Thunderbolts* was spectacular. I had high expectations & was still blown away, just giddy the entire way. I haven’t felt this paid off for having kept up with the MCU post-endgame, and I haven’t felt this excited for the future since then either. Plus the characters & their chemistry were amazing.

Dread Metroid Suit skin (or even just a color swap referencing it) in the next Smash & Demon King Ganondorf in HW Age of Imprisonment are the best we’re gonne get out of these I’d bet :/

Wow yeah I haven’t thought of that. Pretty cool honestly

& local co-op in the main story is a MUST. Huge letdown it wasn’t there like in Pikmin 3DX

Absolutely one of the best comics out right now! Mindblowing stuff

Amazing Nintendo designs I’m worried we’ll never see again 💔😭

On the left is all the Metroidvania games I’ve finished (almost done with Fusion). On the right are ones I own / are on my radar that I haven’t gone through. Am I missing any big ones? What should I prioritize? Definitely falling in love with this genre the more games I play.

pretty pretty please!

To celebrate the announcement of Rhythm Heaven Groove, here are two obscure instances of the Rhythm Heaven series repurposing backgrounds from the WarioWare series!

Wow I didn’t realize it did so well. Not nearly as niche as I thought

It's so fascinating to see the range of people who loved this Direct and those who say "could have been an email". People can have a very broad meter of tastes. It's maddening when someone tries to convince another that something they watched was not as good as they think. Don't do that.

Recent reads - man I fucking love comics

You

Yeah ive seen theories that a lot of these characters are dying & we’ll see the rest of the heavy hitters / long time MIA characters in secret wars but idk sounds like a repeat of infinity war imo

Gotcha. I really like all the new affordable ways their collecting stuff lately w compendiums, larger tpbs like tom king batman book 1, dc finest & compact

i have genuinely never made an image so fast in my life

Yeah fingers crossed. Also just saw theres a dark nights metal compendium after i just got the original tpb for christmas dammit

Any other new compendiums? Waiting to hear about Tim Drake 2 & Nightwing 3.

Plus these side series… please Nintendo bring Mario Baseball & Colosseum back!!

Are these now the only Nintendo franchises (with multiple entries) that aren’t on Switch at all? Would love to see Chibi Robo remastered to gauge public interest!! Nintendogs & Pushmo’s absences are definitely weird in my opinion.

Reviving Tomodachi & Rhythm Heaven after over 10 years, updates on Metroid Prime 4 & Pokémon Legends ZA (though I wish we saw Megas), lifestyle news app, digital transfers, and a few nice looking indies. Honestly for having low expectations it was good! Really exciting time to be a Nintendo tan

Cant wait to read this weeks

So on one hand, it’s cool to see them focusing on characters we’ll have seen more recently (F4, Thunderbolts, Cap/Falcon) to help continuity feel stronger. However, it makes me worry more for characters who we haven’t seen in a while & are still MIA (Hulks, Strange, Moon Knight, Vision, Hawkeyes)

My guesses / hopes!

Metroid Prime 4 info dump
Pokémon Legends ZA new Mega reveals / Starter forms
Gamecube remaster (Metroid Prime 2, WW, or TP)
Mario 40th celebration announcement (Mario Baseball, Galaxy 2)
Roundup of last few indies / 3rd parties (MIO, Sonic Rumble)

Insane that this is actually happening. Less than a week before the Switch 2 presentation?!

Metroid Prime 4 & ZA news maybe? Those are the only remaining Switch 1 games we know about, right? Plus some new games?? Exciting stuff

Awesome

Cool idea! So like covering in universe events going on in each book per week?

Common Side Effects is the best show that I hear too little about. Animated show on Max by Mike Judge and the folks behind Scavenger’s Reign (another banger.) It’s hilarious, surprising, moving and profoundly relevant. Full recommendation.
