We are so happy together for enjoying Smash Bros for 30 years. Casual and competitive, it all originates to the fantasy of bringing characters of a dream matchup while entering the spotlight.
To this day that is still my most favorite video game commercial of all time.


My very first exposure to Smash was the teaser commercial


8 year old me thought that was so awesome.

Well, it's easier to just boot up and play games on your Switch rather than bothering to download roms and mod them - especially if you have a potato PC like mine.
Using a starchy root vegetable for your computing needs is definitely a hinderance, but it’s a lot easier than you’ed think to get these things up and running. I used to think it was “too complicated” before I actually tried to do it and discovered that it’s just as easy as downloading stuff from the eshop.

I think you're genuinely not thinking about kids that have access to the Nintendo Switch Online server. An 8-10 year old is not gonna know how to use emulators to play Smash Remix.

You also underestimate how many 8-10 year olds don't have a computer of their own and don't just use their family's ipad which sucks in terms of emulation.
That is true. That’s something that’s different from when I was a kid. When I was a kid we had the big family computer in the computer/cat room. I have to readjust that mental framework.

You know something that would be nice? For dlc development to have like... a percent completion bar on the games website that the devs updated periodically. That way we'd have an idea how close everything was to being finished without anything specific having to be said about what's actually being done and without having to attach specific dates.

I know you're all gonna tell me why this is a bad idea and why keeping everything more secret than the nuclear launch codes is the only way to do things but IDK man I get really antsy and I'd just like to know a little bit more than nothing.

I just went down memory lane and rediscovered some old ideas I kicked around for Splatoon 4.

How old? This was back way early into Splatoon 3's own hypecycle. Deep Cut hadn't even been revealed yet.

A few ideas I had were:
  • The babbly Banjo-Kazooie speak was eschewed in favor of full voice acting. For example, Callie was voiced by Emily Blunt and Marie was voiced by Anna Kendrick
  • I came up with a whole new playable species known as Waterdragons. They played very differently from the Inklings and Octolings, being able to glide and swim, and, instead of using weapons, spray an infinite amount of ink from their mouths and use different gear set-ups to help add to their ink breath effectiveness
  • The idols this time were a pair of Octoling brothers modeled on twenty one pilots
  • The central story featured the new agent character working with the idols and a brand new Waterdragon character to destroy an Octarian megacorporation that used Inklings as slaves. Marie and the Waterdragon character ended up falling in love. Also the main villain was a blue-ringed octopus Octoling. Voiced by Grey DeLisle.
  • I even gave the Squid Sisters their own secret story mode about a mission they went on as Agents 1 and 2
  • Also the DLC story mode detailed the Waterdragon lore and the main antagonist was a DEATH CULT ran by a misanthropic Inkling...VOICED BY THE LEAD SINGER OF AVENGED SEVENFOLD
I might work on these again cuz I did have a fun time with them

It's honestly really damn good, yeah.
I'm almost upset that people sold this show wrong to me, like, I thought Walter White was supposed to be a sympathetic character who simply started this mess to give his family money after the cancer diagnosis but nah he just ruins his life to feel like a big man while he still can, ****ing hell

For the anniversary of the series, they should bring back Super Smash Bros Slamfest like they did with Nintendo World Championships.

They should post the original since it’s lost media currently. I’m sure Nintendo has it locked away somewhere as they are always pretty on point with preserving things.

I now know that I am unable to evolve Inkay in Pokémon Scarlet.

The A button on the only Joy-Cons that I have with gyro does not work, so navigating the menus is not possible.

Damn it. :glare:

Can't you just play in handheld and hold it upside down? That's how I did it.

Not that I am in a hurry for it, I just have to ask...

How early next month do you all think the next Nintendo Direct will come?
