A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Do the Nintendo Switch had the best five days ever in Nintendo history.

Maybe we can finally dispel the myth that Zelda and Mario are system sellers and acknowledge the one true god of Nintendo franchises is Pokemon.

Nintendo is done. Finished. Kaput. Bamboozled. Destroyed. Cancelled. When I sent my 23 page manifesto about why Wind Waker should have had hyper realistic graphics and way more blood they should have listened. Now look where we are. Dead.

Their bad Basketball Switch game, Basketball, sullies the name of my good Basketball Switch game, Basketball 2:



Not that the game is anywhere near ready. But all these posts about horrible Switch basketball games have motivated me to develop it further than a jam game.

Maybe we should register a trademark or something. I'd hate to have to change the name.

Will your game have basketball legends in it like Barls Charkley or Potty Skippin?

Probably no names, but possibly gargoyles. Haven't decided if they'll be or gargoyles but I'm not the artist.

I'm sure whichever of the two we choose, they will be totally unique OC creations.

To be fair, it's merchandise that makes Pokemon standout so much...then again one could argue the same about Star Wars.

Pokémon is plain loving bonkers in this context. It's barely 20 years old VS much older stuff going by that list. From a game series that almost didn't happen.

it's a pretty cool story that the no.1 ranked media franchise started out as a basic idea in a self-made fanzine from some guy who just pitched a very simple concept to Nintendo, leading Miyamoto to mentor him through the first games.

it echoes how Hideki Kamiya got started i.e. just some guy who drew a bunch of concepts and designs, got picked up by Capcom, was mentored by a high-profile developer (Shinji Mikami) and the company taking a gamble on him was rewarded with great things.

That'd be a shot clock violation. The intent is to have cannons.

I didn't even think the Merch was that expansive for Pokémon, like, I know it's gigantic but I see Star Wars stuff more than anything else. That's loving nuts.
