devs to follow it up with a Bmup game based on a more comical Nick property like how Konami followed up TMNT with Simpsons. Such a game would probably be SpongeBob, but Rocko would be a great fit as you've got the light guy (Rocko), the heavy guy (Heffer) and the guy who's a little in between. (Filbert)
Though, if the Shredder's Revenge guys were to make another Nick game, let's be real, 20 pounds says it'd be Avatar
Pixar are the only animation studio who consistantly make good celebrity casting choices - well, other than Onward at least.
They really should've upped the durability on Minecraft World's blocks like... a lot. I generally play 4 minute battles with stage morph at the 2 minute mark, and usually most of a Minecraft World battle is spent on the bare battleground.
The hero timeline is breaking through into our reality.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Nintendo made a duo of characters who drive a car as their job, have a significant enough size gap they could share a seat, are known speed freaks, love to explore surreal terrain, and have partaken in a drag race in canon - and they refuse to put them in their wacky kart racing game that takes place in the same universe?
I can understand why people want Pauline in Smash, even if she feels overwhelmingly like a New Release Bandwagon Pick, but I don't think it's really fair to say Pauline is some super important character just for appearing in the first instalment - especially for a series that has changed over the decades to the point of being unrecognisable. She's really no more important to Mario - if not less - than Koala Kong is to Crash. -
