Aaah... Google Translate, my beloved

A bit late but I think it's curious that the faces of Fire Emblem are Marth, Ike, and Lyn instead of any of the more modern installments. Going off Tom Nook and Isabelle using their 3DS designs instead of the New Horizons ones, and Splatoon 1 Inkling instead of any of the Switch designs, this...

Yeah, I wasn't sure if IntSys woudl be able to run their own stores. It's a really weird absense, because Fire Emblem's always done pretty well in Japan last I checked, and especially nowadays it's gotten decently big in general. You'd think we'd get something in there, like a Marth statue or...

I've been to the Nintendo Japan store and I think a good bet would be most of the games that got the main focus there Mario, Splatoon, Zelda, and Animal Crossing characters were on the big wall plaque you see going in. Pikmin were also scattered through the plaque and hidden throughout the...

I feel like there's a weird bias against avatar characters in speculation that isn't really reflected in the actual games. The avatars are the player character in, like 95% of every game with an avatar. We have a nondescript Villager and a nondescript Inkling as our first Animal Crossing and...

Yeah, Isaac's the first thing I thought when I saw "glowing han." Though, Isaac isn't just the guy with a big hand; He can also tend to his garden and throw rocks at people Jokes aside Isaac does sound pretty cool just on the basis that he's an RPG hero with Earth as his element. Most RPGs that...

Ah, I see. So I'd assume the Puyos (Or other hypothetical projectiles) would be something like the Belmont's Axe, then? Or would she just manifest the attacks above their heads and let them fall? Oh yeah, and if it falls fertically I'd imagine she might end up with some pretty potent anti-air...

On the note of Puyo Puyo, how'd you expect the puzzle elements to translate into gameplay? I've only played a bit of Puyo Puyo and I'm familiar with the combo-building aspect, but I dunno how to make that go from falling blocks to platform fighting

I think the big bottom line nowadays is less about Nintendo appearances and more about the company having negotiations with Nintendo. So for instance, Joker had a single spinoff on the 3DS that I don't think was even out when he was selected for Smash. However, he's owned by Sega, and Sega's on...

Me madly scrambling to figure out who made that one banger Touhou cover (The title's in Japanese I don't know what to search up)

Eeeeeh... The Switch 2 is on the horizon, most Smash games are dropped in the first couple years after a console's release, so logically any Smash budget would go towards Smash 6. The Fighter's Pass 3 Jumpscare scenario seems unlikely also it wont let us have a stage reform so i dont want it

Yeah, Byleth's problem is that they were set up to be divisive from the outset, and instead of leaning into their strengths they awkwardly tried to compromise. If you liked Byleth's moveset potential, they don't have much whipswording, and they don't play into their magic or the Divine Pulse. If...

Yeah, for what it's worth Lucina was head and shoulders above any other Awakening character. Hypothetically you could get away with dropping her in, maybe decloning her just a little, and calling it a day. That said, Robin didn't get quite so much backlash, so I'm not sure they'd have as much...

Mario watching Gamera play Ridley like a xylophone before performing one of the bloodiest Fatalities imaginable and flying off into the sunset like nothing happened

I'd also like to add that Byleth isn't necessarily the most popular 3H character, either. Back when the game first dropped a ton of people got into Fire Emblem, and Heroes' CYL poll was filled to the brim with 3H characters. Even so, we ended up with Edelgard, Dmitri, Claude, and Lysithea (Who...
