I took a detour for a moment to do something.

At least it isn't as bad if you close it's mouth. . .and stick an accessory on it.

I'm stashing this for the next time you need a reminder that you're an awesome human being.

That bow tie, seriously.

I adore this, thank ye kindly.

who is gonna try to head right to the final boss at the start of the game?

I might attempt it, then ***** out in the end and turn back

Zelda: "Wake Up, Link"
Link: "HYAAAA EEEEEAGH!"

Zelda: "Everything I've done now.... for nothing"

Unless you get some kind of discount for owning the vanilla Mario Kart 8, I can't see myself getting Mario Kart 8:Deluxe.
Personally, I'd be fine with getting it at full price, since it's the one Mario Kart game I've enjoyed a lot in years. I'd lean towards getting it physically, so I don't think there would be many discounts in that format, anyways. The lack of new tracks is unfortunate, but I'll give it a pass.

I figure it would have been good if there was a way to copy or outright transfer your Wii U save data over to the Switch version, but that's not happening.

I think I won't buy Nintendo switch because I would need to pay to play online and there isn't enough games to choose from at launch but I will wait until smash switch gets announced then I would buy it.
Or at least having Geno back in any switch game.
You do get a free trial of the online service once the system launches, so if you ever get it during its first few months on the market, you could check it out before the paywall comes later in the year.

That redheaded character...

While I'm not ruling out the possibility of her being Impa (the old woman voice in the trailer could likely be Impa IMO) I don't think she is however...

Sheikah while indeed having a darker skin tone...usually have red eyes and white/blonde hair...

She's more similar to a Gerudo due to her dark skin and red hair...plus it seems like you can meet her in a desert region where the Gerudo are native to...
The only inconsistencies being her having green eyes instead of the usual yellow eyes and having pointy ears which Gerudo don't have...

Its possible she may be of a separate race entirely...the Gerudo since they only have 1 male born every hundred years require breeding through other means thus hydrids will occur...so she could be of a race that descended from the Gerudo...
We do see various races related to the Zoras and Kokiri so its not too big of a stretch...

As I said I don't believe she is Impa though...the old woman's voice could be....but we'll see...

Yeah, the ears are what makes me think the character definitely isn't Gerudo.

I figured Sheikah is more likely since eye color just seems more variable than something like ear shape. She could be part of a new race all together though.
Well, was more saying she's more likely to be a Gerudo then a Sheikah, since she has more in common with the Gerudo then the Shiekah. May just be a dark skinned Hylain, since those do exist. Also could be what the Gerudo became in the Adult timeline, since it seems more and more possible BOTW will be in the adult timeline.

Although I want her to be a Gerudo so the stupid fan theory that the Gerudo were massacred in the Adult timeline dies completely.

You mean the child timeline?

Which they are confirmed to not be extinct since they are present in Four Swords Adventures...

I found this series in my recommendations, a break down of why it sucks, very well made so far, they recently finished the whole analysis
I watched that series, like, yesterday lol
But yeah, he makes a good analysis of MN9 and I'm surprised at how bad the levels are designed
I didn't see any footage of it outside of the final boss but man, these levels just suck, who designed that ****?
Candlejack? That old joke? You need new ma
What joke? I don't ge

Now that we've seen the Zelda/Animal Crossing DLC for MK8 Deluxe, we still haven't seen the Mercedes-Benz DLC.

Not like it's a deal breaker or anything if it gets cut.

That incredibly dumb moment where you forget to cross reference post-OoT Gerudo before making a comment that only applies to OoT Gerudo.

Whoops. :p

I blame Pumpkaboo.
Don't forget the buns of steel. Here's an old record of their power

This guy played too much SotN and tried to backdash

For the record, I don't actually want to buy Mario Kart.

For Woomy Kart, however, there is a small part of my heart that considers the proposition.

So after doing the Champion league again and beating Tapu Koko (killed woops), I scanned the special QR code for Magearna, caught Tapu Koko & Fini, got myself a item to evolve slowpoke by beating the Principle and finally beat some trainers to get the Mega Evolution stuff.

I'm gonna try to catch a Rioule now.

You don't capture Cosmog, you acquire it...

It just gets placed into a poke-ball...
Oh, thats neat! But what am I supposed to use a moon ball for then, I'm scared to waste it.

Adult timeline was Wind Waker remember? We never learned their fate in that timeline, although we also never learned the Gorons fate either, but we know their still around, the Gorons probably all just moved to Labrynia or something.

Also the theory does pertain to the Adult timeline as wel. And the damn theory still persists in the child timeline as well...

Whoops. :p
What you talking about? Cause the only post appeances that 100% canon are MM and FSA, and well they look like OoT Gerudo, we don't get a close enough look to tell if anything different in FSA or not.

Well, I see that there's an audience for the Switch at the very least

"Woomy Kart, only 3 characters and a battle mode stage, buy now for 49.99!"
Well, Playstation peeps tend to laugh at both Sonic and Nintendo for being "kiddy."

Meanwhile Playstation doesn't even have any first party games I want and I'm pretty happy I'm not missing any Sonic games on the Switch, so. . .at least I'm a Sonic fan in the Nintendo specific audience, yeah.

See, I was in this boat too. Never even thought of MK8 for my Wii U.

But after hearing Woomy Kart now I'm torn.

Reggie's statement about the launch
“Launch day is not the be-all and the end-all. It really is the steady pacing of content that continually reinforces for the people who bought into the platform why they made a smart choice, as well as what compels people who might be sitting on the sidelines to jump in. We feel we have this great ongoing march of content to motivate you to jump into the platform.”

Reggie's statement about the paid online
“People have taken shots at us for that. The reality is, the way that online experiences have progressed, it’s an expensive proposition. The amount of servers we need to support Smash Brothers or Mario Kart — these big multiplayer games — is not a small investment. There are no friend codes within what we’re doing.”

Woomy is something Inklings say, Splatoon=Woomy

"Sonic audience is on Nintendo."
...
"SONIC AUDIENCE IS ON NINTENDO."

Twenty years ago, no one could have ever have ever have EVER seen this coming.
It's quite crazy, if you ask me.

Who knows? :3

This is necessary, but SMASH BROS. confirmed! :b::b::b:

Joking aside, wouldn't that be quite the hint Reggie is giving off if they believe online paying is necessary to support both Mario Kart AND Smash Bros servers on the Nintendo Switch? Heck, he could be referencing the Wii U's past servers, but you never know... :p
