Urbosa's Panties

On the 8th of September, 2020, Nintendo announced the prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, which happens to be the sequel to the original Hyrule Warriors. It was called Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and it is set 100 years before Breath of The Wild. Maybe Hyrule Warriors will finally be considered part of the Official Zelda Timeline.

While Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will finally answer the questions to the inquiry on how Calamity Ganon won in the first place, which will include how the four Champions who were supposed to take charge of the Divine Beasts met their demises at the hands of the Blight Ganons, a segment of the trailer where Urbosa does a perfect dodge to avoid a Yiga Blademaster's Windcleaver gave people who watched the trailer a glimpse of Urbosa's panties for the very first time. Sounds like Nintendo is slowly trying to create fanservice content that could potentially give their games a "Mature" rating.

End of the Dual Screen Era

Fun fact: The DS in Nintendo DS stands for Dual Screen.

Many people speculated about 2020 being the year the Nintendo 3DS line gets discontinued. It turns out they were right because on the 17th of September, 2020, Nintendo announced that Nintendo 3DS production has officially ended, bringing the dual screen handheld era to an end. Online services for the Nintendo 3DS, however, will not go offline yet, aside from the 3DS eShop being no longer available in certain parts of the world.

Farewell, Nintendo 3DS family! Thanks for taking dual screen handhelds to 3-dimensional levels!

35 Years of Stomped Goombas

Today marks 35 years to the day Nintendo released Super Mario Bros in Japan. Super Mario Bros was often considered the most influential video game of the 1980s, and its legacy lives on to this day.

Super Mario Bros introduced players to a lot of Nintendo icons, such as Super Mushrooms, Goombas, Piranha Plants, and many, many more. Speaking of Goombas, Super Mario Bros was also the game that introduced us to Goomba stomping. Yes, these anthropomorphic shiitake mushrooms turned traitorous and became minor villains, but the reason for the villains' villainy could be justified by the possibility of the Toads harbouring a parasite that would be capable of killing off most of humanity if not for the Toads' incompetence or the villains' villainy.

Happy 35th Anniversary, Super Mario Bros! Nintendo would not be where they are today and video gaming would not have experienced a renaissance without you!
