You know what's funny?
My New 3DS XL has been giving me trouble since early last year, not reading my cartridges. I've been trying on and off to try fixing it to no avail. All the while, my dream handheld arrives in the form of the Nintendo Switch.
Today, on my birthday, I decided to tinker with the 3DS again. Other devices were being slow, so I figured I'd kill time. Lo and behold, I managed to get it to work on a whim! So while the Switch may take a little longer for me to get, at least I have a birthday present in the form of my old New 3DS.

I think King DeDeDe's new final smash might be my most favourite in the series

It annoys me a little that Sakurai bothered to invent terminology for clone characters and then didn't bother applying it to actual clones besides the most blatant and lazy ones. Seriously, not even Pichu?

so that's where it went

Two more leaked Mario Tennis Aces characters have been officially unveiled as free future updates!
 

The greatest trick Sakurai ever pulled was convincing people to WANT clone characters

SomecallmeJohnny related thought:
I want to see an updated logo and banner where his new kitten Selene is incorporated into it (Like have her sleeping on top of the logo or something, or showing up in the banner is a cute curious fashion), because as far as I’m concerned she’s pretty much gonna be SGB’s new mascot.

Playable Omega!? Papa likey!

As you all know, Pokemon games tend to have the current Nintendo console sitting in the player's room as an easter egg. So here's a thought: when Pokemon Switch gets here in 2019, will the console be a Switch? Maybe the player will go play Pokemon Switch on it, and inside the game make his player play Pokemon on the Switch...
 

WELP
NEXT WEEK ON MY HERO ACADEMIA IT'S THAT FIGHT
YOU KNOW THE ONE

Am I the only one finding it insanely laughable that it's obvious companies are just pushing out quick trailers ASAP to get stuff announced because someone fucked up big time and leaked them early?

we saved planet wisp's natural wonder from becoming an eggman base just to have some stupid fat americans turn it into a nascar track

Also love how in the middle of all the Pokemontalk,  Sonic Twitter is like "H-hey, look, got a game, too..!"

I think why I have less of an issue with a bare bones plot with Unleashed compared to the entries that would be influenced by Colors after is because while Unleashed certainly started some of the trends, those issues were relatively benign and didn't overshadow the good parts like Colors and most games after.
Most importantly however, was that  Unleashed was a lot like Breath of the Wild in many ways, in that the simple main plot was backed up by a fairly robust and rich world with a diverse amount of characters (even if it was a missed opportunity to expand on Sonic's friends and what they were doing), which gave your adventure a sense of still having something to care about and fight for, even if that depended on whether you were willing to go through those side-quests and worlds.
Colors and most games after never really made any use of the background world they had placed the plot in, either by expanding on the Wisps, Zeti, Planet Hex, the world post Infinite, and etc. They just existed as a backdrop and never went beyond that, and thus I had nothing to fall back on to compensate for their lackluster plots and questionable characterizations.
Now of course you are entitled to not really like the kind of world Unleashed was set in, since not everyone will like a human-heavy world and it could have stood to have more anthro characters and it probably wasn't as well executed as Breath of the Wild in most areas, but you have to admit the world added did make things feel more alive, more like it was a place to protect and truly fight for instead of just the next setpiece for the Standup comedy act of Sonic the Dudebro and Tails the SnarkyCharacterwhostilldoesnothingofimportance.
Oh and Eggclown the SupposedlyBadass.

I drew Tiki from Fire Emblem Awakening yesterday. 

I gotta admit, after playing it alot, I don’t give Smash Wii U/3DS enough credit. It’s still a hell alot of fun.
Guess I worry over quantity over quality too much.
 
 
....but then again, you could expect that when Target Test/Board The Platform/Race To The Finish/ Boss Rush/ Adventure Mode are all absent in favor of Smash Tour....

Part two of drawing Sonic characters differently, here's Nicole in her Overclocked form.
*obligatory Infinity War joke*

Which witch lives in swampy rivers in America?

TEAM DONNIE WINS THE FINAL SPLATFEST
DONNIE IS BEST TURTLE!

This might grab some of y'all's attention
No chill indeed
 

Have an idea for an animated Amy reveal trailer if she becomes playable in a Mania sequel or something:
The heroes are looking out over a zone they’re about to go explore. Tails and Knuckles zoom off first, Sonic is about to follow when someone grabs his arm from behind, he looks around to see a colourless, pencilled Amy latching onto his arm lovingly. Sonic jumps back away from her, he looks at her, eyelids lowered; he’s not particularly impressed. Amy looks back hopefully and wishfully. Sonic rolls his eyes and gives off a smirk as if to say “oh, alright then...”, they grab hands (brining colour to Amy in the process) and Sonic speeds onward, dragging a joyfilled Amy behind him. They come up to some badniks, Sonic throws Amy at them and she produces her hammer out of thin air, ready to attack.

Took way too much grinding, but I got the Donnie King title in Splat 2. Not bad for my first Splatfest.

DONNIE WON THE SPLATFEST! 
ALL SHALL FEAR THE TURTLE THAT DOES MACHINES
