I'm so nervous about the Advance wars remake. I adored the originals as a child and while I'm looking forward to this I have a weird fear that it's going to be a bit of a shitshow. I'm also disappointed that it seems increasingly obvious that the online multiplayer will be hugely limited.

Palmtree Panic posted:They'll likely stick with the Mario Universe for the time being, since its easy money. Next movie will probably either be a direct sequel or a Donkey Kong movie. Yeah I'd be first in line for a luigi's mansion but I bet it will be relegated to direct to streaming. Same with a peach movie if they do one

i think the mario movie looks like rear end but its interesting that nintendo is actually doing stuff like that and the theme park now, it's pretty rare that they exploit their IPs like that (Pokemon is a separate case where they're practically spun off into their own media company which Nintnedo happens to partially own)

It is very strange to go from "Mario has such protective Brand Integrity that every NPC has to be Toad in a hat" to Nintendo allowing Chris Pratt Mario, yeah. I wonder what changed within the company.

Which is fine because that leaves a solid and necessary niche for folks on Etsy and other platforms to occupy that space, but I would be willing to drop a lot of money on some officially licensed items that may be a bit too intensive for smaller creators.

So Hyperlight Drifter with my 8bitdo just vibrates constantly, has any one seen this? Google seems to say there's a FW update that fixes it, but I have the latest update and it still happens.

I visited the NY store in October 2022 and frankly it was disappointing - there really wasn't much to it. It's way smaller than you might think. (didn't take a pano in the store but you can kinda glimpse it here)  It's about 10 racks of shirts in the entrance and then some accessories you can get anywhere else on the right side wall. Upstairs is some more hoodies and shirts for other franchises (I regret not getting the ugly orange Metroid hoodie)  I thought it was going to be huge. Here's a video someone took of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ97PgJdS8c

Keep in mind that a lot of Nintendo’s current “out of character” business decisions all started around 2015 when the Wii U proved to be an huge failure and Iwata started to step back due to his illness. Stuff like Super Mario Run and Nintendo’s current deals with Universal were all announced around that time.

The Mario movie just made Nintendo all the money and smashed records. https://variety.com/2023/film/news/super-mario-bros-movie-box-office-records-opening-weekend-1235577764/   Expect sequels and don’t be surprised if other Ip’s get movies too, Zelda, Kirby, or maybe Metroid. Then they’ll do a multiverse Smash Brothers crossover movie too like what Marvel does with Avengers…

Went to the Shibuya Parco store and it had a bunch of neat stuff, definitely more than just shirts and Pokemon (in fact, there was no Pokemon merch because that was its own store, right next to the Nintendo store). I picked up a collapsible box that looks like a Mario block, some korok sticky notes, and a Zelda mug with hearts that fill up (from left to right!) when a hot drink is poured in. The lines are super long on weekends though; you need to take a number just to get in. Definitely go there on a weekday if you can.

I am preparing myself for the "trinket" overload when I visit Japan in 2024 (🤞 - ticket prices this year are real high from Canada but nothing set in 2024 yet). Video game poo poo, Godzilla poo poo, anything poo poo - gonna need a 2nd suitcase for it all!!

I really hope it will have some form of ranked ladder but fully expect it to be completely random matchmaking (no ELO, nothing at all) with no punishment for disconnection whatsoever. Also it badly needs to have a “play-by-mail” type option for online games but I’m not counting on it.
