I agree that it is the finest Nintendo game ever made.
Looks like Ja Morant could miss more than the 2 announced games for the Grizz....

It sucked that BDSP weren't willing to do more, but IMO BDSP benefited from being a remake of a significantly better set of games.QuoteThese games (Fire Red and Leaf Green) are faithful to the original Red and Blue to a degree we won't see again for pokemon remakes for a long time. It is to the point where the game actively prevents you from evolving certain pokemon like Chansey and Golbat even if you meet the criteria to do so until the postgame. To be clear, Blissey and Crobat exist in the game. The games just refuse to let you have them until it arbitrarily decides you can.
It's funny you mention that because the Let's Go games are very similar in that regard. Any new evolution simply doesn't exist (Rhyperior, Tangrowth, Umbreon, etc.) in those games, which feels very weird. I would've hoped FRLG would've been the last games to be overly faithful, though, at the time, I don't think I minded too much. BDSP's dedication to faithfulness to the original was criminal.
I saw a tweet mentioning that Westbrook didn't hug LeBron after he broke the scoring record. Which, I mean, can you blame him?
I saw a video of AD sitting on the bench, and uninterested in Lebron breaking the record.
But AD really didn't seem into the game at all.
Is Origins "1" and the first Baten Kaitos "2"? The presentation kept saying "1 & 2" but I only ever thought of the games as "1 and prequel".
"Baten Kaitos Origins" is the NA name for Baten Kaitos 2, since the game is a prequel taking place decades before the 1st game with a new cast. Considering they seem to be scraping the original NA localizations in these remasters, I wouldn't be surprised if BKO got its original name back.
If they are re-localizing BKO, I wonder if Giacomo's fight song will still be censored. The song had lyrics referencing Christianity and God, but NoA ordered the song re-edited to just have the singer repeatedly chant "hey!" over those parts of the song.
Thanks, nickmitch!
Pokémon is notably absent.
2. Advanced Wars ReBootCamp is slotted into the release calendar at the last minute to fill a gap.
6. Metroid happens in trailer form only.
9. Two HD GameCube ports are announced this year.
10. Pikmin 4 does not come out.
I assume Netflix will run up such a debt that they'll have to file for bankruptcy and be bought by Apple or something. They produce too many shows.

It's only a bad movie if you think about it; otherwise, this is a movie for kids. Modern kids' movies are very nonsensical, and this one is no exception. The slapstick Looney Tunes antics are there, which is nice. LeBron is no better an actor than MJ was, but this movie feels like it asks more of LeBron to act? It feels like a LeBron James movie starring the Looney Tunes and not a Looney Tunes movie starring LeBron. That definitely hurts the film.
Overall, I thought it was good enough. The part I liked the least was where LeBron's son is basically doing magic to make his video game work. It's fine if cartoons are doing cartoon things, but the movie doesn't feel grounded on LeBron's end, so the contrast between worlds isn't really there. The film would've been better off just rehashing the plot from the first film, in my opinion. So much of what the film was going for just wasn't working for me, but I still found it funny.

We haven’t gained access to a part of another region since Gen 2, so I highly doubt that we’ll see a return to Kalos, or even a part of it- if you look at that part of the map, it’s tall and featureless, and would probably be pretty lame exploratory content. Even if we returned to Kalos in some format, it seems to conflict with the nature of Scarlet and Violet’s narrative and thematic concepts, unless we’re just considering “stones” (mega and tera) to be the connective tissue.
The thing is, the third legendary and the rumored Scarlet and Violet DLC legendaries pretty much confirm that the Time Machine isn’t actually a Time Machine. I don’t want to get into narrative specifics, but the supplemental lore pretty much states that there are more dangerous parts of Area Zero that we have yet to explore, and that there is a reason we don’t actually get a glimpse into the past or future that these machines access.
