Wario Wario Wario

I'm no copyright attorney but I do not think this is legal.

It's funny how Shigesato Itoi is an extremely famous, important figure in Japan, but over here we just think of him as "the guy who did EarthBound".

Makes me wonder what celebrities in the Western world might be known for more obscure side ventures elsewhere. "Steven Spielberg? He's the Boom Blox guy, right?"

COPPA laws got people putting "THIS VIDEO IS FOR AGES 13+" in the descriptions of SpongeBob clips.

WHY IS ED IN MINECRAFT STORY MODE

There's something I've been meaning to say for a while, now I've got to let it all out...

What if it was all just a dream?

Every now and then I get a glitch where Boxing Ring and the Pokémon Stadiums' screens shrink and stretch, and I like to think that's a result of Incineroar's match against K. Rool, Jr, and Villager.

The voice acting in the American dub of Peppa Pig sounds like one of those intentionally uncomfortably sexual joke anime dubs.

For a while now I've been conceptualising a Smash fangame, don't think I'll ever make it but it's fun to imagine, and I've been thinking up potential rivalries for the fighters in it - and there's one rivalry that came to mind that I can't stop thinking about, so utterly stupid yet so perfectly sensical...

LIKE IF YOU'RE A REAL SI CO PATH

It's weird how people don't cling on to Tetris as a Nintendo IP like they do with Banio.

I just realised the reason why Diddy is DK's nephew instead of son or brother is an "I'll be a monkey's uncle" pun.

Classic Rare.

My biggest worry for Monkey Ball Banana Mania, even though it's completely unfounded if Brian Matt's YouTube Q&A is to go by, is that just like Sonic Mania Sega will learn nothing from the game's success and go straight back to the Banana Blitz style.

UK Parlament when Smash adds Greninja and not Grehero

You need to have some audacity to turn a world-famous audio manipulation software into spyware.

Switch Pro announced

No hardware updates

Lateral thinking with withered technology reigns supreme.

75M is a good stage (with 8 players at least).

Adventure Time brazenly ripped off the concept of "snail who appears in the background every episode" from Blue's Clues and we don't talk about that enough.

We live in a society

"Haruhi Suzumiya in Peppa Pig" has the exact same energy as "EarthBound in Frasier"

So, why is Lemmy forwards-facing in Smash? I'm pretty sure that outside of blinking the Koopalings' pupils don't animate at all so why not just model him with his regular eyes?

Sonic fans when someone says they don't like a game where you're too slippery to collect a slightly curved row of collectables as much as a game that changed the gaming industry forever and single-handedly ended a rival corporation's monopoly.

Smash stage renaming frenzy, let's go:

Super Happy Tree is the closest thing Smash has to a food-themed stage.

Biker Wario being Wario's default costume is one of the smartest game design decisions in Smash history IMO as it subtley clues new players less familiar with Diamond City or Kitchen Island into the fact Wario isn't a Mario clone, and I seriously hope the same is done with Waluigi's tennis outfit should he get in.
