Day after tomorrow is the Nintendo Direct.
It looks as if they are dedicating everything to Smash Bros.
So, will Simon Belmont make it in?

If not Simon at least Alucard (I think he is a character that started in Castlevania and got popular as the son of Dracula from there on?) or Maybe Soma Cruz (Cuz while Dracula would be cool, he didn't originate from the games but from a novel,
and smash should stay at least game exclusive, but Considering Soma is the reincarnation of Dracula with more powers than Link, Mario and probably Samus combined (just let that sink in real quick. that's a LOT of powers) there is a lot of possibilities there), or Shanoa

I’d give anything for a 3D Sonic game with Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) styled gameplay, but done properly.
Maybe fill it to the brim with those beautiful CGI Cutscenes and a Story that’s simple, fun, and does Justice to Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Tails, Knuckles, and all the other characters.

I hate Life is Strange.
I hate the Story and I hate the characters.
The Dialogue makes George Lucas look good at writing dialogue in comparison.
I know, you don't necessarily have to have a great narrative in order to have a great game, but with a game type like this... I think you actually have to focus on the narrative, as that is what the game is mostly about. When you focus on narrative, and fail horrendously, It really hurts in these types of games.
If I ever direct and write a video game that's heavily narrative focused, then at least I know what not to do. But It will probably be action-Adventure anyway, with third person shooting mechanics and impractical overly flashy swordplay.

I believe I just explained it, but I guess i need to go into more detail.
Chloe is in general a character I hate so much. Maxine is a weak protagonist with no structure or depth.
The characters are all stereotypes. It would be enjoyable if this was a parody and the stereotypes were used for comedy, but apparently they are 100% serious about this. This makes me feel worse.
The Hipster theme that this game gives off makes me feel... horrible. It's an unrealistic depiction of high school, and as someone who just got out of high school, I hate it. It's unrelatable, and It's insulting.
A personal gripe that I have is that for some reason, Max is the only one with special powers. In order to make a narrative like this interesting, for me personally, you have to give some other characters a special power or something, so that they have the ability to stand up to the main character, or work alongside the MC as an equal.
And, of course, the dialogue. This was probably written by a bunch of 40 year olds who thought they knew how teenagers talk. It's not the worst part of the game: That award goes to all of the characters. But It's a major criticism, and I completely understand why.

I remember Nullmetal Alchemist. I liked it as a teenager. But Watching it again as an adult, I get a lot more of the jokes and the videos seem a lot more entertaining now. Too bad we won't get an episode 13.
"Honestly, Just tell one group it's a sin to eat on a Sunday, then tell the other it's all you can eat kebab day. And just like that, Instant Chaos!". The sad thing is that it's kind true. It was truer in past medieval times, but it's still true today.
The Abridged Series is more faithful to the messages of the original than the Live action movie. Just think about that for a moment.

Some people say we need more Robots in Smash Bros.
But we've got both Daisy and Ridley, what more could you want?

I tried to play Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.
As someone whose first RPG was Pokemon Red, I can say that Mystic Quest is not a good way to introduce people to turn based RPGs. Pokemon Red may be glitchy and broken by today's standards, but it still does the job of being an introduction to RPGs well. It's simple, and kids will get it, but the depth is there if you really care about it.
I think turn-based RPGs are an acquired taste, and not everyone is going to have as much fun as me in scrolling through a menu and choosing attacks. Mystic Quest is not a good way to gain that acquired taste.
Pokemon Red led the way for bigger things, Like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasies 1-10 (But especially 7, since I played that one as a child on a PS2, and it remains my favorite). I don't think anyone would be interested in turn-based RPGs after playing Mystic Quest. And that's a shame.

Ye Mystic Quest was... bad and really just made to sorta of "pander" at the Western Market cause at the time Japan more or less was like 'Aw... they suck at video games. Let's give them this so they can try." cause if l recall Mystic Quest wasn't even released in Japan. ~~might be thinking of a different JRPG but l'm pretty sure it was Mystic Quest.~~
About the only time l've seen someone willingly play Mystic Quest... is for Speedrunning LOL -
@Hukuna the Undying I just played it so that I could see "The most insulting JRPG ever created" for myself.
Apparently, the original game came with a strategy guide, because Japan thought that lowly of us.
