A part of me wonders how/why Nintendo thought they'd be able to keep something like that under wraps.

You'd assume they'd just test it internally and then announce it for like, public alpha/beta stress tests or something.

 

[Noipoi]

I thought the shift to a new console meant I wouldn’t have much to play by the end of the year. But between Shadow and Brothership I think we’re gonna be alright.

Except my wallet. He’s in agony rn

 

[Z25]

Yep! And still untranslated!

That’s the fun part, the testers get to do that themselves.

It was all a ploy for free labor so Nintendo didn’t have to do it lol

It's funny cause based on the leaks that's exactly what it seems like the actual game is. Nintendo outsourcing game development to their fans who they do not have to pay.

Whatever this playtest music is, I need more of it

Also I think I found the rumor Wario Bros. mentioned the other day.

I still don’t think it’s real, but two things worth noting:

1) it got the epic universe opening date right a few days before it was announced.

2) Uprising HD being here kind of lines up perfectly with Sakurai’s last video. Sakurai uploads his video tomorrow, Nintendo announced switch 2 presents next day. Or he will maybe Sakurai’s video does, and he teases get a look at his future endeavors on Wednesday.

Could still be fake, but I found this interesting.

Yeah, that's the one I was talking about. I'm personally not holding my breath on this being legit.

Season 1 of Spongebob really was something different. I don't think it's the best season of the show, but it is super heartwarming and very sweet that I don't think season 2 and beyond captured (as they moved more torwards comedy). From the character intros to Bikini Bottom throwing a Texas themed partt for Sandy (and her realizing that Bikino Bottom was hee true home), to Squidward possibly killing a man with pizza because he bullied Spongebob.

Just a very warm and fuzzy season

Mario kart sections feels fan servicely. However I am someone who believes we get probably a whole column or row dedicated to Nintendo reps next Mario kart. Which will alter out for all future titles. It makes a lot of sense, whether fans want it or not, I feel Nintendo will think they will.

Other than that it’s not terrible unrealistic imo. Time will tell though.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Digital Circus time. I'm not a big of fan of Jax being characterized as kinder than he actually is (mostly due to the staff themselves clarifying that yeah, he's still a self-serving jerk with understandably no friends among the rest of the Circus, and episodes 2 on it's own made that clear), but I actually like this spin on the idea. Heck, part of me almost wishes this was canon.

I don't know whether it's because the characterization here manages to take some creative liberties while still seeming just enough in-line with Jax's actual character (still genuinely being a total jerk, but one with a small amount of, yet notable human moments like saving Gangle and Kinger at one point when he didn't have to, and being genuinely upset or angry whenever Abstraction or related subjects get brought up), the fact that it's voiced by literally the entire main cast members of the show themselves...or most likely just a combination of both, but the writing and performances here are strong enough that this song and the story here almost feel like something that could be directly out of an episode of the show itself.

Side note: major props to Lizzie Freeman and Michael Kovach in particular, here. They're both extremely good singers. Equally major props to RecD and his crew for all their work on the song itself and the illustrations in the video.

Yeah as I got older, I started to notice how different the atmosphere is in season 1 compared to the later seasons. It’s a little more slower paced and atmospheric and in some ways more emotional like you said but also kinda solemn, they weren’t afraid to give a bit time to let some moments sink in.

I think it might be comparable to the first Ice Age movie and its sequels.

It is interesting. Still, don't line up coincidences with rumors as Nintendo holds all the cards on the table despite seemingly predictable previously.

Desperate Nintendo Switch 2 News cravings are blinding people to think too far at times.

I'm starting to wonder if SEGA Genesis NSO will ever get more games added to it. It's been over a year since the last update.

I’ll take the warn and fuzzy first season over the casual close up jump scares season 2 bitchslapped me with…that and SpongeBob casually becoming a multiversal series

Honestly, Seasons 1-3 and the first spongebob movie had the classical magic. Season 4-6 was ok with 7+ being diluted with a laugh every now and then.

Mostly, we now remember them by MEMES.

 

[cashregister9]

I personally include Season 4 as a part of Spongebob's "Golden Age"

The Bad Episodes, are pretty damn bad, but the good episodes are all-time classics and there are more of those than there are misses IMO (Skill Crane, Dunces and Dragons, Krusty Towers, Wishing You Well, Have You Seen This Snail? and Fear of a Krabby Patty, just to name a few)

 

[Zinith]

I think it was Emplemon who said what made the show work in the first 3 seasons was Spongebob and Squidward were both adults in the same situation but had different outlooks. That's gone now as Spongebob just acts like a kid

 

[Wario Bros.]

One reason I have doubts about this 4chan leaks is it'll be happening the same week as NSO playtest and Banjo-Tooie (sure, the latter might not mean much, but still)

 

[Dukefire]

Well, for those that will see Sakurai's final video first. Please let me know since it will air 6 am in the morning for me.

Reminder that Sakurai's news from the finale could be something else. So, watch with controlled expectations.

 

[Noipoi]

I think Spongebob was solid all the way up to the movie, which is a perfect finale to the show in that era.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Spongebob's 2nd and 3rd seasons were probably where the show was at it's best. But seasons 4 and 5, plus some of the other post movie seasons (mainly the ones where Stephen Hillenburg returned as the showrunner) have some of the show's best episodes as well.

At the same time, though, season 1 was mostly awesome in it's own right, and there's some elements from it that I wished stayed in the later seasons (like Patrick being genuinely street smart instead of the borderline complete airhead he became later on and Spongebob and Pearl having a closer bond that later seasons mostly dropped, in addition to having Pearl herself appear much less frequently) but compared to Fairly Oddparents, the changes in characterization and continuity are a bit easier to digest since the show's earlier seasons (again, even some of the post movie seasons) in general still have some of the best comedy and writing in animated history.

Beat the Sonic Generations remaster, kinda cringe how Modern Sonic has the drop dash no matter what whereas Classic needs to equip it and that they didn't do anything to make Time Eater any better, it's still as good as the original and the lost chao are actually really fun to find

Did they add more music tracks to collect or is it still the same 50 or so?

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

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.

Snake if she stopped breathing

Sakurai's final video has started streaming.

He mentioned he has a project soon to be announced.

EDIT: Should also mention the video is about the production of his YouTube channel.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Not for the Generations side, the bonus tracks from the Digital Deluxe Edition are also exclusive to Shadow's game, I'm almost done with that too and it's great though Doom Morph is unwieldly as all hell lmao

 

[PLATINUM7]

I wonder if whatever Sakurai's been working could be shown off around the Switch 2's reveal.

EDIT: Learning the costs and the time put into the channel just to help boost people's knowledge and not get any money back, Sakurai was pretty based to go ahead with it.

Ok, that is going to get people interested. If soon, then maybe later this year or early next year.

We will just have to wait and see.

Man, about $630,000 in USD spent for the channel's production for 2 years and 2 months. Didn't think it went on for that long. I hope Sakurai's words do last till the end for people to watch and understand game development.

Whilst having the idea of a new Mario Kart entry with Legend of Zelda, F-Zero, Star Fox and Pikmin seems interesting, I will still take this rumour with a grain of salt.
