    If anyone here is trying to learn another language, I recommend playing WarioWare in your target language! Between playing Gold, Get It Together! and Move It! in Spanish I have learned a lot of words because the commands make them easy to understand and remember! Give it a try!

    As you should be! I find Arabic to be very enchanting, especially with the amount of little words I know because of the Arabic vocabulary in Spanish, I recently went to Granada where you can see the writings and Muslim culture present. Is it hard to tell where someone is from to you based on their accent and regionalisms when they speak in Arabic?

    There is not really a "global Spanish" but when most people learn Spanish (at least in my country) they use Mexican Spanish as more of a standard since it is the biggest Spanish speaking country, and the most prevalent Latino population in the US. Even so I have met a surprising amount of Salvadorans which is so cool because that is where my dad was from, and Peruvians as well, which is where my great-grandpa was from!!

    In reality when things are localized into Spanish, they make a Latino Spanish dub and a Spain Spanish one (which uses more slang as it is specific to one country rather than the Americas), with there not usually being dubbing actors using more prevalent accents/slang from their countries or regions to make it more understandable to a wider audience. Spanish is crazy with the amount of varieties there are, sometimes people joke that Chileans speak their own language because of how different it is XD

    And it is totally normal and cool if you mix up stuff from different English varieties, that is how it is with a lot of second language English learners for the same reason as you, I mix up different terms from different countries in Spanish all the time. Through being in Spain my accent has changed so that I use more of my throat when I pronounce the jota (like an h sound) from being exposed to it here, something else that comes from Arabic!

    Your trip to Granada sounds really cool! I like Spain but I always go to the same village every year with my family. So much so I know it by heart now, lol. It's mixed heritage that seems really cool to me, that's why I love my origin country Algeria with it mixed Numidian/Berber, Roman, Arab, Muslim, Turkish and French culture. The same can be said about Mediterranean countries in general. Like Türkiye, its language is huge mashup of a lot of other languages.

    Since I live in France, I can't always pint-point the exact country the Arabic speaker come from but I can tell the region, like for example the more you go to the west (West Algeria, Morocco) the harsher the dialect may sound, Egyptian pronounce the /j/ sound like /g/ (e.g. they would pronounce Al-Jazair, Al-Gazair, the Arabic name for Algeria) and Tunisian kinda sound like they sing when they talk (kinda like Italians), I am less knowledgeable for the Asian Arab countries since I am not very exposed to it.


    I guess Mexican being seen as the "default" Spanish in the US makes sense, similar to how Algerian seems to be the default Arabic in France due to being the most prevalent Arab/Muslim/Maghreb and maybe even African population in France.


    The dub thing is really interesting! We have a similar thing in French where they sometimes make a French France dub and a French Canada (Quebec) dub, though is they do not even have a Quebec accent in the dub, they just a change the dialogue a bit and the voice actors. The France dub is usually better, to be honest (I may be bias lol). Also, it's usually the one that gets pirated easier.
    I've noticed that most English learners goes with American, I remember being teased about having British and Australian influences in my accent lol (it was lighthearted though). Like for example, I usually pronounce the T slightly like Americans but pronounce the R like British people.

    When you talk about the "jota" sound, do you mean actually like a h in English or more of a sour h? In a Arabic we have a letter called "ha" (ه) that's a lighter sound exactly like the one in English, a more sour letter called "Ha" (ح) that comes more form the throat that doesn't exist in English and the "KHa" (خ) that sounds like the CH in "Acht" in German. Note that that's a very important difference in Arabic, as "نحل" /nahla/ means "Bee" but "نخل" /nakhla/ means "Palmtree"... that's literally a dot above a letter away.

    Yeah, Spain has so much to do and the provinces are so different, I definitely recommend seeing if you can explore around a bit, Valencia and Granada and Murcia are pretty cool. Yeah, my favorite part about my country is the diversity, all sorts of people from different places come to the states and bring their culture with them! We might be the most diverse country on the planet, like a melting pot.

    Interesting with the things with regional variations! I can only imagine how different words can sound and be pronounced from one variety than another when you combine all those things, it only makes the language richer and more interesting. Yeah, in the US when you see packaging for things they have it in English, French (for Canada) and Spanish basically always, and you usually see the option to learn Spanish, French, or American Sign Language in schools. It is similar with the dubbing thing, but it surprises me if they do not really have a Quebec accent in that region's version. And yeah, I have a bias for the Latin American dubs of things since I am from the Americas XD The R sound in American English might be difficult to pronounce for people learning it, so they might go for the British one, although it sounds like for you it is not for that reason.

    Well, usually in Latin American dialects, the jota is softer so it resembles the English h, while the Spain jota is more similar to the sour H you are describing, but it varies, that is just a general idea. Another thing that can make Latin American Spanish speakers sound more "sing-songy" and "less harsh". Some dialects there pronounce the y as a soft y while others go for a sound that is halfway between the y and j in English, in the Latino dub of the Switch WarioWare games, you can hear the announcer (voiced by Circe Luna) pronounce it the latter way, which is interesting. The way that Arabic is written is cool with those nuances!

    And I'm back! I got to go to Switzerland to see family I had not seen in 18 years (my aunt uncle and cousins who live there, only family I have in Europe) and it was awesome, I had so much fun and did not want to go lol!

    Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day yesterday... I went clubbing/bar hopping for the second time in my life and it definitely was a better experience than the first time. But boy do I feel fatigued, I don't think that stuff is my scene really.

    Did you guys know WarioWare: Get It Together! has a Russian localization? Makes you wonder why they did not do the same for Move It!... maybe budgeting reasons?

    I always wondered what languagesother countries without proper localisation get as default. I'm guessing it's probably English except for maybe some African countries that get French due to it being spoken there, even if not the official language.

    GreenToxic
    English, for better or for worse, is the international language of travel and trade, so yeah it is the "default" one that people and companies go for. As someone whose first language is English... I can only imagine what it is like to learn it!

    But yeah, there are a good number of Francophone countries (in places like Africa) and French is the second most learned language in the world believe it or not.

    Well, it happened. Back to being single for the first time in more than a year. But I felt like I had to be honest with my partner that I am not sure 100% about if I want to be in a relationship right now and that I was having a lot of anxiety, and she revealed to me that she was getting anxiety too. She wants to remain friends and perhaps in the future that can happen since we were on good terms but as of right now, there is space. I just tried my best to console her during the hours we called and made sure that she knew it had nothing to do with her. So yeah, back to the single life I go, which is not a bad thing for me right now in my life. I think that some space and time will heal us, and I am glad that we got to have the experience while we could. It has taught us a lot. So yeah...

    I genuinely is such a shame that they did not give Move It! just a couple more months in development so it could be fully fleshed out more in some aspects. I genuinely think it had potential to be the best WarioWare game in the series if they had just not released it so close to GIT! in a busy span of notable titles for the Switch, particularly Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The only thing about Move It! that I dislike... is that there is not more of it, it is that good. There are really not that many toys or other things to do outside of the main story, so it really does seem like it is a multiplayer experience than a single player one, like the earlier games in the series.

    In a bizzare way, I just love the aesthetic of the game so much. As someone who's first game was Smooth Moves, I had been wanting to see more goofy 3D models in the microgames for a while (although they look more polished than that game) and it is great how they delivered on that! I just wish the game did not feel like it was rushed in certain aspects, I really do believe it could have been the best entry in the whole series. It even brought back full voice acting! Either way, Move It! is such an amazing game!

    I played a short while and I agree the game is really cool and fun but the content is simply lacking. Gold had so many extras to unlock plus the missions. Get it Toegther had the Wario Cup, cosmetics, missions, multiplayer modes... And what does WarioWare: Move It! have ? Some multiplayer modes, the Crygor mode, a minigame and that's it ? That's basically Smooth Moves level of content ! Why are we back by almost 20 years ago ?

    Two minigames as there is a Pyoro one too. But yeah, I think it has to do with a potentially rushed development time, that's all.
    GreenToxic
    Happy 1 year anniversary to my favorite game on the Nintendo Switch!! I love it so much as someone who grew up playing Smooth Moves!!

    Well, both this game and Superstars are good multiplayer experiences, but I would say that if you do not have as many friends around to play with, go with Move It! because the story mode suffices well. I would not say that the game has that much toilet humor, but there is some cake. It took twelve game in the series to have a microgame about unclogging a toilet, and there is only one in the entire series (1700+ microgames) that has Wario farting.

    I was refering to the cake when I was talking about toilet humor. It's doing a diservice to Wario honestly. I feel like the series is going from quriky yet full of personality to just immature. That's actually what actually kept me away from Wario as a kid, I really didn't the find the humor in the modern Wario all that funny, not knowing that there's more to it than that.

    That is fair, although I personally do not agree, I understand it.

    UPDATE: I officially found the song I was looking for! I randomly heard it today and was able to Shazam it, and it is super catchy!



    Fitting too because that is my last day at that job. It was a great day because I got to say goodbye to my coworkers and saw some regulars. Pretty soon I am going to Spain to teach English, and I am super excited (and scared) to start this new chapter in my life, involving what I love, languages. Wish me luck guys!
    GreenToxic
    If you guys are reading this, then I need your help.



    I am looking for a song that goes like this that I heard at Walgreens but it escaped before I had the chance to Shazam it. The melody goes like this and it sounded like a k pop song since I did not really make out any lyrics, was electro and had female vocals. However, it could have been in English and I simply wasn't paying attention. Does anyone recognize this melody? I remember it very clearly, it was probably a newer song. Plz help if you can!

    Let's hope for the best with tomorrow's direct!! Just give me Tomodachi Life or Rhythm Heaven or Wario Land and I'm satisfied. I want Wario Land the most.

    if you can find a copy online, or maybe even a rom (just beware it got taken down on vimm's lair, which sucks), and you have a ds/3ds (or a phone or computer if you have a rom), then i'd suggest starting from the first one, just know investigations is different from the regular ones

    As a longtime fan who's been hoping since Shake It, no. And that's okay!

    The people who made those original 5 games are either passed away or long since moved on to other projects and Shake It's team has moved on to other projects, too. VERY unpopular opinion here, but franchises don't need to go on forever. Sometimes people just wanna work on something else and there's nothing wrong with that. We don't necessarily need a new entry because the games the devs left us will live on in our hearts and memories forever. Wario Land helped me through some tough times in my life and introduced me to many lifelong friends so I am forever grateful.

    Pizza Tower and Antonblast carry on that legacy by being heavily inspired by Wario Land, and their fans will be a whole new generation that love the ideas that Wario Land inspired. I'm content with that. If it does come back, I'll be happy of course, but I think Wario Land is done with new entries. I will always cherish the characters we got and the time I spent (and will continue to spend) with those games.

    I’m shocked how many people are saying that it will never return. It’s not like it’s a game where it’s legal rights are owned by some other company. It might not be anytime soon, but it will return one day. It could also be like decades of more waiting. Games like Donkey Kong Country had new entries from Retro Studios 14 years after the DKC3. All Nintendo has to do is give it someone to make it, whether it’s inside Nintendo or outside.

    I liked Wario Land because every input, level, and mechanics were well thought out. You can ask for too much and get multiple less-developed games, or ask for less and get a glimpse of hope a new game that checks all the boxes of the previous ones. It's weird to imagine that every Wario Land game has a variation. Same with Ware. But it takes risks because Wario Land would need to be different, or a soft reboot. However, I don't think the fans are too vocal about it. What would make a good Wario game when you have loads of material to look through? I like Wario, but the retro market has so much Wario, that making a new one would be on the same level as Crash 4. Wario could go 3D and function like 2D, but it's more of a risk it's not Wario World 2. Would he play like in SM64DS? I want Wario Land to keep existing, but I'm fine with the series staying retro.

    I got with a girl recently and everything has been going alright but I just feel like I'm starting to lose a little bit of interest in her because I don't have as strong of an emotional connection with her because we do not share a lot of interests among other things. I'm still myself around her of course and we never fight but I just feel like I'm losing a little bit of the spark, so I was a little conflicted but after yesterday even more so. I ran into one of my old friends who will be leaving to go to Texas to teach and I forgot just how cool she is and I almost feel like she might like me too, but obviously if I were to reach out to her and get her number, chat a lot, that would not be good because I'm with someone and it would obviously look bad. I'm trying to resist trying to reach out to her so much but this is so hard because her and I have interests and I like talking to her, while I feel like I'm losing a connection with my current gf. I feel so awful now, I was not thinking about anyone else until yesterday when I saw that other girl again and I have no idea what to do because a part of me wonders if I should continue being with someone right now or not... I just wanna reach out to that other girl so bad, I feel like I'm not getting certain things from my current relationship, but I shouldn't do that because that would be bad. I just feel like I'm losing the spark in my current relationship and I hate it so much, I feel trapped and almost want to cry...
