this wont fit on social media so i'll say it here. but i've been reading my friend badly wanting nintendo to make a unique new gaming console instead of the switch 2. and i thought of this. what if it's gamecubes. the system is called gamecubes. it's 2 gamecubes where you can combine each game with each other game at the same time to make a combo game. all they do instead of paying to develop new games is work on every gamecube game to make it compatible with combining it with every other game. under the hood it wouldn't genuinely be 2 gamecubes because it would need to be more powerful than that to do this properly but that would be the idea and the aesthetics. then in like 4 years after they've completed all the combinations they can start making a new mario or zelda

That’s a beautiful idea. The guy on the side of the mountain in the Canada level of Tony Hawk 3 peeing off the shoulder of Doshin the Giant. This is the kind of forward Nintendo-centric thinking we need in the Gen Thread.

Nintendo will never make another Wii-esque big swing console. Stability over innovation is the new motto. Trust me, my uncle works there

this would not only be a sick idea but a natural follow-up for nintendo's amiibo. now instead of getting a link action figure and a mario action figure, you just get gamecubes. more game cubes, more power

THE LIAR
Did you know that until recently there was a minor break in the canon regarding Ridley, as the timeline goes Metroid > Metroid Prime Trilogy > Metroid 2 > Super > etc., and in Metroid Prime 3, you fight Omega Ridley, who's all hopped up on cybernetic enhancements and he loving gets atomized at the end of the game, but then two games later, in Super, he just shows up again, totally fine, no cybernetic enhancements. This among other minor blips sewn throughout both games. always made the Prime games, developed by American developed Retro Studios, feel weirdly separate from the mainline games, all directed by Yoshio Sakamoto. But back in 2017, with the release of Metroid: Samus Returns, by MercuryStream, this break was finally healed with the secret boss of that game, Proteus Ridley.



See, he has some cybernetic parts, but not a bunch of them. So now there's a clear line from "fully cybernetic" to "kinda cybernetic" to "not cybernetic". As someone who was a fan of the series for a long time and was always mildly bothered by the game from 1994 and the game from 2006 not getting along with each other, this was very meaningful to me.

Also I always thought it was cute that Samus Returns and AM2R, the fan remake, despite both being developed COMPLETELY separately, both had basically the exact same post-credits scene.

Think I'm just gonna skip it and become a Pipe Guy. Cigars are an incontrovertible indicator of being an rear end in a top hat with zero exceptions but a pipe at least confers wisdom right up until your inevitable death from lung cancer.
