Ah yes, grizzled veteran cop Godzilla and hotheaded rookie cop Kong will solve the case. Maybe it's just Mario logic, where many female rulers are still princesses for some reason. This was the NES era after all. Reminds me of how the Japanese imperial family currently has three people in the line of succession (Naruhito's brother, nephew, and uncle, in that order). Female rulers used to be possible, depending on the circumstances, but the succession rules were changed in 1889 so that only males could inherit. Of course King Ghidorah is real, why else would there be so many myths about multi-headed dragons? I'm guessing one of the Anguis works as a fashion designer on the side.

I can't wait to bomb some Dodongos. Also, more kaiju. I had 250,000 mira at the end of FC, I wonder where Joshua bought a scarf that cost that much.

Did you know? If Alear never gets into Super Smash Bros., then Engage will be the first non-remake FE to not get a main character in Smash since The Sacred Stones. Considering the earlygame equipment is statically better than FC's endgame equipment, it would be outclassed quickly either way. Now, where Estelle's mira went is another matter. Don't worry, Arvis will rewrite the law to allow absolute primogeniture after he and Deirdre have seven girls in a row. It's not like Azmur can come back as a ghost to haunt them over it or anything. (Fun fact, the first real life monarchy to adopt absolute primogeniture was Sweden in 1980.)

Venom spits out all the adults he eats as well. Though for some reason, civilians heal more health than enemies do. I'm usually not that big on the idea of Venom eating people, since the symbiote should be getting its subsidence from its host, but Ultimate Venom has a different origin from the mainline Venom (in that the symbiote was created by Peter and Eddie's fathers as a cure for cancer that went wrong, rather than being an alien) so I'm more fine with it here. Don't worry, Luigi will have a change of heart and educate himself.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's next spirit event is Pokémon themed. Hopefully the last one will have four spirits as well, so the final Spirit list will be even (after Evil Ryu was alone in the last row for two years). Maybe Rean will be one of the last spirits and his battle will have you fight everyone in Class VII, haha. I already memorized the effects of every FEH skill and weapon: "If [unit] initiates, foe dies." Alternatively, some are "If [foe] initiates, foe dies." I like how ONE GAME is still relevant after all this time. But the PS5 has only been out for around two years so... wait, what do you mean it released in 2020? It would be very funny, people wouldn't be able to handle the combined Sonic and prequel memes. I could see it working. If this ain't a teehee moment, then I don't know what is.

Ultimate Spider-Man (2005) is a good game because it prompts you to eat a child to test out Venom's eating ability. Don't worry, Venom spat him out afterwards so he's fine... probably. But the whole point is that it's not the meme. I always got the impression that he enjoys playing Eggman. Maybe letting him wear a fat suit this time was part of his conditions. If he opts to retire for good after Sonic 3, then I'm glad we got a nice little trilogy of Sonic movies with him as the villain. They haven't announced who's voicing Shadow yet, probably because they want to make that it's own announcement. I'm also reasonably sure that Amy will be in it; besides her being promoted as a quartet with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles nowadays, she's important to SA2's plot despite not being playable in the main story. I'm surprised it's not more common knowledge if she's credited in every game, it's not like her Wikipedia page is hidden or anything. She's even on the FE template. I can't believe Sakurai was wrong about Heroes being a main game. Why am I not surprised that Edelgard is the only non-Smash Bros. character to have her own page. If Microsoft won't even make another Viva Piñata, then what's the point? It's only a matter of time before Valve consolidates every developer and Gaben becomes king of the video game industry. And there will still be no Half-Life 3.

Now that Jim Carrey is confirmed to be returning in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, I'm looking forward to seeing his take on the scene where Eggman blows up the moon (not the meme). Incidentally, this is also the first time Carrey is playing a character three times. It turns out Space Jam 2 was supposed to get a Pokémon scene. The Pokémon executives liked it but it was cut for unrelated reasons. They should've made a legitimate criticism like "it's not Xenoblade" or "it's not Trails of Cold Steel". It's a good question. The (new) Third Angel showed up in the second movie, but it's not really clear what Rebuild's First Angel is despite the last film releasing years ago (there are four Adams, and Kaworu claims to be the First and Thirteenth Angel). Rebuild's Eleventh Angel never shows up either and was apparently defeated offscreen. No, that's what the mangas are for. Aside from having the same characters, most of them have nothing to do with Evangelion's plot. Looking a few things up... Miyamoto was 25 when he joined Nintendo in 1977, and 29 when he made Donkey Kong Tomohiro Nishikado made Space Invaders when he was was 34 (in 1978), though he made games for Taito starting from 1972 Toru Iwatani was 25 when he made Pac-Man Sakurai was 22 when Kirby's Dream Land released in 1992 Shoutout to Yuka Tsujiyoko, who made all the music in the first few FE games and is still credited as sound supervisor as of Engage.

@Armagon I can't believe Minecraft turned out to be the next Godzilla game. Xenosaga spoilers Talking about this is rather complicated, since Episode 2 is actually the second half of what Episode 1 was supposed to be. Trails did the same thing actually, but Trails could afford to add games to the main plot. At least for Xenogears we know what Episodes 2 through 4 were supposed to be about.

I just realized that Heroes has been around for seven years now and people still can't spell Alfonse's name right. It's like how most people think Fates's third route is called "Revelations". Well, I didn't mean that it wasn't sad or anything. It was still a pretty good scene though. They're releasing January 31st, don't ask why it's taking a few more days than usual. I too was looking forward to seeing who placed last. That's because all the characters in the art were drawn by Izuka in Heroes. FEH's anniversary pictures are frequently used to commemorate the respective artists' previous characters, so those three were left out because they were drawn by different artists. The helmet dude is Surtr, the villain of Heroes's second book. He has a beard and likes committing atrocities because he can, so perhaps you would like him. It should be fun, getting to play the game again as a remixed character is something Mario should do more often (even if Super Mario 3D World technically also did it).

Daisuke Izuka's anniversary art goes hard. And I can't believe Lumera got an alt, a surprise to be sure but a welcome one. I think Xenosaga 3 went pretty well, for a rushed ending, but But I don't think the rest of Trails will be "rushed" so much that it won't meander around the main plot. Falcom doesn't have a higher company breathing down their necks like Monolith used to. I'm guessing playable Luigi was fit into Mario's proportions, while NPC Luigi was allowed to stay at his usual height. Years of bullying only made Bernadetta fans stronger. Most importantly Veyle placed 10th for women let's gooooooooooo Soon, the Azura fans will rise, and I will be there for it. She placed fifth for women this year, her time will come.

To be fair, "the series will be 90% complete after Kai" and "there are five more games" aren't mutually exclusive (as unusual as that sounds). It's probably meant to hype up how many mysteries will be revealed rather than an indication of how many games there will be afterwards. And anyway, you should be happy that Ouroboros's motives might be explained this time. Thank you. Now that I think about it, getting to play the game again as Luigi as a sort of New Game Plus is a fun reward. Galaxy was the first 3D Mario to include him, so it was probably a pleasant surprise getting to play as him (if you didn't read about it in the guide beforehand, like I did). Not to mention, there are two Luigis in Luigi mode, and everyone knows two Luigis are better than one. Fake, everyone knows Oliver will win.

Lightchao42 is a username I've used since 2008. In Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2, Light Chao are a special type of immortal Chao that have a complicated evolution process. I like them in particular because they resemble Chaos, who is one of my favorite Sonic characters. According to the Hitchhikers's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Nobody knows what the question is, though. My current profile picture is Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion, though the screenshot itself is from Evangelion 2.0; I like this image of her in particular because I think it reflects my usual demeanor.

Teehee Images that are satisfying. I finished Super Mario Galaxy when I was younger but I never got every star until now. By making the creator leave the company, of course. Though at least the story was concluded beforehand, and Guilty Gear existing means that Arc System Works didn't have much incentive to continue it regardless. Preventing this is the reason why Peach and Bowser don't drink champagne in the international releases. The public education system never prepared us for FEH math.

Clearly how Mario Kart was always meant to be played. Oh yeah, that's true. It's also the first Godzilla movie to get nominated for anything. (Note the Godzilla figures also watching the TV) It makes me wonder if Minus One's unexpected international success will make Toho approach its next Godzilla film differently; it'll probably get a bigger marketing push, at least. I'd like a proper Godzilla vs. Rodan if Toho makes another versus movie anytime soon. I agree, she didn't even say anything about The Super Mario Bros. Movie. I enjoy the end-of-service any% speedrun, though technically any cancelled game would have that record because they ended before they actually released. I'm still kind of mad that BlazBlue got a gacha that took three years to make, and then it got shut down in less than a year and now the series is dead.

1 vs. 13 spirit battle let's gooooooooo Also, Godzilla Minus One is getting a black and white screening (i.e. Godzilla Minus Color) for a week, and it will leave American theaters properly on February 1st if you'd like a last chance to see it. Naturally, the poster goes hard: Minus One ended up becoming the highest grossing Japanese language film in the US (Pokémon: The First Movie being the highest grossing Japanese movie overall) and the highest grossing Japanese Godzilla movie, so it had an impressive run.

Also I started another playthrough of Cubivore, you should try it. Voting for Azura, nice. At present I'd rather vote for underappreciated characters and not vote for Azura myself until she has a chance of winning. I'm surprised you didn't vote for Lindon. I suppose there's only enough room on the ballot for one old person from Engage. Eldigan's ballot sure looks strange, I assumed he would spare at least one vote for Lachesis.

It's good to know that "Vinesauce" is Vinny's actual last name. It's been 3000 years... I was wondering if there wasn't going to be an artbook this time but I'm glad to be wrong. This is the questionnaire website, which is in Japanese. Most of the questions are about your feelings on the game overall, and there's also a question asking about any mysteries you'd like to be explained. I still think XC3 could've used an extra infodump at the end, but I have trouble remembering what my questions were at the moment.

Maybe some of them will be like Veld, and get in despite having only 13 votes. He got treated pretty well too. The universe is infinite, so it has no top, bottom or any boundaries. However, it does have an end of time, which is where the Restaurant at the End of the Universe is set. Perhaps relevantly to @Armagon's interests, the third Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book is based on the script of an unmade Doctor Who film, since Douglas Adams wrote a few Doctor Who serials in addition to the HGttG series. Adams did have some trouble thinking of any Hitchhiker's characters who would be actually interested in saving the universe though. Every game does, but in Pikmin 1 you have to get the Whimsical Radar first, which is available early on. Now that I think about it, how many first installments can you think of that have a 1 retroactively added to their title? And to be fair, Olimar starts off with a mostly wrecked ship in the first game. Darn American revisionism, everyone knows that Zeus invented lightning and introduced it to the ancient Greeks. Though apparently there's some kind of lawsuit as to which ancient deity really came up with the idea; I'm putting my money on a Proto-Indo-European god, personally. You could rationalize it by saying she's related to Hyacinth, so a win for her is technically a win for him.

Xenoblade 3 spoilers It took me a bit to get my bearings in the Forest Navel, so it's hard for me to imagine how my younger self would've gotten through it. It makes me appreciate Pikmin 2's lack of time limit in retrospect. Though Pikmin 2 is the Pikmin version of Thracia 776 later on, my lack of memory card space meant that I never found that out. Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure this was the chapter where I changed the difficulty from hard to normal. But she hasn't been votable in seven years. I would've dumped all my votes on Veyle if she wasn't already in, but since she is I'll spread my votes out to other dragon ladies, I guess. Soon... the era of old men and Seforia's hat will be upon FEH, and the fanbase will not be ready for it.

It was, though some of the first-game-quirkiness took some getting used to. I'm glad that I finally got to finish every mainline Pikmin game maybe I'll play Hey! Pikmin someday. I know you have Pikmin experience but I don't recall if you played or finished the first game. Right, you'll be fighting the main villain and they'll say "You S-supported Edelgard in Three Houses, didn't you?" Basically, but there should be more of them and they should be able to (theoretically) solo your army. Do the Black Fang and those who slither count as cults if they don't worship anything? Or maybe "cult" is just a shorthand for "mysterious villain organization" in FE terms. More moral ambiguity discourse seems kind of risky after we got Conquest and Crimson Flower. And we would get even more Kaga jokes, depending on who gets kidnapped.

I finished Pikmin: While I have seen plenty of Pikmin playthroughs before, this was my first time playing it myself, so I think this is a decent run. I'm interested in seeing if I can complete future runs in fewer days; Pikmin is similar to Metroid in that it's designed to be played multiple times to improve your strategy (and hopefully to lose less Pikmin the next time). -------------------------- As for the cult talk, the next FE should have an anime evil organization with a bunch of superpowered freaks, prioritizing varied designs and personalities instead of a bunch of cloaked guys. They can still be mysterious, but they should most importantly be cool. And I like political stories in FE as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't complain too much if Shadow Emperor Ghidorah shows up at some point and contextualizes how unimportant human wars are in the face otherworldly monstrosities. Or something like that, I just like giant monsters. So, nudity makes you stronger on this planet!

Speaking of Smash, here is what's next for Ultimate's spirit events: Aw man, I can't believe Oatchi was disconfirmed as a DLC character. I'm not sure if they're all in the first event, or if each of the games here will get their own spirit event. What, you expect me to sell one of my games? Maybe, but it doesn't seem to go for that much being that Melee is the best selling GameCube game. It's no Cubivore, that's for sure (which I also have, incidentally). Also I'm pretty sure that at least one of my copies doesn't work, but I'll have to check that later. Oh yeah, I heard the Spanish version is especially bad. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think most English translations in the late 90s were done in Japan and English wasn't the translators' first language, hence the various typos. What a beautiful Duwang... https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/defection-detection

Yesterday I learned that I have two copies of Super Smash Bros. Melee, don't ask me how that happened. I thought this was going to be about Half-Life or Portal before the tweet loaded. Only two of these games have any chance of being rereleased within the next decade but besides Guinivere being promoted to playable character status, Lilina would likely become a "main character" so Roy has somebody to talk to aside from Merlinus. Maybe Arion can be playable if they have enough room on the menus for him this time. Never play Final Fantasy VII I mean, they misspelled her name as "Aeris" and everything. Though the glaring typos are fixed in the modern releases of the game.

Always remember to check what your Geiger counter does! Not that Olimar knows what half of his ship parts do, now that I think about it. Armagon traveling through time to start Ryza 3 over yet again: (except this isn't real and the game is actually over, probably)

I can't believe there was a whole localization discussion without mentioning For reference, Mega Man X5's translator renamed the bosses after Guns N' Roses members to impress her husband (they're divorced now). Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 renamed all of them to be more faithful to the Japanese names, so Duff McWhalen is now Tidal Whale in English. I'm flattered that you remembered. I never got around to unlocking every character though... As an aside, I might have been the first person to upload the contents of Three Houses' Shadow Library online, and a great evil was unleashed upon The Discourse as a result. But every Ace Attorney game is like that. There was one time when a defendant was proactive in defending themself, and I was rather surprised by it, but it turned out there was a specific reason for that. Who is going to burst in with decisive evidence of Ivy's innocence? I can't wait to see Sombron's breakdown when Alear yells "Take that!" at him. Soon Wait a minute, did you finish Ryza 3 yet?
