KoopaTV's End of Content Notice
I hope you haven't missed this notice published on KoopaTV's 10-year anniversary. Unlike most of the other years where we just pat ourselves on the shell, this anniversary article provided valuable information: KoopaTV will stop publishing new content after July 3, 2023 (which will be the June 2023 review newsletter linked at the bottom of this very article once it exists). For reasoning on why, read that article and then come back here.
Top Five Recommended Experiences of May 2023
This was a very tough thing to just pick only FIVE of the MANY amazing KoopaTV articles published in May 2023. Here is my chronologically ordered attempt:
- True, the Advance Wars Trilogy's Story isn't Serious — FAKE NEWS Kotaku evaluated Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp based on something it wasn't trying to be. In fairness to them (and because it's an issue KoopaTV cares about), we evaluated their evaluation.
- KoopaTV's Failed Attempt at Building THE MIGHTY BOWSER — Ludwig and Witch Princess attempted to build the LEGO set The Mighty Bowser in front of the Koopa King himself. As our review reveals, it didn't work out as planned.
- The Surprising Similarities Between Sticker Star and Breath of the Wild — The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was built on the foundation that Paper Mario: Sticker Star created. This article goes into great depth about it.
- The Mighty Bowser VERSUS The Bootleg Bowser — This meme-filled article compares the costly but high-quality The Mighty Bowser LEGO set with the cheaper but bootlegged Bowser brick sets you can buy online.
- Ash Ketchum Failed His Torterra as a Pokémon Trainer — For KoopaTV's final World Turtle Day article, we discuss that twerp Ash Ketchum and how he was a terrible Pokémon Trainer for his Torkoal, Grotle, and Torterra.
Everything on KoopaTV is worth reading! Even if it's not in this top five (or prior newsletters’ top fives), you ought to still check it out!
Best Three Comments and One Worst Comment of May 2023
Was the user-generated content as good to check out as the staff-created content? Let's see what you all came up with for commentary on our commentary.
- “" Do you believe the units in Advance Wars are actual people that are just being killed off ruthlessly?"
Well, Re-Boot Camp makes them look like toys but the toys may be just figurines on a map for strategists to plan out the next move and there are actual units fighting elsewhere based on the moves of the toys.
Maybe there is a chance the Rivals mission and the training missions by Rachel to Jake and Jess and Javier's test mission and Grimm and Sensei's test mission are only the toys on a map aspect if Wayforward ever makes a remake for Dual Strike.” — ShinyGirafarig - “I approve of discrediting these 'journalist' losers any opportunity possible since the term has little meaning now because of them.” — C.Mechayoshi
- “Ah, I think it's a common misconception you've fallen victim to re: stepping on a LEGO brick. From what I understand, it doesn't actually KILL you, it just hurts so much it makes you WISH you were dead.” — Lheticus Videre

Hm... Save allied lives... that means lives would have to be in danger of being lost. |
I wonder if I'll have enough time (or material) in June to trash so-called “journalists” again. I'm grateful that I at least have the opportunity for tomorrow's article (if I indeed stick to my plans) will at least feature another of my absolute favourite article genres. Elsewhere, C.Mechayoshi has remarked that KoopaTV refrains from fake journalism, and I appreciate that sentiment as well.
Speaking of real news, it's good that Lheticus Videre cleared the air on the lethality rates of LEGO brick stepping. While it doesn't seem like it would be fatal, I still wouldn't want to try it, so I'll take his word on it.
Just in time before May 2023 ended, here is the worst comment made:

KoopaTV Loyalty Rewards Program Round 50 Mid-Round Leaderboard

- Captain Stitch — 40 points

Corrections Corner; May 2023
ShinyGirafarig caught a mistake just in time for this month's publication. I incorrectly described Humpback Pump Track as a returning game, not a returning stage, in Splatoon 3. I believe I put so much effort into trying to write Humpback Pump Track correctly (I keep writing Jumpback) that I got everything else wrong.
