Cat[girl]urday: Long Live Bowsette!

Image
Due to my love of Nekomimis I have decided to post something catgirl related each week! It maybe cute. It maybe sexy. It may even be a bit disturbing... Bowsette would be OP! -Art by crazypen The day has come. Nintendo has officially tried to make Bowsette non-canon. The Big N updated the description of the Super Crown to read “When Toadette finds one of these, she can transform into the Super-powered Peachette. (Sorry Luigi-only Toadette can use this item!)”. Although many people are saddened by this news many saw it coming. Even though Nintendo has made some sly references to questionable memes in the past (like Doc Louis telling Little Mac "After you win son, I feel like taking a ride on your bike!") Nintendo is not touching Bowsette. In many ways, this is a good thing. Part of the reason Bowsette has become as big as she has is because of the vague nature of her concept. As with other fandoms, like Kantai Collection and Touhou fans, get to uses their ima...

Innovate or Alienate

Image from Sony It is hard to believe that Spider-Man comes out this Friday! I was lucky enough to find a Limited Edition PS4 still available to preorder a few weeks back. When gyro controls were added to the Switch version of Fortnight people started to request them on the PS4. I forgot the PS3 and PS4 had gyros. For the most part, I have sat this generation out and have not touched a PS4. I started looking into the controller more and started looking into games that use its unique features. It seems like not many games use the gyro, touchpad, speaker, etc. This makes me wonder what it takes to innovate game controllers and hardware. Nintendo has taken more drastic steps in the past with systems like the Wii. The motion controllers were so different developers had to makes games just for them. The drawbacks were clear and it was one of the reasons not many 3 rd party games were ported. Even the Switch has many of its function left underutilized like the depth sensor and H...

Cat[girl]urday: Pure Platinum

Due to my love of Nekomimis, I have decided to post something catgirl related each week! It may be cute. It may be sexy. It may even be a bit disturbing... -Art by dodo The Witch is back and this time she is on the Switch! Bayonetta 1 & 2 came out on the Nintendo Switch last week and after replaying the first game I am finally ready for the second. The developer Platinum Games is known for the work they did for Capcom before they parted ways with the company. They worked on games like Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Viewtiful Joe, and Okami. The cheeky developers even snuck in some references to these games. According to Did You Know Gaming the trail left behind by Bayonetta when she runs in panther form is based on the flower trail Amaterasu leaves behind in Okami. I take it Bayonetta is a fan of Black Panther and Okami! So what do you think?
