I can understand saying "That'd be marketing suicide!" to say why something won't happen, but not to say something shouldn't happen. "Marketing suicide" is exactly what we as consumers should want. Risk-taking, focus group-condemned content made out of passion for what the creators love, not to sell game copies or film tickets.

NintendoLife released these mock-ups of NSO Game Boy... and oh god, this pitifully lazy.

How such simple images can have so many flaws is beyond me. The more you look at that second image the worse it gets - varying saturation from different prints, Pokémon Yellow being placed under Game Boy instead of GBC, the HUD overlap, a two-player option that would at best be inconvenient on Switch, an online option existing at all for a console that's multiplayer almost always relied on two people being able to see one another's screens, Final Fantasy Legend using PAL box art... Not bad as a fun mockup for r/NintendoSwitch, but not what I want to see from a professional gaming news site.

Even though a billion bucks if not more says it's a coincidence, the timing of Nick Brawl being revealed right as Smash fans were getting disillusioned at the over-animefied DLC and the Scrimblo Bimblo drama was reaching a breaking point was absolutely perfect for both fans and the Nick Brawl devs. I've certainly seen a lot less Scrimblo discourse since it was announced.

I've always found the classification of Simpsons as an "adult cartoon" a little questionable.

Not because it has historically been marketed to kids, nor because Ren & Stimpy and Rocko were getting away with way worse on daytime Nickelodeon at the same time (though both are factors), but rather because the show's adult themes are usually mentioned in passing or alluded to but not shown, which is pretty much the same amount of exposure an average real world kid would have to such themes. Plus in the age of streaming and parent review sites it's a lot easier now to filter out the very few episodes that do heavily center around innapropriate or risque themes. In fact I'd argue satirical humour like The Simpsons to be important to teenage development, as it teaches us to question both authority and our peers.

CommonSenseMedia's ages 10+ rating seems on the money, though you could make an argument for a more Lisa-liberal 8+ or a more Flanders-conservative 12+ - though if you agrue anything under 7 or over 13 you're making a Klown out of yourself.

I was thinking about fake Pokémon types, and a joke about "Milk Type" quicky evolved into me realising a Dairy Type or Cattle Type would pretty cool. Not sure what strengths and weaknesses it'd have though.

As much as I want PaRappa in Smash, I can't help but fear that Rhythm Heaven fans would be distraught over the hip hop hero getting in given he is the same genre and has an extremely similar aesthetic to Nintendo's in-house franchise.

First party purists and console war kids would be upset for the same reason, but no sympathy there.

OK, so when it turns out the supposed serial killer was innocent and their accuser gets the chair for framing them for their murders in real life it's vindication, but when I write a horror movie that ends in the same way it's "an unsatisfying and pretentious cheap-out"??

Everything about this game is hilarious to me

TPC's scheme of monetising Pokémon organisation dates back to the series' lowest point in popularity
They had the guts to put it on GameCube instead of GBA or even PC - the latter of which Pokémon was no stranger to at the time
They created an original character for this game who has appeared in later games and the manga
There's a giant disclaimer explaining the billions of junk needed to play it
There is no explicit "this is not a game" disclaimer on the box (I checked the blurb)
They could've easily bundled this with Pokémon Channel, but they didn't.
They called it Pokémon BOX.

Bowser Jr. in Smash is so weird, because his moveset has less to do with Bowser Jr. himself than Ganondorf's does to him, but in terms of design and animations he is quite possibly the most source-accurate Mario rep - honestly that's how I prefer a Smash character, the moves don't need to be directly lifted from the source, they just need to behave how that character should and use moves it'd make sense for that character to use, regardless of if they actually do in canon.

The Hello Kitty Monkey Ball DLC would've been worth the price if they stuck on My Melody or Badtz Maru along with her.

To be frank I don't think $5 is that overpriced to play as Hello Kitty given she has her own animations, we've just been spoiled by other games' compartively cheap cosmetic DLC - especially ones with more expensive non-cosmetic DLC alongside cosmetic content.

Those "flying gorilla GTA!" mobile scam games frustrate me because an actual realistic open world gorilla game would be radical - and I say that as someone who usually hates modern OW games with a passion.

"No, no, this is the best instalment - but you're playing it wrong. You have to play the Japanese second revision PS2 version with these 8 Gamebanana mods, avoid playing two of the six storylines, and adapt to flying out-of-bounds every time you touch a spring."

I absolutely hate when sites like NintendoLife, Kotaku, e.t.c. report on fangames - surely they know by now this will get Nintendo on their tail? Freedom of press includes the freedom to stay silent, you know.

Hell, whenever a potential leak pops up they hide it and tell users to find the leaks themselves if they want to see, you can at least do that with fangames, right? Frankly I hope this is active malice because pure idiocy is way more frustrating.

Disney really said "yes, let's make an entire game out of the last 5 minutes of our most widely despised movie."

One mentality people (especially outsiders not interested in the game or Nick as a whole) are having about Nick Brawl that's really annoying me is "It should just be Avatar" or "Avatar is objectively the best Nick IP".

While it obviously should never be the competitive standard, watching people with high level Smash skills play casual battles with items is really fun.

Part of the reason I dislike boycott culture is because it redirects the blame for bad business decisions from corporations to consumers.

Also it's really obnoxious. That's the main reason.

Ultra Instinct Shaggy has been acknowledged by Warner Bros. before, but now he's been animated for an actual movie. (albeit a D2DVD Mortal Kombat movie)

"So, basically, this project is just Thomas the Tank Engine but with boats - go for something fun but humble."
"OK boss, got it. Transcendental smooth jazz it is."
"What no we can't do tha-"

"OK, we'll use it - just because it's too good to not release and we don't have a big enough record label deal to pretend it isn't attached to anything. You can't use the DX7 again though."

Hot take: Crash 3's vehicle levels are bad, but the power-ups (bazooka especially) are the real worst game design choice of not just Warped but also the entire Crash platformer lineage - that includes WoC through MoM.

Calling Bandana Waddle Dee "Hat Goomba" is insulting to Hat Goombas.

Bandana Waddle Dee	Hat Goomba

Thinks he's unique, attention seeker Has less abilities than generic counterpart Highest compliment you can give from a design level is "recognisable in silhouette" Consistently chosen over a variety of awesome characters like a prodigal painter and a hamster who can turn into stone. Base design inherently restricts personality and emotion Hat type is literally in the name, no alt costume options Colour of the 3-year-lasting burn I got when I was 6 and stuck my hand under a vaccum cleaner. 🟠🟠🟠 Physical embodiment of corporate homogeny and how it serves as a detrement to creativity	Contempt and grateful with being generic Could feasibly do everything the hatless counterpart can do Varied designs, one for every mood (see above) Doesn't steal the player 4 spot from more interesting characters (That's Rosalina's job) Base design has a clear, distinct personality Not picky about fashion, can wear any hat you could possibly want. Epic brown like 🟤🟤🟤 Varied hats provide a loophole to corporate mandates by implying instead of showing personality

The fact "honorary Nintendo chararacter" is a term anyone has used ever, earnestly or otherwise, says a lot about consumerism.
