So uh.... did.... anything happen?
I think someone has leaked it.

They're now dead or in Detroit or something.

EDIT: There are people sharing the website playtesters can access detailing what it's all about it. Seems interesting.

I don't have much interest in an MMO but I am curious what the scope of this project is.

Doesn't this sound like they're testing a proper voice chat? How the hell would that even work, I don't remember there being a mic in the Switch
It doesn’t. Some third party games allow the use of third party mics, while select Nintendo games use the Switch Online mobile app for voice chat.

I have a vivid memory of learning what breathing was and how it worked in like… the 2nd grade, and realizing for the first time (somehow) that I was breathing all the time. This realization freaked baby me out. I have no idea how I had managed to not notice I was breathing for that long or why it was so upsetting to my younger self.

If Nintendo doesn't make us aware of Masahiro Sakurai's upcoming special video today, I'm just going to assume it's not an announcement for a game or service.

But Sakurai giving us the date and time ahead of time as well as it being 40 minutes long does raise questions.

If it's a game then it would probably be something he owns instead of a Nintendo IP

Secretly Baby Snake knew about how bad pollution would get and was terrified at what the future would become. That, or I could make a somewhat mean joke

Here it is, ready to be viewed!
At least it will be ready once I wake up tomorrow.

Again, I don't expect anything big since this was from sakurai discussing about business practices and the thought processes of developing a game with an effective team. I won't be surprised if he brings up about the projects he did while acknowledging people's hype surrounding said games.

With leaks potentially ruin game's hype before their release date. I think this video explains about the current predicament of avoiding them.

I saw sneaky answered you, but if your curious on what the test is,
So thanks to the website, here’s what the play test is all about. I found this in Twitter so…

Sonic x Shadow Generations reviews are coming out with high scores all around.

You love to see it.
Between this, Mario and Luigi and Mario party, my wallet is going to be crying lol.

Probably going to pick up brotherhood first though, but looking forward to generations. I never played the original, but it always seemed good.

Not surprised in the slightest on the NSO playtest info getting leaked seconds after info came out.

I'll still probably keep talks online on my playthrough to a minimum or even not at all.

Since Nintendo copyright struck the initial image posts on Twitter, I would play it safe and not talk about it period.

I know the odds of Nintendo checking here are 1% with a 1% margin of error, but you never know.

I mean, idk. I remember the moment I was gonna put Shadow Gens into my PS4, and I quickly remembered all of Sonic's rocky history in 3D. Such PTSD made me remeber Sonic was never good so the game sucks actually.

Every game series has its ups and downs with their home company. Sonic was no stranger to that fate while exploring new ideas.

Problem with today is the lack of fresh ideas due to either burnout, closed off to follow an objective, and/or not being flexible without working to an agreement.

Sometimes, it takes a hard fall from grace to bring in new ideas and a foundation that solid. Trust can be rebuilt if done right....

Now watch the movie. It’s even freakier in motion.
No thanks, I like sleeping at night.

I'm really thinking about it though.
Then watch Minus One. And the Monsterverse films.
...I honestly might start with Monsterverse, as a newbie they seem more digestible tbh.

the Spider-Man editorial got pissed off at the fans at NYCC due to them being hit with the genuine and reasonable complaints had about Peter’s treatment in the 616…crazy that they still refuse to improve 616

Never actually seen a Godzilla movie somehow, but I just found out about Shin Godzilla and oh lord oh frick I can't stop looking at pictures of that thing.

It's horrifying.
On top of the films Noipoi said. Also watch Gojira 1954 and GMK.

Yer forgetting the original 1954 film and GMK.

feels weird that the Spidey editors are easily mad over criticism

I'll keep those recommendations in mind, but I don't wanna overwhelm myself with so many movies to watch all at once.

Besides I my pokemon anime binge is on hiatus and I wanna find the time to go back to that soon. 😅

The capture button works to take pictures in the NSO playtest right now. But in its current state it's not known if video capture works.
