Brand is a very bad parent and poor little New deserves better.

An instant way to tell if a news source is worth supporting is which words they put in quotation marks in their titles. Words coined in relation to modern social developments (such as "asexuality" or "transphobia") being put in quotations is a huge red flag. Any subjective term (such as "amazing" or "sick") going WITHOUT quotations is also a huge red flag.
"Group of 7 characters = the 7 deadly sins" isn't a theory, it's just basic character writing. Fully intentional, whether the biblical connections are conscious or not.
Yooka-Laylee has some really bad character designs, but I do like this guy:
His very existence is an innuendo, you get a good feel for his personality, and he's just pleasing on the eyes. Better than...
This vile creature
God, I wish I knew Doug Bowser worked for EA when he was first hired. You can clearly see their DNA rubbing off on Nintendo now.
It's all part of the plan
"Ey, thanks for allowing your games on our platform! Hopefully this benefits you as much as us!"
"Ahh, good to know! BTW, I have some marketing advice... heheh"
"I'd be happy to take marketing advice from you! You are from the biggest tech company after all"
"Release your classic content with limited time availability, people will love it! you'll get tons of dough!"
"And now, we wait for the backlash... Japan here we come!"
If they can localise the Famicom Fire Emblem, surely they can localise the remaining Kururin games?
There's this really good Twitter account called Nick TV History, and it basically just shows off weird old Nickelodeon ads and merchandise. The sentence "Jimmy Neutron's Presidents' Day Dance Party" sounds like it was thrown together by a sober man pretending to be a drunk man pretending to be a robotAn ad for Nickelodeon's Jimmy Neutron President's Day 2003 Dance Party. pic.twitter.com/AVCYJTty5E

Can we PLEASE stop holding Sakurai on a pedestal? or at the very least stop treating any criticism of Smash or its roster as "harassment" or "ungratefulness"?
First Mai, now this? smh/s https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/10/minecraft_steves_meat_gets_the_chop_in_smash_bros
I always disliked how big they drew the feet and hands in Codename Kids Next Door. KND was a C tier CN show. It's not on the level of like, Squirrel Boy or I.M. Weasel, but it's certainly not a classic either.
The Zero Punctuation review of Crash 4 is absolutely terrible.
Going back to 2016 when Steve was just considered a "Smash meme" to tell people that he'll be in Smash is one thing, but how about going back in time to 2011/2012 when Minecraft was just considered a "niche kids' fad" to tell people Steve will be in Smash?
Have you ever realised that Ridley got in Smash through a misconception of a misconception?
E3 2001: Melee reveal, audience cheers for Samus, at-the-time a rarely seen and somewhat mythologised Nintendo character
That same E3: Metroid Prime is revealed, Samus becomes a mainstay again
Over time, people would discover archived uploads of that video and, not realising Samus hadn't had a new game since the SNES at that point and was considered a scarecly-seen but instantly crowd-pleasing figure a la Boba Fett, assume people were cheering over Ridley, starting the push for Ridley in Smash.
Teletoon execs: "How do we appeal to the anime-loving youth of today?"
Teletoon employees: "Let's dub some family friendly anime into English!"
Teletoon execs: Sounds grea-wait, is that....?
Canadian content laws:
and thus, "My Life Me" was born.
Time for Bubsy apologist mode again:
The first Bubsy game understood Sonic A LOT better than other Sonic clones, both from the time and today. That doesn't make it better necessarily, but the way Bubsy builds up speed is almost 1 to 1 with Sonic 1. There's still the cheap deaths and terrible level design holding it back, but Berlyn clearly did to an extent understand Sonic. I'd say the issue was Berlyn's history in text adventures, which are by design unpredictable and unfair, which works for an immersive experience like a text adventure but not for a Sonic clone.
It's so weird to see characters who aren't owned by Nintendo on the cover of Nintendo Power...
Did I already post this joke? I don't know. I've made it before on other sites.
I can't believe that Universal have left the Cat in the Hat 2003 movie up on YouTube in its entirety for 4 years now.
Bowser for Smash Dolphin!
Kaptain K. Rool would be way better as a semi-clone than an alt. Hell, I could actually see Kaptain getting a unique moveset of his own.
One time I clicked on a video that was a reading of a Sonic comic featuring an alternate universe good Dr. Eggman, and it started with a line like "Have you ever heard of the baby Hitler hypothetical question?"
I still don't get why the Smash version of Boxing Ring even exists.
YouTube likes and dislikes are a really bad way of measuring something's popularity or lack of. Most people don't leave likes or dislikes - the Take on Me music video has 1B views, but a measly 5M likes. For a less extreme example, the Emoji Movie trailer has 17M views but only 152K dislikes.
Finally, Disney made the sequel we were all waiting for.
Cyanide and Happiness is the least funny, most poorly drawn comic I've ever seen. I don't know how it's even possible to draw stickmen bad.
Most of the things fandoms get called "toxic" for aren't even bad or harmful in the first place. I'd say the only toxic fandoms are 1. standoms (which are a completely different thing from fandoms anyway), and 2. the ones where the creators or other official sources actively encourage toxic behaviour, such as PewDiePie during the T-Series conflict for example.
I want LESS of this:
and MORE of this:
Video: About the pilot episode of a Canadian cartoon
Music:
Video: About the depressing childhood of a notorious school shooter
Music:
Hopefully the CN Trick Moon fiasco will get people to shut up about Kamp Koral for once...
This says a lot about our society.
I know Nintendo don't listen to Smash fan polls, but honestly it's really fun to put down the dumbest possible characters you can on Global Smash Roster and see how many people vote for them. I got 6 votes for Rilla Roo. RILLA ROO. 6 VOTES. That's more votes than the entry I put in for RIPPER Roo.
I like how Steve's model is directly ripped from Minecraft, and as such his textures warp slightly in the same way. It's really charming.
We seem to share a psychic knowledge of when our grammar is bad, even when we don't know the correct alternative.
I wouldn't say New SMB or Pokemon is Nintendo's "CoD/FIFA rehash series" - no, it's Yoshi's Island. People complain about Wario Land not getting any new games, but being a dead series with 5 legendary titles and 1 decent game is WAY better than being an ongoing, undying series with 1 absolute masterpiece, 1 decent game and truckloads of utter garbage.
Ahh yes, a classic Mario character.
Herman Smirch
Herman Smirch is the quasi-main character of the Game Boy comic books published by Valiant Comics. Smirch is a bitter and unscrupulous man from the real world who features prominently in every issue, often appearing before any other characters. He...

I do wonder, have Nintendo EVER admitted wrongdoing, in the past or present?
"Kids these days only care about graphics!"
Kids these days:
Kids back in the day:
It's weird how people say "Bandanna Waddle Dee is as unique as Captain Toad" as an argument FOR the character. "As unique as Captain Toad" sounds like the most disgusting, damning insult you could ever call anyone.
Is anyone else getting a weird glitch with Steve's gold where it disappears after being KO'd, but it still shows up on the HUD?
It's pretty hypocritical how cartoon review YouTube channels will take hours upon hours talking about how bad the "it's just for kids" argument is, before using that same argument to justify not giving a fair shot to preschool shows. -
