So the facial animations aren’t done yet. Big whoop.

Because that’s what League battle is for. Ranked is meant to be a random match thing you can just jump into but still more objective driven than the simple Turf War.

Samantha Bee had a piece on this exact thing last week. TLDR: Bannon used to have a World of Warcraft gold farming website. He noticed a lot of simmering resentment there he thought he could channel:

The irony is though that SFV’s lore, in NOT having a single player arcade mode, has a much more solid canon than the older games. While the old games offered a lot of alternate outcomes depending on who you’re playing the game through as, all of SFV’s character story modes are canon and the “Cinematic Story” from…

Obviously, matches against your own team do not count towards winning. The side that has the majority (the US was a lot more skewed towards Ketchup than EU and JP), has already won the popularity vote, and only needs to win either the Solo or Team category to take the Splatfest.

Is your suggestion they should charge for bugfixes instead?

That is utter nonsense. Nintendo has no interest whatsoever in Switch shortages. The faster they can push out the hardware into customers’ waiting hands the more software they can sell, and the bigger market share they can grab, leading to more 3rd party support.

Yeah I am a roller guy. I always encourage the rest of the team to storm ahead while I sort out the backyard

That Woody comparison GIF makes Kingdom Hearts look awfully wooden, pardon the pun. No life in those eyes at all. Hope that was just an unflattering shot, as the technical aspects (model, textures, etc) look spot on.

Well, while the Rush attack in ARMs certainly CAN be used for comebacks, the meter isn’t built by taking damage, but by playing aggressively and attacking. It is more akin to the EX/Critical Art bar in SF V than the V-Trigger or Ultra Combos in SF IV. Building meter quickly and then pressuring your opponent while he…

The first Splatoon had a suprisingly solid single player story mode with some of the most fun Boss fights, I’ve played in a shooter, The final boss especially is a treat, checking you on every skill the game taught you.

Well Nintendo would have to nuke it anyway to protect the trademark from commercial infringement.

True in the sense you’re tied by backwards compatibility. On the other hand, 3rd party developers HATE generation changes. DEV costs jump, and the install base gets nuked into the ground, so a 3rd party developer really has very little incentive to craft games that truly take advantage of a hardware early in the…

You can’t compare the prices of Microsoft’s Surface line with their Xbox division. Surface products are designed to be flagship Windows machines, showing off what Windows can do and open up new hardware fields for their partners like ASUS, HP, etc.
Xbox will continue to be priced aggressively to compete with Sony and…

That’s the thing though, Scorpio isn’t exactly the “end” of a hardware generation followed by an incompatible successor like we are used to seeing. MS is moving towards iterative hardware full force, the Scorpio of today will be their base model in two years or so, with the next Xbox fully compatible to old Xbox One…

Yeah the flicker was pretty bad. It was the PAL version as well, so only 50 interlaced frames instead of 60. I’d imagine it would only “swap sides” 25 times a second (since it had to wait for the 2nd interlaced frame before it could switch).

I had the Segascope 3D glasses as a kid. I only ever had Space Harrier 3D to use them with, but it gave the game a whole new feel.

They are stress-testing the servers. By only having these one-hour slots, they concentrate the players to the same times, being able to gauge how the servers handle high loads.

Short answer: No.

Except Level 5 is not Nintendo. They want as many sales as possible for the new Layton game, and with the 3DS having a much MUCH larger install base than a fresh new system, they can sell more there. Level 5's priority is game sales, not Switch system install base.
