@alexolney.co.uk Whenever there is a Pokemon Presents coming up, I get highly amused thinking it'll get these kinds of responses out of you.

I wonder what the likelihood is that I could write off 'new monitor' as a business expense and buy myself a big lizard.

I like your thinking, but the spirit of Doshin is about 4% gameplay, 23% soundtrack, and 63% weirdness that I don't think Pikmin could quite encapsulate.

If #Pikmin5 lets you commandeer with a whistle a normal-sized, tribal human armed with a shovel or hoe or other yard tool for combat who absolutely towers over the Captain and their Pikmin, does that count as a spiritual successor to #DoshinTheGiant?

The box for the Switch 2 release of Indiana Jones and the Big Circle.

The box for the Switch 2 release of Indiana Jones and the Big Circle.

The fact that Indy is getting a full card release and Oblivion and Fallout are codes in a box (not even Game Key Cards) smells like Machine Games may have put their foot down.

No evidence to support this whatsoever.

I recommend celebrating by putting a Wii U in an Ouya.

I feel like I'm preaching to the choir on Bluesky of all places, but watch this video now.

Lying shouldn't be acceptable.

Nor should taking bribes.

Or kowtowing to big companies.

Or marginalising innocent people.

Or murdering them.

Or sexual assault.

Or sexual assault on a child.

When the hell did any of these things become a matter of contention?

Shout out to the dream where you find that whole other half of your house you forgot about and you decide to finally utilise all the extra space.

I hate it.

The idea of a Direct happening soon isn't the issue, it's the laundry list of hypothetical releases that shouldn't be taken without a pinch of salt.

As for 'clearing the table', since when has Nintendo ever given a toss if an announcement for one of its games is 'small'?

28.01.2026 10:23 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Quite a lot of people seem to be taking these Direct rumours entirely at face value. I had sort of hoped said people would have grown to be a bit more cautious and sceptical, but here we are ๐Ÿคท

I understand the hype, I understand the want, but rumours are just that, and can be made by anyone.
