So it's past Valentine's Day and all but I wanna say I really do appreciate talking to y'all from across the screen. Things at my house haven't been the best and I'm really struggling mentally so I just want to say talking to y'all does make my day just a bit better, even if for a little bit.

Man I completely forgot they made amiibo based on alt costumes, I wish they kept that. I'd buy Erdrick and KH2 and 3 Sora in a heartbeat.

Seeing Yoshi jump 6 places in the tier list and beating out characters like Palu, Pikachu and Roy...
Well, I'll just say wasn't expecting that

Pie in the sky if Ultimate somehow does get a "port" to Switch 2, the only thing it needs is better netcode.
Game's fine in terms of content.

Add a Boss Battles challenge mode, and I'll agree.

If they want it to have goot metcode then they can't pass it off to Bandai Namco

A part of me still kinda wants to get New Horizons, but if I missed the boat it feels hard to justify it.
I love Animal Crossing, but I was always more into the home decorating and museum collecting, not soo much making the landscape pretty.

Thanks for the wishes everyone, ever since hearing the news. I've felt so numb...
Trying to stay positive that there's a miracle but still worrying for possibly the worst that could come...

Praying for a miracle. I'm totally devastated.

I mean… I’ve made this argument before and I’ll make it again.
I don’t just want to play as characters in smash for the sake of playing as them in a platform fighter. I want them to join that big collective celebration that is Ultimate’s roster. It’s more meaningful that way and having newcomers in a game where everyone is not here feels like it’s missing part of the reason people, or at least people like me, were asking for them in the first place. It feels less special, less exciting, and less enticing. It’s one of my major issues with Nick Brawl 2.
Now, is there an easy solution? No. Not really. I understand that the next game would probably have cuts. But then I list the cuts that I think wouldn’t diminish the overall value of the roster and all of a sudden I’m being asked to pay fines and write essays about why I’m wrong. And I think that’s exemplary of the fact that there really is no path forward other than keeping everyone. Will that take a lot of work and/or just porting/enhancing ultimate? Yes. But is it worth it to make the most people happy? I’d argue yes.

Nah man, while I'm not chomping at the bit for characters to get axed, I understand that not everyone's making the jump next time and I've made my peace with it.
Your choices for cuts were just stupid
Shroob

I mean, the sad truth to reality is time marches on, whether we like it or not, and the next Smash game almost assuredly isn't going to be "Ultimate, but again."
It sucks, it's going to suck, but the sooner we rip off the band-aid of realizing that Ultimate is a once in a lifetime title like MvsC2 was, or SF4, or, etc etc etc.
No one's going to come to your house and take Ultimate away, you'll always have it available.

But yeah.
The Switch 2 will (hopefully) be backwards compatible, so (hopefully) we'll still be able to play Ultimate on it.
Now, the big, big question is, if there IS a new Smash on the Switch 2, how will they get people to give up playing Ultimate as their main Smash for it. Giving up 90~ish characters, over a hundred stages, and thousands of music tracks is going to be a hard sell.
If the console has zero backwards compatibility, then there's no real choice in the matter, but for everyone's sakes, I'm hoping there is.

Ok so I beat Treasure Trove Cove.
You know, for being the so called magnum opus of the N64 (Ocarina's do not exist)... it's just alright. I do appreciate that the worlds are small and compact so collecting stuff is kinda easy, but there's archaic design that bogs it down imo. Banjo being unbelievably slow and having lag on like everything didn't help, and I've had run ins with wonky collision. And God I HATE N64 camera controls, I'm glad they have a button to keep it behind Banjo but it gets caught on everything so it doesn't work. In terms of 3D platformers, I think Mario 64 handled these complaints better.
On the flipside, exploration and solving the scenarios for jiggys are fun, the cast is charming and graphically it looks good. Despite my gripes with the game speed and the camera, it's fundamentally sound, nothing outright broken that ruins it for me. It's just alright so far, nothing special but I see some good ideas in here.
Oh, and it's really not beating the Scrimblo allegations. Like at all.
But it's not life changing like Nintendo Millenials said it was so it's actually bad.

Somewhere along the line, in between N64 nostalgia and the franchise sputtering out, the narrative shifted from it being a really good game to absolute peak fiction. Which can give newcomers some lofty expectations.
I was a bit underwhelmed at first, but I learned to appreciate the game for what it is. The characters, humor, and music really spoke to me in the end.

I started drawing late today, so no Kirby and Bandana Dee. If I have time tomorrow, I may draw them then, but if not then I will next week since I really want to 
I did, however, do a Palentine's drawing of me (or my persona character, whatever same thing) and Miku

Honestly tho, Noi'd post about BK is how I feel a lot of people are gonna come into TTYD.
Paper Mario fans have always hyped it up as 'the best one', and honestly? Is it a good game? Yes. Does it have some of the worst gameplay sections I've ever had to play? Also yes.
TTYD's backtracking is just, painful. It's not fun. Chapter 4 at the very least gets a somewhat pass because everyone loves Vivian, but the General White stuff is soo, soo bad.
But I'm also a heretic whose favorite PM games are Super and 64 so what do I know.

I mean, it's better than Mario 64 in every possible way. And people treat that game like a god game already so of course it was gonna happen.
But for real, I think that Banjo/Rare fans have some sort of collective trauma from the 5th generation of consoles (if the way Hyle of DK Vine talks, posts, and... conducts his genera affairs is any indication) causing them to become fanatical supporters of the games they loved. I love Banjo-Kazooie but I acknowledge it has faults. There is no such thing as a perfect game. But it is a game that makes me very happy, and I think that's all that matters.

Still debating if I wanna get AC....
Gah.
It feels like I missed the window of opportunity of when it was fun, but Animal Crossing is always fun to just mess around in.

I mean, why can't they co-exist?
There's also Roy being cut which is a bit.... eh?
Roy 'almost' made it into Brawl thanks to datamines, and Sakurai found him important of a veteran to bring him back to Smash 4. Methinks, Sakurai kinda just likes Roy.

Sadly, the 3rd party characters are almost always the one with the pendulum over their head, because legal contracts and whatnot. Whereas Fire Emblem is as easy as Sakurai going to Intelligent Systems and going "Yo."
Ended up cancelling the Sora amiibo I had on pre-order with Best Buy for in-store pick up at Target. All of my local Targets (~25 miles) have between 4-8 in stock, so hopefully there shouldn't be too much of a shortage for most people.
Am going to pick it up before work so I can keep it on my office desk all day. After that, I can't wait to get back so I can do a group photo of my collection. My retired Dad is handyman and has offered to help me build a display case for them all. He said his favorites are Fox, Dedede, and Ness.

The Thousand Year Door has the best Partner characters and the best turn-based RPG gameplay.
Super has the best story, bar none.
