Friend Code Ep 34 - Main Topic Vote (Patreon)

Unfortunately, the news for Nintendo since the Direct has been non-existent. We already covered the online stuff to death and no much more to say on that, and I don't think any of us have put any time into Dragalia Lost (or at least, I've had no time to try it out, so I can't lead a discussion about it). Other than that, there's a new trademark for Monpoké that we have no idea about, and that's really it.

So I have three ideas for us to do on this week's episode, which will feature Bosman and Brad as the two panelists joining me. Please vote on which you'd like us to cover.

Rank the Original 3 Super Mario Bros:

We will rank Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3 after answering Patron submitted questions challenging us to defend/argue the quality of each game, and then after we will individually assign a score to various categories for each game. The games are then ranked by the averages of their scores.

React to Bowsette Fan Art (SFW)

After seeing that Nintendo officially considered the notion of a Peach Bowser in concept form (according to the Official Super Mario Odyssey art book), we'll collect a bunch of SFW Bowsette (and related) art and critique/discuss if we think they could make the cut as an official character in the Mario universe. For that, we'll be using the Miyamoto Scale, which is how likely it would be for Miyamoto to allow the character into the Mario series. We'll take Patron submitted questions on Bowsette to sprinkle in between each piece of art.

Rate Your Theoretical Nintendo Achievement/Trophy

There are some who want Nintendo to finally embrace achievements/trophies. So we want to know what type of Trophy/Achievement you'd come up with for your favorite Nintendo games. This can go all the way back to the start of Nintendo's video game endeavors up until the most recent Switch and Mobile releases. We'll give you our thoughts on if they're good enough to make the cut, but also come to a consensus on how rare of an accomplishment it would be. Patron submitted ideas only, though each of the panelist will share at least one idea they have and the other two will rank it.

I'm opening this up to everyone as the podcast is not just Patreon only, but the question/idea submissions will still be reserved for 5 dollar and up Patrons.

L&R,
