"Everything is [art], Dash"
"Which is another way of saying [nothing] is."

I don't know that I agree with this hypothetical sentiment, but it does give me something to think about.

There's no way it's not Pikmin-related (sound on).

I don't play Pokemon games, and I don't have any interest in either of these games. But Palfarm looks like somebody dropped their Pokemon toys all over somebody's backyard garden in a GTA game. Pokopia's art style is so much more appealing, despite how derivative it is.

This was a fun project to work on! My contributions were Iwata-san and Koizumi-san.

Switch was a pretty cool system and an awesome era to experience. Here's hoping Switch 2 can capture some of the same magic!

Ah. When I "test" the grip on a Joy-Con 1, my thumb isn't even touching the right stick. But I'm sort of holding it while imagining an accessory that puts more plastic somewhere beneath my ring and pinky fingers to grip onto.

I just can't get past this. I don't see how you can say this with a straight face.

I'm going to just guess that you haven't paid much attention to Bomberman over the years. He's gone through a lot of iterations.

Oh man. I love Crash 4 Crash. Dedede oscillates between two fundamentally different designs, based on ones from Superstar and Crystal Shards. Star Fox's redesigns have been more radical than DK's. Like, look at the facial proportion differences here. Sonic is still 1 character separated by time.

In Paper Mario, it's understood that the character is still Mario, even though his features are drastically different. In Theatrhythm, this is still Cloud. Body shape is *nothing* like Cloud. He superficially has the same attributes (hair, clothing). Different stylistic lens.

The DK face design revision was the right call, and the results speak for themselves. If you disagree, I don't trust your judgment. =P

Best Egg Mobile?

I'm seeing a lot of people who haven't yet realized that the Switch 2 Joy-Con Strap doesn't attach magnetically. In fact, the entire magnetic face of the Joy-Con is just fully exposed to the open air. The strap attaches with a simple mechanical latch.

Now that Nintendo is embracing the "classic mario" aesthetic, more YouTubers need to become familiar with the names Yoichi Kotabe and Shigehisa Nakaue. Kotabe solidified the 2D Mario look in the late 80s and early 90s, and Nakaue has been carrying that torch in newer games.

I'm not saying this is a reasonable expectation for Switch 2. But if a mouse-style IR sensor is part of the base feature set, and games actually support it as an input, who's to say this wouldn't be possible, even if only from third parties?

A little something I whipped up this evening. Thanks for being our Mario, Charles Martinet!

Since we can't post video yet, I'll be posting some WIPs for Project Pipe Dream on here. For cool kids only. Here's a Phanto!
