Tbh I can't remember the last time I've seen so many set photos and 2nd hand info dumps about a movie before the first teaser trailer even drops. The fanbase is pretty much treating this movie like it's any other game in the normal series, uncovering tons of whatever tiny pieces of info it can find at a rapid pace.

I still find it kinda sad that the DS had heavy-hitter 3rd party titles from the likes of Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty, but once the 3DS came around; a much more capable system on par with the PSP, neither GTA or CoD were anywhere to be found in the lineup.
-
There's probably a lot of reasons, but I think the main reason they bailed very early on was because 3DS on the first year wasn't really doing so hot, and I guess they didn't see much of a reason to spend resources on something that probably not a lot of people would buy anyway. Or wouldn't look nearly as good as the HD counterparts
...then again, Black Ops Declassified for Vita exists so lol

Well it's allsorts of reasons but basically the mobile market started to appear and companies wanted to jump to that. Also other reasons too.. GTA Chinatown Wars flopped for Rockstar (and why that was ported to their more comfortable PSP, later mobile) due to being the old top down gameplay that the newer fans didn't like even though the DS could have done a 3D GTA as proven by COP: The Recruit (that the open world got recycled as Driver Renegade on the 3DS, a game that was decent but got low scores). So no more GTA and Take Two as a whole were really picky afterwards. Lucky that the Switch got LA Noire to be honest.
COD was more to do with Actvision winding down support for Nintendo. Probably had the 3DS might have been selling better at the beginning, it might have got one but after 2013 there wasn't much chance. If the Wii U couldn't get Advanced Warfare, it wouldn't have got the other entries...

Yu-gi-oh and Inuyasha are good examples of shows that I wasn't even super into as a kid, but kept watching because they pulled off the cliffhanger thing so well.

I find it funny that when I connect my XP Pen tablet-monitor to my laptop, it's recognized by windows as a "mouse." I mean... technically it's not wrong.

https://nypost.com/2018/09/15/woman-says-galaxy-note-9-burst-into-flames-inside-her-purse/amp/ samsung really needs to get it together. At this rate the whole note line is gonna be discontinued, which would suck because no other phones come close in it's niche category.

I always winced a little whenever Naruto or anyone else in that show bit their thumbs hard to bleed a little for their summoning jutsus and stuff to work.

Although I'm happy that Oda stuck to his guns against his editors at the time and made the story he wanted to make using the art style he wanted to make it in, part of me can't help but wonder how much more of an international success One Piece could've been if it had a more "typical" anime/manga style while still retaining the massive world building and foreshadowing-filled story, because other than length, the artstyle is the only other consistent complaint I always hear about the series.
-
People complain about the One Piece artstyle??
But I like it.

I don't think the art style matters too much. I wouldn't say that One Piece is off putting, its a bit more inconsistent with some characters like Luffy working well with the art style while others look pretty rough by comparison. When it looks good it looks good but when it looks bad, well... It is more unique when it comes to anime/manga and that is a GOOD thing, if it had a generic look it might have not taken off at all due to competition especially of the era such as Cowboy Bebop. Easier to animate sure but then Luffy's charm would be lost.
Probably realistically why it didn't take off in English speaking countries is the poor handling of the series. I think if Funimation (maybe not them) or a more maturer dubbing company got the series first and got the ball rolling, it might have done better. Not Dragon Ball success but at least something that has a cult following. Due to that it is like missing episodes of a soap opera, you kinda lose the plot and interest because you're missing gaps. Detective Conan was the same too... Long length, localisation time gap, companies lose interest in it. It says something when Bandai Namco are willing to release the games but they are often Japanese voice only and sometimes only get an overseas release in Europe like the Wii and the 3DS games. Most likely due to the success in other countries. (Bearing in mind my only exposure to One Piece are the games like a lot of anime/manga related things, played the Switch one Unlimited Red Deluxe or something and found it fun)
I mean the series already has some international understood elements such as pirates and the art style (when it looks good) wouldn't have been as problematic unlike some series where it is pretty Japanese (e.g. high school, their culture). Just like Lupin the 3rd where it feels more Western made with its Bond feel but still has some Japanese elements. That would have really taken off in the UK in the 1970s but it didn't because the opportunity wasn't there...
Maybe in the future we might get a One Piece Kai or something that might partially solve the problem?

I kinda wanna see stuff like Art Academy and Flipnote Studio on the Switch tbh. Nintendo could even sell cheap standard capacitive stylus pens and slap their logo on them, or bundle them with physical copies of Art Academy. Also if they do ressurect either of them, some sort of online community should be mandatory. I sorta miss stuff like Flipnote Hatena from the DSi days, it was a simpler time.

Finally bought a sizable SD card so I can start buying bigger Switch games digitally. I'll still probably get most of the big 1st party titles physically, but I may start getting 3rd party ones digitally to save myself from needing to switch cartridges too often, unless there's a 3rd party game I wanna physically own for collector's-item purposes or something.
