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.

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.
The Plight of the Pirates:
— Reggie-800's Nintendo Secrets (@reggie_800) July 10, 2021
Takeshi Shudo worked tirelessly to write the 3rd Pokemon movie. Not just for his (rich) company, but also for Japan's pirate underclass. If the movie failed, who'd buy their bootleg Pikachu dolls? Many would starve.

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.
I would happily trade Bowser's Fury for a Dream Friends-esque expanded character roster in SM3DW.
I'm fine with Nick Brawl having a 90s-dominant roster. The Nickelodeon brand (or at the very least its prescence in animation and, irrelevantly, game shows) is inherently tied to the 90s, and always will be - even long after the 90s kids have passed on. Of course more 2000s and even 2010s characters would be great (love me some Jimmy Nutrin) but it's not worth complaining about a "boomer roster" in a cartoon-focused game based on a brand adults know for cartoons and kids know for sitcoms.
If Illumination are really insistant on recasting Martinet like a lot of people say, they NEED to have Danny DeVito voice Wario if he's in the movie. They've already worked with Danny on the Lorax, they should be able to get him back for a character equally as iconic if not more so.
Cinematic Parallels
Byleth fans coming up with new theories as to what bizzaro alternate universes (that don't involve removing previous FE characters) would prevent their character from disappointing people.
Jellystone has exposed me to the fact a devoted Hanna Barbera fandom, most of them people who weren't even alive when HB closed in 2001, even exists - and that makes me really happy. HB cartoons and their slow-yet-frantic pace aren't my style, but I can't deny there's some great concepts in their shows, they were masters of character design, and the studio has a fascinating history.
As reluctant as I am to praise this series, or more specifically its creator, for anything after what happened earlier this year, I think FNAF really unleashed a positive Pandora's Box for the next generation when it comes to preservation. Scott did his research on the CEC and Showbiz lore, incorporated it into FNAF, and that encouraged the Zoomer age to research these previously niche topics and not only birth a new age for the Chuck E. and Rockafire fandoms, but also create a fascination about the past's entertainment as a whole that will benefit everybody.
Chris Chan, to me, is the perfect example of the consequences of retribution. Punish a perpetrator and you've created a victim, turn a perpetrator into a victim and you've given them an excuse, give a perpetrator an excuse and they'll only get worse - this can apply whether you're looking at Christine's side of the story or the trolls'. All things considered the trolls' actions aren't much different from the current day concept of law enforcement, even in its most socially acceptable forms - take a person and ruin their life for revenge giddyness, justifying it by shifting the talk to their actions and not yours. Christine's violent comic books and tales of Mary Lee Walsh also aren't too far off from how real crime TV shows will ignore the perpetrator's side of the story and act confrontational or threatening with no true intent of helping them change, just locking them behind bars.
I cannot tell if this expression embodies ecstacy or dread.
After seeing this image I am extremely relieved to find out Funko Pop Soda is not a beverage and just a silly packaging design.
The Blue Shell would unironically be an amazing Smash fighter - you don't even need to give it hammerspace: spikes and wings - while indeed traits other fighters have - are barely used in Smash fighters' movesets. Let it extend and merge its spikes, give it the ability to retract its wings, combine that with its known traits of locking on and exploding and you've got a perfect template right there.
