I just found out the male version of Robin appears in Fire Emblem Engage and the female one doesn't. I have grown incredibly attached to my version of Robin and now I am sad.

#Nintendo #FireEmblem #FEEngage

Also, I know that everyone is excited for Silksong. I am too.

That being said, don't start harassing Nintendo and other developers about its release.

Other games were shown off today that are worth excitement and celebration. Find one. Get excited!

Stop trying to tear new developers down.

I can not describe to you how well this game snagged my attention.

So excited!

Indie World Showcase 8.7.2025 YouTube video by Nintendo of America

If you want to check out the showcase, here you go:

I was not expecting to be as excited after this Indie Showcase.

I am excited to see how some of these games turn out. Awesome little group of games! While there is some weird stuff going on with Nintendo releases (Metroid Prime 4, I am looking at you!) This is a great list to fall back on.

I am not watching the Nintendo Indie Showcase at work. Nope. No idea what you’re talking about.

…But if you tell anyone, I will find you.

If this is your first Kirby game, you are in for a treat. Enjoy it!

I do suggest going back and exploring some of Kirby's roots afterwards. Such a great series.

Weird stuff is always great. I am hoping for some real bangers. Nintendo is acting all weird with first-party stuff, so I would love some new weird games to get the spotlight for a bit.

K-Pop Demon Hunters as a retro turn-based JRPG with Persona-style life sim segments.

Thanks for the heads up. I will try that next time.

Hey... my GIF isn't working! 🫠

If you see this, quote it with a title screen that is iconic to you.

God... the amount of times I played this game. 😌

Thank you.

I have seen other criticisms that I not only understand but can agree with on some level.

The doomerism around its current library is honestly everywhere. Many consoles have a slow start. I am willing to bet that some of the most vocal people still have a Switch 1 backlog.

2. I think that AAA developers put too much weight on graphics. Art style and gameplay matter way more than realism or ray tracing.

1. Big open worlds are cool, but sometimes a chill little game just hits better.

Well, this seems fun.

Let's see how many you all have got in the tank!

I just realized I forgot to include the time zone for my streams!

Both will take place at 8 PM EST and 7 PM EST, respectively.

I’ll make sure to be clearer next time. 😅

I may have to look into that.

Thanks!

I don't like the fact that I love this.

What platform? 👀

Good luck!

It is on my list. I will get to it... One day. Lmao

😂

As a former bookseller, I always saw this as a good sign.

Usually, when we had a visibly high amount in stock, it meant the book was selling well. We had no extra in the back, and every new shipment went straight to the shelves or displays to keep up with demand.

As much as I want the special edition of Fates, I don’t need it. I’d rather have the standard versions if it means I’ll get them, you know? I should be able to pick up those two without much trouble.

Echoes, on the other hand… I’m gonna need a miracle. 😅

Super excited to pick up the rest of the 3DS titles.

My first ever FE experience was on a borrowed copy of Echoes and my SSBU main was Corrin (Pink Player 2 Skin) for the longest time.

Hopefully, they won't be too hard to track down.

I am looking forward to the day that I start one. Mainly because I have heard this from a lot of people. Deaths force you to rearrange your party and allow you to get attached to somebody other than the usual suspects. Should be fun!

I honestly forgot how much I enjoyed this game until buzz about it and the DLC started to trickle into my feeds.

Definitely excited for this one!

I am ashamed to admit how hard I laughed at this.

Straight to jail for me. 🤣

Honestly, this is one of the big reasons I have had an issue moving to digital games.

I will ALWAYS purchase some series physical, but I wouldn't mind having the ability to buy certain games at a cheaper price. 😞

I want to do a classic run of this and every FE game I end up playing... I just don't trust myself to do it on the first playthrough. 😅
