Nintendo is just out here malding people dare enjoy things and I honest to goodness don't understand why outside of it must be a cultural thing or traditionalism or something. 'Cause it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the easy money it would be to toss the Mario, Zelda, and Splatoon OSTs on Spotify and YT and just make money off of the engagement and basically free advertising.

Nintendo's always behind in the times.


"What is this internets? Is it really a series of tubes like the current President of the United States George W.Bush claims it is?"

Will the last episode of the show be called Strangest Things? Because there won't be any more strange things to find, we've reached the apex. Unless the Strangest Thing was in a prior episode, in which case all subsequent episodes should have been called "not quite as Strange Things".

- Boost is still probably part of the moveset??? You can kinda hear the sound effect when he starts moving faster, but there doesn't seem to be any boost aura around him. Strange.

It seems that it now exists as a non combat option which makes sense seing how much slower Sonic ran in combat with the Spin Cycle, I can imagine that the intentional choice to let Sonic run a circle around enemies to start air combos would make Boost incredibly awkward in fights

this Disney Town like area in Birth by Sleep (and the other games via Disney Castle) has such a nice song to listen to on a nonstop loop. This one is definitely far more happy and Disney like compared to the more hero preparing for an adventure type of thing

Doing some optional bosses in KH now. Beat the Hades Cup, and the Phantom.

The Phantom may genuinelly be one of the worst bosses in video game history. **** is BORING and it also just ****ing sucks.

So this just in, Masuda's leaving GameFreak to work as the Chief Creative Fellow at TPC. BDSP is his last game he directed, but man what a hell of a series he gave us. Gonna be interesting to see how the games goes without him directing and/or producing.

tbf Nintendo did put the odyssey soundtrack out on iTunes. They’ve taken it back down but they did put it up because I remember buying one of the Pauline songs. Wish they’d do more stuff like that even if they don’t stay up though

It's probably gonna ok, I think GF is trying to get younger and fresh new blood for a new direction of the franchise, as well as being willing to outsource. Masuda gave us a legendary stretch of games, but I think it's gonma be fine.

However he probably won't be composing anymore which is by far the biggest loss.

Honestly, I see this as good news.

No hate towards Masuda, it seems clear to me that he really does love Pokemon - but it's clear from his interviews and design decisions that he's gotten a bit out of touch. It's about time the torch was passed.

Read the first 3 issues of the Sonic IDW comics

I love the characterizations of Sonic and his friends there. Sassy Tails is best Tails and I really like Amy as well

Yeah, I kinda agree bit granted he hasn't really done much lately. Seems as if him leaving was gonna happen, aside from BDSP the last time he directed was X&Y

Okay, I just watched the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer.

Damn this looks really good, multiplayer support(I think? idk how else to interpret that scene of 4 trainers traveling at once and then 2 trainers trading pokemon), animations look decently polished, battles are more fluid, etc. The only thing I'm not liking so much is it feels like the few designs we've seen so far Pokemon wise are either mega overdesigned(the box legends) or way too simple and they don't really feel like Pokemon to me, but who knows, they'll probably grow on me and its a first impression after all.
