Got a moment? I just put up another community post over on Youtube looking for feedback, to help narrow down what I want to do video-wise later this month. www.youtube.com/post/UgkxaAy...

Mind answering another question for me? I'm trying to narrow down my exact plans for later this month. As you've probably seen, Smash-themed videos have been...

The results are in! After a close competition, Banjo and Kazooie managed to eke out a win! Look forward to seeing a Smash rework for this rare pair in the coming months. -FINAL RESULTS- 1st: B&K 2nd: Olimar 3rd: Link (OoT)

- NEW VIDEO APPROACHING - There's been a lot of talk about the Switch 2 not having its own 3D Mario platformer yet. Let's go over some theories for why it's taking so long, and what the game might be like once it finally happens. Check it out, live on Youtube now!

Update: Turns out I actually intended to have the poll close today and just...forgot somehow. Needless to say, it's been a rough month. For the sake of not confusing anyone with the announcement earlier, we'll leave it open one more day. Poll will close at 5:00 PM Central on September 30th.

We saw a Link rework last week, but who's up for more? My next video just went live for Early Access-level supporters! It'll be live for everyone tomorrow evening. This one's some laid back speculation. Hoping to answer a question Mario fans have been asking since the Direct.

Shower thought: With Fire Emblem having grown the way it has, there's a non-zero chance that, before the Switch 2 era is done, we get a remaster of Awakening.

ICYMI: The new episode of Remake It ended with a poll featuring three more Smash veterans. Anyone supporting the channel (through Patreon or Youtube directly) can vote on who gets a rework next! - CURRENT STANDINGS - 1st: B&K 2nd: Olimar 3rd: Link (OoT) Closer than it looks!

Anyone still up? The next episode of Remake It just went live for Early Access-level supporters! If you want to see how Link could get reworked in Smash 6, join up or wait until tomorrow evening. ...Yeah, sorry this is out so late. Hopefully I'll be able to explain soon.

I've been thinking about something. Most people are just...expecting GTA6 to sweep every award at the end of the year, right? Walk away with everything it gets nominated for in a foregone conclusion? But what happens if it's not quite good enough to do that?

So, that was a pretty strange Direct. Kind of felt like Nintendo was pulling their punches, if that makes any sense? Metroid and Kirby were big announcements, but they were also the ONLY two new first party games to show up. A weirdly low number for these presentations.

Young Link's thousand yard stare reminds me of Kevin McCallister. Like this is a nefarious creature who is about to trick Ganondorf into falling down his entire tower with Zora oil on the stairs and a bombchu running directly into his crotch when he hits the bottom, utterly destroying him.

I guess it says something that my first reaction to the OoT remake gameplay was to go "Holy shit." This is a REMAKE remake the way Star Fox was. Same bones, whole new coat of paint and extra flourishes meant to take what was already there and raise it further.

It's that time again. Can't say I expected two separate Directs, but I guess they're trying something new this year! Must have a lot of Zelda and non-Zelda stuff to cover if they're splitting it up like this.

In a way, this shows the divide in what types of crossovers games are interested in. Do you want as many recognizable faces in one place, or do you want fewer but with more effort put into adapting them? Fortnite's all about the former. Smash leans toward the latter.

One thing about Fortune's Weave that I haven't seen brought up yet? How all of the cutscenes we've seen appear to be in-engine. No externally made animations needed! Which seems to have multiple implications.

My boss, to his credit, argued over and over with the c-level who pushed the AI — “we already have Stella and she’s funny and she’s good at this, she’s done live games before so live ops are no problem,” etc — but the suit insisted “gamers love new tech” so using AI would be “great marketing”

Was hoping they'd do one of these! We still know so damn little about the game even though it's barely more than a month away, so hopefully this'll finally let us in on how the route system works, how the stories weave around each other, and whatever the hell is going on with Eshmel.

Have to admit, I didn't expect these to all be from TotK when we have a remake of OoT and a movie on the horizon. Does it tell us that Nintendo still wants the Wild era to be prominent in merch and etc.? Or does it just mean these figures were in development for a long time? Hard to say yet...
