I don't know if anyone's heard, but one of the fighters in Universe 2 is

Spoiler

A Tuffle!

Which has all sorts of weird implications. Not only do they have him but also

Spoiler

The Yardrat

I thought only twin universes shared the same species

Spoiler

Weren't Tuffles GT only?

Here's some interviews from Switch third party developers.

How do you guys feel about these two quotes?

Cause I'm not too happy...

Final Fantasy one seems fine, they didn't optimize the engine after all and the game was intensive enough that I can't see many people having actually expected it prior to being spitballed. They seem pretty positive on the system overall, and IIRC they didn't want to release 3D Final Fantasy games where they would be in the same ecosystem as Xenoblade anyway.

EA is. . .EA. If they're going to go back on their acceptable excuse in favor of a dumber one that's on them to embarrass themselves. Obviously it sucks that they're not interested in trying with the Switch but eh.

SE is fine, Luminous Engine is a nightmare and honestly no one should want to port that engine to anything. SE is supporting the Switch nicely, especially when it comes to Dragon Quest.

EA is EA, and honestly, they sound so outlandish I question who takes them seriously anymore. If they would be honest, that would be great (PR is never transparent with these kind of things), but they have no interest in ethicacy, so they'll spew nonsense about certain demographics instead. They will never support Nintendo short of being bought out by another company (not that that would ever happen right now, like at all)

Nice! I'm glad you enjoyed It's a pretty fun franchise.

Here are the different levels in Sonic Mania in order, btw. Spoiler tagging it because...potential spoilers

Spoiler

1. Green Hill (originally in Sonic 1)
2. Chemical Plant (from Sonic 2)
3. Studiopolis (new level)
4. Flying Battery (from Sonic & Knuckles)
5. Press Garden (new level)
6. Stardust Speedway (from Sonic CD)
7. Hydrocity (from Sonic 3)
8. Mirage Saloon (new level)
9. Oil Ocean (from Sonic 2)
10. Lava Reef (from Sonic & Knuckles)

12. Titanic Monarch (new level)

Cool, we played the first 5 levels and stopped at Stardust Speedway.

SE seems reasonable. I mean, they just decided to port an engine that wasn't optimised to the Switch to see how well it could handle it and obviously, it wasn't 100%.

EA quote is EA quote. There's no excuse for that one.

SE comment seems fine. FFXV is huge, and i would be shocked if it came to switch.

the 2k comment however made me laugh out loud. shamefullly bad PR

This is for FIFA, not 2k.

Gotta grab some popcorn watching them race to the bottom, though.

I still find it unbelievable that one EA executive supposedly named his son after Luigi.

Speaking of 2K, the Switch version of WWE 2K seems to be mostly the same as the others.

The only big drawback we've heard of is no 8-man matches.

At this point, EA has basically patented their own behavior. They really are in a league of their own when it comes to Nintendo

"What is an EA?, a miserable pile of EA"

That's going in my status board.

 

[Radical Bones]

I have a question for the sonic fans here, if you were to concisely describe, "what makes Sonic Sonic", how would you do so?

What I mean is, what are the core principles of the Sonic games? Because I'm assuming there's more depth than "lol go fast"

What about really subtle lore and story telling? That was always my favourite aspect of the OG games at least. As well as multiple paths to get to the same end.

Hmm, so you mean, the idea of "show, don't tell"? As for multiple paths, I gathered that from the few levels I played of Mania

SE...why even tease the game at all if they are still undecided? They want to figure out the Switch's specifications that's fine but, I still don't understand why they would even give a tiny vague hint that could possibly piss off a lot of people if it doesn't come to fruition...

EA...****in seriously?

 

[mario123007]

Thank **** for the "Restore Old Youtube" option; everything loads better and faster in the previous layout.

I changed it back too, but I believe they will update Youtube permanently sooner or later.

Think I'll stop on Splatfest for the time being (with Defender rank) since a football game is almost on. I think this Splatfest's Shift Station stage is much better than the last one.

And the sooner Video Blocker works again, the better.

My wifi seems to be unsuitable for playing Splatfest, which is awful...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Spoiler

Weren't Tuffles GT only?

Spoiler

No, they were in Z

They were the previous owners of Planet Vegeta

"In an interview, the author Akira Toriyama said that Tuffles were indeed the original inhabitants of the planet Vegeta and that they were wiped out by the Saiyans. He also says Tuffles are the original creators of scouters; in addition, there are also dual-eye versions of these devices. The Tuffles originally created scouters to help them guard against enemies and beasts. After the Saiyan-Tuffle War, Gichamu, a highly skilled engineer in Frieza's army, laid his eyes on the scouters and made modifications for concrete battle power numbers and telecommunications abilities. Thus Galactic Frieza Army soldiers began making use of these devices to carry out offensives."

 

[Aurane]

Its time to decide on my Overwatch waifu.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I just watched the new super episode and I am SO ANGRY I never got to see what

Spoiler

Dr. Rota's ability was!

 

[Opossum]

Random Pokemon realization. I knew Chesnaught lost Spiky Shield as its signature move thanks to Togedemaru, but I didn't realize Delphox and Greninja lost theirs as well.

I'm only just learning Accelgor now gets Water Shuriken and Mismagius gets Mystical Fire.

On another note, it's hilarious how Cut and Strength are technically signature moves now that HMs are gone.

 

[Ivander]

Its time to decide on my Overwatch waifu.

I thought people didn't decide their Waifus, the Waifus decide them. At least, they do in Russia.

At least Kartana's massive attack makes Cut a slightly decent move, slightly.

Finished my second playthrough of Trails SC today, so I can FINALLY get started on 3rd...better late than never, right?

In related news, this song is my jam now:

Spoiler

well, mine is Mei for sure.

@Shishœ
I finished watching MHA episode 21

Spoiler

Bakugo is the best tutor lol.

I also thought only All Might had wear handicap in the manga, but I might be wrong.
And yes Momo is way cutter in the anime this time.

By the way I saw a Gamestop card in a local store. What does the card do? Is it worth buying?

 

[Aurane]

I thought people didn't decide their Waifus, the Waifus decide them. At least, they do in Russia.

I have never heard of an instance where waifus chose people outside of fanfics and Russia.

Speaking of Russia, Zarya is really ****ing hot both physically and mechanically. I mean big guns and big guns?

Spoiler

well, mine is Mei for sure.

1000% sure she's generally everyone's waifu.

I know someone who went gay for Mei. No joke.

Funny that I'm talking so much about Overwatch when I only played it like twice. :T

Junkrat. Always Junkrat.

It is never not Junkrat...

It's a gimmicky thing to give other Pokemon the signature moves of the starters.
All of the Kalos ones lost that status(except Greninja's Mat Block) in ORAS where Cacturne got Spiky Shield alongside the other two moveset additions you mentioned.

Also, Razor Shell was given to Cloyster and Coil to Eelektross(though this was from the beginning of Gen V), Emboar's Heat Crash remained exclusive to it.

Hitmonlee got Blaziken's Blaze Kick, a bunch of Pokemon got Sceptile's Leaf Blade and Swampert's Muddy Water in Gen IV.

Wonder who they'll give the Alolan moves to, Darkest Lariat is something any physical Dark type wants and ditto for Spirit Shackle on Ghost Pokemon(though it works on anyone simply due to the coverage it provides). Sparkling Aria could be good in a Pokemon who "should learn Surf but doesn't"

Weird, I used to thought that everyone hates Mei (At least in the game, but personally I think Symmetra is the worst after her right click buff) Perhaps it was the new animated short helped.

And I think it's because my wifi's ping is high for my Switch to play Splatfest... I really want to help Team Flight... or at least get Seal snails...

[Ivander]

Speaking of Overwatch, can I just add that Overwatch's new Deathmatch Mode is frickin' addictive? Despite how raging it can be sometimes, I don't think I've felt this compelled to keep playing a mode since Smash Run.
Now give us a PvE Mode, Blizzard!

One of the big Dragon Ball Youtubers just asked what if Cell had DNA from Arale

Arale is a robot. I'm not sure if he realizes that Robots don't have DNA

I think if anything Decidueye will keep Spirit Shackle unless we get another Archer Pokémon. Otherwise it's way too specific.

I could see Darkest Lariat and Sparkling Aria being non-exclusive though. The latter could even be given to Wailord to reference whale songs.

 

[Chrono.]

I thought Throat Chop was exclusive to Incineroar too, but Sneasel and Weavile can learn it.
