Then again, Helldivers II managed to not only get nominated, but WIN "Best Ongoing Game" in 2024 despite releasing in February of that same year, which even back then I said was a joke and completely misses the point of an "Ongoing Game" if it hasn't even existed outside of a single calendar year.

Best Community Support is also the exact same list as 2024. And Best Ongoing Game is the same list as Community Support but with Marvel Rivals (a game that hasn't been out for a year yet, and wasn't even eligible for TGA last year). It's just so lazy and phoned in.

Also not even considering the fact that Mario Kart World wasn't an option for best music score, when that might actually be one of the greatest video game OSTs in history just with how much it encompasses. But nah let's just list the same exact nominees as Best Art Direction in a different order.

How does Undermine(d) get a nomination for the Hollywood Music in Media awards but not the actual video game awards? No shade to the nominees but that's a massive snub honestly and I doubt they even considered it because half of the categories are just copy/pasted from each other #TheGameAwards

i saw that too lmao

Would you say they don't even mage the Blood Mage fantasy?

For real though we need glyphs that change the color of or hide certain Hero Talent elements like this (and like the Oracle eye on Priests)

Toad's Captain Toad alt costume in Mario Kart World

With Captain Toad becoming an official alt of 'the' Toad in Mario Kart World, I wonder if this is part of Nintendo's Switch 2 'rebrand' of a lot of characters like what Donkey Kong got. It would retcon previous continuity that shows them as separate characters, but I'm down for it.

Toad from the Super Mario Galaxy Movie on the left, Captain Toad's official render on the right. Showing that both are now wearing the same red neckerchief.

Movie Toad now has the red neckerchief that Captain Toad wears. It was already pretty obvious in the first movie (with the backpack and Toad Brigade theme), but now I'm curious when they'll go the whole way by giving him a headlamp. #supermariogalaxy #supermariogalaxymovie #captaintoad

Maybe Surv needs a ground targeted 'leap' like Grappling Hook, but like this is also a spec that has Disengage on a short cooldown, so it's not like it can be directly compared to Outlaw in that sense.

Honestly I never even knew Coordinated Assault was a gap closer. I think this might just be a balance decision then. The only other gap closers with similar range (on a melee spec) are The Hunt (50y), which also has a cast time and Grappling Hook (40y), which doesn't lock on to the target.

Which ability? I thought this was replacing Flanking Strike, which was 15y with no minimum?

Wild Charge I guess also doesn't do anything to the target, but Wild Charge is weird in general lol. Also I got some of the ranges wrong in the original reply, like Charge is apparently 8-25y not 7-25y, but the point stands. They don't want gap closers to be the same as rotational buttons.

Blade Rush (Outlaw) is one of the few exceptions I can think of, which is 20y range but with no minimum. Clash (Monk) is also weird, being 8-30y. And Shadowstep is 30y with no minimum, but notably doesn't do anything to the target (unlike everything else here that either damages or CCs in some way).

There's consistency with the ranges on gap closers. Most of the 25y ones have a minimum distance as well (7-25y, like Charge, Feral Lunge, Wild Charge). Spells that don't have minimums tend to be shorter range (15y w/ no minimum, like Death from Above, Fel Blade, etc.).

City Trial feels like less of a sandbox and more of a rush to just spam collect stats without much strategy or focus. Machines all feel extremely common so honestly it removes a lot of the hype of finding your favorite machine in the OG. It found it more fun in smaller lobbies in the Paddock.

I loved the texture work in SV, especially on the metal mons. I'd like to see that but with the more vibrant colors.

i kept wondering why you were referring to Donkey Kong as "Abraham Lincoln", didnt realize it was just a mispronunciation. glad that got cleared up in the reupload

Cool features but I'm starting to get a bit overwhelmed with all these new Nintendo apps that all basically do one specific thing while still delivering the same news a lot of the time lol. Why couldn't this functionality be put into Nintendo Today? Or the NSO app?

My vote counted ✅

A new machinima in 2025? Heeeell yeah
