- WARNING - CHALLENGER APPROACHING - Smash talk might focus on Bandana Dee, but other Kirby characters could show up alongside him! Including this fan favorite dimension-bending ex-villain. Check out how Magolor could be designed as a Smash Bros. newcomer, live on Youtube now!

I tried, but I'm still too worn out. Wanted to have the video out for Early Access this evening, but I need slightly more time. Going to have to forgo Early Access to have it out before Christmas. I'm sorry. Aiming for release tomorrow afternoon, before all the parties start!

Just a little further to go. Our next Challenger is still trying to find his way out of another dimension, but rest assured, Magolor will be ready to show how he could work as a Smash Bros. newcomer in just a few days! Keep an eye out.

My birthday's been pretty low key this year--wasn't expecting a whole lot given the circumstances. But I wanted to give myself a chance at getting my own present of sorts. Had enough hourglasses saved in PTCG Pocket to pull 10 Mega Rising Gyarados packs, and... ...Maybe I'm not completely cursed.

We've finally reached my birthday again, huh? Won't lie, this year has been a rough one. I don't have a whole lot to celebrate, with how limited I still am and how empty most of my life still is. Yet, I've made it this far. Hopefully this time next year won't be as somber.

PRO TIP If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason. I hate doing it, but I've been trying to do it.

this one was fun

Word to the wise for everyone watching #TheGameAwards tonight: Hype responsibly. There'll probably be a few big announcements, but don't go in expecting them to shoot the moon. Especially if you're looking for Nintendo news. Very unlikely they announce any new games here. That includes Smash.

"I asked chatgpt--" Shut the fuck up. I asked the Lady of the Lake, and she said you are unworthy of the sword Excalibur. You will never be king.

Video development is not going well. Long story short, I'm sick...AGAIN...from something a family member caught first and spread to me...AGAIN. Either a head cold or mild flu, not sure which. Doubtful I'll finish two videos before Christmas like I'd hoped. Stay tuned.

No toppings. Beef only. Flat top griddle.

Reminder that Tim Sweeney has been at the forefront of every failed tech hype bubble of the last decade. NFTs, crypto, the Metaverse ... right on the barricades, our Tim. But I'm sure this time will be different.

- NEW VIDEO APPROACHING - A short while ago, we looked at a version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl from an alternate timeline. But how did that timeline's changes affect Brawl's most famous mode? Check out an alternate version of The Subspace Emissary, live on Youtube now!

Not done yet for the month! My next video is available now for Early Access-level supporters! It'll go live for all to see tomorrow evening. If the first part of Brawl in an alt timeline interested you, check out the new video to see how different Subspace Emissary ended up!

Now that Kirby Air Riders is out, I've been seeing memes about how Nintendo's going to force Sakurai back into the mines to make Smash 6. These guys really think he wouldn't jump at the chance to work on the next Smash game, huh? He'd be all "Hell yeah, let's do this!"

- NEW VIDEO APPROACHING - Earlier this year, we looked at the first two Smash Bros. games in an alternate timeline. Let's follow that timeline further and see all the changes that happened in its version of of Super Smash Bros. Brawl! Watch it on Youtube now!

Finally. My next video is available now for Early Access-tier channel supporters! It'll go live for everyone tomorrow evening. You won't want to miss this one. Especially those of you who remember a certain video from this past summer.

If I had a nickel for every time I voiced a regal, lance wielding lord in a Warriors game based on a Nintendo franchise I'd have two nickels... #AgeOfImprisonment #FireEmblem #LegendOfZelda

I have a love/hate relationship with Wordle.

The results are in! After flying under the radar before now, Mewtwo made his presence known, running away with the votes to claim a decisive victory! Look forward to seeing how the next Smash Bros. could rework this lab experiment with the powers of a god in the coming months.

One day left to go! Don't forget!

Trying to do something on the cheap that ends up taking way more time and money than not doing it at all is what’s called a Zeebo. As in, this was the dumbest idea since the Zeebo.

ICYMI: The new episode of Remake It ended with a poll featuring three more Smash veterans. Anyone supporting the channel through Patreon or Youtube directly can vote on who gets a rework next! - CURRENT STANDINGS - 1. Mewtwo 2. Donkey Kong (Re-Remake) 3. Link

Just seen a grifter going on about how Z-A had the "worst Pokémon launch". My dudes, it's not even the worst Pokémon launch on the Switch Pokémon and Nintendo really have a big hate grifting problem and this nonsense drowns out all actual valid criticism.

- NEW VIDEO APPROACHING - He's big, he's bad, and he's...not quite been himself in Smash Bros. How could the next Smash game retool Bowser to bring out his true personality without abandoning the parts of his moveset that already work well? Check out how, live on Youtube now!

The next Remake It episode, featuring Bowser, is available now for Early Access-tier supporters! It'll be live for everyone tomorrow evening. Tune in then to see how Bowser could get a rework next Smash game that better captures his actual personality from the Mario series.

Good.

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal) #gametranslation

Four years since the last DLC trailer for Ultimate, and almost four years since the game's last major update. Crazy to think it was only a little more than two years from Smash 4's last update to Ultimate's first trailer! Hopefully we won't have too much longer to wait for more news...

11 years ago today, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS was released as a Nintendo 3DS system exclusive in NA and EU. It was developed by Bandai Namco/Sora Ltd. and published by Nintendo.

- NEW VIDEO APPROACHING - With a new console comes a new Smash game, and a ton of fans trying to make their own rosters for it. But screw that, what if we went full troll with it? Now presenting the most CURSED Smash 6 roster--watch it on Youtube now!

And you thought EA was bad in the 2010s? This won't end well...

Late one tonight. I've been fighting through exhaustion, but my next video is now out for Early Access-level supporters! It'll be live for everyone tomorrow evening. Took a gamble with this one, kind of. Hopefully the tone lands the way I wanted it to.

Guess who got sick AGAIN? This time it's (probably) COVID, caught from a family member who had it first. Thanks to getting vaccinated back in December, the symptoms are on the milder side. But that's still been enough to disrupt my ability to focus or get much done. Hopefully it clears out soon.

The results are in! Magolor got off to an early lead, and he held off the competition to come out on top! Look forward to seeing how this alien sorcerer could use his spells and tricks as a Smash Bros. newcomer later this fall.

You would be upset to learn how many little fun factoids you've taken to heart were actually just made up by some guy online 20 years ago back when no one bothered fact checking stuff.

One day left! Don't miss your chance!

ICYMI: The new Challenger Approaching episode included a poll for the next one! Anyone supporting the channel--through Patreon or Youtube Memberships--have 3 more days to vote on who goes next. Current standings: T-1st: Magolor T-1st: Pauline 3rd: Oatchi T-4th: 2B T-4th: Hornet

Hoo boy. You all are NOT ready for what I'm doing for my second video this month. Either I'm cooking here or I'm making a terrible mistake, and I'm not sure which.

Holy shit, new Fire Emblem.

WARNING - CHALLENGER APPROACHING Once of the Switch's standout new series, Astral Chain missed the boat for Ultimate. But how could its main characters--and the entites they fight alongside--work in Smash? Check out a full newcomer design for Akira Howard, live on Youtube now!

The newest episode of Challenger Approaching is available now for Early Access-tier supporters! As for everyone else, you can see how the twin protagonists of Astral Chain could work as Smash newcomers tomorrow afternoon. (Whew...got it done just before the Direct...)

And here. We. Go. 60 minutes is BIG for Directs, so it sounds like there'll be a lot to talk about. Wouldn't be surprised if 15-20 minutes of it is Mario-focused, for the series' 40th anniversary. Probably going to announce the cast for the next movie as well.

This one's been a long time coming. The next episode of Challenger Approaching, featuring Akira Howard, isn't far away! Check out how the protagonist(s) of Astral Chain could work as a Smash Bros. newcomer in just a few days.
