I'd argue that despite TP's dingy aesthetic, TP Ganondorf is based on TWW's design. It's a much closer match.
I know; I still wish he's in, but I have a Snake Mii of my own all line up. Plus one for Bayonetta. Them, Nikki, Nester, Reggie, and Speedwagon are going to be my main Miis, hopefully until Bayo and Snake get in as DLC.
I know... At least Awkward Zombie did a Smash 4 comic, though! Katie was arguably the best cartoonist for Melee, so maybe we'll get a weekly return to form for awhile? I mean, her current favorite game does get more focus than others (Just look at her Warcraft, Fallout, and Bravely Default comics), so maybe while Matt's actually getting into the game's industry, Katie'll cover for him regarding Smash 4 comics? Besides, after her comic with [NAME REDACTED], she said she wanted to do a bunch of lead-in comics with other potential newcomers, before realizing the roster has been known for awhile and the game's already out in Japan. Maybe she has other now-rejected newcomer comics lined up, too? Or maybe she got prophetic like BitF did with Roy?
Either way, though, BitF'll be missed, but it seems like the guy behind it's moving to bigger and better things. I'm gonna miss having him do 2 comics a week, but now he can move onto game design/composition, so he's living his dream now!

You did.
If Neorice makes a version of his Peach or Fire Peach sprites with this colour scheme, I'd be all over it

Yooooo! Wario seems to have the fun stages. Really liked the one from Brawl and now this one.
Fair enough...fair enough. So I guess ffdgh is copying you. What a tool.

Just throwing this out there; I'm a huge fan of the Pikmin games. I've played all three to completion (several times), I have three stuffed Pikmin and a stuffed Bulborb sitting on a shelf in my home, and I even named my GAF username after the protagonist of the series, even if it isn't obvious. I know my way around Pikmin.
There's nothing to indicate any kind of cataclysmic event in the Pikmin games, there's just a whole bunch of garbage everywhere. This isn't exactly uncommon - take a look at the side of highways, and you'll see all sorts of trash lying there.
That being said, I realize that my interpretation is also a "fan theory" and is just as valid as the "human annihilation" idea - I just don't like it when people throw around their own fan theories as facts. It's like saying Majora's Mask Link is confirmed dead because of that one fan theory that says the whole game is him dealing with his own death. I don't buy it, but it's fine if you do - just don't act as if that idea is canon.
PNF-404 is pretty obviously Earth - Pikmin 2 used the current continental layout in its cutscenes, and Pikmin 3 retconned that to the hypothetical continental layout 250 million years in the future. Humans aren't around any more, but that doesn't equate to an apocalyptic event in the past.
We have ruins of ancient civilizations all over the world - does that mean we live in a post-apocalyptic Earth right now?

In a game where space travel is possible by both alien civilizations and plant-animal hybrid mother ships, I see no reason why humans couldn't have simply left the planet and migrated somewhere else. That's my thinking, and it certainly fits the atmosphere of the games.

Speaking of Smash, here is a quiz to determine which character you are: http://www.dorkly.com/post/69013/quiz-which-nintendo-character-are-you
I got Mario
I got Mario
You think you're the center of the universe - but judge yourself honestly: you're out of shape, you're far past your prime, and no one respects you. People think they can take things away from you with no consequences, others are challenging you constantly, and the truth is that you're about as middle-of-the-road as they come. You're nothing special, and you're the least interesting one in any group. ... pretty accurate -_-

I prefer to think Pikmin takes place in the present because finding Game & Watches and Duracells in good condition out in the wild thousand of years after the fall of man just seems implausible to me.

I'm guessing it's a joke quiz. I got the same thing.

You are a slave to others - bosses, significant others, friends, relatives, and obligations. You have never been your own person, and you will never be. The best you can hope for is the brief pleasure of sleep, when nothing is asked of you, until that inevitable moment when you're awakened - and the real nightmare begins.
I got Link....

It is like the opposite of good things about the characters. I like it very much.
Also I agree it is way too easy to get Mario, I want to learn Link's description.

Yeah it's not a real which character are you in terms of actual smash.
Olimar, Yoshi, and Link are on there to.

I couldn't help myself...That design was just too good.
Is it too good to see Peach in Jail? Yep, Yeah.

She deserves it after playing all the Mario Party games.

"Just because you try hard doesn't mean you'll make it into the battle."
I can't remember them being in the game at all, so I was surprised to see them in the credits. Why were they there?
If we're going for accuracy, Pikmin is all kinds of wrong.
The continental layout of Pikmin 3 is a hypothetical layout 250 million years from now, but electric fences, circuits, and lightbulbs all function in perfect condition.
Animal life seems to have radically changed, but plants and fruits seem like they stayed the same.
It seems that almost every animal is a predator, and yet the only prey they seem to eat are Pikmin. However, in Pikmin and Pikmin 3, the Pikmin are shown to be on the verge of extinction, while Bulborbs worldwide are thriving.
In Pikmin 2's Piklopedia (while much appreciated for the effort) messes up taxonomy on a few occasions, including the Empress Bublax giving birth to an entirely different species.
I've dealt with inaccuracy before so it doesn't really bother me, and I like that they try to go for a natural world with Pikmin. Little details like Pikmin 2 giving all the creatures scientific names is really fun for a biology nut like me. I wish more games would do that.
Personally, I find it hard to get immersed in games when the world feels constructed. For example, I find Beach Bowl Galaxy very memorable, and it seems like a place that would be nice to visit. Meanwhile, World 3-3 of Super Mario 3D Land feels like something Bowser made to mess with Mario, and nothing more. I can't really remember any level from that game, and yet I really liked it when I first played it. Weird...

Bowser's Castle?
Just a heads up. Not all Hyrule Warriros DLC is on disc. The DLC they announced recently (the four packs) comes to over 1GB so there's no way that's on disc. The pre-order costumes are though, I'll give you that.i dont want to buy a game where half of the content is locked behind a paywall.
nintendo is starting doing this shit, iam so sad about it, and i think they will never ever release a "goty"-edition with all the content on the disc.
i realized, that hyrule warriors has all the DLC already on the disc, only a key, which is 2mb big is getting downloaded when you pay 16euros... i suppose nintendo could do this scam again with smash locking all the content behind this-.-
i just want to enjoy these two games as much as possible but not this way

Sure.
Here is an evidence that Peach is in the jail before they threw a prison suit/dress at her.

They make a brief appearance (alongside Sal-Out) in the intro.

Just like her boyfriend Mario.Sure.

I think Mario and Tingle are the only major Nintendo protagonists to actually go to jail - can anyone think of other examples?
I've tried that poll a few times. I don't think they assigned the characters depending on your anwsers correctly (Mario seems to be the default option), but I do like the paragraph they give for each character.
Does Link in Twilight Princess count?

I feel like Mario should commit to one woman. The Peach, Pauline, Roselina triangle must stop!
Link goes to jail in OoT. He uses the hookshot to escape because they decided to put wood outside the window.
Your result

You have no voice in the world - you never did, but are only now realizing it. Your opinions and desires mean nothing against the crushing weight of the meaningless reality you exist in. Others demand you listen to them, but no one will listen to you.

If I'm counting Mario as being a criminal because of his brief jail time in a corrupt tropical dictatorship, I'll count Link as well.
Tingle seems to have actually deserved it.
I tried to pick the ones that would lead to Olimar. Here's the result:
Sure.

I have. It's a bunch of blocks stacked up from the void below in a rectangular formation (meaning it's one of the FDs without an underside).
