I really hate how people call stuff like episodic/floating-continuity TV and linear video games "outdated". They're different artistic forms, one is not a replacement for the other.

how does the new kirby cat villain digest food
Honestly, yeah, I am kinda starting to wonder if the timing of Nintendo Directs and controversial moves by Nintendo isn't coincidental.
I keep getting this ad that opens with the line "flavour needs sugar is just a big lie to make you a sugar junkie" and I feel like I could be here all day pointing out the grammatical errors of it.
While it was and still is one of the biggest sources of confusion around NASB, I think going for a competitive game was a really smart move - Nick are famous for making cartoons that appeal to both kids and adults alike, why not make a game that's both silly enough for kids to laugh with and complex enough for teens and adults to dig their teeth into?
I think NASB's approach would be more appreciated by casual players if the game launched with items - it was never meant to be some super serious no-casuals-allowed afair, it was supposed to be a silly kids game with hidden depth under the hood for competitive players to dig into - more Crash Team Racing than Street Fighter - but a rushed release date caused a lot of casual content to get the cut.
I'm a die-hard Crash fan but honestly I don't really care for having him in Smash. I only really rallied behind him because he and Waluigi were the only characters I liked who had a remote possibility of making the DLC.
Speaking of animatronics, if FNaF was in a fighting game, I think it'd be pretty cool to have Freddy as a fighter who represents the idea of the animatronics as fun kid mascots; and alongside him Springtrap to represent the main horror element of FNaF - like, Springtrap bites and tears; Freddy throws pizza and blows up balloons.
The metaverse animatronics ad is funny to me because, like...
if a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic was put in a local pawn shop, people would be fighting tooth and nail for it - there'd probably be a collector who travels on a god damn aeroplane just to get to that pawn shop - uh, rawn shop - it would not be bought for the sole purpose of advertising local mini-golf.
Sure, you could argue "Questy's" is a cheap off-brand chain nobody cares about, but the fact somebody built an entire, fully accurate Questy's in VR tells me either A. if this is a fan project, Questy's fans in this universe are just as devoted as Showbiz Pizza fans in our world, or B. if this is official, Questy's is popular enough to monetarily justify an official Questy's VR experience, in which case die-hard Questy's/Cometeers fans and/or historians almost certainly exist.
"Hey, Sanrio execs, we want to raise awareness for children with cancer - do you think you could help us by making an image of Hello Kitty shaved bald?"
"OK, can do, but we don't want our characters being seen bald"
"Wait, but then that defeats-"
"We do not want our characters being seen bald."
"Fine."
donkey kong looks so ashamed of being in the nelvana book
I misread this as "McDonald's files trademark for the metaverse" and legit thought McDonald's was doing the world's most heroic patent troll.
I still think the MK8D DLC looks better than base game visually. Let cartoony games be cartoony again, without over-done bloom or hyperrealistic textures.
I feel the only extra Mii class that's really needed is Mii Athlete/Sportsman. "Mii Mage" strikes me more as an aesthetic than a playstyle.
I feel creation threads have kinda taken on the same accidentally-different-from-intended life platform fighters themselves have, just in reverse.
Smash was designed to be a wacky party game but ended up being deeper, leading people working on similar games to want to make more competitve experiences; while Smash Infinite was meant to be (or at the very least comes off as) a forum game about making big fan wishes come true and realistically predicting the Smash team's next move, but people were more interested in adding their own personal touch and thus all creation threads afterwards have embraced bias and absurdity over wish-fulfillment.
I heavily disagree with the criticism of NASB movesets being "references for the sake of references", but even then Toph's up light is kinda weird and feels needlessly wacky for this specific character.
New Mario Smash fighter job! Yoshi and Wario newcomers
SmashBoards has created: Super Mario Smash Bros!
Arcade Mode: You will battle a string of fighters, each on a "home stage" of sorts (Peach on Peach's Birthday Cake, K. Rool on Gangplank Galleon, etc). A minigame will play halfway through, and the final match will be against a character-specific Rival (every character is paired with a rival)...

It's funny how EarthBound is infamous for having a bad marketing campaign, but nowadays is the only retro game Nintendo does any substantial advertising for - and arguably better marketed than a lot of their recent releases. IIRC the Wii U release was promoted in cinema trailers.
So "carbon neutral" doesn't actually mean eco-friendly, just that a lot of profits from something goes to environment efforts and charities, right?
I think my favourite Dunkey quote is either "the game is cancelled!" "yaaaaay!" or "here's a grame from Infogrames"
They better get Hard Times in Sonic 2.
We did it boys, Sonic in Smash 64
Finding out Minecraft's splash screens used to promote 4chan sure is... something.
Still trying to figure out how Mr. Bean inspired Undertale.
I don't do "meme picks". When I say I want Who Are You Running From?/Wii Silicone Jacket/Bubsy/Trubbish/Clippy/whoever in Smash, I mean it. I might find "fat hockey player" funny, but if I don't see legitimate moveset and playstyle potential there I'm not going to rally behind fat hockey player like I would Jacket and Running From.
I kinda regret not putting the Wii Silicone Jacket on my Ultimate-sized 1P roster.
I think that when the Smash director said "I may have had misgivings about Cloud if he hadn't appeared on Nintendo" they actually meant they weren't sure he'd sell DLC to Nintendo fans.
In the Mario Smash thread, we're submitting Daisy movesets; single player modes; and our first music subs (75M and Rainbow Road)

I love bot-generated Google results
I feel NASB has kinda settled into a small, comfortable niche. It doesn't really need to "bounce back", it just needs crossplay so the playerbase isn't divided and that's it.
I feel that Fosters in Multiversus is the definitive example of a franchise where the MC should be passed over in favour of a side character. I can't really see Mac and Bloo being half as interesting as Wilt, Eduardo or even Cheese.
I think my most wanted characters to appear in the Mario Smash thread currently are the Stork and a Diddy Kong Racing rep.
I love how, in contrast to Smash's roster of mostly legendary warriors with a few more down-to-earth folk thrown in, NASB has a few godlike reincarnations and atomic kaiju sprinkled among a cast of mostly underpaid fry cooks and 10-year-olds with daddy issues.
That's it, I'm going back to relatively normal PFPs, I can't top Wario kissing Earl... for now.
Calling it now: the Blue Shell cup will be a bunch of Rainbow Roads.
I probably will pick up the Klonoa compilation, despite me really not being a big fan of the Klonoa character or his world Door to Phatomile is PS1 platforming bliss and I've heard great things about the sequel.
I'm surprised I haven't seen much outrage over Peach's desexualised outfit in Strikers
