You are just too much of a plebe to understand the beauty of shoujo-ai and the true relationship between Princess Peach and Princess Rosalina.

You are, and I hate to say this because it is very harsh, but it must be said, you are no better than Shigeru Miyamoto.

It's why Bethesda is featured prominently in the video and also why they've been so cagey about what they're bringing... it checks out, coming on launch.

they're also really loving proud of xbx, and probably same for breath of the wild, idk i could unironically see them putting some open world features in mario. but like, some.

Anyway I don't understand why why Nintendo made a posh switch trailer when they could Just show a grandma playing solitarie and just say in big bold letters "no ads, no forced updates, no xbox live login needed" and sell millions of consoles.

When you 100% color splash's museum you unlock art that shows they at some point planned to go back to the Yoshi's Island artstyle, use different toads, have a unique final boss and more.

At some point they decided gently caress that and threw it in the trash so whatever.

Those pirate toads and engineer toads and mechanic toads are literally in the game though.

From what I've read Paper Mario Color Splash is just a gif of Mario jumping on a plain toad.

Engineer is, the pirate ones are literally just the toad in a red vest with a hat on though. The Legendary captain is just a yellow toad with a slightly bigger hat.

My girlfriend's first game was 3d world, she loves playing as toad but was very unhappy to find out that "toads" are a generic thing and are used as placeholders for like everything in Mario games. She feels it's very disrespectful to Toad and he should be a unique character.

I like how they think Nintendo will release it with an Atari 2600 paddle controller attachment. I'll be the hit of all rooftop parties when I bust out some four player Warlords on my Switch.

I think she was original just Princess Peach in Japan but the West hosed it up and called her Princess Toadstool in the beginning, later down the line they were just made both canon so Toadstool is her last name. It's dumb, though Toadstool never gets used anymore.

I think that's from a comic from like 1990.

I'm just learning that Princess Peach and Toadstool are the same person though.

Well, yeah, someone has to see Mario's sick platforming stunts. Would you do a triple jump if everything around you wasn't watching?
