Damn, Mario Maker is so fun! Glad they made a sequel for Switch as I never got to play the original.



Around the Network

CEO tournament has been a bombshell for the Smash community with players having fights, people injuring themselves in pop offs and pro player Ally has retired over a certain situation that came to light.



Accused of inappropriate relationships/grooming underage players.



I hope the Smash scene recovers, it's an incredible game and community :(

Oh, he got MeToo'd.

No, he got called out and punished for pedophilia, which is fucking unacceptable.

I'd hesitate to call it "pedophilia" considering the guy was 16. In Canada where he's from, and the vast majority of the world, that's legal age.

But 27 to 16 is weird AF even if it is technically legal.

Well did the 16-year old in question consent to the relationship?

I've not seen anything saying that it wasn't consensual, or any accusations of assault. Just that the relationship was inappropriate. But it wasn't illegal. It's pretty messed up still though.



The problem is when did he get intimately involved with the person who has been named as player Captain Zack, 16 is the legal age in Canada and many countries including here in the UK so no matter what anyone's moral compass is we can't really condemn Ally over that part but the question now is was he involved with him beforehand which the grooming accusations are stemming from.

Since Ultimate's launch the Smash scene has been the NFL of fighting games in terms of popularity, drama and controversies the game has only been out for 7 months.

Hum, Legal age in Canada is 18, guys.

Unless, this applies only to provincial differences ...

18 is only in regards to things like pornograhpy etc... from what these say.

Anyone know if Turok 2 is still coming to Switch?

Limited Run is doing a physical release of it, which is supposed to come in Q3 this year, I assume at same time as the digital release.
