yeah… im not really sure what I expected going into that Pokopia presentation. The game just has zero draw for me. Looks like your standard Pokémon spin-off.

But more power to those who are looking forward to it! Also… you can apparently game share Pokopia with a Nintendo Switch 1 system? How does that work? Pokopia is a Switch 2 exclusive.

What? How does it look like a "standard Pokémon spin-off"? It's the first time Pokémon is doing something like that game. What even is a "standard Pokémon spin-off"? Is Pokkén a standard Pokémon spin-off? Is Pokémon Unite? Pokémon GO???

But also, yeah, BG3 is fun, but I had nowhere near as much fun with it as I had with BOTW and TOTK.

In game share only one of the consoles is actually running the game. All the Switch 1 is doing here is receiving a video stream and sending it's inputs back to the Switch 2 that's running it. Really Nintendo could make gameshare work with any device they wanted. You could gameshare to a steam deck or phone if Nintendo wanted to allow it.

It's like cloud streaming, but locally, and unfortunately really blurry when I tried it.



Early impressions are out for MP4B. In summary: It is everything we could have wanted… but there is one very major flaw by the name of Myles MacKenzie. Won’t say much more than that.

I’d personally recommend at least seeing this “Myles MacKenzie” character in action before purchasing MP4B. Otherwise, you’re really gonna be sent into a state of shock and whiplash upon booting the game up to this character.

exactly! (aka i want Nintendo to drop the cartoony atmosphere.)

You want to remove the cartoony atmosphere from a game in the Mario universe.

Think about that for a second.

That’s what they did for Luigi’s Mansion 1 and it made for a masterpiece.



New overview trailer for Metroid Prime 4. Introduces new areas, new creatures, and new Federation troopers who we probably shouldn't get too attached to.

You're talking about a game where a cartoonish looking cast of characters deal with silly looking (most of the time) ghosts. You make it sound like the first game had bleeding walls and severed heads.

CaptainExplosion, how on earth does “drop the cartoony style” sound at all like I’m saying that the first game had “bleeding walls and severed heads”? I’m saying that I preferred the darker tone present in the OG.

Then say THAT next time!! *fires minigun all over the room in exasperation*

Also, I don't know if this is true or not, but apparently there was a Portrait Ghost cut from Luigi's Mansion because he was too scary. He was a hunter who wanted to put Luigi's head on a wall.



Footage of the Legend of Zelda Movie has begun surfacing online. I’m loving every bit of it! Good call to do live action over 3D animation. I have very high hopes for this film. :)

Who's that character supposed be next be next to Zelda (Bo)? I'm assuming that's Impa - But I'm not 100% sure.

And Link (Benjamin) has the classic tunic on - Kinda looks similar to Twilight Princess. And from the looks of it, Zelda (Bo) has the brunette hair instead of blonde - So maybe this IS leaning more/taking more from Twilight Princess. Which makes sense because out of all the Zelda games that one was certainly the most cinematic (For what that's worth). And Nintendo was clearly taking a lot of inspiration from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy for the aesthetic of that game. And considering this is being shot in New Zealand - The same country where that trilogy was filmed. Either it's a big coincidence or Miyamoto and co. have VERY high opinions of that trilogy (Can't blame them, those movies are absolutely incredible. Still the greatest movie trilogy of all time, and I don't think it's honestly close) and they are trying to capture as much of that magic as they can for Zelda.

Not much to go on - We don't even see Benjamin's full face to see what he'll really look like as Link. But as far as first impressions go - I like it! They both look great! Can't wait to see more!
