Isn't the PS2 at 160.64 million? Not sure the Switch 1 will pass that at this point thanks to the US tariffs jacking up the price.

Japan doesn't give a fuck about Metroid, which is a major limiting factor for the series & one of the main reasons why Nintendo doesn't push Metroid as hard as Mario/Zelda/Animal Crossing/Splatoon/Pikmin.

Not ENTIRELY random, today's Nintendo's financial briefing & the first wave of MP4 Amiibos are dropping on Thursday. The former is why we got the New Horizons S2E/3.0 update news when we did.

Nabil Mehari @neoxon.bsky.social · 1d

Even just the S2E is gonna sell systems. For context, my ex (who's big on Animal Crossing) texted me not long after the announcement regarding the details of the update. A day later, she messaged me again showing that she bought the Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle.

The ACNH hype is 100% still there.

Nintendo likes to make some announcements around their Q2 financial briefing (hence the reveal of New Horizons’ S2E), so this wouldn’t really surprise me……even I’m a bit iffy on the source of this particular rumor.

The next Mario Galaxy Movie reveal is reportedly coming very soon.

Exactly, I’d be shocked if she isn’t genuine in her intentions. And even if she is the daughter of Shroud like some suspect, BB might not even know it.

To be fair, you can make an argument that her dad might be Shroud. But I feel like it’ll be a situation where she’d defy her (potential) father.

The writing & the vocal performances were the reason why the characters were so memorable, & Nintendo has proven multiple times in recent years that they just aren’t willing to pay for that kind of talent anymore. And while Antony Del Rio still does Pit/Pittoo, he has to go uncredited now.

Nabil Mehari @neoxon.bsky.social · 2d

I meant more that the Nintendo of today 100% wouldn’t pay for the original English voice cast, especially not for the likes of Cree Summer (Medusa) or S. Scott Bullock (Hades). Most Nintendo games are non-union these days, Smash included.

For what it’s worth, it likely wouldn’t be the same under modern Nintendo anyway.

Exactly, it’s already begun.

Yeah, we’re likely never seeing the original game version of Drolta again. For context, this is what she used to look like…

The original version of Drolta Tzuentes from Castlevania: Bloodlines.

Nabil Mehari @neoxon.bsky.social · 4d

She got the glow-up of the century, just overwriting the game version with her Netflix variant would catapult her into one of the most iconic villains in the franchise. Hell, she already is.

With the first 3, they’ll probably just change the designs to be more like Netflix (Ex: Annette will likely be Black in all future depictions) while their lore may end up being a mix of the games & the Netflix series. But Drolta, I’d be shocked if we ever see the original game variant again.

Nabil Mehari @neoxon.bsky.social · 4d

Right, this is for if/when they ever come back around to a new Castlevania game. But even for crossovers like Smash, I could see the likes of Sypha, Annette, Maria, & ESPECIALLY Drolta taking more after their Netflix variants.

Nabil Mehari @neoxon.bsky.social · 4d

Real talk, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Netflix stuff gets folded into the games at some point.

I used gel-based temporary adhesive for my belt & OG jean label, then used precisely-cut packing tape that I taped to the back of Terry's jean label. The smooth side served as a better sticking point than the bare leather's back, leading to WAY fewer instances of the Terry jean label falling off.

Nabil Mehari @neoxon.bsky.social · 4d

The hard part was making sure the jean label stayed on.

Outside of half of the office thinking I was Ash & me not winning any contests, my Terry cosplay went pretty well.

Me dressed as Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury. The jacket is positioned in a way where the jean label is partially visible, & I'm wearing a "Save Gaza, Free Palestine" wristband on my right arm as I hold my "FATAL FURY" hat.

An approximation of Terry's jean label from Street Fighter 6. It says...

"MARK OF THE WOLVES
FATAL FURY

Please do, this looks like the perfect mix of the Kitsune & the Pro KO but I want to be sure before I pull the trigger.
