Nintendo just hates crediting their employees because they want us to believe their games are delivered fully formed from the heavens or possibly made by magical elves.

Like there is no reason not to credit someone for work they did. Especially in the games industry where you need your name in the credits of shipped games to get jobs.
now that’s just a stupid take no offense. They put it ask the developer interviews for a reason. They are proud of their studios.

Fans however have been complete ***** on multiple occasions harassing developers for absolutely no reason. That’s why they wait till release now

You usually are able to string together a coherent sentence. What happened here?

They're saying that your take is ill informed. Given they have various interviews with game staff over the years.

Granted, I personally think there's more to it than what Z25 does. Partially because Nintendo is an old company, and we know Nintendo is slow on the uptake for many things. But they do regular credits now(since N64 or so), as opposed to the NES and SNES era, where it was easier to keep your people under wraps to keep them from having another company's recruiters to wisk them off somewhere else.

This, like sure I used the word it ask instead of out ask.

But the rest of that is perfectly legible. Point being Nintendo highlights devs all of the time and lets you go in depth about their thoughts and mind sets when making projects.

There were multiple instances in the switch’s life where Nintendo fans harassed developers on social media for no reason. Just mad they were making a game and not doing whatever they wanted.

But knight dude’s points are valid. Also we have even seen Nintendo to go out of their way to update credits in games. I think DKC returns was the last time that happened but I don’t fully recall off the top of my head.

I like that a Nintendo Store casually has this (from Celestial Park)
Luigi and Daisy share a window

I like how with Mario and Peach Nintendo’s like “Oh do they like each other? We’ll never tell, tee-hee!” but when it comes to Luigi and Daisy they’re like “Yeah she pegs him.”

They’re way more willing to acknowledge the little brother’s relationship :nifty:

I hope Diddy Kong will be in the new Mario Kart and Bananza. I know there were rumors that the stuff with P.Diddy's crimes made them not want to use him for name association, but I don't know how true that is.

It says a lot that Nintendo hides the dev teams no matter how obvious, to protect their employees.

Then they pulled out the Air Ride trailer and went

“It’s Sakurai *******!”

And knew everyone would cheer without complaints because he has that much cred with Nintendo fans.
Maybe they only do this to franchises they fully own?

Yeah, I'm not THAT worried about it, it's just I heard in passing that they were talking about it internally. So probably just a rumor going around.

Not much to talk about with the Fortnite update other than Sabrina Carpenter is now out.

For the Adventure Time collab there are three things:
1. Two Instruments. A Keytar inspired by Lumpy Space Princess and Marceline’s Bass
2. Jake’s dance is an emote
3. Two vehicle decals. One for Finn, another for Jake

This Friday in Fortnite, we’re going to very distant lands. We’re gonna wander through the forest and craft whatever we please.

Adventure Time comes to Fortnite this Friday with Jake the Dog, Finn the Human, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline the Vampire Queen.

God, that makes me feel like an antique lmao. I still remember when each novel for Umi was being translated and rushed to install the patch as soon as it dropped.

Fav witch tho this is important. :nifty:
Very good question, out of the main three in the story I'd say Lambdadelta. Then Beatrice and Bernkastel last. I like Bernkastel in terms of writing but I hate her actions -- distinctly, I hate her
horrific and awful abuse towards my beloved, my adored, my beautiful talented and intelligent detective Furudo Erika. I HATE Bernkastel's abuse of my favorite detective, my favorite character in fiction. I love Furudo Erika the most out of all the characters as you can tell lmfao

Still trying to think of a fresh idea for an ice/snow level in a video game. All I can think of are like… the arctic, mountains, and Christmas and those have all been done.

There’s also freezing a location or setting that isn’t normally frozen but I don’t really like doing that. It doesn’t feel as creative as it could be.

Idk, is there something else ice/snow related that isn’t as played out that I’m just not thinking of?

A world that used to be a standard ice level, but everything’s in the process of melting because of global warming.

Was listening to the most recent Kongversation and SnakeFighter64 SnakeFighter64 got name dropped so that was pretty cool.
Yeah I was in the live stream chat ********. Thank god they didn’t repeat a lot of what I said… I think I called them traitors for liking the new design? God it was only a few days ago and I already feel like such an asshole. Was I having a depressive episode or something?

Ok that’s silly but it’s just not clicking with me. Idk what I’m even looking for here really. Just something that… clicks I guess.

Yeah I should probably talk to my psychiatrist about that.

Maybe a giant frozen lake with islands and frozen boats as landmarks and some areas of the ice are thinner than others?

Tundras? Maybe I'm just drawing a blank but they feel uncommon compared to the ones you listed.

I don't know who else is into Nitrome but they just revealed a new game for Switch 2:


Knowing them from their browser games, it's super cool how they are taking advantage of the new console's mouse controls.

Switch 2 will allow button mapping by game and profile.

I'm probably not going to use it beyond Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory (I like to play it with an arcade stick), but still good news for many.
A great feature, but I swear if we go another console generation without first party games having accessibility options built in, I will be really mad, especially for these prices.

System level accessibility is great but it won't change button prompts and I also just want to make the fonts larger.

Where would you rank the Lilo and Stitch experiments on the Scale of Anthro-Animal-Things?

They're clearly sentient creatures like your average Zootopia animal, with advanced intelligence, a language and easy understanding of Earth culture. However they're also prone to more animalistic tendencies not seen by the humans in the setting.

Just asking cuz not only are we gonna get a live-action remake that could throw a wrench into our understanding of experiment sentience, but also I KNOW there are people out there drawing Angel with massive badonkadonks, and that's not even the weirdest thing in the fandom.
