I'm free at last.

Just spreading the word: That recent Miyamoto quote has been mistranslated constantly. He just said that movies are easier to preserve than video games because they don't require emulation or remasters or anything

So, like, I've gotten more than three stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2 before, but they dropped the OST on Nintendo Music not too long ago

Cloudy Court Galaxy is now one of my favorite tunes ever and CANNOT wait to hear it in theaters

Actually, I've been told this is just giving me the icon for the Switch 1 version because I got the pre-order bonus for both, and they didn't give me the game itself on Switch 1 for free. I don't even know, man

Okay, is it really that difficult to just make the #Switch2 version a patch? If Exit 8 of all things can do that, theres no reason why EA, Namco, and Sega can't grow a pair

It's dumb enough that Bananza only dubbed Pauline's voice and everyone else just got subtitles with their Japanese voice, but that's better than just mouthing lmao

Pirate_Cove_Man @piratecoveman.bsky.social · 2d

I mean, it's nice that they give you the Switch 1 version for free if you buy the Switch 2 version, but why a game without a single 3D model in it even needs a Switch 2 enhancement is beyond me

The fact that I'm even part of the same SPECIES as these warthogs is fucking embarrassing beyond belief

Still, the file sizes would make the app unbelievably huge

Also, Skyward Sword, Pikmin 1 + 2, DKC Returns, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, etc. already have Switch ports, while Twilight Princess, Power Tennis, and Jungle Beat have GameCube versions

They literally just ported both of the Galaxy games to Switch, Wii isn't happening. The file sizes would be WAY too much

Can someone pass the Mr. Krabs meme, please?

Like, this isn't even in high demand

In fact, after 100%ing Sunshine and Galaxy on 3D All-Stars while preparing for the first movie and learning that I needed to 100% Galaxy again for the final level, I thought that would be a waste of time and that I'd do it when I organically feel like replaying the game. And, well, here we are.

Pirate_Cove_Man @piratecoveman.bsky.social · 9d

I forgot to post this before, but I'mma be playing through these four games here in preparation for #TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie!

The former two for obvious reasons, and the latter two because I'm really hoping the movie takes at least a pinch of inspiration from one of them.

Ayy, these crumpled brochures I ordered on eBay came with a free golden Mega Man amiibo

Why the fuck are there Switch 2 Editions of ARCADE ARCHIVES GAMES?

@ncaprisun.bsky.social With Bubsy now on NSO I wanted to try to keep my title of Bubsy Master I got at PAX west '19. I still got it and was able to get a better time than on stage XD

All I know is that she would make an awesome Rosalina in the upcoming Mario Galaxy movie. I wouldn't necessarily call her the definitive pick for the role, but I certainly wouldn't be complaining if it ends up happening either

Pirate_Cove_Man @piratecoveman.bsky.social · 10d

I just wanna point out, Kevin Afghani gave us these line deliveries, and some people have the gall to say that AI could've done it better. Like, count your fucking blessings

By AAA, I specifically meant games that cost more than $40

Pirate_Cove_Man @piratecoveman.bsky.social · 11d

Even before the Switch 2 and its controversial pricing, I always only invested in, like, three or four AAA games a year, and any indie titles that look cool.

I mean, hey, DLC's gonna be my only incentive to actually buy the game, and that's assuming they at least try to match Mario Super Sluggers' roster (which shouldn't even be very challenging, mind you)

Pirate_Cove_Man @piratecoveman.bsky.social · 13d

This seems to also be Toadsworth's first appearance on the app
