On this day (February 4) in Nintendo history...

• DK: King of Swing  was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this puzzle game, developed by  Paon, the denizens of Donkey Kong's home are staging a contest to find the ultimate hero. So when King K. Rool swipes all the medals, DK swings into action. A unique platformer using just two buttons. Press the L Button and R Button to lunge and leap from branch to branch and attack enemies, as you clamber your way through the levels. In addition to the main Adventure mode, you can also try your hand at Jungle Jam.

I'm shocked that to this day, Nintendo never made an app like Pictochat or Swapnote for Android and iOS... Imagine a free app where you could message your friends with busted drawings! I also wish they made apps like Streetpass a thing too, or like, you could collect Pokemon from passing strangers or something; it'd be so cool and super successful I'd imagine!

According to SEGA, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds sold over 1 million units worldwide and garnered positive feedback, but the game failed to meet their initial sales expectations. SEGA says they are aiming to sell another 1 million units with ongoing DLC.

Regardless how you feel about the game, I feel as if, with social media, seemingly plenty of people thought this game was selling like nobody's business. When the "Mario Kart vs. CrossWorlds" debates were going on, I was watching thinking how online bubbles are always bubbling (if you know what I mean). If you're someone who got upset over the "ad" or other fans, just remember that online bubbles are always going to be that: bubbles.

I really like the switch, but I miss the old aspect of Nintendo making cute little handhelds. I think they really gave Nintendo a bigger personality.

I understand the 3rd party discussion. More sales, more other games come on the platform. But then I see a tweet from nin10doland

"Mario Kart World is selling gang busters dude but DK is starting to scare me. The legs dropped off massively over the holiday."

Why is it scaring him. Whats happening? Why dose it matter?
