Huh. Game Theory called this two years ago and I had assumed that they were wrong. Guess not.

Fans: We want to see a female-led Nintendo!
Doug Bowser:

I once had 23 after me... almost a quarter of the full amount going after me for some reason...

Can we get an article on how impeccable Nintendo’s work ethic is?

A game had issues in their development? They could have left it in development hell, or released it in a poor state and let the game’s title do the selling (like Sonic ‘06, that for all its flaws sold almost a million units)

I would have added, when mentioning tournament winners, that Void won one with Pichu. I think that’s a much more monumental event than someone winning with Fox.

FFVII Remake. Mark my words that game will come out for our not-yet-conceived children. 

We respect him. The man used to work 40 hours in a row, sleep 4, and go back to work. He has shown his vision and dedication to the series. He cares deeply about how we get to experience his creations, and hates it when people use his creations in unintended ways, like with the Subspace Emissary ending up on youtube.…

You’re literally the child from Harry Potter 1 that throws a tantrum because he got one less present than last year even though all of his presents are massive. Actually, no... you’re throwing that tantrum despite having *more* gifts to play around with. 

Why would they do this to Sakurai baffles me... the man put so much time to curate our experience but I guess their internet points were more important to them... He must be crushed...

Yes

Tim: “We’re not cops!”

I was so sure this would be the weirdest Pikachu I’d see today...

Tim: We’re not cops!
Internet: Pikachu’s a cop now!

Why it happened: This game was not made in the US by an American. Sakurai himself was probably unaware of the social context of the image, he just wanted to make the attack more authentic to the source material. Look at it this way: Would you know how to recognize without fail something culturally insensitive in…

Still the weirdest sequel to Mario Odyssey. 

“Entirely false” as in “Not actually made by Nintendo.” It was a false leak because it was not a leak. It’s irrelevant whether part of it came true because none of what is there is “real” Nintendo material. 

There is a difference with “I am disappointed in the choices” as compared to “I hate you Sakurai for not putting my character in.” That *is* like saying Sakurai owes you something (which he doesn’t). Plus, it’s also just dumb to hinge the purchase on one character getting revealed... When there’s 80 I can’t bring…

Xenoblade 2 is I’d say a 1st grade RPG... but Rex is indeed a 3rd rate hero just because of how generic he is. He could just as easily have been a silent protagonist and have about the same personality.

79 other characters, counting DLC. Truly a masterpiece.

Sakurai: I literally couldn’t put him in because his game came out too late but I wanted to give you as much as I could of him because I know you wanted to play as him. I even put Azurda in his hat and gave him a supremely detailed Aegis Pyra-blade.”
