Nintendo Direct 2/17 Trailers: Super Smash Bros, Mario Golf, Zelda, and More

It’s been quite a while since Nintendo has hosted a substantial Direct presentation that focuses on trailers and news for the biggest upcoming Switch games.

Hulk Smash! Costumed Avenger Destroys Donald Trump Walk of Fame Star

Forget red vs. blue, this is all about green vs. orange. A mysterious costumed avenger dressed as Marvel’s Hulk took a sledgehammer to Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Star, destroying it as surely as the President has destroyed America’s economy and standing on the world stage. The attack on the underserved monument to a man whose only previous claim to fame was being a racist landlord, fake rich dude, and host of a phony reality TV show happened at about 5 am PDT, only an hour or so after the President announced that he and the First Lady had…
