Controversial Opinion - You're Not Looking for Readers, You're Looking for Friends
I keep seeing a lot of the same kind of posts coming up, people crashing out because they have a low reader count or because no one is responding to them in the vast ocean of fics. I do get it, even if I've been really lucky to writer in large fandoms, I've also had a lot of fics that just get no traction whatsoever despite me being really proud of the efforts. It's oftentimes a luck of the draw as much as skill and fandom, and posting a niche fanfic topic in the middle of a dozen popular pieces updating at the same time is as harsh as posting in a dead fandom that gets two readers and an AI spam bot once a week. That being said, I think there's a lot of people who are looking less for readers and more for fellow fans to talk to at all. Fandom circles are fragmented, with a lot of traditional fanbases spread out between tumblr circles, subreddits, bluskies, discords, and a myriad of other places. Trying to find like-minded fans is a huge pain in the ass between access and shuffling through a dozen algorithmic semi-anonymous sources that make following specific people difficult. Adding to that, places like Tiktok and X have additional subsections of fandom that are just mean and can be incredibly judgemental about the dumbest shit. The easiest place you can find the fans who are looking for your exact preferences and interests in fandom tends to be Archive of Our Own. Unfortunately, due to the archival nature of said place, there's not message boards or a one-on-one comment exchange. Instead, you have fanfics and hoping someone will respond to your fanfic with the hopes that you can find someone who's both safe and fun to talk about, thanks to them co-signing to the idea that Blorbo McGee would be a powerbottom and a mafia boss in the same universe. Unfortunately, this also means you're at the whims of comments and other fans for finding your people. And getting nothing or getting only bots designed to make you hate yourself and quit makes it suck hard trying to keep going. The advice 'just write for yourself' doesn't help, since you're writing for yourself but you're also writing to find people who want to hang out. It's not just about the story anymore, it's about putting an open letter to community and hoping that the respondents are kind creatives, and it feels like an insult when no one answers the call. I wish I had more to offer on what to do about this. I know tumblr started up communities recently, and there are subreddits for bigger fandoms but some of those subs can be really judgemental. At the same time, not reaching out to other fans in any way besides throwing a book into the void with a note saying PLEASE TALK TO ME, I'M LONELY doesn't help at all. I guess the only thought I can think of is try to reach out in your fandom not just through Ao3. Look up the tumblrs and usernames of the writers you like, contact them not just because of their fanfic but because you want to talk to them. The hobby is easier when it's not the only onus to make a fandom friend. submitted by /u/lumpyspacejams to r/FanFiction [link] [comments]

How’s Dipshit McGee going to do “50/50” custody without a house to live in…?
It just so happens that Stephen Dean Hilton’s little announcement about his (wildly implausible) new custody arrangement coincides with my finally getting the document that my LA County Public Records search turned up (using his address and searchable Property ID #) - showing that poor Steve has, in fact, defaulted on his mortgage. No Notice of Trustee Sale yet (which means the bank has actually seized the property and started the foreclosure sale process), but based on my research that should be coming soon, and he’s probably failed to take advantage of any mitigation/hardship options to get back in good standing/keep the house. The amount he must owe, including fees and penalties, is probably STAGGERING. Given that he is ALSO over $19,000 behind on his property taxes (missed BOTH annual installments, and will going into formal default on that as well, starting June 30th), I think it’s safe to say that Looooora either doesn’t know (unlikely), has chosen not to bail him out (unlikely given her nauseating penchant to enable and help him in any way possible), or simply cannot afford to (most likely, IMO). So, Sleazo can make up whatever nonsense he wants about custody - we know the truth, snarkers. Dude’s about to be homeless, he’s lost Moldy Mansion due to his own utter incompetence, and “50/50” ain’t gonna do him much good without a HOME to custody in…🤣🤣🤣☠️ submitted by /u/Express-Arachnid-782 to r/StephenHiltonSnark [link] [comments]

What was McGee even thinking when he made the names of his fictional characters similar to his real life co-workers and his own boss?! As well as characterizing them in very weird and questionable ways?!
McGee basing his characters in his novel off of the people he knows in real life is ok and what not. But making their names sound similar to the ones McGee knows in real life? For a Federal Agent with Big Brains, that's so dumb personified! Tommy (Tony)? Lisa (Ziva)? L.J. Tibbs (Leroy Jethro Gibbs)? Amy Sutton (Abby Sciuto)? And Pimmy Jalmer (Jimmy Palmer)? In the words of Catra (Icon and total Baddie) from the "Once Upon a Time in the Waste" episode from the 3rd season from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power; "Pfffff!" "Hahhahahahaha!" "It sounds even stupidier the second time!" Also, a freshman in high school can come up with better fictional names in a fanfic story than McGee ever can. Maybe that's not weird, but what's weird is the way McGee's characters are characterized. Most noticeably Pimmy Jalmer, who in McGee's novel, had inappropriate relations with a corpse. Like, WTF?!

McGee & Co Quality Concerns AND on Ali Baba?
UPDATE: They refunded me. __________________________ I need some help rationalizing this! I bought these fringe Astrid stools from Mcgee & Co in August. I love them, but the quality is not great at all. We have had company come and sit on them as they are extra stools for when company visits. The tiniest drops are impossible to brush off (it removes the velvet) or blot (it looks messed up). I contacted McGee & Co to ask what they can do about this, since I'm shocked that I paid $1250!!! for these. I reverse google image searched them, and to my shock, these are the EXACT SAME STOOLS on Ali Baba - even though the McGee & Co website says that they are exclusive to them. Am I missing something? https://preview.redd.it/5xq9j83mpm8g1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=2923591d03a3ecf811dff46fd88cd4261eeeb680 https://preview.redd.it/67reqw1npm8g1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd0b9087f9d3b36f26571b42a1386bf4c21bb890 submitted by /u/worthy_of_more_ to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

The Biggest Mistake in the History of the National Football League
We've all had times where our favorite teams made bad decisions that can still be felt by the organization to this day. Maybe you decided to let your star player walk and watch him win a super bowl with a division rival, maybe you decided to draft somebody with red flags all over the place and he becomes one of the biggest busts in football history, or maybe you decide to pay a rapist an insane amount of money to play quarterback. But I can assure you, there will never be another decision as self-destructing as the one I am about to tell you. It's the offseason so gather around children and let this old man tell you all a story. Its a story of friendship, betrayal and punishment. And it is still being felt by both franchises involved to this very day. --- Paul Brown, our protagonist and villain. One of the most important figures in all of football. I won't go too in depth about him because there's already enough places you can learn about him, but the dude was more or less the guy who made the nfl what it is now. He turned football into the chess game we have today. He was the co founder of the Browns and their head coach for 16 years (they also named the team after him). He won three championships with the Browns from 1950 to 1955, and remained their HC and GM up until they fired him after the 1962 season. A couple years later he joined the AFL and founded his own team, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Yeah... only a four hour drive from Cleveland. This team is of course, the Bengals. And, because this is Paul Brown we're talking about and he's very petty as you'll come to learn, their original costumes were the exact same goddamn thing as the Browns. Yeah even at the time people thought this was an ego decision of a man who wanted to stick it to the team that fired him. And thus the Bengals were founded from pure spite and ego. You might reasonably think the Bengals were just trash in their first few years but, no! The Bengals were actually pretty good in their first few years as a franchise. While they weren't quite in a spot yet where they could compete for a lombardi, they were able to make the playoffs roughly every other year. Which is pretty good considering some new teams like the Browns (post expansion) went 18 years without a playoff appearance. And while the talent was definitely there, it was the coaching that made it all click. With the duo of Paul Brown and assistant coach, Bill Walsh. I say assistant coach because the Bengals didn't have an OC, but in reality it was Walsh. --- Bill Walsh was the apprentice learning from the master. And even as early as the 1973, Bill Walsh had all the capabilities of a head coach, he had it all! He was a leader, he was an offensive genius, and all the players loved him. And all signs were pointing to Paul Brown, who by 1975 was 67 years old, stepping down and letting Bill Walsh take over head coaching duties. And he did, after a lifetime of football coaching, Paul Brown retired as a Head Coach and moved up to the front office. And with that, Bill Walsh, got the head coa- Nope No he didn't The position was instead given to (checks notes) Bill Johnson, the offensive line coach. Ok... so what the fuck happened here?! This decision absolutely baffled everyone on the Bengals staff. There was no reason not to give Walsh the job, he had been with the team since the very beginning and was Paul Browns apprentice, his right hand! Paul Brown decided to pass up on the man he had been raising for years. And unfortunately this part of the story gets pretty murky, because neither men are with us anymore to explain. But that doesn't stop the theories. Like I said from the start, Paul Brown is an egotistic man. And he deliberately sabotaged other teams from trying to recruit Bill Walsh as their head coach like the Packers and Rams. Ego is the only answer for this. Paul Brown 100% knew that Bill Walsh was the right man for the job and he chose to ignore him, because he didn't want Walsh to surpass him. He wanted Walsh to stay as the offensive coordinator and let Brown rake in all the glory. Needless to say Bill Walsh was both heartbroken and extremely livid. He left the Bengals almost immediately after this decision was made, despite all the players and staff begging him to stay. And in his heart, he swore revenge on the man who build him up only to deny him, his destiny. --- So years go by, and the Bengals would fail to make the playoffs for 5 straight seasons. But along the way they were acquiring pieces that would prove vital. Because for as much shit as one can give Paul Brown, he was a damn good general manager. Let me run a few names by you, the Bengals had on O line, Anthony Munoz, the greatest Bengals player of all time, and Max Montoya, a four time pro bowler. In their receiving corp, they had Isaac Curtis (4x pro bowl) and Cris Colinsworth (yes that Cris Colinsworth he used to play football). And they had a very underrated defense, including cornerback Ken Riley who is in the hall of fame and at the time of his retirement was 4th in all time interceptions. But the real key to this team was its quarterback Ken Anderson, who in 1981 was the league MVP. He completed 300 of 479 passes (62.6%) for 3,754 yards, 29 touchdowns and ten interceptions. He was also an outstanding scrambler, rushing for 320 yards and one touchdown, leading all NFL quarterbacks in rushing yards. So with a record of 12-4, the Bengals narrowly beat the Bills in the divisional round and proceeded to crush the Chargers in the Freezer Bowl. And just like that the Bengals had made the Super Bowl for the first time in their franchise history. And who was the team they had to play? The San Francisco 49ers. And to Paul Brown's horror, the prodigal son had returned As much as he tried to stop him before he bloomed, the apprentice had surpassed the master. Bill Walsh was back, and he was going to make Paul Brown pay for his crimes. In the time that Paul Brown had been building the Bengals, Bill Walsh had been doing the same with a team in San Francisco. Walsh got the job in 1979 as both the Head Coach and General Manager. And in his first ever draft he made a decision that would change football forever, when in the third round he drafted a young quarterback from Notre Dame named Joseph Clifford Montana Jr. And in just his third year as a head coach he had won the franchises first conference championship game against the Dallas Cowboys, ending with Dwight Clark's iconic Catch. The 49ers got out to a 20-0 lead by halftime, after the Bengals had turned the ball over a total of three times. And while the Bengals attempted to rally back in the second half, the niners defense was just too good and got a critical third quarter stop that ultimately decided the game. And thus Bill Walsh was hoisted in the air as a Super Bowl Champion, and Paul Brown watched the man he raised win a lombardi over the team that he left behind. This Bengals core didn't last much longer. A lot of their guys, including Ken Anderson would regress over the next few years and they wouldn't win another playoff game until 1988, hell they'd fail to have another winning season until said year. But again, Paul Brown knows how to get talent. Once again, the Bengals casually were able to get an MVP caliber QB with Boomer Esaison, who of course won the MVP in 1988. But their receiving core was pretty good. They still had Colinsworth, and had great players like Eddie Brown, Tim McGee and Rodney Holman. And yes they still had a superb o lin led by Munoz and Montoya. And the Defensive line was fantastic with Tim Krumrie, Jason Buck, David Grant and Jim Skow. With the secondary team still being led by Reggie Williams and involving newer guys like Eric Thomas and David Fulcher. But something thats forgotten about this Bengals team is that they were the true creators of the no huddle offense. Yeah, not the Bills. Funny story about that, the Bengals ran this system all year and when they played the Bills in the AFCCG, the Bills Head Coach Marv Levy hated it so much that he petitioned the NFL to ban it. Which they did. Of course the Bills ended up losing that game 21-10 so... nice job there Marv. And just like that, the Bengals made it back to the Super Bowl! And who was waiting for them on the other side of that tunnel? ... It just sucks man it really does, no matter what Paul Brown did he just could not escape the mistakes of his past. Because Bill Walsh and the 49ers were back again to challenge Cincinnati. The Niners had manhandled the Vikings and the Bears on their way to the Super Bowl and were now loaded with a prime Jerry Rice to pair up with their franchise quarterback. The game was a tense defensive struggle for both teams. Boomer and Montana were having so much trouble moving the ball down field. By halftime the score was tied at 3-3. So I need to stress this, this game was so much more winnable than the last super bowl. Because at the end of the third quarter with the game at 6-6, the Bengals got a kick off returned for a touchdown to put them ahead 13-6. And on the ensuing niners drive, with a play that could have changed Bengals history, Lewis Billups DROPPED AN INTERCEPTION OFF OF MONTANA. That one play, that one single play could have iced the game. Becuase on the very next play, Montana made them pay and hit Rice for a touchdown to tie the game. But Boomer Esaison would not go down without a fight and marched down the field once more, but unfortunately he couldn't go further and would have to settle for a field goal. So at this point its do or die for the niners, with three minutes and 20 seconds on the clock, all eyes turned to Joe Montana to win this game. And well... thats what he did. One of the most iconic drives in the history of football took place as Joe Montana took his team down the field and won the game. Bill Walsh would retire from coaching after this game, and would watch from afar as the dynasty he created would win two more lombardis in the next couple years. And unlike his master, he would make the correct choice for his successor as George Seifert, the man who had been with him for almost a decade would be promoted to Head Coach. Three years later Paul Brown would retire from football and pass away shortly after. Hope you enjoyed ;) submitted by /u/Either_Imagination_9 to r/nfl [link] [comments]

The Nintendo Breakdown 3: An updated overview of confirmed, leaked, and rumored projects from Nintendo and its close partners
Hi, back again with another one of these. Some people had been asking about an update from the version I put up six months ago, and I figured the end-of-year lull would be a good time for that. If nothing else, it's a break from seeing the same Switch 2 render, right? So let's get into it. Nintendo Entertainment Planning and Development (EPD): What most people mean when talking about Nintendo making something “in-house”. EPD is made up of multiple producer/director-led groups with different focuses that can draw from a shared developer "pool" as needed (meaning artists, programmers, etc can wind up bouncing from one group to the next). They can broadly be categorized as either “development-focused groups” (those that are more “in the trenches” so to speak in terms of development) and “planning-focused groups” (which are more “hands-off”, but provide oversight and creative input on projects that are handled by other studios, such as Nintendo’s other subsidiaries or its 3rd party partners) Development-focused groups EPD 3: The Zelda team; with Tears of the Kingdom DLC stated to be off the table, they are presumed to have moved onto the next major Zelda title Most recently co-developed Echoes of Wisdom with Grezzo Nate the Hate and Eurogamer both reported that a build of Breath of the Wild running on Switch 2-comparable hardware was shown behind closed doors at Gamescom 2023 running at 4K60fps with “erased” load times; however, these reports also stressed that this was intended as a tech demo first and isn’t necessarily indicative of a next-gen update or remaster being in the works Jeff Grubb, Nate the Hate, Imran Khan, and Andy Robinson have all previously claimed or alluded to the WiiU versions of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess coming to Switch (often speculated/reported as being a double-pack); nobody's gotten the timing right on this, but these are often suggested to be finished ports that Nintendo is sitting on for one reason or another. Nate the Hate: "They exist but knowing when they'll come out is a different matter. It's why they are often used in speculation as a schedule filler" Grubb: "I've always heard they're ready, they're sitting there, we're just waiting for Nintendo to pull the trigger. When they will, why they will, who knows?" listing for Wind Waker HD spotted on russian game store Aonuma, asked about an Ocarina remake by Game Informer: “[Laughs] No comment!" (linking to ResetEra because Gamestop killed Game Informer and took down all the articles) EPD 4: "Experiment" team behind Labo, Ring Fit Adventure, Switch Sports, etc. Most recent full-release was Everybody 1-2 Switch, co-developed with NDcube) Basketball was added to Switch Sports in July 2024; new basketball-specific credits include developers from Eighting datamining seems to indicate the Nintendo Switch Online Playtest game was an EPD 4 project EPD 5: Animal Crossing and Splatoon. Most recently released Side Order, Splatoon 3's roguelike DLC, in February 2024 Should note that while the two series typically share a producer, there’s historically been little to no overlap in directors and about the same overlap in the rest of the staff as found in any other 2 EPD-developed titles, so it’s not impossible for both Animal Crossing and Splatoon games to be in active development at once After September’s Grand Festival in-game event, the official Splatoon twitter account detailed future plans for the game. Essentially, new content is done but Big Runs and seasonal Splatfests will rerun at least for the next year, old catalogs will keep looping, and balance patches will continue for an undisclosed period of time Possible evidence of third kits found in Novemebr's 9.2.0 update’s code The outcome of the Grand Festival (Team Past winning over Teams Present and Future) is expected to have some impact on the next Splatoon game, as the results of Splatoon 1 and 2’s final major splatfests were both reflected in aspects of their sequels Nash Weedle claiming to have details on next Animal Crossing Via Google Translate: “The next Animal Crossing is in development and will be an “Ultimate” version Game concepts: -Move by controlling vehicles -Big city with skyscrapers -Adventure missions, puzzles and minigames -More collaborative multiplayer -Date: 2026 along with a series” EPD 7: 2D Metroid games (with MercurySteam), recent Famicom Detective Club games (with MAGES) Emio-The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club released in August 2024 In both Nintendo’s Ask the Developer interview and a later interview with Famitsu, series creator/director/writer Yoshio Sakamoto indicated that he is interested in continuing the series further, and also that he feels Kaori Miyachi (EPD, assistant producer/co-director/co-writer on Emio) could become his successor in the future when it comes to the FDC series MercurySteam rumored to be working on a 2D Metroid game targeting 2025 in addition to their confirmed “Project Iron” (a 3rd person action-RPG in partnership with 505 Games); MercurySteam put out 2 games in 2017 (Samus Returns and Spacelords) and 2021 (Metroid Dread and American McGee Presents: Scrapland Remastered), so it’s very possible for them to have two projects in development at once EPD 8: Also known as EPD Tokyo (all other EPD groups are based in Kyoto), this is the 3D Mario team (as well as the DK Jungle Beat and Captain toad team) 2020 hiring call for a “level designer for new 2D action game (working in Tokyo)” 2020 job listing for a "level designer for new 3D action game” in Tokyo Rumors of an EPD 8 Donkey Kong game LonelyGoomba “I heard an unlikely rumour that the Mario Odyssey team are working on a 3D Donkey Kong game.” Nintendo Life: “Nintendo Life can confirm that it has heard the same rumour [as LonelyGoomba] from an independent (and very trusted) source, which would appear to lend this report some degree of legitimacy. However, our source claims that the game will be 2D (or 2.5D, if you prefer) and not 3D. DK Vine: A DK game had been in development at an external studio before Nintendo decided to bring the series in-house; “I've been led to believe that this is a new EPD team that has formed from other teams specifically for the purpose of creating Donkey Kong games.” Liam Robertson: Full documentary about Vicarious Visions’ DK project (and other things, including even more reasons to hate Bobby Kotick) on DidYouKnowGaming: Refutes the notion that Miyamoto was heavily contributing design ideas. A DK game codenamed “Freedom” was a demo made by VV and pitched to Nintendo, worked on for “a little over 6 months starting from the end development on Skylanders Superchargers in September 2015”; “A throughline between the conversations I had with former workers was that they had all heard that Nintendo had given them some positive feedback on their demo”. Ultimately killed by Activision higher-ups, who thought VV’s resources were better spent on franchises such as Call of Duty and Destiny, in spring 2016 on the subject of Vicarious Visions’ project potentially being moved to EPD: “It was an unsolicited pitch from VV that was never picked up. Zero proof that it was continued elsewhere. If Nintendo is doing DK, it’s something else.”; [“Nintendo] hadn’t made a decision either way on funding it when it was shut down.” EPD 9: Mario Kart, Arms, Nintendogs. Mario Kart Tour has received its final content update and MK8D's DLC has wrapped up, so they have probably been working on the next Mario Kart EPD 10: Pikmin and 2D Mario. Launched both Pikmin 4 (co-developed with Eighting) and Super Mario Bros. Wonder in 2023 Nash Weedle claiming a Pikmin spin-off featuring new gameplay and potentially a new artstyle will release in the next fiscal year, numbered titles will continue to have the same gameplay as previous entries Planning-focused groups: There is some cause to believe Nintendo may have quietly rebranded or consolidated how it handles these groups. The Ask the Developer interview for Mario&Luigi Brothership attributes its EPD producers to an "EPD Co-Production Group" rather than the usual/expected EPD 2, and the Ask the Developer interview for Emio similarly does not attribute its producers to a numbered group. EPD 2: Very much a grab-bag catch-all group. Its purpose is to allow EPD to maintain some level of involvement in pretty much everything not delegated to another group, and so its producers are credited on series as varied as Kirby, Mario Party, Smash, Fire Emblem, Bayonetta, Xenoblade, and Pokemon EPD 6: Involved with Intelligen System's non-Fire Emblem games (i.e. Paper Mario, WarioWare) as well as all games developed by Retro Studios and Next Level Games Other Nintendo-owned Studios: The Mario World beyond EPD 1-Up Studio (formerly Brownie Brown): Acts as a support studio primarily for Nintendo EPD titles (most frequently EPD 8 projects, though also credited in occasional non-EPD 8 games like Tri-Force Heroes, Ring Fit Adventure, and Animal Crossing New Horizons) iQue: Primarily tasked with Chinese localization Developed and maintains the N64 emulator used for WiiU Virtual Console, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and NSO Began hiring game programmers and testers around 2019, suggesting an expanded role in supporting software development Mario Club: Debugging and Q&A for most Nintendo-published games report that Mario Club is laying off 150 employees (~38% of its workforce) Nintendo denies rumor regarding Mario Club layoffs Monolith Soft: Tokyo studio has 2 production teams; the 1st develops the Monolith's own titles, and the second assists with EPD 3’s games; the Kyoto studio “is staffed mostly by designers, and has supported the graphics development of titles such as "The Legend of Zelda," "Splatoon," and the "Animal Crossing" series” Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition releases March 20th, 2025 August 2024: 1st Production Group recruiting for “a ‘new RPG’ brought to you by General Director Tetsuya Takahashi” (executive director/story writer for the Xenoblade series) “The new RPG is taking on many new challenges compared to previous Monolith Soft titles” Recently established a new R&D division: “The R&D team has three roles: streamlining the development environment for the entire company , supporting tool development for each section , and researching and developing new technologies” 2017 job listing for “an ambitious project that differs from Monolith Soft’s brand image” 2023 job listing for UI designer in “action game development”; February 2024 update to recruitment page still looking for developers with experience making 3D action games Post-acquisition, the studio's founders still retained small minority stakes in the company; at some point between October 1st and November 21st of 2024, all founders’ shares moved to Nintendo, making Monolith Soft a 100% Nintendo-owned subsidiary Next Level Games: Luigi's Mansion 2&3, Mario Strikers, Punch-Out Wii, Metroid Prime Federation Force Have been on a 3-year release cycle since 2013's Luigi's Mansion 2; With their most recent title being Mario Strikers Battle League, maintaining that cycle would have their next game due in 2025 Nintendo Prime in March 2023: Claims an F-Zero GX remaster is one of two projects in development at Next Level Games Nate the Hate on Twitter when asked if an F-Zero project he heard about was F-Zero 99: “I believe it was a different F-Zero project from F-Zero 99.” 4chan text post (lol) claiming a Luigi’s Mansion game developed by Next Level is releasing next Halloween (i.e. October 2025) as a Switch 2 exclusive Nintendo Cube (formerly NDcube): Mario Party (9 onwards), Clubhouse Games. Most recently released Super Mario Party Jamboree in October Nintendo European Research and Development (NERD) (Formerly Mobiclip/Actimagine): Responsible for most of Nintendo's emulation; also frequently credited in "novel-technology"-heavy titles such as EPD 4 games and Velan Studios' Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit In addition to ongoing NSO work, served as a support studio for Tears of the Kingdom (their site specifically lists their contributions as texture compression tech, tools used for animations and creating terrain elements, and a continuous Level of Detail based rendering system to display the Depths, caves, wells, and sky islands) Nintendo Software Technology (NST): Mario vs DK games, F-Zero 99, support for indie publishing partnerships, port work+new content for several EPD games Released a remake of the original Mario vs DK in February 2024 Ongoing support for F-Zero 99 Satellaview tracks and machines were added in the 1.5 anniversary update in September; datamines found text referring to a Mario vs DK-themed event with a “Mini Mario League” 1.5.5 update in December reran an expanded version of 2023’s Frozen Tracks event and featured a Frozen World Tour mode; datamines found incomplete alt colors for Satellaview machines At launch, dataminers found evidence of additional game modes Retro Studios: Metroid Prime 1-4, recent DK games Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is currently scheduled for 2025 Shpeshal Nick on a source's description of Prime 4 As part of his reporting on Prime Remastered, Jeff Grubb has also maintained that Prime 2&3 would get remasters, but that they would likely not be to the same extent as Prime Remastered: “Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3 are sorta getting, they’ll probably get, like, the updated controls and things like that, but they’re not getting quite the same overhaul that Metroid Prime 1 is getting” SamusHunter, following the Prime artbook's announcement for summer 2025: "I'm looking forward to replay the entire Trilogy on the Switch before that. About 2 Remastered, I can confirm what Grubb mentioned, it was planned as a stand alone release but got moved a couple of time and now is planned for early next year, lkely between DKCRHD and Xenoblade X." reddit user Ncleknows: “Prime 2 remaster is done and likely will be released the same way 1 was with a shadow drop. Has been in ready state for a while like Nate said and ready to release just staggering it. 3 is far more involved as there’s more changes with controls, camera and a few other issues they’ve run into. Prime 2 has sat in waiting for a while and they’re polishing prime 3. Do not get your hopes up for a launch game with prime 4, Nintendo are staggering these games apart as much on purpose to give them time for Prime 4 as it’s gone through development hell” Shiver Entertainment: Porting house acquired from Embracer Group in May 2024 Developed Beasts vs Bots and State of Chaos for iOS/Android Has done frequent work for WB Games; previously developed Scribblenauts Showdown and the Switch ports of Mortal Kombat 11, Hogwarts Legacy, and Mortal Kombat 1 per Nintendo’s notice of acquisition: “By welcoming Shiver’s experienced and accomplished development team, Nintendo aims to secure high-level resources for porting and developing software titles. Going forward, even after it becomes a part of the Nintendo group, Shiver’s focus will remain the same, continuing commissions that port and develop software for multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch.” Systems Research and Development (SRD): Programming assistance on many Nintendo games dating back as far as the Famicom/NES port of Donkey Kong in 1983 before being acquired by Nintendo in 2022 Close Partners and Frequent Collaborators: The Nintendo Keiretsu and Friends Arika (Tokyo): Endless Ocean series, several Dr. Mario installments, Tetris 99/Mario 35/Pac-Man 99 Most recently released Endless Ocean Luminous in May 2024 Bandai-Namco: On Switch, developed Smash Ultimate, Pokken Tournament, New Pokemon Snap, asset creation for EPD 9 games, art support for Splatoon 3 Studio 2 and Studio S: “Specializing in commissioned development projects within the company” Bandai Namco studios seemingly dedicated solely to Nintendo co-development projects Looks to comprise both the Smash team as well as the EPD 9 support team Hiring for two projects: A 3D action game (possibly a remaster, going off of an older job listing and a 2D action game All 3D remaster/remake jobs have been removed from Namco’s recruitment page as of early February 2024; 2D action game listing also removed Bloomberg: Bandai Namco Games has cut its workforce by ~100, has cancelled/paused games based on One Piece and Naruto alongside a Nintendo-commissioned title Camelot: Mario Tennis/Golf, Golden Sun series Most recently released Mario Golf Super Rush in 2021 (with no 2024 release, this is the longest Camelot has ever gone without releasing a new game) Emily Rogers in late 2021: “Internally, in the last ten years, Nintendo has shown more interest in Golden Sun than people realize. Nintendo likes Golden Sun. The big thing holding it back is finding the right developer/studio to work on it. Because Camelot has its plate full with Mario sports, and Mario sports makes Nintendo a lot of money. If were up to me, I think Nintendo should find a studio to re-make Golden Sun 1 and 2. Remakes would be much, much easier to develop than a brand new Golden Sun.” DeNA: Nintendo’s primary partner in the mobile space. Also contributed to the development of the current Nintendo Account system. most recently co-developed Pokemon TCG Pocket with Creatures Joint ventures Nintendo Systems established in 2023, owned 80% by Nintendo and 20% by DeNA for the purpose of “research and development, as well as operations to strengthen the digitalization of Nintendo’s business, in addition to the creation of value-added services” In 2024, one of DeNA subsidiary DeNA Digital Production, which had been working on Pokemon TCG Pocket, was rebranded as Pokemon Card D Studio; 66.6% owned by DeNA, 33.4% owned by The Pokemon Company Eighting: Kuru Kuru Kururin series. Ported and developed new content for Pikmin 3 Deluxe, co-developed Pikmin 4 with EPD 10; included in the credits for Nintendo Switch Sports as of its basketball update in July 2024 Game Freak/Creatures Inc./The Pokemon Company Game Freak's next title is Pokemon Legends Z-A set for a 2025 release Pokemon TCG Pocket, developed by Creatures with DeNA, released in October 2024 Project Bloom: Game Freak action-adventure game with Take-Two label Private Division Current status of Project Bloom unclear following Take-Two's sale of Private Division to an “unknown buyer” Game Freak Hack Pokemon Gen 10 codenamed Project Gaia, two versions "K and N", while targeting Switch 2 it appears to at least have been tested on Current Switch (latest found Switch 1 build dated September 2023) Synapse: Internally labelled an MMO but seems to be a team-based PVP game (described as "recalling Splatoon in some way"), unreleased project between Game Freak, ILCA, and TPC, leaked file dates development back to at least 2019. Unclear if still in development Legends Z-A codenamed Ikkaku (narwhal, keeping with XY being Kujira/Whale). Hacker claims it is only targeting current Switch (i.e. no evidence of a "Switch 2-native" version) and that a complete build currently exists Pokemon Works: Company founded in early 2024 as a joint venture between The Pokemon Company and ILCA (Pokemon Home, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, support for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet) for “contracted development of games related to Pokemon” Riddler_Khu: “Have you prepared for gen10? 30thA” (Pokemon’s 30th anniversary will be in 2026); “ikkaku will not be out too early next year” Good-Feel: Wario Land Shake It, Kirby's Epic Yarn, recent Yoshi games most recently released Princess Peach Showtime in March 2024 Grezzo: Ocarina of Time 3D/Majora's Mask 3D, Luigi's Mansion 3D, Link's Awakening remake, Miitopia remaster, co-developed Triforce Heroes with EPD 3 Most recently released Echoes of Wisdom, co-developed with EPD 3 Aonuma interview indicates interest in developing more new topdown Zelda titles - “And so we will also have those dynamic 3D Zeldas as well, but in addition to that, we’re also hoping we can continue with these 2D top-down Zeldas.” Axios interview: “The studio has around 85 full-time employees, Ishii says, and tends to develop about two or three games at a time.” HAL Laboratory: Kirby, Boxboy, Part-Time UFO Warpstar Inc. is responsible for managing the Kirby IP specifically (essentially, it’s The Pokemon Company but for Kirby); HAL owns 50% of its shares while Nintendo owns the other 50% Kirby series director Shinya Kumazaki sees Kirby and the Forgotten Land as “the first step in our kind of ongoing moving forward challenge of now also creating 3D Kirby games” multiple job listings specifically for developing (pretend to be shocked) Kirby games; presumably looking to fill the gap left by external developer Vanpool, which worked with HAL on several Kirby spin-offs as well as Forgotten Land and Return to Dreamland Deluxe before shutting down in May 2023 Nate the Hate: Kirby Planet Robobot coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025 Corroborated by PH/Brazil 4chan post (lol) with images, claims that a 2D Kirby game is in development for Switch (link is to Fami because 4chan posts are hard to track down and often disappear) indieszero: Electroplankton, NES Remix series (with EPD 8), Sushi Striker, Brain Training for Nintendo Switch (with EPD 4), Big Brain Academy Brain vs Brain (with EPD 4) Most recently released Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition in July 2024, co-developed with EPD 4 Intelligent Systems: Fire Emblem, paper Mario, WarioWare Released a Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door remake in May 2024 datamined code related to support for 4K resolutions, suggesting a possible planned next-gen update Rumored Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War remake Imran Khan in 2019: “I know there was another Fire Emblem remake in the works for 3DS and that was one of the things that they shuttered. So maybe that’s one of the things they do bring forward [to the Switch] in the future.” PH/Brazil tweets pictures teasing upcoming Switch games in late 2020, includes Seliph from FE4 MarkoMaro: “Also Fire Emblem has not one, or two, but 3 games in development at this moment...with a spinoff, a remake and a new game, some of them almost finished.” claimed to be in development by same person who leaked photos of Fire Emblem Engage in June 2022 (who also claimed Engage had been finished “for quite some time now”) Nate the Hate: "Genealogy of the Holy War has been remade for the Nintendo Switch, it’s simply waiting for Nintendo to announce it”; Again in Feb 2024: It's just waiting for Nintendo to announce it. Datamined codename evidence: Basically, datamining indicates that Three Houses had the codename Iron17 while Engage had the codename Iron19 but contains references in its code to an Iron 18; Three Hopes (the Warriors game that released in between them) was codenamed Seasons, so Iron18 remains unaccounted for 4chan text post (lol) claiming a “traditional style” Paper Mario with levels “more open like Origimi King” will be revealed next year for the Switch successor Koei Tecmo: Hyrule/Fire Emblem Warriors, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Buddy Mission BOND, co-developed Fire Emblem Three Houses with IntSys PlatinumGames: Bayonetta, Astral Chain, co-developed Star Fox Zero with EPD Nash Weedle (via Google Translate): “Bayonetta will receive a trilogy edition with its three main games in one pack for the Switch 2. The games will bring visual improvements (HDR confirmed) and performance. Due to backwards compatibility, it can also be played on Switch 2 with improvements” Prior to Astral Chain’s release, director Takahisa Taura talked about having ideas of how to expand it into a trilogy or more In a 2021 interview, PlatinumGames studio head Atsushi Inaba said that Taura was "working on something, but we can't say what it is" and that there were "a lot" of things that Platinum wanted him to do. "It could be him wanting to do his own thing, something like Astral Chain again, or it could be somebody coming to us and saying 'we really like Taura and want to do something with him' like what we did with Nier.". Since that interview, Taura’s been credited on Bayonetta 3 (special thanks), Bayonetta Origins (game design advice), and Final Fantasy 16 (game designer) Apparent exodus of multiple high-profile Platinum employees, including Takahisa Taura (Astral Chain director) and Abebe Tinari (Bayonetta Origins director) Unknown Taura project allegedly was canned by a partner company Sora Limited: Literally just Masahiro Sakurai and his wife Michiko Sakurai (who has designed the menus and UI for most of their games); exists to streamline the process of taking on contract work Masahiro Sakurai noted in 2023 that "for now at least, I can't imagine a Smash Bros. title without me" Sakurai: A console port of Kid Icarus Uprising “sure would be nice” but notes that “without a team around to work on it, crafting a follow-up seems difficult” In his final Youtube video, Sakurai stated that in mid-2021 he was asked to write a game proposal, which had been given the OK to move forward by the time Smash Ultimate DLC finished, with a development team expected to be assembled by April 2022. Tantalus Media: Largely a work-for-hire porting/support studio. In the Nintendo sphere, they’re responsible for remasters including Twilight Princess HD, Skyward Sword HD, and most recently Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD Ubisoft: Mario+Rabbids games, Starlink Battle for Atlus (featured Starfox content in the Switch version) Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot seemingly confirms a next-gen update/rerelease of Mario+Rabbids 2: Nintendo [has advised] that it's better to do one iteration on each machine. We were a bit too early, we should have waited for [the next console]. Because you could play a great game. And we think it will last for ten years, because we will update it for the new machine that will come in the future." Mario+Rabbids director leaves Ubisoft to launch new studio, working on original IP Misc. Odds and Ends In an interview, Miyamoto stated that the Virtual Boy games at the Nintendo Museum were being emulated on Switch hardware, confirming that Nintendo has a Switch-compatible Virtual Boy emulator Donkey Kong Country Returns HD has been announced for a January 16th, 2025 release date; developer seems to be Forever Entertainment 2021 story about Forever being given "significant financial support from Nintendo...to release several titles on Nintendo Switch" Mario&Luigi: Brothership was developed by Acquire (Octopath 1&2, Tenchu, Way of the Samurai) references to Star Fox objects found in code for Switch Sports (the first released game to use EPD’s newest engine, ModuleSystem) In 2015, Miyamoto indicated that Star Fox is something Nintendo experiments with internally whenever they begin working with new hardware: "I work very closely with the programmer of Star Fox 64. Basically, every time we get new hardware, we do a Star Fox prototype." new international trademark for Star Fox filed in late 2023 Nintendo investing up to approx. $880 million to “organically expand” its game development assets and creative culture, up to approx. $2.64 billion into Nintendo accounts and infrastructure; also constructing new 12-floor building for game production, expected to be completed by end of 2027 new building delayed to 2028 or later, “with the possibility of ‘more than 13 floors’ to cater to a long-term increase in development personnel" reddit user lineup-leak: Gamecube classics will be available at launch of next console (specifically mentions Mario Kart Double Dash, Smash Melee, Metroid Prime 2 as launch titles, with Pokemon Colosseum, FE Path of Radiance, and Mario Party 4 also being tested for NSO) claims next Mario Kart will not be a launch title but will release within the first 6-12 months, describes next Mario as being “in final testing phase” Chris Dring/GamesIndustry.biz: ”Nintendo is actively meeting with independent developers to find new partners. Some of that is around publishing indie games, … but it’s also seeking studios that could work on some of its IP.”; “Nintendo regularly works with third-party teams, … But the company is looking to add to that roster, and I know of three studios that are deep in conversation around making games based on Nintendo brands” reddit user Advanced-Ad7780: Project X Zone 3 is currently in development (leak didn’t specify a developer, but the first two games were developed by Monolith Soft for the 3DS) follow-up post from same user claiming it’ll release on Nintendo Switch in 2025 PH/Brazil has heard of a 3DS game and a Gamecube game coming to the current Switch in the next fiscal year (i.e. after March 2025) stated on twitter that the 3DS game he’s heard about is not Kid Icarus Uprising, Samus Returns, Link Between Worlds, or Mario&Luigi Dream Team Corroborated Nate’s Planet Robobot claim submitted by /u/blackthorn_orion to r/GamingLeaksAndRumours [link] [comments]

The Nintendo Breakdown 2: An updated overview of confirmed, leaked, and rumored projects from Nintendo and its close partners
Note: This post was updated on June 25th, primarily to account for the contents of the June direct Hello again! About 6 months ago, I put together a Nintendo roundup that got some positive feedback, and with this week’s double-whammy of the Switch successor kinda being announced and a direct being confirmed for June, I figured now was as good a time as any to put out an updated version so folks can know where things stand and have something to chew on while they wait. My intent is to update this post after the June direct with any new information. Please let me know if anything's borked, as formatting big posts on reddit can get a bit wonky and some of these links are getting old Nintendo Entertainment Planning and Development (EPD): Formed in 2015 as part of a restructuring that unified Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development (EAD) and Nintendo Software Planning and Development (SPD). When people talk about “in-house Nintendo”, this is usually what they mean. EPD groups are primarily small producer/director-led teams that then scale up and pull from a shared “pool” of developers as projects get further into development. EPD’s many sub-groups can essentially be divided into those that primarily develop their own games and those focused more on overseeing/collaborating with other studios (both non-EPD Nintendo studios as well as fully external developers), though there are exceptions and gray areas Development-focused groups EPD 3: The Zelda team; with Tears of the Kingdom DLC stated to be off the table, they are presumed to have moved onto the next major Zelda title The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom releases September 26th, presumed to be an EPD 3/Grezzo collaboration Nate the Hate and Eurogamer both reported that a build of Breath of the Wild running on Switch 2-comparable hardware was shown behind closed doors at Gamescom 2023 featuring 4K60fps and “erased” load times; however, these reports also stressed that this was intended primarily as a tech demo and isn’t necessarily indicative of a next-gen update or remaster being planned for release Jeff Grubb, Nate the Hate, Imran Khan, and Andy Robinson have all previously claimed or alluded to the WiiU versions of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess coming to Switch (often speculated/reported as being a double-pack); nobody's gotten the timing right on this, but these are often framed as finished ports that Nintendo is sitting on for one reason or another. Nate the Hate: "They exist but knowing when they'll come out is a different matter. It's why they are often used in speculation as a schedule filler" Grubb: "I've always heard they're ready, they're sitting there, we're just waiting for Nintendo to pull the trigger. When they will, why they will, who knows?" EPD 4: The “experimental” team behind games such as Labo, Ring Fit Adventure, and Nintendo Switch Sports. Typically their games feature bespoke peripherals or prioritize using a system's hardware features for novel gameplay. Most recently released Everybody 1-2 Switch (co-developed with NDcube) in June 2023. Nintendo Switch Sports is getting a new sport, basketball, added sometime this summer EPD 5: Animal Crossing and Splatoon. Most recently released Side Order, a roguelike DLC mode for Splatoon 3, in February 2024 Pre-release, Splatoon 3 was confirmed to get 2 years of support; barring a content extension, the game should get its final content update this year around September Splatoon 3's 8.0.0 update in May contained references that may be for the final major splatfest and a new hub Should note that while the two series typically share a producer, there’s historically been little to no overlap in directors, so it’s not impossible for both Animal Crossing and Splatoon to have games in active development at once EPD 8: Also known as EPD Tokyo since the rest of EPD is based out of Nintendo’s Kyoto HQ, this is the 3D Mario team (also Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Captain Toad; co-developed the NES Remix games with indieszero) 2020 hiring call for a “level designer for new 2D action game (working in Tokyo)” 2020 job listing for a "level designer for new 3D action game” in Tokyo Rumors of an EPD 8 Donkey Kong game: LonelyGoomba “I heard an unlikely rumour that the Mario Odyssey team are working on a 3D Donkey Kong game.” Nintendo Life: “Nintendo Life can confirm that it has heard the same rumour [as LonelyGoomba] from an independent (and very trusted) source, which would appear to lend this report some degree of legitimacy. However, our source claims that the game will be 2D (or 2.5D, if you prefer) and not 3D. Professor Chops on Famiboards: VV were working on open world 3D DK game since 2016, project was shelved and moved to EPD 8 in 2018 DK Vine: A DK game had been in development at an external studio before Nintendo decided to bring the series in-house; “I've been led to believe that this is a new EPD team that has formed from other teams specifically for the purpose of creating Donkey Kong games.” Liam Robertson: Full documentary about Vicarious Visions’ DK project (and other things) on DidYouKnowGaming: Refutes the notion that Miyamoto was heavily contributing design ideas. A DK game codenamed “Freedom” was a demo made by VV and pitched to Nintendo, worked on for “a little over 6 months starting from the end development of on Skylanders Superchargers in September 2015”; “A throughline between the conversations I had with former workers was that they had all heard that Nintendo had given them some positive feedback on their demo”. Ultimately killed by Activision higher-ups, who felt VV’s resources were better spent on franchises such as Call of Duty and Destiny, in spring 2016 on the subject of Vicarious Visions’ project potentially being moved to EPD: “It was an unsolicited pitch from VV that was never picked up. Zero proof that it was continued elsewhere. If Nintendo is doing DK, it’s something else.”; [“Nintendo] hadn’t made a decision either way on funding it when it was shut down.” EPD 9: Mario Kart, ARMS (and Nintendogs once upon a time). With Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass both receiving their final content updates towards the end of 2023, they’ve probably been working on the next Mario Kart game (either that or LEGS) EPD 10: Pikmin and 2D Mario (including Mario Maker). Launched both Pikmin 4 (co-developed with Eighting) and Super Mario Bros. Wonder in 2023. Unclear if there are any plans for either Pikmin 4 or Mario Wonder to get DLC (on WiiU, both Pikmin 3 and New Super Mario Bros. U received paid DLC) speculation that the Pikmin 4 Japanese website possibly hinted at DLC via pictures not currently in the game: https://famiboards.com/threads/nintendo-first-party-software-development-st-nintendo-party-superstars.114/post-897523 Oversight and collaborative groups EPD 2 has the broadest responsibilities of these groups, through which EPD gets a hand in projects including Kirby, Mario Party, Smash, Fire Emblem, Bayonetta, Xenoblade, and Pokemon, and others. In most cases, if a game is published by Nintendo and none of the other EPD groups are involved, there will at least be a producer or two from EPD 2 attached to the project offering input and oversight EPD 6 generally sticks to to overseeing Intelligent Systems’ non-Fire Emblem games (i.e. Paper Mario, WarioWare) as well as all games developed by Retro Studios and Next Level Games. EPD 7 is a bit hard to place, but for simplicity’s sake I’m putting it here; as SPD 1 they developed multiple games on their own (notably the Rhythm Heaven and Tomodachi games), but after Nintendo shook up its internal structure in the late WiiU era and SPD 1 became EPD 7, they appear not to have the capacity for solo projects. Instead, all their projects as EPD 7 have been in collaboration with external studios and include the Famicom Detective Club remakes developed with MAGES as well as MercurySteam’s recent Metroid games MercurySteam is currently rumored to be working on a 2D Metroid game targeting 2025 in addition to their confirmed “Project Iron” (a 3rd person action-RPG in partnership with 505 Games); MercurySteam put out 2 games in 2017 (Samus Returns and Spacelords) and 2021 (Metroid Dread and American McGee Presents: Scrapland Remastered), so it’s very possible for them to have two projects in development at once EPD 1 stands as something of a mystery, as just about every series it would previously have managed and overseen has seemingly been moved under EPD 2 in recent years; its current status and possible projects are unclear Other Nintendo-owned Studios: Mario World outside of EPD 1-Up Studio (formerly Brownie Brown): As Brownie Brown, developed games such as Magical Vacation, Sword of Mana, and A Kappa’s Trail; co-developed Mother 3 with HAL Laboratory As 1-Up, acts as a support studio primarily for Nintendo EPD titles (most frequently EPD 8 projects, though also credited in occasional non-EPD 8 games like Tri-Force Heroes, Ring Fit Adventure, and Animal Crossing New Horizons) iQue: Previously distributed Nintendo games and consoles in China under the iQue Player branding; with Tencent now acting as Nintendo’s official distributor in the region, iQue’s primary role has been Chinese localization developed the N64 emulator used for WiiU Virtual Console, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and NSO began hiring game programmers and testers around 2019, suggesting an expanded role in game development (presumably as a support studio) Monolith Soft: Tokyo studio is comprised of two groups; one develops the Xenoblade series, one assists with EPD 3’s games; Kyoto studio does support for EPD 5 projects; most recent solo release was 2023’s Future Redeemed, the DLC story expansion to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 2017 job listing for “an ambitious project that differs from Monolith Soft’s brand image” 2023 job listing for UI designer in “action game development”; February 2024 update to recruitment page still looking for developers with experience making 3D action games Possible evidence of a Xenoblade X remaster from Future Redeemed NDcube: Mario Party (from 9 onwards), Clubhouse Games, various other party game/mini game titles (also F-Zero Maximum Velocity on GBA), co-developed Everybody's 1-2 Switch with EPD 4 Super Mario Party Jamboree is set to release October 12th Next Level Games: Luigi’s Mansion 2 and 3, Mario Strikers series, Punch-Out Wii, Metroid Prime Federation Force Since 2013’s Luigi’s Mansion 2, Next Level has released a new game every 3 years; With Mario Strikers Battle League releasing and wrapping support in 2022, they should have a new game in 2025 (assuming they stick to this 3 year cycle) Nintendo Prime in March 2023: An F-Zero GX remaster is one of two projects in development at Next Level Games Nate the Hate on Twitter when asked if the F-Zero project he heard about was F-Zero 99: “I believe it was a different F-Zero project from F-Zero 99.” Nintendo European Research and Development (NERD) (Formerly Mobiclip/Actimagine): Primarily handles most of Nintendo’s emulation needs (NES/SNES emulators in the mini consoles and NSO, GB/GBA for NSO, and the Gamecube/Wii emulator used in Mario 3D All-Stars/Pikmin 1+2). Frequently credited in “novel technology”-heavy titles such as EPD 4 projects and Velan Studios’ Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit In addition to ongoing NSO work, served as a support studio for Tears of the Kingdom Most recently developed Pikmin 1+2 along with the Porting Technology Development Team (part of Nintendo Platform Technology Development, Nintendo’s hardware&tech division) Nintendo Pictures (formerly Dynamo Pictures): Animation and motion capture studio As Dynamo Pictures, credited on games and media such as Metroid Other M, Monster Hunter Stories, Persona 5, and the Pikmin shorts As Nintendo Pictures, credited on Tears of the Kingdom (special thanks), Pikmin 4 (very special thanks), Mario Wonder (character design/character action design/field design/cinematic design/technical support/project management/special thanks), Super Mario RPG remake (character art/animation art/technical art), and Another Code Recollection (very special thanks) Nintendo Software Technology (NST): Ridge Racer 64, Pokemon Puzzle League (a reskin of Intelligent Systems’ shelved Panel de Pon 64), Wave Race Blue Storm, 1080 Avalanche, Mario vs DK series, Metroid Prime Hunters, F-Zero 99, support work for indie publishing partnerships (Snipperclips, The Stretchers, Good Job), port work+new content for EPD games (Mario Maker 3DS, Captain Toad Switch/3DS, 3D World+Bowser’s Fury) most recently put out a remake of the original Mario vs Donkey Kong in February 2024 Upon F-Zero 99’s launch, dataminers found evidence of additional game modes Retro Studios: Metroid Prime series, Donkey Kong Country Returns & Tropical Freeze, support for Mario Kart 7; most recently released Metroid Prime Remastered in 2023 Metroid Prime 4 is real and currently scheduled for a 2025 release! Jeff Grubb has previously reported that Prime 2 and 3 would also get remasters, but isn’t expecting Prime 1-level “big boy remasters” (as he’s phrased it); “Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3 are sorta getting, they’ll probably get, like, the updated controls and things like that, but they’re not getting quite the same overhaul that Metroid Prime 1 is getting”. He also said that “Metroid Prime 2 remaster probably is coming out relatively soon-ish” back in July 2023 (fortunately he did not bet his hair on this one) reddit user Ncleknows: "Prime 2 has sat in waiting for a while and they're polishing prime 3" Shiver Entertainment: A Miami-based porting house acquired by Nintendo from Embracer Group in May 2024 Frequently worked with WB Games; previously developed Scribblenauts Showdown and Switch ports of AAA games such as Mortal Kombat 11, Hogwarts Legacy, and Mortal Kombat 1 per Nintendo’s notice of acquisition: “By welcoming Shiver’s experienced and accomplished development team, Nintendo aims to secure high-level resources for porting and developing software titles. Going forward, even after it becomes a part of the Nintendo group, Shiver’s focus will remain the same, continuing commissions that port and develop software for multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch.” Systems Research and Development (SRD): Programming assistance on many Nintendo games dating back as far as the Famicom/NES port of Donkey Kong in 1983 before eventually being acquired by Nintendo in 2022 Close Partners and Frequent Collaborators: The Nintendo Keiretsu and Friends Arika: Endless Ocean series, several Dr. Mario installments, Tetris 99/Mario 35/Pac-Man 99 Most recently released Endless Ocean Luminous in May 2024 Bandai Namco: As Namco, developed Starfox Assault, the Donkey Konga series, and the Mario baseball games; As Bandai Namco, responsible for Smash games starting with Smash for WiiU and 3DS, asset creation for EPD 9 games starting with Mario Kart 8 (technically had been involved with Kart since the arcade entries in the mid-2000s), and various Pokemon spin-offs such as Pokken Tournament and New Pokemon Snap Studio 2 and Studio S: “Specializing in commissioned development projects within the company” Bandai Namco studios seemingly dedicated solely to Nintendo co-development projects Looks to comprise both the Smash team as well as the EPD 9 support team (not confirmed: the Pokken/New Pokemon Snap team) Going off the interview section of their website, people at Studio S have worked on Smash games, while those at Studio 2 have worked on EPD 9 games Hiring for two projects: A 3D action game (possibly a remaster, going off of an older job listing )and a 2D action game All 3D remaster/remake jobs have been removed from Namco’s recruitment page as of early February 2024; 2D action game listing also removed Camelot: Mario Tennis and Mario Golf games, Golden Sun series Emily Rogers stated in late 2021 that “internally, in the last ten years, Nintendo has shown more interest in Golden Sun than people realize. Nintendo likes Golden Sun. The big thing holding it back is finding the right developer/studio to work on it. Because Camelot has its plate full with Mario sports, and Mario sports makes Nintendo a lot of money. If were up to me, I think Nintendo should find a studio to re-make Golden Sun 1 and 2. Remakes would be much, much easier to develop than a brand new Golden Sun.” Game Freak/Creatures Inc./The Pokemon Company: Game Freak is currently working on Pokemon Legends Z-A, scheduled to release in 2025 Game Freak, working with WonderPlanet, released Pand Land in June 2024 in Japan for iOS/Android Pokemon TCG Pocket, developed by Creatures Inc. and DeNA, is scheduled to release on Android and iOS in 2024 TCG Pocket developer DeNA Digital Production Co. renamed to Pokemon Card D Studio, will be co-funded by TPC and DeNA Game Freak has announced it's making an action-adventure game codenamed Project Bloom with Take-Two label Private Division; expected to launch “during Take-Two’s fiscal year 2026”, no platforms have been announced 4Chan post claiming there will be a Scarlet/Violet graphics enhancement patch for “the new Nintendo Switch models that will be released alongside DLC2” Creatures employee's LinkedIn mentioned working on "one unannounced game" in 2022 in addition to the then-unreleased Detective Pikachu Returns Pokemon Works founded in early 2024 as a joint venture between The Pokemon Company and ILCA (Pokemon Home, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, support for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet) for “contracted development of games related to Pokemon” (presumably will be roughly analogous to Bandai Namco Aces, a joint venture between Bandai Namco and ILCA related to the Ace Combat series) Pyoro: “Idk anything about the Pokémon Presents, while heard of an outsourced unova-related game. The info was from last year so it may turn out to be inaccurate.; “This is not a leak and should be taken with a grain of salt. I’m just sharing something i’m aware of.” Riddler_Khu: “Have you prepared for gen10? 30thA” (Pokemon’s 30th anniversary will be in 2026); “ikkaku will not be out too early next year” (according to Khu, Legend’s Z-A’s codename is ikkaku) Good-Feel: Wario Land Shake It, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Yoshi’s Wooly World/Crafted World most recently released Princess Peach Showtime in March 2024 Grezzo: Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora’s Mask 3D, Luigi’s Mansion 3D, Link’s Awakening remake, Miitopia remaster; co-developed Triforce Heroes with EPD 3 presumed (but not officially confirmed) to be developing or co-developing The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launching in September HAL Laboratory: Known primarily for Kirby; in recent years, they’ve also made the Boxboy games and Part-Time UFO. Prior to roughly the mid-2000s, their output was a bit more varied, including titles such as the first Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Ranger, the first two Smash Bros., and co-developing Earthbound and Mother 3 Warpstar Inc. is responsible for managing the Kirby IP specifically (essentially, it’s The Pokemon Company but for Kirby); HAL owns 50% of its shares while Nintendo owns the other 50% Kirby series director Shinya Kumazaki called Kirby and the Forgotten Land “the first step in our kind of ongoing moving forward challenge of now also creating 3D Kirby games”, indicating they intend to follow up the now best-selling Kirby game with another 3D entry multiple job listings specifically for developing (pretend to be shocked) Kirby games; presumably looking to fill the gap left by external developer Vanpool, which worked with HAL on several Kirby spin-offs as well as Forgotten Land and Return to Dreamland Deluxe before shutting down in May 2023 indieszero: Electroplankton, NES Remix series (with EPD 8), Sushi Striker, Brain Training for Nintendo Switch (with EPD 4), Big Brain Academy Brain vs Brain (with EPD 4) While not confirmed to be involved in the recently-announced Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, Masanobu Suzui (founder of indieszero) retweeted the game’s official announcement Intelligent Systems: Fire Emblem, Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Puzzle League, Paper Mario, WarioWare, Advance Wars, Pushmo/Pullblox Most recently released the remake of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door in May 2024 datamined code related to support for 4K resolutions, possibly suggesting a planned next-gen update rumored Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War remake: Imran Khan in 2019: “I know there was another Fire Emblem remake in the works for 3DS and that was one of the things that they shuttered. So maybe that’s one of the things they do bring forward [to the Switch] in the future.” Brazil teasing upcoming Switch games in late 2020, includes picture of FE4 boxart MarkoMaro in 2022: “Also Fire Emblem has not one, or two, but 3 games in development at this moment...with a spinoff, a remake and a new game, some of them almost finished.” claimed to be in development by same person who leaked photos of Fire Emblem Engage in June 2022 (who also claimed Engage had been finished “for quite some time now”) Nate the Hate: It “has been remade for the Nintendo Switch, it’s simply waiting for Nintendo to announce it”; Again in Feb 2024: "It's just waiting for Nintendo to announce it." Datamined codename evidence: Datamining indicates that Three Houses had the codename Iron17 while Engage had the codename Iron19 but contains references in its code to an Iron 18; Three Hopes (the Warriors game that released in between them) was codenamed Seasons, so Iron18 remains unaccounted for Koei Tecmo: Pokemon Conquest, Metroid Other M, Hyrule Warriors games, Fire Emblem Warriors games, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Buddy Mission Bond (Japan-exclusive), Fire Emblem Three Houses (co-developed with Intelligent Systems) PlatinumGames: developer of the Bayonetta games and Astral Chain, co-developed Star Fox Zero with EPD Nash Weedle (via Google Translate): “Bayonetta will receive a trilogy edition with its three main games in one pack for the Switch 2. The games will bring visual improvements (HDR confirmed) and performance. Due to backwards compatibility, it can also be played on Switch 2 with improvements” Prior to Astral Chain’s release, director Takahisa Taura talked about having ideas of how to expand it into a trilogy or more In a 2021 interview, PlatinumGames studio head Atsushi Inaba said that Taura was "working on something, but we can't say what it is" and that there were "a lot" of things that Platinum wanted him to do. "It could be him wanting to do his own thing, something like Astral Chain again, or it could be somebody coming to us and saying 'we really like Taura and want to do something with him' like what we did with Nier.". Taura has since been credited on Bayonetta 3 (special thanks), Bayonetta Origins (game design advice), and Final Fantasy 16 (game designer) Tantalus Media: Largely a work-for-hire porting/support studio. In the Nintendo sphere, they’ve been responsible for remasters including Twilight Princess HD, Skyward Sword HD, and most recently Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD Ubisoft: Mario+Rabbids games, Starlink Battle for Atlus (featured Starfox content in the Switch version) Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot seemingly confirms a next-gen update/rerelease of Mario+Rabbids 2: Nintendo [has advised] that it's better to do one iteration on each machine. We were a bit too early, we should have waited for [the next console]. Because you could play a great game. And we think it will last for ten years, because we will update it for the new machine that will come in the future." Misc. Odds and Ends. Things that didn’t really fit anywhere else, big grain of salt for some of these Donkey Kong Country Returns HD has been announced for a January 16th, 2025 release; developer seems to be Forever Entertainment Possibly relevant: 2021 story about Forever being given "significant financial support from Nintendo...to release several titles on Nintendo Switch" Mario&Luigi: Brothership is launching November 7th; developer is unclear (the series’ previous developer, AlphaDream, closed down in 2019) Back in May, Nash Weedle claimed a Mario&Luigi game was in development and could be announced this fiscal year Stephen Totillo: Nintendo tells me that “some of the original developers who worked on the franchise are involved in the development of Mario&Luigi Brothership” Lizard_yyy: "I believe I now have full confirmation that ILCA is developing Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Video about this soon" (of the AlphaDream devs who have been credited since the studio's closure, a plurality appear to currently be at ILCA) references to Star Fox objects found in code for Switch Sports (the first released game to use EPD’s newest engine, ModuleSystem) In 2015, Miyamoto indicated that Star Fox is something Nintendo experiments with internally whenever they begin working with new hardware: "I work very closely with the programmer of Star Fox 64.

[Animation] Disney show cut short, homophobia to blame?
Hi there everyone! This is my first time doing something like this, so thank you in advance for bearing through the more novice areas. I know there’s been a lot of controversy over this particular subject, and I thought it’d be good to try and clear the air regarding some of the more messy areas. Background For those who don’t know, The Owl House is a Disney Cartoon series created by Dana Terrace that is currently in its third and final season consisting of three double-length special episodes (More on this later). The show stars 14-year-old Luz Noceda who, through a twist of fate, stumbles upon a portal to a different dimension called The Demon Realm. During her time in this dimension, she gets mentored by powerful witch Eda Clawthorne on the intricacies of magic, forges new friendships with the people around her, and finds acceptance in this seemingly extraordinary world. One of the most noteworthy elements of this show is its abundant Queer representation. Without getting into too much detail, The main character herself is bisexual and falls into a sapphic romance with Amity Blight, a major character who is also confirmed to be a Lesbian. The idea of having a same-sex couple on screen that doesn’t fall behind subtext or get relegated to the ending of a show is a rare sight in children’s media, so this naturally gave the show a lot of mainstream popularity. Unfortunately, the show's representation would also seemingly become the most likely reason for the tragic news that would strike without warning The Cancellation On May 17 of 2021, Roughy a month before Season 2 officially premiered, It was announced that the show had been renewed for a third season, but it was confirmed by Dana herself that it would only consist of three 40 minute specials, effectively shortening the show. People were naturally outraged when this news was announced and immediately jumped to the most obvious motive, which was the LGBTQ+ representation. However, the creator later clarified on a reddit AMA that the queer representation wasn’t the culprit and the true reason was because the Owl House didn’t fit the brand that Disney was advertising. While this extinguished some of the flames, they still remained strong for many people. Some believed the Disney Brand reasoning given was an excuse to mask the true reasoning of homophobia, while others saw the Disney Brand to mean kid-friendly and immediately pointed to dark moments in other Disney shows to debunk this (One of the most popular rebuttals was a scene in Amphibia’s True Colors where a child character was brutally stabbed by a flaming sword). Were there any other reasons for the distrust in the reasoning given? Well… Disney and the "Don’t Say Gay" Bill In March of 2022, it was revealed that Disney had been actively donating money to state legislators who were in support of Florida’s “Don’t say Gay” Bill, a legislation intended to prohibit the topic of Queer identity in school classrooms. This was the final nail in the coffin for Disney, and their reputation went up in flames. There were protests all over the internet. The original reasoning given for the shortening had been all but denied by countless individuals. Even Dana Terrace herself said in a tweet that she was “Fucking tired of making Disney look good”. In the end, it seemed that bigotry really had been the true explanation for The Owl House’s demise. Well, now that the flames have cooled down once more, it would be wise to go more in depth on what the Disney Brand really means, as well as some other possible factors to the show's shortening. LGBT Themes What the Disney Brand is commonly cited as a shorthand for. While it can be easy to deduce that the show’s representation was the cause for its shortening, it’s important to acknowledge that the Owl House wouldn’t have been the same if Disney wasn’t on board with it from the beginning. Dana Terrace has gone on record many times stating that she was very open about wanting Queer characters in her show, and received almost no pushback from executives for it. The one executive who did object to queer representation changed his mind very quickly. When it comes to the controversy surrounding the Don’t Say Gay bill, it’s worth noting that Disney itself isn’t just one unit, it is a company that is comprised of many different people. The individuals who donated to legislators are not the same executives who actively supported Dana Terrace or shortened the show. Barring that, there are also many statements online detailing how Disney lobbyists had been actively working against the bill behind the scenes before the donations. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t areas the company can do better in, but it adds much more nuance to the flawed idea of Disney being a singular entity when it is a business full of individuals in charge of different things. Episodic vs Serialized What are some of the most popular Disney Channel shows for children? DuckTales? Big City Greens? The Ghost and Molly Mcgee? Something that all these shows have in common is that they are largely episodic, meaning that the focus is primarily centered around the daily slice-of-life adventures involving the main cast. Disney itself is promoted as a family-friendly market, they value episodic cartoons in cable viewing because kids and (especially) parents can just flip to the channel at any time and not be lost on what might be happening. By contrast, serialized cartoons have to be played in a specific order to ensure the plot is cohesive to the audience, which means that average viewers are more likely to get confused by randomly stumbling onto an episode. This is largely why the majority of Disney Channel Shows are episodic. And although there have been many serialized cartoons in the past, such as Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Tangled the Series, and Star vs The Forces of Evil, most of them still stayed relatively episodic in their run, with the majority of their plot progression being relegated to the beginning, middle, and end of a season. The Owl House was an outlier in the sense that nearly every episode contained plot important information of some kind. There are few episodes that you can skip and not miss any important details on the overarching story, which is something that cannot be said for most of the other cartoons listed above. This alone pushes the show away from that family-friendly audience Disney strives for, and is largely why the show’s actual audience mainly consists of teens and young adults that are more likely to be paying attention to the show’s episode order. Now, with the show being as serialized as it is, it likely would have fared better on streaming services where you’re guaranteed to view the episodes in the correct order. Why didn’t Disney do that instead? I’ll be getting to that in a bit. COVID-19 2020 was a difficult year for many companies, and Disney was no exception. Because of the pandemic, they were forced to stop production on theme parks, movie production, and live sports viewings, which were their three biggest sources of revenue. This led to them losing billions in profits and having to make major budget cuts across the board for many of their shows. However, this was also when streaming services started to really take off, giving people with limited cable a chance to view hundreds of shows for a relatively cheap price. Disney naturally decided to capitalize on this by migrating most of their cable shows to streaming to allow for more profit, including The Owl House, which performed notably better on Disney+ than it had on cable. So with the show being more serialized making it perfect for streaming services, along with streaming itself taking off due to the pandemic, would it not have made more sense to move it exclusively to Disney+? Why not rebrand it as a Disney+ Exclusive? Although the news for Season 3 was officially publicized on May 2021, the decision to shorten The Owl House would have been made when the time for its renewal was right around the corner, which was roughly halfway into production of the second season back in 2020. The show had just started airing its first season around this time, and the metrics they were getting from cable ratings (It hadn’t been officially added to Disney+ until late in 2020) told them that the show wasn’t particularly popular. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t that the ratings were bad by any means. But the show wasn’t quite reaching the highs of something like Big City Greens. Coupled with the fact The Owl House was greenlit as a Disney Channel show first and foremost, rebranding it to Disney+ would have meant renegotiating many contracts for a show that wasn’t looking to be particularly successful at the time. Arguments can be made that the risk would have been worth the reward with how popular the series is currently, but with the conundrum Disney was facing from the pandemic they likely decided it would be better to cut their losses and prematurely end the series. In Conclusion Since the initial news was announced, things have calmed down considerably for Disney. A lot of articles and statements have been released in that time detailing many of the things I’ve mentioned above, so people are much more aware of the circumstances behind the show’s shortening while the ones that aren’t have mostly died down. Disney has also recently begun to retract their statements regarding the Owl House’s popularity while Dana has also shown that she would be willing to work on spin-off material such as comics in the future, so more Owl House content isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Alas, only time will tell. For those that read through the whole thing, thanks for listening to the ramblings of an internet stranger on the silly show about owls and witches. Let me know anywhere I can improve in these writeups! I’d love to do this again for some other fandoms I’ve been a part of. Edit: Removed DuckTales from the list of episodic cartoons since I was told it actually was very serialized haha. submitted by /u/AssociationYellow788 to r/HobbyDrama [link] [comments]

[OC] Ranking all 30 Teams by Attractiveness
It is the offseason, my dudes, and you know what that means; low-effort shitposts! But this is not one of those. Actually, this took way too much time, but I was already too committed by the time I wanted to give up. But anyway, as the title implies, I'm going to be ranking each NBA team by how attractive on average their players are. If you want to just see the rankings of all the individual players, here's a google doc. Before I start, there's a few things I should get out of the way. First off, only players who were on the team at the end of the season counts. Any two-way player who played in at least 15 games for their team counted. Also, before you come at me saying "you fucking idiot there is no way x is more/less attractive than y", keep these two things in mind. First, this is all the opinion of a 16-year-old girl (so no, you can't call me gay). Also, pretty much all of these numbers are completely arbitrary and just the first number I thought of. The only number that really means anything is 5, which was that I had literally no opinion. So odds are if there's some egregious ranking that puts someone over someone else, I probably agree with you, but I'm too lazy to keep consistent. There's also a chance I fucked up my math because I'm a dumbass. So without further ado, onto the rankings. 30. Sacramento Kings- 4.80 avg Turns out, the Sacramento Kings are the ugliest group of players in the league. Frank Mason III (6.55) and Iman Shumpert (6.35) lead this team in looks, but it all goes downhill from there, with players like JaKarr Sampson (4.25), Nigel Hayes (4.15), De'Aaron Fox (4.00), Justin Jackson (3.95), and Kosta Koufos (2.90) really bring this team down. 29. Milwaukee Bucks- 4.93 avg Before I even thought about these rankings, I just assumed the Bucks would be the ugliest team in the league. And I was almost right. When Delly (6.15) is your second most attractive player, it can only get worse from there. The Bucks have some of the ugliest players in the league in Thon Maker and Tony Snell (3.75) and the ugliest in Tyler Zeller (1.25). 28. Brooklyn Nets- 4.97 avg With Nik Stauskas being the most attractive player (6.45), it's pretty bad in Brooklyn. Timofey Mozgov (4.00), Allen Crabbe (4.20), and pretty much the entire team are some ugly motherfuckers, and Joe Harris (6.35) and D'Angelo Russell (6.10) couldn't salvage them. 27. Atlanta Hawks- 5.04 avg Miles Plumlee (6.25) is the only player above a 6, and with 6 players all being sub-5 (with Taurean Prince at a 3.95), the Hawks are ugly as shit. Maybe that's why no one goes to their games. 26. Los Angeles Clippers- 5.05 avg I barely even knew anyone on the Clippers before doing this. Lou Williams (6.60) and DeAndre Jordan (6.35) are decent looking, but this team also has Boban (3.25). This team also has probably the most difficult to rank player on here. Milos Teodosic (5.50) has some pictures where he looks like a homeless man, but others where he looks like a really attractive homeless man. 25. Miami Heat- 5.07 avg I swear to God, looking at these Heat players I wasn't totally convinced they were real NBA players and not created 2k ones. Hassan Whiteside (6.70) is decent looking, and this team definitetly were saved from being really fucking ugly from that. The number of players over and under 5.00 are equal, but there's also a 3.05 Kelly Olynyk in there. 24, 23, 22, and 21. Toronto Raptors, New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers, and New York Knicks- 5.10 avg Yup, we have a 4-way tie. Starting off with the Raptors, no one on this team is really ugly, with C.J. Miles (4.75) and Pascal Siakam (4.45) being the ugliest players. The thing is, no one is really attractive, either, with Demar DeRozan (5.75) being the most attractive. The Pelicans have DeMarcus Cousins (7.95), and Anthony Davis (6.00), but things get messy after that. The Trail Blazers suffer from the same fate as the Raptors, with no one hideous, but no one really attractive (Wade Baldwin is the most attractive at a 5.95). Lastly, the Knicks got a couple of European cuties in Porzingis (7.05) and Enes Kanter (6.85), but Jarrett Jack (4.30), Joakim Noah (4.15), Michael Beasley (4.10), Troy Williams (4.05), and Ron Baker (4.00) completely kill them. 20. Orlando Magic- 5.20 avg Fuck I really don't know anyone on this team. Like, I haven't even heard of over half of these people. Vucevic (6.25) and Aaron Gordon (6.10) are both solid, but this team really suffers from a lack of really attractive players and also from just some below average guys like Shelvin Mack (4.80), Rodney Purvis (4.80), and Mo Speights (4.50). 19, 18, and 17. Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, and Phoenix Suns- 5.23 avg Another tie here. I didn't even realize the Rockets were one of the less attractive teams, but after Chris Paul (8.00) there's a pretty big drop off to Gerald Green (6.15) and Nene (5.55). Chris Paul really saved them, because a team with James Harden (4.70) and Zhou Qi (3.95) is just destined to fail. The Nuggets are yet another team without anyone really hideous, with Will Barton (4.70) being the ugliest, but at the same time Jamal Murray (6.40) wasn't enough to carry the team. Finishing off the 5.23s, besides Booker (7.05) and Tyson Chandler (6.25) they have a lot of guys hovering around average, with Dragan Bender (4.70) at the bottom. (Side note: I find Bender kinda cute, but in an ugly way, kinda like pugs). 16. Chicago Bulls- 5.24 avg Finishing off the below-NBA-average teams, my Chicago Bulls feature the love of my life Lauri Markkanen (7.60) and the technically more attractive Zach LaVine (7.65). Looking at the top, you wouldn't think that the Bulls would be that ugly, with guys like Kris Dunn (6.40) and Robin Lopez (6.15). There's some ugly pieces of shit on our team though, like Shrek (4.15) Cam Payne (4.00), Jerian Grant (3.85), and Omer Asik (3.80). 15. Detroit Pistons- 5.26 avg I assumed the Pistons would be really ugly. Turns out, I only assumed that because they're another one of those phantom teams where I only know what like 3 of the players look like. The team in general is pretty average, but Blake Griffin (7.35), Jon Leuer (6.10) and Andre Drummond (6.00) help bring up the average. Not only that, out of the 7 sub-5 players, only 2 are below 4.85, those being Henry Ellenson (4.75) and Anthony Tolliver (4.60). 14. Dallas Mavericks- 5.27 avg I kinda have a crush on Dirk (6.15) and I definitely ranked him too high, but fuck it. Maxi Kleber (6.35), DSJ (6.05), and J.J. Barea (5.60) don't have crazy high scores, but all the guys on this team are generally not-ugly enough so that even Salah Mejri (4.15) didn't completely kill this team. 13. Charlotte Hornets- 5.28 avg I'm actually pretty surprised by this. I actually probably messed up my math, but I'm too lazy to check it. I mean, can Kemba Walker (7.50) and Dwight Howard (7.10) really make up for the sins of Treveon Graham (4.65) and Frank Kaminsky (3.80)? I guess. 12. Minnesota Timberwolves- 5.32 avg No one is really ugly on this team. Cole Aldrich (4.95), Jamal Crawford (4.90), Marcus Georges-Hunt (4.90), and Tyus Jones (4.85) are the ugliest of them all. Throw in a D Rose (7.75) and you've got yourself a borderline top-10 team. 11. Indiana Pacers- 5.33 avg Much like the Timberwolves, the bottom players on this team aren't even that low, with Cory Joseph (4.95), Ike Anigbogu (4.95), Thaddeus Young (4.80), and T.J. Leaf (4.75) being the only below 5 players. On top of that, there's some pretty good looking guys on here as well, like Oladipo (6.55), Domantas Sabonis (6.35), and Lance Stephenson (5.85). 10. Memphis Grizzlies- 5.35 avg Kicking off the top 10 we have... the Memphis Grizzlies? I mean, sure. Whatever. Chandler Parsons (7.45) may suck at basketball now, but he's still got a pretty face. Mike Conley (7.15) is a lot more attractive than I realized, and Marc Gasol (6.05) and Kobi Simmons (6.00) aren't too bad looking themselves. 9. Washington Wizards- 5.36 avg John Wall (7.45) is a very attractive man. Kelly Oubre (6.40) is also attractive. Hey, would you look at that, Bradley Beal (6.25) and Markieff Morris (6.00) are also good looking. I don't really give a shit about the Wizards. 8. Oklahoma City Thunder- 5.38 avg Can I just get out the way that I fucking despise the Oklahoma City Thunder as a basketball team? Okay? Okay. But they are a very attractive team. "Playoff P" (still waiting to meet him) and Carmelo "Literal Trash Can" Anthony (7.95) make up for Raymond Felton (4.45) and Kyle Singler (4.40). Not Carmelo, Abrines (6.00) also helps contribute to this team's average. 7. Los Angeles Lakers- 5.41 avg Another team I didn't expect, the Lakers have some ugly ass players on their team. I just realized I forgot Alex Caruso, which definetely helped them out, because that hairline is an automatic 4.00. Anyway, there's some pretty unattractive guys on the team, like Ivica Zubac (4.40) and ROY Finalist Andre Ingram (4.65). But they also have the likes of Isaiah Thomas (7.55), Lonzo Ball (6.95), Slenderman (6.85) and Kuzma (5.95), who I just realized I ranked too high. This whole one I kinda fucked up. Y'all got lucky. 6. San Antonio Spurs- 5.42 avg I overrated Manu (6.55) because I'm madly in love with him, similar to how I overrated Dirk. Manu was fine when he was younger, but he's currently old enough to be my dad which is kinda weird I guess. Anyway, Kawhi (8.00) is what really takes this team over the top, but it's really a team effort, much like the real Spurs. Danny Green (5.75) and LaMarcus Aldridge (5.55) also add to this team average, and only 4 players are below 5, with Derrick White (4.75) being the lowest. 5. Philadelphia 76ers- 5.51 avg Kicking off the top 5, we have the Philadelphia 76ers. J.J. Redick (8.95) is hot as hell, Ben Simmons (7.00) doesn't look that much like the Mona Lisa, Joel Embiid (6.85) is good looking, and T.J. McConnell (6.70) is a cutie. If it weren't for RoCo (4.35) and Dario (3.45), this team would be even higher. 4. Boston Celtics- 5.71 avg I honestly considered including coaches just because Brad Stevens is such a DILF. But still, the Celtics are borderline top 3. I mean, how can a team with Gordon Hayward (8.75) be ugly? Have you seen that man? That glow up gives all ugly people (like me) hope. Throw in a Kyrie (8.00) with that smile, a Jayson Tatum (7.15), a Marcus Smart (6.80, don't @ me), Jaylen Brown (6.50), and, hell, even Al Horford (6.15) and you've got yourself a superteam. They got a few ugly sons of bitches holding them back, like Aron Baynes (4.30), Guerschon Yabusele (4.00), and Daniel Theis (4.00), but it's still not enough to keep them from being at the top of the attractiveness scale. 3. Utah Jazz- 5.75 avg Ricky Rubio (9.00) is one of the few men that can only be described with "beautiful". Raul Neto (7.45) is a Brazilian babe. Donovan Mitchell (7.15), Thabo Sefolosha (6.35), Rudy Gobert (6.15), and Jonas Jerebko (6.00) only add on to the beauty that is this Utah Jazz team. They do have Alec Burks (4.50) and Ekpe Udoh (4.40) but... Ricky Rubio. 2. Golden State Warriors- 5.80 avg For once, the Warriors aren't the best at something. Just like when it comes to actual basketball, their big 4 of Steph Curry (9.00), Klay Thompson (8.25), Kevin Durant (7.75), and Swaggy P (7.75) really make this team elite, not to mention Andre Iguodala (6.15). However, their weakness is in the center position, with Kevon Looney (4.30), Javale McGee (4.15), and Zaza Pachulia (4.00) killing the average. 1. Cleveland Cavaliers- 5.86 avg They couldn't get it done in the Finals, but the Cavs got the best of the Warriors when it comes to most attractive. Let's just get this out of the way; Kevin Wesley Love is gorgeous. I mean, just look at him. I gave him a 9.15, which I'm pretty sure is the highest I gave anyone, which may or may not be accurate. There's like 3 ugly people on this team. Ante Zizic and Jose Calderon (4.50) aren't even that ugly, but yeak Perk (4.00) is. Hell, there's barely even anyone average on this team. Korver (7.65). LeBron (7.00). JR (6.75). Cedi (6.35). TT (6.25). Y'all may have gotten swept, but at least you looked fine doing it. So there you have it. Please upvote this because I legitimately spent multiple hours for no reason on this. Also, feel free to argue with me in the comments I guess. EDIT: klay is not more attractive than kyrie and rubio is like a 9.5 but mistakes have already been mad EDIT 2: fuck me every part of this is wrong but there's always next year EDIT 3: i may or may not redo this submitted by /u/jordonkry to r/nba [link] [comments]
