Gyarados is a dragon and so is Dundunsparce

I see the Dunsparce family more like tsuchinokos/nozuchis, not exactly dragons.

Aren't dinosaurs also animals?

Yeah but they’re dead so they get a different category than currently living animals.

You’re lucky I didn’t fill up the list with extinct species from every era, cuz I could’ve done it

You lost me at this one

Yeah but they are also bees.

And what do you call a reptilian chimera? A dragon. That's why they learn dragon rush.

Anything can be a dragon if you stretch the definition enough.

They're also dragons

The Game Boy Advance NSO currently doesn't have any third-party titles

That needs to be fixed

Hopefully the Sonic Advance games, and I guess Battle as well. Most of the Mega Man and Castlevaina GBA games got taken care of though, so unless Battle Chip Challenge gets a lot of shooters we'll be good there. Mega Man and Bass would be better off with the SNES version, but who knows with that one. MMBN 4.5 or MMBN3 Black are Japan only, and being RPGs, would be tricky to bring over compared to a platformer, shooter or fighting game.

Still waiting for the other Final Fight games on there, if not a collection. The banjo titles shouldn't be a big issue, they were already owned by MS when released on GBA, one could hope. I wouldn't mind Alpha 3 and Street Fighter 2X on GBA. The latter has unique art and some new stages in it, so it's a little unique. MK Deadly Alliance and Tournament Edition could be cool. And there's like 2 KOF games, one of which has a few exclusive fighters in it as well. Dunno if Tekken Advance is up for the chance, but I actually had that as my first GBA game as a kid, same with Tekken 3 being my first game as a whole. There's also another fighting game made by the dudes who would eventually make Horizon and Killzone.

Yeah but that's because of a pun.

Okay, but we all know that the real requirement of being a dragon is having a long neck.

Ob, forgot to mention it last night to check lut the original Star Trek and what the **** it is SO good?!? The visuals are gorgeous, the tone between the 2 episodes I saw are pretty different but in a way that isn't "Oh they changed a lot after the pilot" but rather an indicator of the sense of adventure, thrills, character exploration, horror and hey, maybe even romance later and also being surprisingly bittersweet which is cool cause it really ends up making you think about it after watching an episode. Also, damn this show is WAY hornier than I expected, no wonder this show made women make the first fanclubs and fan conventions, goddamn

Zeno Robinson should voice Usopp in the One Piece anime remake

The new Mario Kart better have this or Nintendo might as well not be making the game

Day 12: Mega Gyarados

They finally gave Charizard the dragon type, so I bet they'll definitely do the same for Gyarados!

...Right?

To be fair, with what we know about Gyarados...Dark type fits really well. This thing is MEAN.

Honestly though, a lot of types fit the angry sea noodle. It's quite the flexible Pokemon.

That kart might be better as a boss since that was designed for battle. and murdering karts to kill mario

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Nintendo is probably gonna give us Pink Bronze Baby Peach over the likes of someone like Kkng K. Rool given how they like to waste slots for versions of other characters.

Of all the episodes of the original Star Trek, the only one I’ve ever seen is the one where Kirk and Spock travel to the era of the Great Depression (it was for a history class). Even just that one episode amazed me at how it explored a “what if” scenario over how one tiny detail can change history. I should watch the whole show someday.

My favorite is A Taste of Armageddon, about two civilizations engaged in a 500 year virtual war where only the civilians caught in the virtual warfare are executed (except for the leaders conveniently) and no other effects of war are immediately played out

Saw The Wolf Man reboot yesterday at the show with my buddy.

Surprisingly a decent reboot, especially since it was a January release. The design actually grew onto me as I understand and like the director attempted at a more grounded approach especially treating it more like a disease than a curse.

I'll definitely pick this up on blu-ray especially since I got the other two Wolf Man films the original and 2010 remake.

Also, I was also kinda bothered how the wife looks more like she'd be Blake's older daughter and Ginger's older sister? That's what I was feeling throughout this movie. Lol.

Rumor: According to PH Brazil, the Switch 1 will get one big final game from "beloved" and "somewhat niche" series.

I just watched that one! "The City on the Edge of Forever" - I've been watching through the original series for the first time and I just finished season 1. I thought that was a good episode, and the moral dilemma that Kirk and Spock had was gripping.

I mean, Prime 4 fits the bill for that lol

Also goddamn, there's a Metaphor Refantazio manga now and so far the one chapter's pretty fun

We already knew that

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

The galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter Samus Aran will embark on a new mission in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025.

You keep saying this about games when you just got a release less than a week ago, this is the kinda greed they talk about in the bible

A port of a game I’ve already played with no new content is not the same as even Sonadow Gens. I want something new to play from him.

I’ll still play Returns HD. Once I can afford it.

Donkey Kong is a niche series?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to add so much humor but I don't dislike it.

Interesting how it already deviates quite a bit from the in-game story, I'm curious to check it out.

Somewhat Niche?

So the beloved niche series, supposedly with a history of low sales, is supposed to somehow impress Nintendo by not releasing on their new hardware, but being a Switch 1 title at the end of its lifespan?

Oh yeah, this is 100% a Chibi-Robo game.

 

[Noipoi]

Makes me wonder if there’ll be a standard February direct, focused on the last releases for Switch 1.

I kinda doubt it, but who knows. It’d explain the long wait for the Switch 2 direct.

There are rumors about it

Rumor: Nintendo Direct for Switch 1 games coming next month

Now that the Switch 2 has been revealed, rumors and leaks in general should be calming down. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to go away completely. One thing that stood out in the…

All the big leaker names say such a thing so yeah, probably

Also, wild guess here but I feel this rumour could be a new Yoshi game

Is anyone familiar with gaming source eXtas1s? Today he's claiming to know some third-party games for Switch 2 but I haven't heard of this person before.

Afraid not but what games out of curiosity?

From what I remember, some of the games listed included more MS titles (such as Diablo 4, Starfield (which was listed twice in the title, I guess eXtas1s is just excited about that one in particular), Halo MCC, and a Call of Duty game (this one is hard confirmed due to MS signing a deal with Nintendo during MS's bid to acquire Activision)). Also mentioned were Tekken 8 with DLC and Elden Ring.

Spoiler

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
• Halo: The Master Chief Collection
• Diablo 4
• Call of Duty game (we know for a fact this will happen due to Activision's 10 year contract)
• Fallout 4
• Starfield
• Tekken 8
• Elden Ring

I'll be weary about this as I am not familiar with the source.
