#GameXplain

[multicolour-ink]

GameXplain reached out to Nintendo and they have confirmed that Mario and Luigi have new voice actors (note actors plural) in Super Mario Bros Wonder.

However they are not revealing them and instead we have to wait until the end credits.

This GameXplain thumbnail is so fucking funny it makes me wanna recreate it as meme art

[Image ID: Vivian from Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door holding a microphone proudly presenting a Toad who's arms are tied to the floor by rope, the Toad is making an exaggerated sad face (their eyes are massive and their frown extends to their torso). There is a hydraulic press directly above the Toad. Vivian says "WILL THIS TOAD LIVE!?" :END ID]

i think a depressing truth of the internet ill always hate is that negativity is what leads to success

negativity, in forms of content creation, leads to comments of people arguing or saying "but i like that thing". comments lead to the algorithms of social media boosting said piece of comic. algorithm favoring your stuff leads to more views. views get you money

often times, i think most youtubers and tiktokers and people on twitter and whatnot actually force themselves to be negative out of necessity. because its the quickest and easiest way to get a post out there. and its really become a norm in social media thats made the internet suffocatingly bad lately

like.. take pokemon for example, youtubers and tiktokers and twitter users such talking about pokemon will complain to no end about graphics, taking the worst possible screenshots they can get or setting up elaborate glitches so they can take a picture, put it next to another game with the prettiest picture they can get, and then go "WOW CAN U BELIEVE GAMEFREAK MAKES STUFF LIKE THIS" which then starts arguments and spreads like a wildfire because people are pointing out "wow you really took the worst picture you could huh" but then random people desperate to argue go "UHHH GAMEFREAKS NOT GONNA MARRY U DUDE LOL" blah blah blah

or take some specific youtubers for instance, like videogamedunkey is a critic who usually lies about video games he dislikes, makes up stuff or complains about really little stuff, or tries to get glitches to happen to pretend the whole games like that. a reallyyy scummy youtuber but thats literally what he has to do to make money and that sucks! or like... alpharad whos kind of just an obnoxious jerk all the time and thats how he gets his attention because being a jerk gets you comments and comments get you views etc etc

the youtube channel gamexplain got exposed for not paying employees and fell off HARD.. but they made a full recovery and comeback. they used to post informative nintendo and other games news, but lately theyve just been posting negative memes or complaining about really little things or posting negative news with a clickbait title. like.. nintendos doing some reconstruction at their headquarters. so gamexplain posts this

its... just reconstruction. but the big letters, the sad mario, it looks Worrying and causes clicks and comments. its literally just reconstruction. but oh wow with a thumbnail like this they can fearmonger and milk it

it stinks too because generally positive youtubers are... Rare. most positive youtubers fall really hard and barely get any views compared to the big bad youtubers out there, cause theres not a ton to comment on without negativity. and thats so.. sad. (bumping a youtuber i love a lot here; nekolacey is a really great and positive pokemon youtuber and i love her videos!!! but her videos dont really get a lot of views compared to other channels which i find so sad. shes awesome!!)

i think the only generally positive gaming youtuber i know of who actually had a big following was chuggaaconroy, and he was making videos on youtube for MANY MANYYY years to even just get 1 million subscribers.

and then he got cancelled because of... uh... a chatlog from 2009. and... uh...... some out of context discord messages from some youtuber whos been known to falsely accuse autistic people to get allegations on them. and.... apparently some randos named antdude and missfushigaming made up allegations to get some clout but they got proved false... uhh... and also chuggaaconroy went to therapy, apologized a ton, asked everyone to please not harass the accusers, and has been deeply working for years to work on himself because he did have a geniune falling out with masaeanela over him not following set boundaries.

but.... yeahhhh its. uh. when you point out "wow did anything bad happen beyond a falling out with masaeanela" you're kind of just quickly hushed by a bunch of random people and to accept it and quit. they can't afford for that positivity to change the way things are, they need negativity to thrive.

its.. the internet trying its hardest to push down one positive creator who made it so they can hype up a dozen negative ones.

i think the internet has always awarded negativity but it was never really bad. like.. many youtubers back in the day would make top 10s, listing something like "zelda bosses" or "gen 4 pokemon". these were great because they got to gush about something they like, BUT they'd get comments and arguments because of things like "well i would've put ths boss over that boss" or "why isnt crobat on this list!". it worked great because they got clout from comments, but they weren't being actively negative

or, talking about an internet show i LOVE, death battle! this is a fun show where they take two fictional characters and make them fight! and they research to see who wins and have really great animation!

it thrived because not only is it super good, but it causes arguments. most viewers dont care about the real reasoning and numbers, they just want their prefered character to win. so if there preference loses, even if its right, they will get mad and argue, causing comments which cause views which causes success.

unfortunately, the positive ways to get comments just... hardly last. its sad but in the modern internet, being mad and angry is literally how you succeed. its near impossible to make it online if you arent angry or doing stuff to upset people.

it sucks. so much.

and it sucks even more because people trying to make a living on the internet Have to be negative. thats how they make a living. they literally have to complain to make money and survive and it sucks!! so much!!!!!!!!!

i think overall success on the internet always depended on causing arguments and negativity, but its really become suffocating in recent time. everyone tries so hard to be mad they've geniunely become mad. positivity is rare and out of style, negativity is what everyone wants. its.... so....... miserable honestly

This video makes me sad for a number of reasons.

1. The transphobes come out in full force in the comments section

2. The video itself is sloppy and doesn't do nearly enough to paint the full picture of Nintendo's history with queer and trans representation. There's a lot of characters left off the video.

Most notably, Birdo, who was Nintendo's first (and most problematic) trans woman, who wasn't even so much as properly gendered in her original appearance. A few other noteworthy mentions are Juniper (Xenoblade 3) and Roc (Xenoblade 2), who are both nonbinary, and Tony (Earthbound/Mother 2), who is gay and has a crush on Jeff, a major party member of the game. And don't even get me started of the Magypsies from Mother 3.

Guess what I'm trying to say is that Nintendo has had a long and storied history of queer representation both good and bad. There was a real opportunity to do a huge video essay on the topic had GameXplain decided it was worth the effort. Needless to say, I'm saddened that they didn't think it was worth the effort.

Get ready for tomorrow’s Direct, everyone. Just dropping this news update while I’m still continue our G-pal’s art trade request. At least I can get this done before checking out what’s new for Nintendo will brings us for this year. I know about if Tears of The Kingdom, Pikmin 4, and Advance Wars is coming; especially for those can get shadow dropped sooner or later. Can’t say they’ll be planning for the coming E3 event this year, though. (And Sony and Xbox, too.)

Was trying to convince myself that gamexplain isn't trash now but they don't even wait 24 hours to post self-contradicting clickbait:

So I guess it finally is time to unsubscribe huh

Last week during the latest Direct broadcast, Nintendo locked in a release window for Luigi's Mansion 2 HD with the game due to arrive on the Switch in Summer 2024.

Now, a week on, the YouTube channel GameXplain has released a new comparison video, showing the new version running alongside the original 2013 3DS release, also known as Dark Moon. As you can see, the Switch version certainly lives up to 'HD' title with a nice resolution boost visually enhancing the look.

Not many other details have been revealed about this game, but again it will be the same game originally released for the 3DS. It will also support multiplayer in the game's ScareScraper mode.

TTYD fans would HATE the original Super Mario Bros

“Smh all the NPCs are generic Toads that only appear at the end of castles, plus they tell me information that I already know, which is that the princess is in another castle, plus the plot is the basic ‘Bowser kidnaps Peach’ bit”

“Where’s the lore?? I can’t enjoy my videogame without 50 blocks of dialogue telling me barely-gameplay-relevant lore about what the bad guy did and how they got so powerful?? No the manual is not enough I need a weird NPC to spoonfeed me the information??”

“The only redeeming quality is that choosing this weird option on the title screen called 2 Player Game causes Luigi to show up after Mario dies, and just like in TTYD he does absolutely nothing except stand around! But I’ve heard that if you get a friend to plug in a second controller they can actually move Luigi around, which sounds fake because I, a TTYD fan, have zero real life friends,”

“Where BP and badges, I can’t play without constantly increasing BP and making my playthrough hell in the long run”

“Getting real Super Paper Mario vibes from this game……”

ok fuck i'm not done talking about this yet. i grew up with diamond and pearl and i've been a pokemon fan my entire life, but xy was where i really properly entered the fandom. like god. i rewatched that gamexplain xy trailer analysis video so many times. i snuck into the computer shack at boy scout camp because i heard a new pokemon (honedge) was revealed and i needed to check serebii right now. i was in the trenches fighting about what type sylveon was. remember when someone saw trevenant for the first time at some preview event, but couldn't share any images so all we had to go off of was their drawing of it? kalos brings me back to such a happy time in my life as a pokemon fan, and i've really been feeling the pangs lately to get my 3ds fixed so i can revisit it. getting an entirely brand new kalos sequel on the switch??? we're not gonna be getting any more trailers any time soon, but i'm gonna be able to ride this high for a while.
