Because of course they're charging full price for this.

Interestingly, this is how Nintendo Today saw fit to close out the Zelda 40th Anniversary theme on the 30th. I want to know what 31 is going to be, and we have to wait three months to find out (Halloween takes priority).

Bring the PS4 entry to Switch and/or Switch 2, then we'll talk.

In the interest of not blowing a gasket in my hand, the drawing I intended to release this morning will be ready by Saturday, alongside a number of other projects currently being worked on this week. After I get some roughs and a stream out on Sunday, Monday's taken off, then animation resumes.

If you can't make the live event for any understandable reason, Sonic's gotcha covered.

When even the problematic programming he intended to validate his BS claims is like "Nah man, you lost that year."

And linked. I will be tuning in next Friday to watch (though I might use it as an excuse to draw that afternoon).

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 6h

Well, I was already gonna tune in for the Year 2 Reveals, but this just gave me further incentive.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 6h

Oh, this is gonna be NOTHING like getting tickets for the Sonic Symphony, is it?

I think it's hilarious that Cai's ultimate weapon in Heroes is literally the weakest weapon that anyone can wield in the game he comes from.

Remember what they took from you

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 8h

I already hate that they're using the Family Guy art style. I wish this had just remained in the realm of live action, because that's where it works best, in my completely honest opinion.

They're like the ultimate comedy act, and Mikaela's the straight woman.

If these are made available at a reduced price, I might go for the Pokopia bundle. (I already have Legends Z-A) I'd prefer not to get that complete package for a whole goshdang $105.

Ten years later, they would craft the amazing remake to one of the greatest Nintendo games of all time. And hopefully, they get to make even more from this series.

I may be a Patron who gets this privilege, but I will be holding off until Saturday so I can see the episode premiere on YouTube live with any followers on Twitch who want to watch with me.

This is, quite frankly, one of those "It's your own fault" situations. Truth be told, I might not even finish Fortune's Weave before Ocarina of Time releases, and that's okay. I can play at my own pace, step away to breathe, and very likely return in the event of DLC.

052

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 9h

Definitely worth seeking out if you're a Bubble Bobble fan, if only because it's a proper physical.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 9h

Y'know, like with Oobleck, I had a certain voice actor I defaulted to because of his notoriety within Viz Media, but honestly, after hearing enough of him as Centurio in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, I would honestly campaign for Justice Washington as the voice of Theodore in RWBY Volume 10.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 12h

Great way to showcase this game for those who've yet to play it and wanted to try it on Switch 2.

Speaking of my obsession with Support, I just found out Esmeralda can bond with Cai, and I'm kicking myself for not giving her some Sweet food or something while I was still playing as him. Now I have to hope Cai shows up in Chapter 6 of Dietrich's route and give him some Cevri.

010

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 15h

I may use Guzran in every almost battle for Cai's route, but because he can't bond with anyone in it, I usually have him hang back and let the main cast do the work. Curse my obsession with the Support cutscenes...

I'm curious how far in advance Brittany Cox recorded the announcer dialogue for the three new Battle Mode stages. If I had to guess, probably at the very beginning, and Velan Studios just needed more time after launch to finish the rest of the features included in the update.

To accompany the new Star Fox update, the full soundtrack is now available on Nintendo Music! Lylat's Greatest Hits!

Battle Mode in Star Fox is now effectively complete. Enjoy three more Maps and the ability to play Four-Player Split-screen, both locally and online!

Cool. There are still tracks missing from this game.

It's probably a little soon to start planning my End-of-Year Review, but I'm already starting to feel like the Castlevania Anniversary Collection is gonna be my Backlog Award for Gaming this year.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I really need to get off my ass and finally start playing this game already.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

My brothers and parents pretty much know everything up thru Twilight Princess, some with Skyward Sword or Breath of the Wild, and my nephew and best friend got their entry thru the Wild series. I'm pretty much the one fanatic who's consistently keeping up with the series.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I will forever hate Sony for locking in an exclusivity deal for these two games. There had better be an expiration date for it, because these teo games deserve to be on literally any other platform.

If Sakurai ends up helming a Remaster or sequel to Kid Icarus Uprising, I hope he finds a way to sneak Sandbag in there, too.

I'm a little curious why neither of these have made it to Switch or Switch 2 by now.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Fortune's Weave has been THE most racially progressive Fire Emblem game to date because no less than two-thirds of the overall cast are designed as People of Color and cast accordingly in the English version. I'd like to think that contributes to its current level of word of mouth appeal.

One of these days, I should hold a stream of playing Mario Party with a few guests. I'll have to see who among my online clique has the game and would be willing to spend a few hours on it for an audience.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This is being outperformed by a re-release of Avengers Endgame, which is being used as a marketing tool for a movie releasing at the end of this year that literally nobody is excited to see. Moviegoers are the biggest hypocrites out there.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I think I've put this off long enough. Give me until Saturday. I might have something for this one.

050

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Y'know what? I'm gonna make a bonus to my announcement for Saturday's stream. Stay tuned for details.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Sadly, because this page seems to limit characters to cartoons and anime, no Black Doom or Mega Man featured in this showcase. Still a great set of characters to choose from, though.

Imagine the collateral damage of a much larger canine, feline or rodent Pokemon getting the zoomies.

Y'know, it's funny how many centuries ago, people were willing to pay hundreds of thousands to commission statues, paintings or murals, leading to some of history's most famous art pieces preserved in museums to this day. Nowadays, folks are hard pressed just to pay double digits on art comms.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

The thought occurs that; In the event of a Wii Nintendo Classics app for NSO on Switch 2, not only would that be a brilliant excuse to update numerous Switch Ports of Wii games to be compatible with a possible Wii + Nunchuck accessory, that update could also enhance their visual quality on S2.

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I like that Fabio takes an interest in Tialla because of her knowledge and intellect. I wish that translated to a Support conversation. In fact, there are quite a number of Support opportunities between characters that feel very missed. Shouldn't Cai be able to bond with Nydine over Orniuses?

130

VGAfanatic (FIRE EMBLEM, BABY!) @vgafanatic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Anatolia has a real hate-boner for Fabio because of his loyalty to what may be an opposing God to hers. Dietrich just kinda gets Guilt by Association, but he doesn't care enough to clear up that he's merely along for Fabio's ride. Esmeralda and Mikaela absolutely would make that argument, though.

Here's a Special Move Set for Eshmel in Smash Bros. that I have a good feeling Delzethin will come up with for his Channel: Standard: Underworld Burst (Cai) Side: Earthen Throw (Theodora) Up: Moving Shadow (Dietrich) Down: Spellsong (Leda) Final Smash: Heroic Purifying Flash (All Four Flame Lords)
