You know what? All things considered, I’m still pretty damn excited for what the Switch 2 is doing, and I don’t want my judgement to be clouded by what it’s not. I just wish the prices weren’t so ludicrous.

I would happily take a new Smash game over Ultimate Switch 2 Edition if it meant that a new game got as much love as Mario Kart World is getting in terms of updating the gameplay and presentation alike.

…What in God’s name just happened to the mobile layout?!

Perkilator · Apr 5, 2025

I think at this point, the industry should try to pivot back to smaller-scale games in between the major releases.

Perkilator · Apr 4, 2025

I have never been happier to be away from the Next Smash thread. I can only imagine that more BS arguments are taking place right now.

Perkilator · Apr 4, 2025

Alright, I think Kirby Air Riders is about to be the ultimate litmus test of whether or not Sakurai really is biased towards the games he made.

Perkilator · Apr 3, 2025

I think it’s likely for Donkey Kong Bananza to get a DLC collab with Mario Kart World

Perkilator · Apr 2, 2025

Okay I know I said I might be taking a break from this sight, but more accurately, I’m gonna be taking a break from all Smash-related threads and continue to write news articles.

Perkilator · Apr 2, 2025

Yeah, I think I’m gonna take a break from Smash speculation for a while (maybe even take a break from this site, too). There’s plenty of other things to look forward to right now, and I’m planning on getting the Mario Kart Switch 2 bundle for Christmas.

Perkilator · Apr 2, 2025

If Smash Ultimate were to get a Switch 2 Edition, then all I ask is that the DLC content is properly integrated into the base game.

12 hours to go, everyone…this is it.

Since we’re pretty much guaranteed to see Mario Kart in tomorrow’s Direct, here’s a last-minute idea for a gameplay mechanic I’d like to see:

Whenever you hit an item box, you can hold up to three times at once (Attack, Defense, and Boost, respectively). The three item slots appear at the top left corner of the screen.
- L/R: Select item
- ZL: Use item
- And ZR is still used for drifting
Coins not only slightly increase your top speed, but also contribute to Frenzies and Special Items
- Yellow Coins fill up a Frenzy meter under your item slots, which fills instantly when you grab a mysterious glowing object. Frenzies allow you to use items to your heart’s content, but unlike Frenzies in Tour, this time you’re not invincible in a Frenzy.
- Red Coins fill up a circular gauge at the bottom left corner of the screen. Once you’ve collected eight Red Coins, you are given a context-specific Special Item.
- Sometimes, a Coin of either color will appear in one of your item slots when you pick up an item box. Like in Tour, your character automatically picks up that Coin.

Funny how everything about Switch 2 had leaked EXCEPT the actual games. If nothing else, at least it’s keeping the surprise of whatever’s gonna be shown tomorrow.

Since today is Trans Day of Visibility, I just wanted to say…I would like to transition into a woman at some point, when I’m as safe to do so as possible.

Perkilator · Mar 30, 2025

I have never been more tired of anything than commercials whose only means of grabbing your attention are just “XD so random” followed by their smelly product. I don’t care if grabbing your attention is the point, it’s just…not funny anymore.

What do you guys think of my idea for a 3D Mario built around mouse controls?

Super Mario Canvas

A 3D platformer where Mario uses mouse controls to use the environment around him as his canvas (like drawing a temporary platform, for example). King Watinga is the main villain, using other robotic bugs as his army. A mode based on Mario Paint for SNES also appears as a side mode.

How the **** is it Q2 2025 already

I remember how strenuous the wait for the Switch 2 Direct felt back in January and then BOOM

It’s in five days

Perkilator · Mar 28, 2025

Do you think Ludwig von Drake has beef with Ken-Duck von Lamar?

Perkilator · Mar 27, 2025

Eh, that was a pretty solid Direct. It was nice to see Rhythm Heaven and Tomodachi Life come back, at least.

Perkilator · Mar 24, 2025

Does Arcade Archives have any 3D arcade games on their service?

Perkilator · Mar 23, 2025

You guys know how the Topis from Ice Climber were originally seals in the Japanese version, but were changed to yeti-like creatures out of concerns of seal clubbing? If Ice Climbers ever got a reboot of some sort, I think the seals should be a collectible that you rescue in each level, kind of like Waddle Dees in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

I’m officially at the point where I’ve run out of things to speculate about the next Smash game…hopefully, the Switch 2 Direct will at least keep my mind busy with the next Mario Kart game.

Perkilator · Mar 18, 2025

I dreamt last night that I got my hands on a Switch 2. I guess that’s my reminder that the Direct is over two weeks from now.

Perkilator · Mar 16, 2025

I’m starting to think Smash fans are pretty much “executive meddling” levels of tone deaf when it comes to speculation.

Perkilator · Mar 12, 2025

Perkilator · Mar 11, 2025

I just thought of something: Sm4sh ended with 58 fighters after DLC, and Ultimate launched with 76 fighters (including Echoes) before DLC. Therefore, I think a reasonable balance for the next game would be to launch with about 67 fighters.

Bro wtf is going on with SmashBoards

Perkilator · Mar 7, 2025

Huh…I didn’t realize that Duchess Olive peaced out so quickly. Did they do something wrong?

Perkilator · Mar 6, 2025

I’ve been thinking about Hayashi’s “Japanese hamburger” analogy in regards to Ninja Gaiden 3 when talking about a Japanese-born game franchise trying to appeal to the West.

And honestly…I think that sort of analogy can apply towards Smash speculation, too. With how USA-centric most of the speculation scene is, it says to me that a lot of Smash fans only want the series to be nothing but a Japanese hamburger instead of letting Sakurai and Nintendo cook their own meals.

You know how KOF XV added msuic from other SNK games to its DJ Station through free updates? I think that's how I'd like to see music DLC in Smash Bros. rather than buying separate music packs.

Pro tip for anyone with a Switch and NSO: turn on your phone’s hot spot mode if you want to play online while you’re out and about. I tried it for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe earlier today during a walk in the nearby park and it worked surprisingly well.

Perkilator · Mar 4, 2025

I think in theory, having multiple developers and teams do different kinds of games is the ideal way out churn out games based on any IP, whether they be based on a video game, movie, TV show, etc.

Perkilator · Mar 3, 2025

Perkilator · Mar 3, 2025

I'm starting to wonder if maybe the 3D World style in Mario Maker 2 was originally supposed to be DLC in Mario Maker 1, considering it's the only wholly new gameplay style in Mario Maker 2.
