So, you follow me, and you randomly dropped into a post I made 5 days ago and, unprovoked, just so happened to complain directly to me about the first story I wrote for the Sonic comics — which, by the way, was completely unrelated to what my post was even talking about…?

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.

I usually don’t like getting into this kinda shit online, but a black woman is (rightly) saying “hey, stop co-opting our culture” and getting shouted down for it and it’s pissing me off

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.

I think Chaotix is solid if you actually play it with 2 people. That really seems like the intended way to experience it
It’s god awful if it’s just you and the CPU haha
