So yeah, Dry Bowser and Bowser are different characters
Idk what game this is from but it's canon now
Well, in New Super Mario Bros DS, Bowser got turned into Dry Bowser, soo.......

Also, that screen is from Mario Party: Island Tour. Not sure that that is canon.

Everyone is looking too much into that Casual thing. That's Ryu's default fighting stance. Smash doesn't own it.

Naming things is hard in games.

I'm always indecisive on whether to give a character their official name or my name. Stuck on the Yo-kai watch character name screen.

It was all a magic trick! And you were the audience
I feel like it's been forever since I've posted in the NintenZone...

Hello again, boys and grills!
There are grills in this thread?
Great, because I could really eat something right now

I believe many have this problem as well
Not only in whether or not naming the MC after you
But I can create stories and characters easily but I'm ****ed when I have to give them names
And then it ends in **** like half of my EO OCs
Or my Pokemom nicknames
Ugh...

I just name 'em all Lucas (mostly in reference to Mother 3, but also kinda DPP). I typically don't nickname my Pokémon, though; I'm horrible about coming up with good names on the spot, and don't bother to change them after the fact.

I nicknamed a bunch of Pokémon stuff a while ago.

Nowadays in order to make progress I don't nickname Pokémon until after I beat a game or have a perfect (i.e 6 or 5 IV) Pokémon.
Still wish breeding was a lot easier than in Gen 6 despite being easy in that gen. Why can't I see the thing's IVs and its Hidden Power type from the get go?

That's from Mario Party Island Tour, which is non-canon.

As for Mario Kart 8 DLC, I like the guest characters but imo they feel like padding. I mean they didn't even bother to bring back the most requested character, which was Dry Bones. The other characters felt wasted too, instead of bringing in unique fun characters as DLC such as Kamak, Nabbit, and Dry Bones just to name a few, we got Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, and everyone's favorite totally not controversial character, Dry Bowser. I mean they may've well just brought back Honey Queen imo. Not to mention everybody wanted a better Battle Mode and instead we get another CC, which is fun but albeit a bit chaotic. Mario Kart 8 is still a great game, just dissapointing in so many areas.

I never used to nickname Pokemon (except for random ones I came up with like ABSOLutely the Absol in my first run through Ruby :p), but I did a themed nickname scheme for my team starting when I first played Pokemon XD and now it feels too impersonal and boring for me if I don't do something, so I always come up with some theme to base my character/rival/Pokemon names on. Typically all characters from a show or something, but I've also done stuff like song titles or just a blend of my favorite fictional characters (which is sort of what I'm doing right now as I replay Pearl).

I don't even know if MK8 will get a third DLC pack, as it's been so long since the last one, even though I remember them announcing one in an investor's meeting.

Announced a 3rd DLC pack for Mario Kart 8? You need some proof before @Burb gets here :p

In all seriousness, they haven't announced a 3rd pack, and its really unlikely that we will get a 3rd pack, which is fine because we already got 16 extra tracks from the first 2 packs.

Well, I HAVE to nickname them if I'm playing a Nuzlocke
Which is 100% of my Pokemon playthroughs nowadays

They did that meeting BEFORE the second pack was released, though.
Not to mention, it doesnt outright confirm it either. If there was going to be more Mario Kart 8 DLC, we would have known by now.
My memory of it was vauge as I saw it a while ago. Still, if that's really it then it's a bit dissapointing.

Everybody loves dry bowser.like I haven't seen any hate towards him in any game he's been in.Even ultra smash.Cat peach and tanooki Mario were way more hated than dry bowser probably the weakest part of Mk 8 dlc

Yeah, this doesn't confirm a third one, but it does mean they plan on supporting the games for a long time. Literally.

Actually, Dry Bowser is hated on because he's just Bowser, but undead, no other differences. This is also seen in NSMB on the DS, where Dry Bowser makes his first appearance, and he's shown to be Bowser's undead corpse.

I think if they really wanted, they could make Dry Bowser an alt for Bowser, at least then it'd make slightly more sense. (Also I think they should give Toad and Koopa Troopa some alts like they did with Yoshi and Shy Guy)

They covered her boobs with scales in the 3DS remake.
They've already destroyed your childhood memories D:
they did, like the great fairy's boobs aren't as pointy anymore. way to go nintendo not keeping her triangular cylinders in-tact. I will no longer grow up as a man and will remain a boy forever with realistic round breasts.

It's interesting/surprising that the post-launch DLC support period of Hyrule Warriors has lasted longer and been more robust than Mario Kart 8's.

I mean, I'm totally okay with this as (possibly unpopular opinion), it's my preferred game of the two.
