  • Just saw a video where Charles Martinet commented on the brutal final level in Mario Odyssey in character. Interesting experience, though I'm not sure I'd stay sane in the same situation.
    Hopefully 2018 will be the year we get a new Wario game. Any new Wario game.
    You're my favorite dragon ball super character CM30 can you turn into calvo form for me?

    I love these flying white dots.
    Random trivia time: the lyrics for the Phantom's song in Mario + Rabbids are the only time the words 'Your princess is in another castle' are actually spoken in the Mario series. It's the Mario equivalent of 'beam me up Scotty'.
    Okay, this quote from Master of Disguise made me laugh a bit: " Carpaccio: "Car", as in "car", and I got a nice one. "Pac", as in "posh", which my mansion is. "Cio", which rhymes with "B.O.", which is what YOU got! Seriously bud, shower much?"
    Ah, I love the brochure pages in Super Mario Odyssey. Much more interesting than a boring map screen, especially with details like Culmina Crater being a city wiped out by an asteroid or life potentially beginning on the Moon.

    I do find it somewhat amusing how the Ruined Kingdom one plays up the 'mystery' side though. I mean, it's fascinating:

    "This tower once collected energy from lightning in the thunderclouds that constantly swirl here. Some say it was destroyed by repeated lightning strikes, but others note the unnatural shapes into which the tower crumbled and wonder if it fell into ruin for different reasons entirely."

    "One certainly feels a sense of intentionality in the way they're stuck straight down, as if fallen from the sky. Some see them not as swords, but rather nails or stakes. Perhaps the eyelets at the top allowed ropes or chains through to anchor something, but it's impossible to say what."

    "Some have theorized that the circular plaza atop the tower was built for a standoff of some kind."

    "The stone here has numerous large slashes cut through it, often in parallel tracks suggesting giant claws. But that can't be right—what could claw through stone?"

    But it's not exactly much of a mystery given what happens ten minutes before you arrive. Eh, maybe the in universe writer here was completely blind and somehow failed to notice the boss...

    The brochures in Super Mario Odyssey are definitely amazing and they fit the theme of travel perfectly as they're filled with so many little details and tidbits about each kingdom in the game. it's also a great way of having lore and worldbuilding in the series without it intruding on the main game.

    Seriously the sheer amount of detail and effort that they put into everything is very fascinating to say the least and it only makes Super Mario Odyssey that much greater.

    Okay, this has to be the best TV Tropes 'explanation' for a commercial ever: "Fred's longstanding grudge against Barney, for taking reasonable quantities of Fruity Pebbles and/or Cocoa Pebbles cereal, which Fred is quite possessive of, in order to survive and thrive in the Stone Age, as part of a peacefully coexisting tribal community, has not been well documented on the show, where Fred's hard working family man personality is exemplified.

    Believe me, I've read stranger things on TV Tropes.
    Hmm, do you know what I'm wondering about Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle? How they'll translate the Phantom song into Japanese. Cause that seems like it could be.. interesting to see the Japanese equivalent of the Nintendo Treehouse take on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWv4afWknfM

    What if the rabbids are replaced on the Japanese version, I mean six months for a simple translation?
    Honestly, I kind of miss dial up internet. Bad connections meant people had to write things down. Hate the obsession with video and audio now.
    God, my writing skills have really deteriorated in the last few months or so. Probably because I need to focus on programming, writing and game design at the same time, and it's really damn hard to do so.

    It also doesn't help that search engines like Google and social media sites like Twitter have basically made putting 'effort' into your writing a risky strategy. Everyone just rewards quantity over quality, and it seems success is linked more to how quickly you can get something out rather than how well you explain it.
    Have now completed Odyssey 100%. The rewards are interesting, but a tad underwhelming.

    Apparently the Toad Houses in SMB 3 are actually just a lie. You don't get a choice of 3 random items, it only chooses the item once you open a box. So yeah, your prize would have been identical regardless of the box chosen.

    That kinda pisses me off, Atleast 3D Land is honest with its one present box. 3 chests however are just playing with my emotions.
    Wow, Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon contain paleontological references in the Tyrantrum family Pokedex entries. Neat.

    Very mild spoilers, but:

    Tyrantrum: Complete restoration is impossible, allowing room for theories that its entire body was once covered in a feather-like coat.

    Seems to reference theories that T Rexes (and other dinosaurs) may have had feathers.

    Finally, does anyone else sometimes wonder what it'd be like if Nintendo Power still existed and was reviewing/talking about modern Nintendo games? Okay, I'm from the UK so it'd be more 'Official Nintendo Magazine' for me, but still. Imagine their thoughts on Breath of the Wild, Pokemon Sun and Moon/their sequels, Mario Odyssey, etc. It'd be really interesting.

    They will probably talk about how LA Nora being on the switch is a revolution for gaming itself. lol
