At this point, you can put in a random English word and it has a pretty good chance of being a Magic card name.

Perhaps you just don’t enjoy Smash Bros. (anymore)? I’ve been enjoying the hell out of its single player offerings, so much so that I’ve basically exhausted all there is to do. I’ve beaten every character’s Classic mode, finished World of Light, and obtained every single Spirit the game has. Now I’m starting to…

When you don’t have a headline, it’s now very difficult to click into the article. Clicking on the text doesn’t do it anymore.

Tim, apologies in advance if you’ve been asked and answered this question several times already, but what is that jaunty little ditty that plays at the end of so many of your recent videos?

I have to disagree on the font. When you have a game with pixelated graphics, but a smooth sans-serif font, it just looks awful to me. I’m very glad they went with the pixelated font here.

You may be right that I’ve overstated it, but “just the character designer” is underselling it quite a bit. The characters are what makes a game’s plot tick. They matter a lot.

Well the bad news is that he’s already the director of the Final Fantasy VII remake. The good news is that we can just write off the remake, since it will likely die in development and even if it comes out, will be an Action-RPG game.

He was just a character designer in the past. He is and has always been the director of the Kingdom Hearts games. He was also the director of Final Fantasy XV until they pulled him off the project (presumably so that it would get done someday). And he’s the director of the never-to-be-completed Final Fantasy VII…

Perhaps the headline was misleading. I think the actual point is: You can review Kingdom Hearts III, but doing so isn’t going to do anybody any good. If you’re a Kingdom Hearts fan, you’ll get the game. If you’re not, you probably won’t.

OK, now I’m not usually the type of person to complain about the occasional non-gaming article on a gaming blog. I mean, write whatever you want, and people will either read it or not, right?

I did not end up trying it, and thanks for sharing your experience. I think I’m going to pass on it. I’m just not nostalgic for this series (having never played it as a child) and it sounds like it doesn’t hold up without that nostalgia. Or it wouldn’t for me, anyway. I’m sure there are plenty of folks who like it…

I have no horse in the Peeps cereal race, but somehow it just makes me so happy to see you doing Snacktaku again, Mike. Thanks for this.

Smash Bros. Ultimate not a good match for those who primarily enjoy gaming alone? I beg to differ. I’ve gotten my money’s worth after playing through World of Light, getting almost every spirit, and beating most of the Classic Modes. It’s a fantastic single player value, contrasted with the Wii U version I barely…

Perhaps “Player” in the title should instead be “Hacker”? I mean yeah he’s a player too, but I wouldn’t write e.g. “Human discovers that Zelda has a minus world.” Would be nice to know right off the bat that you can’t access this content through playing the game.

I’d go back and finish Iconoclasts if I were you.

I will nitpick here and say that amiibo aren’t really toys-to-life. There are virtually no games where scanning an amiibo unlocks that character in a game. There’s Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge, and that’s it, right? For all other games, amiibo just unlock some other sort of extra content, often aesthetic. And…

Hmm, you have a point. I guess part of it is my own personal bias. I like Luigi, and have since I was a child. He was always my favorite of the Mario Bros. I don’t hate Waluigi, but I mean, I don’t play Mario sports games, so my only experience with him is in Mario Kart. And other than weight class, not much…

Mitsubishi and Farmer’s insurance have stuck with Carlson, The Daily Beast reports.

Today, we lament the exclusion of Luigi’s archnemesis, Waluigi.

OK, I’ll acknowledge that. Five to six years is still too long between announcement and release. Way too long.
