Imagine being a normal person and enjoying Smash 4 and hearing that some other people are playing the GameCube game and wondering why the person telling you this is so flushed and out of breath.

Imagine being a person at a tourney playing literally anything and then a group of Melee fans approach your game and start loudly booing the event because it isn't melee.

I heard some of the 'smashers' are also part- or full-time furries. If you don't know what that is do NOT google it at work.

Yeah this smasher I met in Pekin said he was super into lolicons. And I was like "lol icons? Yeah the forum I post on has a ton of those, we call them smiles" and he asked the name of the forum and I told him and he registered and his name is fulchrum.

You guys play Double Dash right? That IS the best Mario Kart game after all... :colbert:

With all the new vehicle additions in the recent Mario Karts, I honestly don't see why they don't toss in the Double Dash tandem karts as an option and be done with it.

Honestly, I could see it happening. All you really need is the Fit Board, the rest of the gamepad and Wiimote stuff is still there in the new Switch controllers and tablet.

no the console as home exercise platform movement is pretty dead. ms basically told their subscribers to get hosed and took down the workouts people had bought and shuttered the whole thing. nintendo could continue it if its big in japan but i don't think there's much demand around the world.
it was born out of the casual appeal of motion control consoles anyway, while switch deffo seems to be aiming at traditional gamers

The positive meltdowns were fun to wade in though. It's the negative meltdowns that can make things un-fun.

Like for about an hour or so following Wii Fit Trainer's reveal at that first E3 Smash 4 was shown off at some people were calling the character's inclusion a huge mistake and a "Waste of a slot." but almost all that negativity was immediately outweighed by the amount of people welcoming WFT into their life and drawing art of her stepping on them and other bizarre things.

Since other people have already mentioned WFT here's a thread from back when she was announced just for posterity's sake.

She took valuable slot space away from potential characters like Mamu the Singing Frog.

I've seen it.
The people who whined about WFT were probably the same people who whined about Cloud and Bayonetta anyways and thus do not deserve to have their voices heard and were rightfully smacked down when Nintendo turned King K. Rool into a Mii Fighter outfit.
