Taylor Swift won the Grammy for album of the year for "Midnights".

This gives her a record-breaking four different wins for Album of the Year, breaking a tie she was in with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.

The only thing against that theory is that

USJ already has Pokemon stuff (and I think they announced stuff for the US as well)



and other rumors and patents are showing that Zelda is getting an area, Also Aonuma was seen at some construction.
Wait a sec.
  • Simpsons theme park rights are at Universal
  • Simpsons video game rights are at Electronic Arts
Did 20th Century Fox Studios forgot about the Simpsons? (technically at one point they were the company mascots)
Even crazier are the rumors that the spiderman ride in Japan could be shut down forever by the end of this month. With rumors saying Pokemon takes it over by next year.

Other reunite state that they did not forget about Simpsons and that the rights are getting given up when they expire. For Universal to put Pokémon in that area instead.

It be a huge expansion for them and a big Nintendo collab if it happens.

Maybe Fox had bad licensing managment.
That's why Tapped Out is alive and kicking and making millions, and The Simping Family never getting another console game.

Ah yeah, I wasn't entirely sure becauze Detective Pikachu was distributed by WB and produced by Legendary Productions, and Sony's doing Zelda.

Makes me wonder what Illumination and by extention, Universal's exact deal with Nintendo was. I would assume they have the exclusive rights to Mario adaptations, but I wonder if there were other clauses.

Yeah but Universal made the Mario movie.

And Nintendo's Disney relationship has been shaky at best.
Disney Game & Watch games
Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse
Disney Art Academy
Sora in Smash
Rare making Mickey's Speedway USA while with Nintendo

Numerous other Disney games not made or published by Nintendo getting released on Nintendo consoles.

For how long that relationship has gone on it doesn't sound shaky to me.

I feel like I remember there being plenty of instances of them not getting along with each other in the past. At the very least, before Sora actually got in, “Disney and Nintendo hate each other” was often parroted as a reason he wouldn’t get in. And that probably didn’t come from nowhere.

So, I'm almost done 100% Mario's story on Super Mario Galaxy. I'm only 15 or so stars away. I've 100% Super Mario Galaxy when I was a kid with both Mario and Luigi. I got the special finale with both and got the special pictures. Should I do it again for Luigi this time?

Is Luigi worth it?

Playing as Luigi is always worth it.

I can't think of a single time that was parroted. Closest was people assuming Nintendo partnering with a competitor for movies and theme parks might be an issue. As we can see, it clearly wasn't.

Also even if people were saying that, given the amount of baseless speculation and crackpot theories that happened, it likely did come from nowhere.

I have never heard this before in my life. I remember the biggest perceived roadblock for Sora was copyright issues, not an animosity between the companies.

If anything they seem quite amiable. Disney stuff has always had a home on Nintendo consoles.

I swear I remember people saying they hated each other.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to document these things so I could remember them more clearly.

It’s not even that.

The biggest critique was Disney would never because:

1) it be too damn expensive

2) they don’t do much to license KH to other companies.

Some people were extremely weird about Sora's inclusion in Smash before it happened.

"If Nintendo lets in Sora, Disney would have a say in how Smash is made", "if the floodgates open, non-video game characters will become a norm" and even "this could lead to Nintendo getting bought by Disney" were not uncommon statements.

Something something slippery slope but the slope is just a made up boogeyman like it normally is.

Oh yeah, Shantae is a lot of fun. The game is so far, shorter than I thought it'd be, but it's fun. I stopped after the desert world. Wayforward ain't slick at all with how down bad they are for these characters.

Dms are open if you look like Sky though.

I started watching Star Trek: Lower Decks. Honestly. Great show. More in line with what Star Trek should be than a lot I’ve seen in recent years.

Not like those reboot movies and that Discovery show.

Yeah the character design at times can be questionable.

I personally view the main design as similar to Princess Jasmine from Aladdin.

On the topic of Shantae, Bloodstained Ritual of the Night will add a outfit inspired by the games in the next update.

I mean questionable isn't the right word, it's more so suggestive. Some designs are borderline horny. Still a good game tho.
Geno fans are weird about everything SE has touched, that's not unique to Sora but

yeah
Most Geno fans don't actually venture into non-Mario RPGs, a lot of them are Millenial Nintendo Fans. You know the ones.

If there’s anyone here that’s a fan of Hailey’s On It…Disney seemingly cancelled the show after a single season

I tried getting into that show, but unlike Amphibia, The Owl House, and heck, tons of other Disney channel animated shows, I just...couldn't get as invested in it.

Even the more drama and story-heavy episodes like the one where Beta gets captured don't seem to have that much going on. The show's got good ideas and a great core concept, but the character and story writing just doesn't compare to those of most of Disney Channels' other shows.

I think every idea deserves a chance and that the show's got potential that it deserves a chance to realize, so it being cancelled after one season would be major bogus. But I definitely think it needs to improve on it's writing if the show's going to last and stand out on it's own.

I stopped watching animated shows that try to go heavy on story. Too much for me to keep up and most are prone to getting cancelled or screwed over by the big wigs.
