I made an evil clone of my lookalike mii, but since my lookalike is a piece of shit, everyone got along with the clone instead

looking at outsider reactions to splatoon raiders, splatoon has an accessibility issue considering its single-player campaigns

S3 is still in service so RotM and SO are fine but its hard to justify a newcomer buying S1 and S2 and OE in the switch 2 era

splatoon is cool because its learned from the "mistakes" of early nintendo series in which they had to chose to develop mechanical sequels rather than narrative sequels

they actually wrote a world with the intent to develop it seamlessly for decades

put bigfoot and never let him interact with anyone so hes always just wandering around by himself in the distance

hey look at that, the splatoon raiders amiibo are releasing on the same day as the game

TAKE NOTES, SMASH, KIRBY, ZELDA AND MARIO

SAVE OUR SALMONS

I have a feeling the people concerned about miis getting along too well (and not being able to make rude miis) were conservative with the personality quiz and ended up with mostly the middle four personalities

those personalities usually get along with everyone, you know

update: It took me hours to get her sadness bar halfway down, but it turns out all she needed was a holiday!

somehow route 66 and NYC cured her depression...

but its something good to know if you want to cheer a mii up quickly and you have some unspent wishes!

I have a mii that couldnt make any friends and got a crush on the only person who talked to her

but she got rejected and now literally no one will cheer her up because again, she has no friends

I gave her a romance TV show, popcorn and ice cream but shes still depressed

what the fuck

side note I hate when people ask basic questions online that could be solved by cursory research and I hate when platforms enable that behaviour

like reddit mods will flat out say "yeah we dont delete repeat questions because they boost engagement" EVERYONE GET SMARTER NOWWWWW

we make fun of nintendo for the "super mario nintendo switch 2 edition for the nintendo switch 2" thing. and people said there wouldnt be any confusion with calling it "nintendo switch 2"

but people genuinely are that clueless, nintendo needs to be even more specific

tomodachi life has loading screen tips, yeah this game definitely started and ended development years ago, if the interview wasnt proof enough

midnight releases are fun, but nothing beats waking up early on release day to buy a handheld game and then going on a walk to the library to play for a few hours

tomodachi

people are talking abuut the tomodachi life interview as if the whole office clocked in 40 hours a week for 9 years to make it

all they say is that they got the idea for the game in 2017. if that counts, then the 3ds started development in 2002

someone should make a video game that only has latam spanish and brazillian portuguese localisations, and be completely unavailable for purchase only in japan. just to see what happens

nintendo today is so useless

posts about animal crossing music an hour late

no link to ACNH patch notes

radio silence on the tomodachi life interview

is the purpose of this app just to shadowdrop low quality trailers and rerelease concept art?

🫈

hell yeah

now alls left is marios super picross (for wario puzzle 4) and they no longer need to update this app

my rule is "are they noteworthy enough to have their full name and date of birth published on their wikipedia page"

I remember back when sneaslers stats leaked I had 100 redditors calling me an idiot for saying that thing would terrorise competitive

and ever since ive only heard people talk about sneasler as if shes hitler reincarnate

yippie!

im definitely not making it to rainbow before the tomodachi obsession takes hold though

the last 10 matches were really annoying though... a girl forms gigantes twice in a row and all of a sudden the entire lobby targets her for the next hour... lol

what the fuck??

the truth is, to make a game with engaging combat, you just need to make rock paper scissors. and if you want to add more depth without overwhelming your audience, just add another level of rock paper scissors.

but heres the tricky part that most devs get wrong: you cant let rock also beat paper

it took so long but I finally beat hydra and have a gummy of every single machine in air riders!! yippie!!

I always had an idea for "super weapons" on L that cost a few special points to use, as an attack somewhere between the power of a special or sub

like rework splashdown as a dash attack on L, or throw a single bubble blower bubble

not gonna lie, the rose tinted glasses are off and rhythm heaven groove is looking even less polished than it did in the reveal trailer

and the lower price is both a nice surprise and a little concerning

real weird rhythm heaven groove announcement ...

but JULY 2 WOOOOOOO

anyways I guess what I'm saying is tpc has the momentum to launch a dozen unique metagames throughout the year without spreading its playerbase too thin. so i hope they do that rather than only every allowing the current tournament reg in ranked online

something I also expected (but ig the timeline didnt add up) was a pre-phys/spec split reg to coincide with the FRLG ports

and I'd also love to see retro-speculative metagames that merge gen 1-5 mechanics with new pokemon and rulesets
