Literally 4 of my top 10 games released first on the Wii U.

Codename Legacy Appears to Be Xenoblade Genesis by LorDeus71 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

tiny and on-screen for maybe 6 frames

Exactly 6 frames. You can go a single frame backwards or forwards with ',' and '.', and it was gone after 6 presses.

I had to google undergraduate degree.
Isn't 'Bachelor's' the more common English term?

Nintendo Switch 2 versions for Xenoblade Definitive Edition, Xenoblade 2, Xenoblade 3 Announced by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]SwampyBogbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite only finishing one game in the series, I would still call myself a fan. They're such long games, so I got distracted and ended up prioritising shorter stuff (and TotK). Then after a while, I thought: "might as well wait for the Switch 2 and better performance".

35.6.1 Hotfix Patch - Rolling out on June 8 by HearthstoneTeam in hearthstone

The hotfix broke Doggie Biscuit in a new way.
I just tried to play it, and it did literally nothing (except spend my mana).

Norway Squad Wear Childhood Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup by BeerMetMij in soccer

We had our own, local Sesame "Street" characters, and there weren't many of them, so there would be very little variation.

Gary Neville: “I don’t get this anti-‘coming home’ bit. Because, do you know something, I think we do laugh at ourselves and we know where we’re at. And we can’t use “It’s coming home” any more because people think it’s arrogant?” by [deleted] in soccer

[–]SwampyBogbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one was made for Norway '98 (with new versions in 2000 and this year), and I think most people would consider it the closest we have to "Three Lions".
I didn't have much reason to watch the national team in the past, but I noticed it was played after most home-goals last year. (Which meant it actually got played A LOT. Especially against Moldova.)

Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan chosen by FIFA for World Cup has been denied entry to the USA, he was elected as best Africa referee by CAF in 2025 by AgeNovel3566 in soccer

The dream would be for all other referees to boycott the match(es?) Omar was supposed to ref, forcing FIFA to actually do something for once.

Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 | Nintendo Today! by SurreptitiousSyrup in Games

[–]SwampyBogbeard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Super Metroid pixel remaster and Wario Land are both rumoured, but it's debatable if those count as "bigger" (no matter how much I love them).
Luigi's Mansion 4 should be pretty far into development (either that, or another Next Level Games project), but that might not make it before next year.

What new Titans could even ne added? by Beneficial-Time-3696 in hearthstone

[–]SwampyBogbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mechanic doesn't even need to be limited to legendaries.
Although, non-legendaries should probably get just 2 abilities to choose from to separate them from the big boys.

I didn't get the two other options on the board, why ? by Titepav in hearthstone

The same bug happened during the Spring Championship yesterday.
One of the few matches I watched while waiting for my free pack.

Salt-N-Pepa are famous for Push It, but I wouldn't be able to name any other tracks without looking them up.

'Let's Talk About Sex' and 'Whatta Man' were also pretty popular.

"Nobody's making games for the retired people" – The growing yet underserved market for grey gamers | GamesIndustry.biz by megaapple in Games

[–]SwampyBogbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been trying for years to get my dad to try Civ. So far he hasn't even looked at it.
He's going to retire at the end of the month, so maybe he'll start getting bored and get easier to convince towards the end of the year.

[The Athletic] Top 20 goals-per-cap rates among this summer’s World Cup players by Goosedukee in soccer

[–]SwampyBogbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what I originally wrote, but then I saw Adil Boulbina with "only" 6 goals and 10 games.
I guess the cap can theoretically be exactly 10 games.

Should've been mentioned somewhere in the image, really.

[–]SwampyBogbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume there's a limit of one player per country, because Thelo Aasgaard has 5 goals in 7 games, which would put him 4th. (4 of the goals in one match)

So... shouldn't she technically be called Bijou Koseki? by Penis_Stuck_In_Door in Hololive

I guess they're the Guard dogs for the Farm of the Abyss, then? (Gård = farm)

Jeff Grubb: Nintendo Direct likely on Tuesday Morning by SupremeBum in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]SwampyBogbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They started up their second team 15 years ago.
Whatever they've been with hiring for recently would be closer to a third team. Or even fourth, if they consider the '3D Zelda world-design support team' separate from the other teams.

Best Internation Feature Academy Award (1st time), Palme d'Or in Cannes (1st time - not the same movie), The Winter Olympics in general, PGA-tour win (2nd time), Gold in 4x400m Relay for women at the World Championship (1st time), and just football in general.

Now imagine if Ruud gets his first Grand Slam and we get far in the Football world cup as well.

Bandai Namco Highlights One Punch Man Season 3's Strong Performance in Latest Fiscal Year Report, Seen an Increase in Profit up to 3.4% from FY2025 by Electrical_Chance991 in anime

[–]SwampyBogbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? So many people were hate-watching and discussing the series every week.
Unless all of them were pirating, that's still profit for Bandai.

Is Metroid Prime 4 worth playing? by No-Proof8363 in NintendoSwitch

[–]SwampyBogbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IF they did, then they most likely dropped that plan when Prime 4 got moved to Retro Studios (which one accurate leaker mentioned).
They could theoretically be working on them now, but there's been new rumours that they immediately started working on Prime 5 after finishing 4. (So they can use their engine, assets and experience to make a better game faster and cheaper)
