In order to foster a connection between the brands, Sony announced that PS1 games will be coming to the NSO expansion pack. Your reaction?

That depends if it's any good and not unfettered ass like the versions of PS1 and 2 games you can get on PSN now, I remember Astro Bot's success making people want to try out Ape Escape only to find out that the emulation was poor

How? The emulation on ps3 was perfect enough you could use any ps1 disc and it’s been generally understood to be a piss easy console to emulate. How do you screw that up so badly?

Sony's cheap and PS5 emulation stinks.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I still see TurboGrafx-16 being the next possible NSO console.

 

[Z25]

Since switch 2 still hasn’t been officially revealed, here’s my predictions.

1) $400 price point

2) Mario Kart launches with it.

3) No new Mario in the initial trailer, instead we get a look at the thousand year door graphics update patch and more. New Mario revealed in first direct of the year.

4) ZA launches with the system. The reason we haven’t seen any gameplay is because they are putting out a special edition Zygarde switch for $450.

5) Third party support will be strong, but a big focus for launch year will be revitalizing older switch games. Backwards compatibility will be a key selling point.

6) Within the first year we get GameCube NSO. Nintendo will still remaster a few titles and hold off on adding them to the service before then.

And for some reason, Americans got the European versions of the games and vice-versa. It's notable for Ape Escape because the US and UK localizations are completely different.

 

[Z25]

Idk if anyone mentioned it here but Amazon is cancelling Metroid Prime 4 preorders, people are taking this as the game getting a higher price tag

Possible, but Amazon has stopped selling Nintendo games lately in general. There seems to be some type of falling out there, so I’m guessing that’s why they realized they have to cancel the pre orders finally.

One mystery in Pokémon that still haunts me is what the heck the Poké Maniac is cosplaying as in HGSS

I always assumed it was the gym statues. Which yes are suppose to be Rhydon but due to Gen 1’s limited capabilities they didn’t have the design right and thus. it looks a different. My guess they just never fixed this for the remake or kept it as a homage to the original sprite.

The next 5* Tera Raid is…Dragon type Alolan Exeggutor.

Not sure why

That’s a hell of a prediction. I sincerely hope ZA, Prime 4, Kart 9 and Xenoblade X all get released in launch month. Nintendo really needs to have a home run right out of the gate with Switch 2. The hardware isn’t astoundingly different than Switch 1 and so the launch games or launch window lineup needs to be stellar.

$399.99 seems to be a fair price

Nintendo apparently not allowing retailers sell physical version pre-orders of games online

For most of spring, a lot of users have been reporting that online pre-orders for upcoming Nintendo Switch first-party releases, such as the remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Luigi’s…

I want to hide in a deep cavern and wait until some travellers appear and play the audio bit from Super Mario 2, "this is as far as you go!"

Not sure why

I think the message here is pretty simple.

 

[Xyro77]

What did yall eat for dinner or breakfast (depends on your time zone)?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

What did yall eat for dinner or breakfast (depends on your time zone)?

Breakfast. I visit my grandpa's every Sunday. Just had some breakfast cake.

Didn't have dinner, am having some rice crackers and hummus tho.

 

[Aurane]

Thinking about reheating a couple slices of pizza with pepperoni and banana peppers.

 

[Dukefire]

I have a feeling that Nintendo is cleaning up certain loose ends to filter any potential leaks and/or unwanted plans that could jeopardize them.

Then again, most if not all answers are behind company's discussions from the public.

And a Flamigo outbreak

[Zinith]

This might sound odd, but um...

Furry OCing MLB teams

I don't know, it seems like a challenge compared to doing it with NFL. Only a few teams are based on animals, and the rest have only colors and letters to go off of. I'd also ignore their actual mascots and go off the look and feel of the teams (some of them make no sense anyways coughmarinermoosecough).

The obvious ones are Blue Jays, Cardinals, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Marlins, Orioles, Rays and Tigers. Simply transpose their team colors to the OC.

Some of the easier teams to imagine (regardless of their official mascots) are:
Astros: Chimpanzee
Athletics: Elephant (based on their old logos)
Braves: Hawk
Brewers: Golden Retriever
Mets: Rat
Nationals: Eagle
Padres: Mule
Pirates: Parrot
Rangers: Horse
Reds: Fox
Rockies: Mountain Goat
Royals: Lion
White Sox: Tuxedo Cat

That leaves 9 I'm having trouble with, either because I can't choose or I got nothing:
Angels: I wanted to cut down on bird OCs, so no dove or anything
Dodgers
Giants
Guardians
Mariners: I wanted a scaley boi to represent my team based on one of the primary colors, but it seems more reasonable to have a dolphin or whale for this
Phillies
Red Sox
Twins
Yankees: I thought horse, but I gave that to the Rangers as that makes more sense

Any ideas?

I just teleported myself to my childhood by listening to ****ing Mapleastory music

Day 5: Mega Beedrill

You ever needle so hard your legs turn into more needles?

 

[TheMightyP]

I may need to delete social media, been getting way too much incel/redpill content on my feed lately, followed by thirst trap jumpscare on loop.

And ngl, I think it's damaging my psyche a lot. The more I scroll the more I begin to hate myself.

Yeah.

But legit, it's a dangerous thing that these sites are promoting. I know the exact reason why it's popping up in my feed (cause I messaged my irl friends about being single and asked for advice) so it feels hella nefarious with an agenda pushed.

No offence but
god bless your soul honey, thats sad.

I mean am I supposed to ask y'all? Hell nah.

And it was just mostly advice to ask someone out. I promise I wasn't ranting lol.

Your friends are exactly who you're supposed to ask about this stuff. As opposed to pick up artist scammers, redpill gurus, and ai chatbots.

2025 will mark 50 years since Jaws.

It'll also mark 30 years since Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, Jumanji, Mortal Kombat, Pocahontas, Toy Story

The sad truth is a guru could say "Run out in traffic and get hit by a car, if you live, that would show the girl you are strong" and some dudes would totally do it

That was the best laugh ive had before bed time, thanks for that

But seriously, Don't fall for the red pill agenda. Gonna see a hell of a lot more real soon.

Stay digital safe out there.

Day 5: Mega Beedrill

You ever needle so hard your legs turn into more needles?

Beedrill is such a cool Pokemon, and Mega Beedrill is even cooler. Makes me angry that it's absolute garbage. The Mega is the best thing it ever got and even then it couldn't hope to catch up with Salamence, Gengar and Mawile and the like.

Pokemon's hatred of the Bug type (outside of Unova I suppose) will continue to mystify me.
