In Mario Party, minigame descriptions treat being eliminated merely as being out of the game, except for Bumper Balls, which drastically shifts the tone by stating the winner is the last one left alive. This implies that while other minigames might be for fun, Bumper Balls is to the death.
![In Mario Party, the descriptions for minigames involving characters being hurt or eliminated use neutral language, such as characters being "knocked off" or "poked", and the winner being "the last one standing". However, the tone shifts drastically for Bumper Balls, the Mini-Game Island description of which states that the winner is the "last one alive".

Game Rules
Ride on your ball and bump the others into the ocean.
Clear the game by being the last one alive.]

I had some music playing in the background while I was messing around in Luigi's Mansion, and I had to recreate something that made me nearly piss myself using the speed up function on Dolphin
“wahhhh i can’t get wifi on my train so i can’t send teams messages and sit in meetings annoying everyone” fuck you. bring a nintendo switch and play pokemon like a real adult
All this retro handheld talk has me digging out some old systems. Kind of wild that they're selling for more than retail but I guess that's everything nowadays. I didn't play much on the system so time to start rediscovering!
I cried like a fucking baby. This game ferried me through a break-up, a cross country move, my kitten growing into cat, and was a beacon for growing our community. I wasn't able to experience this game as a child; but it will forever be special to me. See ya'll for Majora's Mask. 💚
i love this image but i HATE searching for it because i PRAY i do not see another kind of “Donkey Kong Cock Blast”

reminder that nopon shitposting predates any sort of xenoblade fandom this is the save data icon for the original wii release of xenoblade 1 this proud tradition was started by nintendo themselves
I’m low-key starting to miss those ads where an animation YouTuber would try to convince you to download league of legends or smth via a fun animation/animated skit They were significantly better than constantly Google Gemini AI ads
