I’m imagining if the new Tomodachi Life were to get a freeroam mode, where you can wander around the island on foot to watch the Miis do stuff (as opposed to the disembodied flying camera you usually have.) Although, it’d have to be first person only since the player in Tomodachi Life games is never seen aside from their hands and arms.

And then, I realized it’d be the most LEGO Island 1 thing in ages. Just walking around a weird island in first person watching weird people do weird things. If this does end up being a thing, I’ll have to try playing the Lego Island OST in the background to soak up all the vibes.
I hope in 15 or 20 years, my kid will be able to post this and say "I can't believe someone made this as a joke, it's real now".
You know with the mouse con being so prominently featured, Nintendo should just bite the bullet and get some Super Scope games on NSO for use with it. Yeah, it wouldn't be the same as utilizing the gun itself, but as someone that's played Yoshi Safari with a mouse before, it's a surprisingly natural fit after a while. Playing Tin Star with the mouse is a at the very least sounding more intriguing than Drag x Drive.
Fun Smash trivia quiz because I'm bored (but this one should be a lot easier than others I've posted in the past) - when a character performs a parry or receives their Final Smash in Ultimate, there's a little glint in their character portrait's eye on the HUD.

There are technically four playable characters who are exceptions to this rule; who are they, and where does the glint appear for each of them?

The others are characters who don’t have eyes like game and watch. Could not tell you where the glint appears

I wanna say Samus and dark Samus but I think meta knight’s sword glints

You're right on Piranha Plant, and in theory, your logic about characters not having eyes is sound given that's why it applies to Pirahna Plant... but it's technically incorrect.

(That said; Game & Watch would technically count as a 5th example of this, but given some of his forms do actually have eyes, he isn't really an eyeless character.) But, Samus, Dark Samus and Meta Knight aren't actually who this applies to.

It's actually the Mii Fighters. Despite the glint being placed where their eyes would be by default (as in, using a default Mii), the glint doesn't change based on their actual eye positions; so Miis with eyes particularly far from the "default" don't have the glint where their eyes are, just where they should be.

Hence the big "technically" for Game & Watch. In his case, the glint is always where his eye would be, whereas in the Mii's case, that would alwayd apply, so they're technically exceptions to the rule.
