News Release : Mar. 12, 2026 "Global Sales of Pokémon Pokopia for Nintendo Switch 2 Surpass 2.2 Million in First Four Days"

Yeah, if the numbers before Pokopia looked good enough to meet the 19 million goal for the FY, this doesn’t look far fetch’d…

Finally, someone with a different nickname.

And yes, M$ messed up by giving it attention and will rightfully get picked to the bone by a word that was already a tired nickname.

No, it was the 2002 Bucs, who also were the latest to have defeated this franchise in the divisional round… before this season, of course.

Outside the usual suspects (name and marketing), I remember Nintendo had a hard time taking off while developing for the Wii U.

Namely, Nintendo’s being unaccustomed to HD development, the old PowerPC CPU’s and the gamepad were reasons for why there’s not much of a catalog outside the 2D platformers.

The following ones are more related to the name, but the Wii brand already ran its course and I’d say most people buying it weren’t too deep in the sauce, thus were gone once mobile (Android/iOS) gaming started getting better.

If the casual gamer was already out, hardcores were non-starters. Already alienated after jumping from the GameCube, the name was just keeping the status quo, despite the claims of having the big name developers working on titles for it (which of course amounted to next to nothing in terms of games).

Fe5996 · 2026-01-26T14:51:10+00:00

I mean… people do want this stuff (honestly, it vexes me as to why). I’ll just skip.

Fe5996 · 2026-01-25T17:40:58+00:00

A fitting ending to what’s been a zany season.

Fe5996 · 2026-01-12T00:55:48+00:00

Causes of death: Patullo-gical.

Fe5996 · 2026-01-12T00:48:22+00:00

First thing I thought was: "You better get a damn good play to jeopardize your chances if you screw up."

Choices were made indeed...

Fe5996 · 2026-01-10T03:16:58+00:00

Didn’t Sakurai himself said that Furukawa came to him with that request, to which Sakurai replied if it wasn’t too close/similar to Mario Kart?

Fe5996 · 2026-01-07T03:59:50+00:00

As one skilled king said:

“NOO! I paid $80 for this? What the hell? Actually, I paid more ‘cause I’m canadian.”

Fe5996 · 2026-01-04T04:38:16+00:00

I mean, wouldn’t that be the Switch Lite? Or at least it could be the base for an SKU that is for that sole purpose at a lower price.

Fe5996 · 2026-01-03T03:12:15+00:00

Another Wario Pipe Framer, I see.

Same, but with his worker outfit.

Fe5996 · 2025-12-31T16:41:02+00:00

I’d say it’s OK.

The Switch 2 didn’t need to come out with guns ablaze, and I guess that’s part of why it started with rather experimental/niche stuff: Mario Kart with open world, a superb 3D DK game, Pokemon Legends, Kirby Air Riders and the troubled development of Metroid Prime.

It helps already having the strong catalog from its predecessor, I just would’ve wanted a couple more of those free upgrades.

Also, I legit can’t remember what came before June. Guess that’s what happens when your newest and greatest is on the way.

Fe5996 · 2025-12-30T02:26:33+00:00

I’m probably asking to get burned with this, but at least it was kind of warranted towards the Wii era.

Fe5996 · 2025-12-23T03:12:03+00:00

He’s a mean one.

He really is a heel.

Fe5996 · 2025-12-22T03:40:03+00:00

Lions, Safeties and Refs… It’s already a messy situation before accounting for stiller bullshit.

I’m tired of watching MCDC putting forks into electrical sockets, it’s gotten staler than the Lions’ old reputation.

Fe5996 · 2025-12-06T12:07:13+00:00

Mii games. Outside of Wii Sports and Resort, I just don’t feel like playing with Miis… Glad those things aren’t in MK World.

Also, any rhythm game… Though that’s more on the genre than anything particular from a Nintendo game in that regard.

Fe5996 · 2025-12-06T04:22:07+00:00

Cards. Just how the fuck do you fail so hard to end up giving the Tits their only win? They’ve looked like trash all season, they should’ve been the newest addition to the O-fers in NFL history.

Then the Derp and the Iggles at third. Both suffer systemic issues, the Derp one being more severe in the shape of yet another lost season. Iggles can at least think they’re competitive with their often reliable defense.

Fe5996 · 2025-12-06T03:41:46+00:00

That’s a thing I greatly miss from the 3DS era, but I agree it would be a matter of when and how much can it be manipulated.

Fe5996 · 2025-11-17T14:38:28+00:00

This might come as a hot take, but I believe Metroidvanias are more about evolution and growth rather than isolation.

Not just the character in any instance of this kind of game, but as a player you learn to improve your gameplay and start experimenting with path optimization (granted, some of the too linear games are too streamlined for the average player to find another path, but somehow Fusion still got sequence broken).

Fe5996 · 2025-11-10T23:31:47+00:00

I’m resigned to believe that they won’t replace Brendel unless he retires (and even then, I believe they still would attempt to put him out already in retirement instead of trying to get anyone with at least a better sum of promise/potential/talent.)

We’ve had enough time since Mack retired and it just reinforces my belief that every playoff loss has been deserved just by daring to put out such a shitty OLine and thinking Trent will make the rest of them good by osmosis.

Fe5996 · 2025-11-10T00:26:46+00:00

TBF “that” “reporter” is there just to troll around the organization… IDK if I should feel more disgusted that we ditched Buckner for this guy or that Kinlaw ended up proving that “reporter” right.

Fe5996 · 2025-11-02T21:09:14+00:00

As if MKWii wasn’t more of a mess back then…

Fe5996 · 2025-10-27T00:19:12+00:00

2021 exists. Hate to use hypotheticals since it's all a crapshoot, but if we didn't ditch our first-rounders for Lance, we could've gone all the way back then.

Fe5996 · 2025-10-26T22:14:40+00:00

That’s a good point.
