all they gotta do is port Ultimate to Switch 2, add a few more DLC fighters, and give it a proper Subspace Emissary style story mode and I’m golden
I agree with a lot of the Nintendo 2026 predictions that we will see Super Smash Bros. in some form on Switch 2 sooner rather than later.
Whether Sakurai is involved or not, I don't see Nintendo retiring a series in which the last released game is close to 40m units sold.

it’s like if a white man was killed and people started unironically saying “rest in power, king”
come on, man
come on, man
Say Her Name is not for white women.

I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.

Okay, so we’re getting a new one, right? As well as a remaster of Tactics Advance, right? Please? 👀
Original Final Fantasy Tactics Director Yasumi Matsuno says he underestimated how popular Ivalice Chronicles would be.
He originally predicted it would sell between 800k-1m copies in 3 years. It achieved this in 3 months.

you ever really /think/ sonic wore sneakers?
like, the manuals called it such, sure. I'm sure if kid you was asked, you'd say "sonic wears sneakers"
but did you say that bc you thought so, or just bc it's what the manuals said and it's what cool cartoon characters wear?

when the hell are we ever getting a Bomberman Collection that includes online play?
crazy to me that Saturn Bomberman is, arguably, the best Bomberman game ever and it’s never left the SEGA Saturn

The artwork of Saturn Bomberman used on the cover of the Japanese #SegaSaturn release and for advertising on magazines. Removed some text/logos, adding missing bits with few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!
