That’s a shitty comparison.

“Sakurai later added the ability to absorb enemy powers to Kirby’s arsenal as a way of encouraging players to interact with the intricacies of each level instead of simply flying past them. With those two corner stones of the series were put in place, the formula was complete.”

You’re right; he’s wrong.

Kirby is actually supposed to be a mere 8 inches tall.

Yes, ports to a much stronger selling system that in turn resulted in more sales.

Upwards of 51 million 3DS games were sold last year, and you’re an idiot.

Because Love Guru made clear that the bottle is clearly out of lightning.

Don’t forget the third way Nintendo didn’t expect: (3) because Nintendo is notoriously terrible at approximating demand and overly conservative about sales.

I like how you put “shortages” in quotes, like they aren’t real shortages.

Idk, maybe stop being so damn conservative about literally every product they ever produce, creating an environment in which scampers are assured a profit, knowing that Nintendo has not possibly even come close to meeting the initial demand, instead opting to either play catch-up in a year or just ending the supply…

Every scalped item represents demand that was not met.

For a while, I would only really remember the powers while inside shrines. Took my a bit to realize their uses outside.

Idk. I think it’s somewhat in keeping with Skyward Sword’s Lanayru region.

It’s easier to hand-waive in a mythology that has a Goddess of Time and many other time shenanigans that make no sense (why did Twilight Princess Ganondorf suddenly gain the Triforce?).

It’s definitely way far in the future based on the simple statement that Ganon was sealed 10,000 years before and most of the leaps between previous games are a century or two at most.

Why would they make this?

That’s how it goes with literally everything.

By that logic, no company should do anything ever given that:

Source or shut up.

Everything you’ve just written is disconnected and dumb.
