The castle in Paper Mario has a very similar layout to Mario 64's, but with actual useful rooms behind the doors, so I always figured the version in Mario 64 had been distorted by Bowser's magic or something.

The 2DS did.

True, but 3D was a much less substantial gimmick than hybridness, and never really caught on the way that using the Switch as both a console and handheld has so far. And it also required changing the name of the console in a way that was rather confusing to average consumers, which I'd like to think they'll try to avoid in the future.

Also on topic, I remember hearing that the console after the Gamecube would be called the Nintendo Magma or the Nintendo Go (which would have been pretty neat since it was the fifth Nintendo console and go means five).

I still say a Switch Mini would keep the joycons. I don't think they'd save enough on manufacturing to make it worth leaving out the central selling point of the console. Move the Home and Capture buttons a bit and you can cut the bottom off the joycons to make the tablet about the size of a smartphone, and it'd be about as comfortable as a non-XL DS/3DS. Maybe figure out some way to make clickable circle pads instead of sticks to make it more pocketable.

But I mean it's probably going to be a while before the Switch's architecture can be miniaturized that much and still have a decent battery life, so who knows where things'll go by then?

Pauline is at least aware of Peach's existence, because Pauline and Mario run a toy company that makes mini wind-up Peaches, but I can't think of any time they've met until now.

Mario and Luigi are identical twins, but Mario is shorter because he got squished when he fell onto Yoshi's Island

I mean I think a woman is allowed to dye her hair once or twice in a 36 year span.

Mario Chat / Re: What are the Koopas/the Koopa called in Japan?

« on: October 03, 2017, 09:04:19 PM »

The running Moai heads in Super Mario Land are called Tokotoko, which is an onomatopoeia for feet hitting the ground and probably also a pun on Nokonoko.

And SMB2 may or may not have been a dream anyway, so really all we have to go on is her working for Popple

Some of his recent hot takes:

"ARMS won’t do well because of the anime stink. It’s amazing how Street Fighter 2 has none of the anime stink. Perhaps it is due to Capcom being so sporty."

"How was Splatoon? Is Splatoon 2 worth buying? I want to know if I should buy Splatoon 2. I hear many people say they get tired of it. While the game has an interesting atmosphere of urban schtock, it doesn’t match the atmosphere of something like Quake or Unreal Tournament. I question how long Splatoon can hold someone’s attention. PS- Japanese children are not allowed to give us their opinions. I am not a Japanese child!"

"What market reality tells us is the true black sheep of the series is Zelda: Wind Waker. That game did not sell as it should!" -- because that couldn't possibly have anything to do with every other Zelda game being on a better-selling console.

The reason Nintendo made a 2D Mario Maker instead of a 3D Mario Maker is they hate 2D Mario and want it to die because everything they do is in service of their ultimate goal to make a VR system where everything is in a 3D virtual world.

Metroid: Samus Returns doesn't count as a 2D Metroid because it's using 3D models; New Super Mario Bros is still 2D Mario tho.

and an email from a fan:

Your last post about video games and woman is priceless. Hahahahahahahahah! Look, I am a married man, but I could not agree anymore with this post. I say this not because I am an unhappy bitter married man, it honestly has nothing to do with that. I say this because I was extremely picky when I chose my woman.

“Why is he saying my woman?” Because I made her my woman. My woman is 9 years younger than me (no, I am not a pedophile, hahahahahahahahah) and I got her straight out of her parents’ arms. She is a woman with strong religious ( christian) and family values and she was a virgin.

For anyone who is considering being part of such institution: be extremely picky!
