I have never thought of Wikipedia as a news source. What kind of news doesn't allow primary sources?
I also don't believe that their nature is unbiased, especially if you're talking about their coverage of current events.

If the game is a Zelda game and the game is good, it's a good Zelda game. Stop trying to create some arbitrary distinction over what you think a Zelda game is supposed to be.
Lol, no. It’s not arbitrary, as it’s a number qualities of the series and Breath of the Wild itself that make the distinction for me. There are reasons that I personally play Zelda games, certain itches that the game doesn’t scratch. The distinction is that while it was an enjoyable experience, it did not satisfy me in the way that I had hoped based on my experience with every prior Zelda game. You could argue calling it Zelda is what is arbitrary, since you make no distinctions.
But hey, if there is no distinction for you, super. I’m happy for you.
So what r they fam

While I love Kirby, there are two sins his games have been committing since basically the beginning, and I really wish they would stop:
- Randomly throwing shitty shmup sections into a 2D platformer
- Jerking off to nostalgia
Geno for Smash has to be the dumbest Smash-related thing I've ever heard. Literally why should I find it exciting that some random nobody puppet that was in a single Mario game 24 years ago gets a much-coveted spot in one of the biggest game series of all time.
Bandana Waddle Dee is on thin ice too but at least Waddle Dees have actual establishment in the Kirby franchise.

Timed hits / action commands / whatever you want to call them could give him some cool moves. I want either Geno or Paper Mario to show up at some point solely for that reason.
Also Geno is just cool as fuck. He's a star spirit sent from the heavens who possessed a badass-looking wooden puppet that can shoot lasers and rocket fists. Mario RPG also holds a prominent spot in the hearts of a lot of people who've played it, from what I can gather. I'm pretty sure those are the reasons most people want him.
How funny would it be if they added Mallow instead?
I like Disney's live-action remakes. I see them as experiencing my favorite childhood movies with modern technology and today's actors, which are more familiar to me. The only Disney live-action remake that I disliked is Maleficent and its sequel because they changed the story too much and made a supposedly hated villain into a hero. Lion King is ass too for cutting Scar's song short and the animals lacking in emotions.
It's weird that the Disney live-action remakes get a lot of hate online but still get incredibly great box office numbers anyway (usually top 10 of the year). Tells you that the people who complain on the internet represent just a vocal minority, not the majority.
EDIT:
P.S. I still prefer the originals, it's just that I still welcome watching the live-action remakes and I don't think they deserve the hate.

This isn’t a hot take. Absolutely nobody who actually knows what they’re talking about disagrees.
DLC for Pokemon was a better idea on paper than in practice.
cant tell if this is a shitpost
cgi exists yeah but thats not super duper amazing, plus loses potency/emotion of 2d animation
actors are just starpower
a good thing
(on its own idk how it worked out)
big name big money
nostalgia
people who are casual won't care too much about technical/creative problem
the base movies pretty good so a remake will still be pretty good when isolated (and thus towards most people) but it ain't good
they are also just cash grabs / copyright renewals at heart
yeah but what is the improvement of modern tech / todays actors
cgi exists yeah but thats not super duper amazing, plus loses potency/emotion of 2d animation
actors are just starpower
isnt that
a good thing

awesome gaming
Mars Needs Moms and The Good Dinosaur would like to have a word with you
(also the movie itself is a big name)

Semi-related take: Illumination and their cheap lowbrow schlock movies haven't even done a fraction of a percent of the damage ecchi/slice of life anime has done to the reputation and prestige of animation as a medium
Steve in Smash was a mistake
From a character perspective or a fighter perspective?
From a character perspective, absolutely not. Minecraft is literally the single best selling video game of all time, and had a huge impact on gaming culture (see all the games after it with mechanics literally called "crafting", with the most recent example of Animal Crossing New Horizons also prominently featuring terrain manipulation). A pantheon of gaming icons without Steve is an incomplete pantheon.
From a fighter perspective, yeah probably. Placing blocks everywhere has the potential to be super obnoxious. But that's what makes it fun.
Fighter perspective.
yeah....... i get that. I hate how so many of the dlc fighters have these weirdo fringe gimmicks. I havent bothered to even pick up hero or terry bc I dont want to have to look up a prima strategy guide to learn what these meters and menus are
Yeah I honestly agree, it will probably be well maybe a bit too OP? I mean by the looks of it, there's also endermen and zombies. I mean wtf, this guy is a bit overpowered
