Inkling Man

C/D: BOTW and TOTK aren't real Zelda games. No dungeons, no Hookshot, no fuse bombs, and the rules are vastly different from a traditional Zelda game.

What if ARMS gets a $10 eShop game? If Nintendo has the money to make a $30 1-2 Switch sequel, surely they can afford to make an ARMS eShop game. Some would say that's what the first game felt like anyway.

If we're getting a 1-2 Switch sequel, there's no way we're not getting an ARMS sequel too. After years of speculating for it and waiting for it, it might finally come. I never lost faith that it would happen and now it might pay off soon.

ARMS got a symbol on the Nintendo Live 2023 coffee mug. Could this mean ARMS 2 really is coming? (The symbol is the fist in the orange bubble.)

Link should have had the ability to punch enemies in TOTK whenever he doesn't have a weapon equipped.

I like the sound effect that plays when you open the Purrah Pad more than the sound effect that plays when you open the Sheika Slate.

I'm guessing we're getting a Nintendo Direct this June. After all there's not a lot of future 1st party games that we know of besides Pikmin 4. What's coming this fall or winter?

Darth Vader in Smash would still be a better idea than Darth Vader in SoulCalibur. He doesn't fit the theme of that SoulCalibur at all.

My idea for a Smash moveset for SpongeBob.

Neutral special: Bubble blowing. Press B to blow the bubble and it will get bigger and bigger and press B again to blow it at opponents. If you wait too long to press B a 2nd time, the bubble will pop.

Side special: SpongeBob throws a yellow bowling ball at opponents.

Up special: The Bubble viking helmet attack.

Down special: SpongeBob summons his Krusty Krab grill, then his down special becomes dropping frozen patties, after you put a frozen patty on the grill, then his down special becomes using his spatula to flip things, once you flip the patty, then his down special becomes putting the patty in a bun with toppings, thus making a Krabby Patty. Once you do that, then press A to take a bite of it. It takes 5 bites to eat all of it and opponents can steal it from you and take bites of it and the longer it's cooked, the more each bite will replenish, but if the the patty gets burnt while it's being cooked, the bites won't heal at all.

Final Smash: SpongeBob dresses up as the Goofy Goober wizard and uses his guitar to blast lasers.

In ARMS 2, every character should get new default outfits and in Smash 6, Min Min could have 4 alts based on her ARMS 1 outfit and 4 alts based on her ARMS 2 outfit.

What if 4th parties join, but there's a rule that they must appear in other video games before joining Smash and bring at least some representation from said games? Sure Goku and SpongeBob didn't originate in video games, but they still appeared in them. That's enough to consider them video game characters. Why should it matter what they originated in?

If Goku was to join, what would his stage, Mii costumes, assist trophy and music tracks be?

Ending the Smash series is a terrible mistake. Sure Ultimate left the series off on a high note, but there's still dozens and dozens of requested characters who haven't gotten to be playable yet. No more Smash games means no more chances for them to get in. So what if we have to cut a few current characters?

In Side Order, what if another character goes back in time and makes sure Team Order wins, thus resulting in Inkopolis Square becoming what it is now? And the goal of the story could be to collect pieces of a time machine hidden inside Deca Tower and then build the time machine and go back to stop this character from making sure Team Order wins.

The Mario movie made more than a billion dollars while each Sonic movie didn't even make half of that. Mario is dominating Sonic in the video game industry AND the film industry.

So is there only one Inkling or Octoling who has a Smallfry for a pet? If so, the player's Inkling/Octoling is different from every other Inkling and Octoling. The playable Inklings in the first two games are exactly like every other Inkling, so the Inkling who saves the Great Zapfish could be any Inkling. It could be yours, it could be mine, it could be anyone's. Why does the new Agent 3 have something no other Inkling or Octoling has? Now it wouldn't make sense for anyone else's Inkling or Octoling to beat Mr. Grizz.

What are the chances of Diddy Kong Racing coming to the NSO Expansion Pack? It's 2023 and it still hasn't even been announced yet, but it was still one of the best games on the system.

Why else should we not include 4th parties besides "Sakurai said they will never join?"

I don't know why Everyone is Here had to be hyped and made a big deal out of. Smash 4 was only missing 7 characters, so Everyone is Here wasn't that hard to make happen.

I don't understand why Mickey Mouse games were mentioned in Brawl's Chronicle. I thought Smash was for video game characters and video game characters only.

I wonder why the Pyra/Mythra amiibos were announced on the same day as the Future Redeemed DLC.

An interesting thing about the Mario movie is that there's no toilet/poop/fart humor. This is a shocking revelation for Illumination because toilet/poop/fart humor is usually their bread and butter. Did Nintendo tell them not to put any in the movie?

I love that the Mario movie is doing so well. Then again it's Mario in a full length feature film so of course it's doing well.

Side Order feels like a sequel to Octo Expansion. What if the Inkopolis Square we saw in the trailer is actually just a simulation in the Deepsea Metro while something else happened to the real Inkopolis Square?

Why do people want a Smash Bros. movie? It would only focus on a few characters while all the other characters would be either side characters or background characters and everyone would complain about how their main wasn't given enough screentime.

What if Big Man goes through a character arc where he enjoys performing with Callie and Marie and wonders whether to become a permanent member of their band or stay with Shiver and Frye?

I don't think Inkopolis Square becoming a hub in Splatoon 3 is a reward for beating Side Order. Deca Tower has been changed and people can just play Splatoon 2 if they want to explore the Inkopolis Square hub.

I have NO idea why Splatoon 3 is the "epic finale of the splatastic saga." Splatoon is just beginning to become a staple in Nintendo's marketing. Why would they end the series this soon? We didn't even get any Splatoon spin off games. Even Animal Crossing has spin offs.

If Spring Man joins the next Smash game, Ribbon Girl and Springtron should both be alts for him. Sure Ribbon Girl has a few different abilities, but she can have her own victory screens where she uses these abilities while Spring Man and Springtron would each have their own victory screens.

If the first Smash game that introduces 4th parties only has 2 of them like how Brawl only had 2 3rd parties, who should the first two 4th parties be? I thought they should be Goku and SpongeBob.

Why would Side Order come out next year and not this year? It's the size of Octo Expansion, so there's no reason not to have expected it to come out this summer. Did they not start making it as early as they did with Octo Expansion or something?

One thing I don't like about Splatoon 2 is that it treats Callie and Marie very poorly. They only appeared in one mode and Callie got less than 20 minutes of total screentime.

I predict that Jelfonzo, Bisk, Flow, Craymond and Crusty Sean will be in Side Order and become Tableturf rivals. It would make sense if all the shopkeepers in the series up to this point were Tableturf rivals.

So why did Vol. 2 take way longer to complete than Vol. 1? They made all 5 Vol. 1 characters in just a little over a year. You'd think Vol. 2 would have only taken 20% longer to complete since it had 6 characters. And had COVID-19 not have come into existence, it still would have taken as long as it did.

In order to beat Mr. Grizz, you have to feed Small Fry golden eggs. Ironic isn't it? The very thing Mr. Grizz wants is the same thing that can help beat him.

Would you buy the NSO Expansion Pack if Mother 3 was added to its GameBoy Advance games?

I have a faint hope that Spring Man from ARMS will be in either Wave 5 or Wave 6 of the Booster Course Pass along with a brand new course based on ARMS. ARMS is the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe director's pet project, so it would make sense if he wanted to include content from the game he created. Plus that false Mario Kart 9 leak mentioned ARMS characters being in it. There's details that leakers get right and wrong, so maybe they got the ARMS detail right.

Unpopular opinion: I don't mind that Xenoblade games now use anime art styles. The original Wii and New 3DS versions weren't anime styled and X may or may not be anime styled, but 2, 3 and Definitive Edition definitely are.

The great thing about Galeem and Dharkon is that they wouldn't look or feel out of place in any of the Smash characters' original games. The Fire Emblem characters fight fantasy type creatures all the time in their own games, Banjo fights monsters in his games all the time, Kirby fights characters like Galeem and Dharkon all the time, etc.

The manhole in Inkopolis could have been reworked so it would lead to the crater and Alterna, just saying.
