I just thought of a hypothetical Metroid soundtrack being composed by Richard Jacques AND FUCK I NEED THIS NOW.

So I just recently discovered KingMeteorStudios and his Good Future/BadFuture/Past remixes of Sonic songs. Brilliant stuff. 

Protect the Marines in metroid Prime 3 from the Pirates that breached the ship with their pods: 10 seconds

Protect the Marine from the crawltanks in the next room: 7 seconds

Shut the lock to prevent the Marine from being sucked into space: one quarter of a picosecond

All these Ultimate players howling "FuNdAmEnTaLs" like a group of malfunctioning Tickle Me Elmos is utterly precious to see, because I don't believe for a picosecond that these people wouldn't jump at the chance to have Lucina, Ivysaur, Olimar, and Wolf nerfed to oblivion if the option was presented to them.

Man I sure love me some Stardust Speedway remixes. 

The FFVII port on the Switch has toggles to increase the game speed 300%, turn off random encounters, and notably, reset your values to max during combat, including HP, MP, and even Limit.

While I'm far from complaining about these features existing - the more convenient for new players, the better - I DO wish these could be toggled off in the configuration proper, particularly the God Mode toggle. Pressing those analog triggers can be an accidental occurrence during the thick of it, and idk, I'd feel a bit sour if I was properly getting my ass kicked because I was being dumb, but then one press gave me everything back and made it a breeze. Just my two cents.

So where in the timeline does this new Zelda take place in.

Unpopular Sonic opinion: Marble Garden Zone is one of the best designed stages. The path forward is a great subversion with going vertical without sacrificing flow, the multiple paths are straightforward to see and barely intersect with each other until the end, and the mountainous backdrop is gorgeous and gives the impression that Sonic is running around someplace vast, endless, and untouched. The level really doesn't get enough credit.

All day at work I had the theme song from The Little Mermaid syndicated series playing in my head. I haven't even heard that song since, like, 2003 or something. I have no idea how or why my brain suddenly remembered it.

Super Sonic Racing has been my ear worm for about a week. Damn that reprise 2 minutes in.

Smash Spirit spoilers:

Classic Amy is too good for this sinful earth.

If Galeem struck the universe with one massive blow, how did Mimikyu get killed off by Galeem when its Disguise allows it to no sell one hit. :V

Sakurai and co. looked at the Pauline Spirit battle and concluded amongst themselves that it was objectively correct to leave it like that.

And that's why they should never be relied to develop anything competent.

We can kinda narrow down potential DLC choices for Smash based on the knowledge that they bring a stage with them too.

Like, Dr. Eggman would be a more likely choice over Tails, since Eggman has a big ol' Death Egg he can bring with him to fight at.

“Why does this casual Pokémon game get such good music.”

Because the RBY soundtrack was the only main game ost that was overall demonstrably good, probably.

This will be one of two days where Mr. Mime will be trending on Twitter, so I think it should be considered an international holiday tbh.

When's the realistic Jynx.

Kinda random, but I think "Super Sonic" is a stroke of naming genius.

Snappy, alliterative name. Supersonic is an actual word, and its definition still resonates with the theme. And it still invokes a sense of power and gravitas.

Yeah, naming Super Sonic as such may be simple and perhaps predictable. But it doesn't take away from the impact the name has.

lmaooooooooo goddamn Mariotehplumber is claiming to be the Chadondorf leaker.

Yes. Yes plz.

Bless the Pokemon anime. 

The intro to Tom and Jerry Kids is now playing in your heads, and you now have an entire brain cell dedicated to remembering it. Bwahahaha

Remember that scene in Dragonball Z Buu Saga where Van Zant and Smithy snipe an elderly couple walking down a path trying to find shelter?

Yeah, fuck that scene. My most hated moment in Dragonball, just from how it got under my skin and pissed me off.

This Atelier song sounds like it belongs at home as a Sonic CD Good Future song, damn.
