@ArchivistRyan @funkykongfac Yeah I live in a very small town too. I don’t think I’ve seen a 3DS in the wild for at least 8 years. Good to know the tech still works though 👀

@CottrelloVision @funkykongfac Technically the StreetPass service is still fully functional. SpotPass is the one thats dead now. It's just nobody is carrying around 3DS' anymore.

orange means its charging. green means you got a new streetpass

Does anyone know what the difference is between the green dot and the orange dot on the status bar? I need an urgent answer 🙏🏼

They called 643D a remaster in the trailer, though they refer to it as a remake in the Iwata Asks Interview. The workflow seems more on the side of a remake, but the product is meant to function as a remaster imo. It recreates a 1:1 experience, the new Starfox is supposed to expand on the original vision
They also called Wind Waker HD a remake in Iwata Asks- the Japanese word for remaster is rooted in English so I don't think Nintendo uses the term much there. Usually they have some tag like "HD" or "3D" when it's a remaster (despite the workflow being more of a remake)
They DID use the term for a few recent games: Metroid Prime Remastered, Skyward Sword HD, and Xenoblade Definitive Edition (despite that game having a new engine, new assets and new content lol)
When it's a remake they usually just reuse the original title: Super Mario RPG, Starfox 2026, etc

The anime and merchandise were never holding the games back

I was the person who found this advert all the way back in 2014 and despite the many people who have misrepresented it in the years since, no, it was never used to advertise Mario Strikers. This was a rejected ad concept made by one artist that was never used by Nintendo.

@Whisper35218370 Makes sense- must be a nightmare to try and make it all feel cohesive lol. I'm gonna try and find that vid👀

@CottrelloVision Yes that's exactly it. Sakurai explained in a video it was essential to overdesign the cartoon characters so they look less out of place next to the realistic fighters. Smash 4 removed Snake and before it's DLC there wasn't really any specifically realistic characters.
English
This was an intentional move from Brawl->Smash 4, I wonder why they reversed course for Ultimate
Maybe there are too many anime dudes and monsters to pull off a more colorful look?
I imagine Dracula, Simon, JRPG dudes call for a more realistic color palette?

I’ve gotten used to it, but the coloring and saturation in Ultimate is so buns compared to 4 bro I need Smash 6 to bring back colors that pop out
English
@FrostedYukio @DM_SSB It went away and came back periodically. That's kind of my point- you emphasize different things about each project.
On the Nintendo site, the first thing they say about MK8X is "biggest roster ever." For MKW, it's "hit the open road." MKW has about half as many racers.

@CottrelloVision @DM_SSB pokemon hadn't used the phrase in Japan ever and they only used it in the first 2 gens in the west
English
Anyone thinking that smash 6 is going to cut characters is dumb.
What do u think sells more?
“Everyone is here!”
Or
Small balanced roster.
This isn’t street fighter this is smashy bros, and little Timmy don’t gaf about Falcon’s dashback he gaf about playing Minecraft Steve.

@MickbroEthan One trick pony characters breed frustration for both players

How little macs look at you for platform camping their character that has ungodly ground options

@DatToonie To add on to this for ya, New Horizons also mentions Crocodile Isle as well and Keehaul Key from TTYD and we had the TTYD remake and also The Kremlings Returning in Bananza.
English
And ofc there was this really out of pocket reference from Animal Crossing New Horizons (2020). Maybe this is right around the point where Nintendo started internally working to cobble together ideas for a Land revival? Eh who knows. I still don't believe in coincidences 🧍
DaToonie@DatToonie
some other wario land iconography things i've been noticing? battle league. wario's key art has him doing his signature attack from the land games (and with waluigi doing something similar of his own!?) and wario's tackle in-game being the shoulder bash as well

@kristanovva Yeah like how is this fitting on the flight home

@Oswald_Epic Interesting- I’ve always liked Legends more, why do you prefer Origins?
Also did you play Legends on Wii U with a few buddies? Best way to experience it imo, love the Murphy feature. My friend who was buns at platformers clicked with it

okay
Rayman 1 and 3 are peak Rayman
I dont get the appeal of Rayman 2
Origins>>>>>Legends
i like the rabbids

@IJReviewss Yeah if you dropped 30 characters like Pichu and Young Link then added 10 like Waluigi, Master Chief etc no one would be crying about a reduced roster size.
English
It'll be way easier to reduce the roster than people think it'll be. There's about 20 filler characters off the top of my head I'd remove

There’s a line between peaking interest and beating someone over the head. My friend group has gotten their fill of FE from Smash, they don’t want to try the games because the concept is force fed to them with smash
Roll the lords into one character slot like they did with hero, pepper in two more unique characters and call it a day. Bonus points if it’s not a product tie in.
Dorcas for smash

Nobody would have a problem with the Fire Emblem roster in Smash if they didn't exclusively add protags with swords
Imagine if the Pokemon reps were Pikachu, Pichu, Raichu, Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, and Dedenne
This is the reality we unironically live in with Fire Emblem
