Had one in a tank long ago. I don’t know how smart it was, but those things are crazy agressive, it was chasing everything else in the tank.

I used to dip my fingertip below the surface and it would immediately charge to bite it. Also ate entire earthworms about its size like nothing.

Make your own Donkey Kong figure with papier mâché or something and stick a tag on it. Boom, one of a kind amiibo!

Amiibos are a bit expensive. There are a few DK amiibos, they should all work with Smash because amiibos have a character identifier that’s recognized between games and amiibo series.

The ones from smash bros and super mario series should be around the “normal” price (for me it’s about 13-15 euros). Maybe you can find a second hand one for cheaper.

There’s a new one with DK and Pauline for Bananza, like other new amiibos it costs a bit more (around 18€ for me). It unlocks a costume in Bananza as an extra.

There’s also an old Skylander DK figure that doubles as an amiibo if I remember correctly. It’s kinda ugly and cheap-looking, and probably not easy to find, but who knows.

UK gets EU nothing, UK has left EU.

And the way their politics have gone to shit with mass surveillance and powerful lobbying from anti-LGBT groups, I prefer them not being represented in EU anymore.

I absolutely don’t care what happens to 4chan, but UK starting to fine the internet for being available there and not complying with their bullshit is worrying.

“Another fighting game character”, take your pick. Just with non-nintendo IPs at this point it could be Ryu, Ken, Terry Bogard or Kazuya Mishima.

And then you can throw Solid Snake, Pac-Man, Sonic, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, fucking Minecraft Steve and a Mii disguised as Sans from Undertale into the mix.

No bears where I live, but once I went to a guided tour of a cave. The main attraction was paintings from prehistoric people, but one part of the cave had markings from long before humans got there. The cave walls were covered with claw marks from an extinct species of bears.

Not the same cave, but it looked like that : https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffades_d’ours_des_cavernes#/media/Fichier:P1010114mod.jpg

I am pretty sure this is fake news. There never was such a thing.

Oh fuck, Hard DK has found his way to you too then :)

Streamer Alpharad got a “Hard DK” bit running since they got their ass handed over to them by a crazy Mario Party CPU DK that was just gambling like mad and winning everything.

They trained an incredibly good amiibo CPU DK in Smash they called Hard DK in reference to this.

I see where they’re coming from but seems a bit weird to embark your customers so they back your very specific demand to your employer.

I mean, sure, unionize, fight to make your job better or at least prevent it from getting shittier. But what kind of weight do people who use Kickstarter have in company policy? The only power they have is just to stop using it, and the employees obviously don’t want that. They even had to mention “pretty please don’t boycott Kickstarter” right here in the end.

I got a few scares after falling asleep with an arm over my head, not even crushed, just up. It probably pinches a nerve or something. When I’d wake up it’s like my arm was a dead weight for a minute, I’d literally have to grab it with the other hand to reposition it.

Yeah, completely. Pauline’s got her time in the limelight right now, between Odyssey and DK Bananza, but Rosalina was just relegated to “bonus Peach clone that can do a swirl attack” in 3D World, and that’s basically it.

I prefer the first one to be honest.

2 botches things that worked very well before. Especially the camera that did a good job of always being in the right place in 1, but in 2 you suddenly have crazy angles and blind spots that play against you. This can’t even be explained by more complex level design, so who knows what happened.

Also they got rid of the hub for a small, disturbing looking ship and a very generic map, and they killed any trace of story. Those were two things that really set Galaxy 1 apart IMO.

On the new side of things, there were Yoshi, with different powers, and more challenges (but they kind of feel repetitive, because you end up needing to do the same things with just an additional timer or enemy etc…). And the last stars were quite a bit harder than anything in Galaxy.

Honestly, it’s not been terribly effective, and the ones who stir the most shit usually don’t do it for the right reasons.

Galaxy is so great. Good flow, good looking, excellent music with a mix of epic and ambient… And a new character that got more personality from a short story and a couple dialogues than any character from the series ever had.

Too bad they never really knew what to do with her after that. Except Ubisoft with Mario + Rabbids 2, but… Meh.

Oh yeah, the old “make it a contest and have a bunch of people work for you for free” trick.

I hate that this kind of scam works.

Pesto-apocalyptic, Calzone the Barbarian…

I tried.

There’s Cadence of Hyrule, and the map shifts every game!

Okay, that’s a stretch.

It’s something I feel like more recent Nintendo games haven’t done.

References to past games are still a thing they do quite a lot. Weirdly enough in Super Mario Odyssey they went all in on Donkey Kong nostalgia. 3D world has the Comet Observatory, reimagined levels from 64, Bowser’s Fury brought back Bowser Jr’s paintbrush from Sunshine.

Breath of the Wild is chock full of references, ruins of old places, every land feature name is evoking something, be it a character, an old boss, whatever, music cues from the Temple of Time, Spectacle Rock dungeon, Dragon Roost Island…

Echoes of Wisdom borrowed like 70% of its map from A Link to the Past. Again. They already did that in A Link Between Worlds. Not a fan of that one honestly, I love ALttP, Nintendo please stop nostalgia farming it for subpar games already. I like my maps to feel fresh.

Mario Kart World is almost nothing but references, most tracks are from past episodes, and you can find stuff like SNES circuits on the roads around the official ones. And there are loads of remixes of past games music, from NES to Switch and everything in between.
