Also the alleged return of the Ice Climbers Some of my friend’s favorite pasttimes involve predicting and watchingSuper Smash Bros.reveals. I mean at this point any character could make it into the roster, and this latest rumor definitely has legs. Born out of Vergeben, who correctly predicted that the Ninja Turtles would make their way intoInjustice 2and that Gr0h would debut inSoul Calibur(among some misses from what Vergeben is calling “bad sources”), the newSmashon Switch could hostMetroid‘s Ridley,Castlevania‘s Simon Belmont, and could see the return of the Ice Climbers....

What a revitalized interest in dress-up means for the current state of gaming As far as gamer internet is concerned, there are three types of people:bunny girls,catgirls, andmaid boys. The former two have been around for a while; the top definition for “bunnygirl” on my favorite etymology site, Urban Dictionary, is from 2005 and the top definition for “catgirl” is from 2004.
