I could prolly write an essay on how the switch failing to be a hybrid console, while also being a massive success that inspired clones from all of nintendos competitors, caused handheld gaming to be completely killed and redefined for the worse

the grass type is so funny because not only is it overly specific, only 2 pokemon (skiddo & gogoat) unambiguously incorporate grass in their designs but also like. what word could you possibly use to group all and only plants and mushrooms while being simple enough to stand alongside fire and water

watched another pokemon sv playthrough and got so enfuriated by geeta again so I made a vanilla friendly champion team for a trainer that is allegedy "utterly incapable of holding back"

im playing shovel knight plague of shadows (the only campaign i never beat) and im ngl i would love a cheat menu right now i would turn off instadeath on pits/ spikes, and losing money upon death, in an instant if i was given the choice ive instantly been radicalised on accessibility menus

im real excited for mina the hollower i rarely get to play games i know nothing about

the more I play and the better I get at kirby air riders the lower my opinion of it and sakurai gets online air and top ride have such massive handicaps that theyre no fun once you understand what youre doing and ive spent longer queueing for city trial than I have playing city trial

why did ganondorf do all that bullshit when you can just buy these things 5 bucks a piece, is he stupid?

I cant really see a reason to complain theres 4 months notice and even if you dont buy it before then, considering the software price drops, youre at net zero if you buy 5 switch 2 games during the consoles lifespan

thinking about how, for whatever reason, chansey had its signature move in gen 1 (soft boiled) but didnt actually learn it via level up. it was a tm. that only chansey (and mew) could learn...

the next smash game should add mii mage and dark lord as two more customisable mii fighters

my mii lookalike wanted to confess to layla el faouly, but she got stood up and rode the ferris wheel alone after interacting with her sadness bubble, she immediately wanted to try again, with a gift bought with her pocket money then MY SISTER rejected ME on laylas behalf WHAT THE FUCK MAN

idk if this is common knowledge bc if ive just been unlucky with friendships and gifts up until now but (in tomodachi life living the dream) your miis can actually do gameshare if a mii has any switch game, they can play a different genre if theyre with a friend that has it

the funniest outcome is a june nintendo direct revealing some bullshit like "star fox 99" shadowdropping for free on the same day

its may in japan and no star fox news

smash fans will look you dead in the eye and tell you that kirby doesnt deserve another fighter despite only having 3 reps since brawl, and neither does tloz despite having 3 characters across 6 fighters but you know who smash really needs? doom guy, hat kid and gloopy, of course

this may be decade old pokemon discourse but I've been firmly radicalized and I dont think the fairy type should exist

hey tomodachi life why did you make the fountain square have an even width but made all the items youd want to put around it have an odd width, without letting us putting them on the edge of tiles

im hearing now that natethehates leak is still totally true, nintendo just rearranged all their schedules because the star fox game they planned to reveal and release in the span of 2 months got leaked, unlike all the other "leaked" reveals for this month that still came true

I made an evil clone of my lookalike mii, but since my lookalike is a piece of shit, everyone got along with the clone instead

looking at outsider reactions to splatoon raiders, splatoon has an accessibility issue considering its single-player campaigns S3 is still in service so RotM and SO are fine but its hard to justify a newcomer buying S1 and S2 and OE in the switch 2 era

splatoon is cool because its learned from the "mistakes" of early nintendo series in which they had to chose to develop mechanical sequels rather than narrative sequels they actually wrote a world with the intent to develop it seamlessly for decades

hey look at that, the splatoon raiders amiibo are releasing on the same day as the game TAKE NOTES, SMASH, KIRBY, ZELDA AND MARIO

SAVE OUR SALMONS

I have a feeling the people concerned about miis getting along too well (and not being able to make rude miis) were conservative with the personality quiz and ended up with mostly the middle four personalities those personalities usually get along with everyone, you know

I have a mii that couldnt make any friends and got a crush on the only person who talked to her but she got rejected and now literally no one will cheer her up because again, she has no friends I gave her a romance TV show, popcorn and ice cream but shes still depressed what the fuck

we make fun of nintendo for the "super mario nintendo switch 2 edition for the nintendo switch 2" thing. and people said there wouldnt be any confusion with calling it "nintendo switch 2" but people genuinely are that clueless, nintendo needs to be even more specific

tomodachi life has loading screen tips, yeah this game definitely started and ended development years ago, if the interview wasnt proof enough

tomodachi

people are talking abuut the tomodachi life interview as if the whole office clocked in 40 hours a week for 9 years to make it all they say is that they got the idea for the game in 2017. if that counts, then the 3ds started development in 2002

someone should make a video game that only has latam spanish and brazillian portuguese localisations, and be completely unavailable for purchase only in japan. just to see what happens

nintendo today is so useless posts about animal crossing music an hour late no link to ACNH patch notes radio silence on the tomodachi life interview is the purpose of this app just to shadowdrop low quality trailers and rerelease concept art?

🫈

hell yeah now alls left is marios super picross (for wario puzzle 4) and they no longer need to update this app

I remember back when sneaslers stats leaked I had 100 redditors calling me an idiot for saying that thing would terrorise competitive and ever since ive only heard people talk about sneasler as if shes hitler reincarnate

yippie! im definitely not making it to rainbow before the tomodachi obsession takes hold though the last 10 matches were really annoying though... a girl forms gigantes twice in a row and all of a sudden the entire lobby targets her for the next hour... lol

what the fuck??

the truth is, to make a game with engaging combat, you just need to make rock paper scissors. and if you want to add more depth without overwhelming your audience, just add another level of rock paper scissors. but heres the tricky part that most devs get wrong: you cant let rock also beat paper

it took so long but I finally beat hydra and have a gummy of every single machine in air riders!! yippie!!

not gonna lie, the rose tinted glasses are off and rhythm heaven groove is looking even less polished than it did in the reveal trailer and the lower price is both a nice surprise and a little concerning

real weird rhythm heaven groove announcement ... but JULY 2 WOOOOOOO

im genuinely curious as to how pokemon champions will handle future regulations we're at least seeing 4 reg Ms which will leave us close to WiWa for years of gen 10 regs, but where does leave the gen 7-9 mechanics, let alone regs that allow multiple mechanics?

the art of fake leaks truly is just saying the most palatable thing pokemon showdown players were really running contrary crabominable over hopes, dreams and an anonymous post that mf didnt even get a new ability

chat lets make half the LZA megas unavailable in champions and give mega meowstic trace, mega skarmory stalwart and mega golurk FUCKING UNSEEN FIST

hi my name is nintendo leaker everything you want is getting revealed this year i dont know any details about these games other than their franchise no, nintendo isnt gonna do anything weird this year my past predictions? oh it turns out nintendo is putting those games on hold

having an australian accent is so fucked because I was struggling to make the tomodachi life voice pronounce "Ishtar" exactly how I say it, and after 30 minutes I accidentally input "ish ta" into the pronounciation guide and it was correct. and I can still hear an R at the end

soft confirmation of no more major splatoon 3 updates just dropped

finalised my list of 70 Miis for LtD, (I'm saving the designing process for when the game is actually out) I'm gonna disable babies, and make a second island solely populated with OMiis (OCs) designed on the spot to get a different experience Not gonna list all 70 but here are some highlights:

people are really having full mental breakdowns over the reception to the mario movie huh

btw the mario galaxy movie has a moment with potential for generational splatoon slander

ya every review is correct, including that one
