I swear Dread release & The Final Character Showcases being so close to each other is Nintendo wanting to cause a few heart attack.

Hopefully both you, Lamperouge and Metal X have fun with It 🙂
Oh yeah, from what I seen, it's going to be gooood.

Still a few things I don't know, but hey, it's probably for the best.

Gonna head to bed early today. Like, really early. I got a total of around 10 hours of sleep across the last two days, and I need to regain my energy for tomorrow, so I'm gonna eat, shower, and then immediately go to sleep.

I never really hung around in Clock Town on the final day, and this sounds like something out of Escape From New York or the Terminator.

It's legit incredibly chilling, the bells especially. Whenever I hear this, I imagine a tired Link walking through Termina to approach Skull Kid while everyone in the town is trying to cope

Apparently folks are starting to get Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl. Not gonna lie, in my opinion, this game just looks to be okay at best, yet certainly lacking in some areas. I can tell the devs did the best with the budget they had, though, and that I can respect.

The biggest issue is that imo none of the attacks have any weight to them. They all happen so fast and end way too quickly, and even the softest attack at low percentages sends them flying.

But, I see the passion.

Considering smash is about to be over, this game is just beginning, and anyone playing now is doing so before any day 1 patches. I’d say things are looking up.

I mean, people will still play Smash after CP11.

I was excited for this game but the core mechanics feel weirdly unsatifying. There's no way I'll pick it up even if they add more characters, especially with no single player content whatsoever.

WARNING. METROID DREAD SPOILERS ARE OFFICIALLY FLOATING ONLINE AND AS SOMEONE WHO SAW THE LEAKS. THIS GAME'S GONNA ****ING RULE
I hope it does.

As of me writing this, Metroid: Samus Returns is the only Metroid game I have under my belt, but if this one is well received, I'm thinking of trying it.
I ended up liking Samus Returns much more than I thought I would, so I imagine I'd end up liking this game too, if it is similar.

Yeah the animations in All Star Brawl are all missing a little something. They lack that oomph you see in most fighting games. It's really hard to squeeze a good animation into such a short window though, which is why partical effects and sound design are really important in giving attacks their oomph. All Star Brawl feels like it's lacking a little something in that regard.

Regardless I'm still hyped. I get to airdash and blast things as Reptar. I can personally forgive weaker visuals if the gameplay is still fun. I also kept my expectations in check from the start. I don't think anyone who was hyped for it was because of the visuals.

It's made by the same devs who made SR, and all the gameplay footage we got pretty much show it's like SR but better in every way. (When it come to Samus moveset, rest look pretty good, but we only able to tell how it measure up to the rest of the series when we get the game in our hands)
So yeah, think you should keep a eye on it.

btw Mother Brain in ZM on Hard can go to Space Hell.

There's a way to win it, but it's still RNG Bullet Hell.

Glad I'm over with it.
I made a Picrew of myself! With some extra features of course lol

I wanted my damned 2012 alts in NASB tho…and I’m hearing/reading that the story mode dialogue is lazy
but more importantly Hbox says that CatDog, April, and Danny are the top 3 fighters

been well (and overly) documented in the server, but now they’re more freaked out over the lines being random, no alts, and acting like the game on consoles…mainly Switch…is trash…all because SpongeBob said a Plankton line

only things keeping them from blowing up were the Leo and Korra lines

But the real release of tomorrow is Super Monkey Ball Windows 11.
Oh look it's the tipping point for me to finally switch to Linux.

Thank god for Valve making sure mostly every PC game works on it now

If the character isn't super well-known in Japan, that'd be a huge knock against Sora or Crash, just saying.
True, but I put them there because you could also interpret the disclaimer as him just saying it might not be who Japan expected, which if it’s like West they wouldn’t see Sora or Crash that likely to begin with. Minus their thoughts on the Sora rumor of Japan is even aware of that.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't really see him implying anything here. Sounds more like a general sort of "hey y'all, check out what we've been working on!" to me.
Maybe, but both tweet versions mention it’s celebrating gaming. The disclaimer on the Japanese one is definitely there for a reason, but it’s hard to say why.

Your reaction when Harada steps on screen tomorrow and Sakurai announces him as the new head of smash.

Then Harada announces pass 3 and Harada presents where he chills at good bar talking smash.
