Shadow The Guinea Pig

You were a hyperactive chunky pig, loved your food, loved to wheek and especially loved your cucumber.
Sorry we didn't catch the signs of the breast cancer sooner, I'm just thankful you held on for one last cuddle

I'm so sick of the "erm, Watch out for Nintendo" on fan projects.
like actually shut up it isn't even funny. It's nothing but demotivating and comes off as spiteful to anyone making a fan project based on a Nintendo IP
people don't even realize that they don't take down as much as they lead on.

The Super Beet was a cut power-up found in the files of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3." When hacked into a level, it crashes the game. However, details in the code suggest it was a flying power-up similar to the Propeller Mushroom from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

People need to look at Nintendo Directs as the supplement, not the main attraction.
The main attraction is game releases. When Nintendo has game releases, there's no need for a Direct.
If we get to June without anything dated, then we can talk

On this particular day I want to say that a critic's job is to criticize art, and an artist's job is to make something that resonates with specific people, which necessarily means it won't resonate with others. If every critic liked a piece of art, one or the other of us would not be doing our jobs.

I've been thinking about this and I feel like there's disconnect on both sides.
Samus has never been portrayed as a Boba Fett style Bounty Hunter, but all the Motherly stuff is also being blown out of proportion.
Samus is just a space hero, responding to SOS signals and fighting villains.

The entire fandom’s (and Retro Studios) initial assumption: “Oh she hunts down the baddest monsters in the galaxy and gets paid for it, right?”
Nintendo: “What? No. She’s like humanity’s motherly guardian. What are you talking about.”

the sonic fandom and the metroid fandom are hilarious mirror images where one takes everything the japanese devs say about the characters as gospel and thinks everything that doesn't adhere to it is sacrilege, while the other looks at anything nintendo says about samus and is like "that's wrong"
