Zippo's Nonsensical Ramblings and Other Stuff

Hey, thank you for taking time out of your day to read and keep up with the blog. Let me provide an update on some stuff going on: -Part 2 of the Nintendo/E3 article will be out this week. I'll be bringing some friends/guests on to give some predictions about Nintendo's Direct next week and a few other things. Please look forward to it!  -I'm looking at making a Megaman article, taking a look at where the franchise is headed for it's 35th anniversary.   -I'll have updated article on the Adventure remakes  soon. Still waiting on a couple pieces of info. -I've been talking to a few buddies about a podcast. Let me know if that's something you want to see. -I'll be going into other topics when E3 is all said and done. Such as film, the MCU, animation, anime, etc. -I'm open to requests for things people want me to look into.   (Oh, and yes, getting those Ws on Thursday, a mere seven hours after those self-righteous pricks who don't read DMs that happe...

Well well. What do we have here? Told you so.  It's back .   And I promise you that I'm not shitting you. It was thought to be impossible, but it's coming. There will be some changes, though. More soon. Update 05/21/21:  More details, as promised: -There will indeed be changes done to the music. It appears to be the beta music that was originally intended. Don't expect ANY  the songs that MJ and Buxer worked on to return. This is going to be a divisive decision for many in the community, but many need to understand that this is how it had to be, in order to get the game re-released.  -Angel Island, Hydro City and Marble Garden should be fine.  -This deal over the music was finalized early in 2020.  -They're now allowed to use Sonic 3 in promotional materials again, which is why the Sonic 3 Tiger game system got a re-release last year. -Can"t get into the full legal logistics today, but there was a changing of the guard at the Jackson estate in 2018, an...

Finally, I promised this article awhile ago, it's time to finally get this going, as I said, this isn't going become a Sonic blog, I promise! lmao. While we're still waiting for announcements from SEGA on that... Let's get on to a much bigger player here, Nintendo. I decided to wait on the article a bit longer because I was curious to see how sales would turn out, and unsurprisingly, the usual suspects have become even bigger juggernauts, with no signs of slowing down. Mario Kart has remained the king of Nintendo sales, and I'll be elaborating on it's future a bit below, I'll also give  bit of what I know about BOTW2, but it's nothing most haven't heard already. 2021 is what I consider to be a pretty crazy year for Nintendo. They've handled this pandemic in particular just about as well as they could have, and the fruits of their resilience this year is already showing. This year is packed with quality and quantity. To specify what I mean by 2019...
