In a bizarre twist, here’s a thing I hadn’t blamed on Nomura that I actually should have.

In case it’s not clear, $40 is the normal price for this game. So this isn’t a sale so much as it is an advertisement. Which is fine, just trying to make sure we’re all on the same page here.

I don’t think it’s Nintendo’s fault in this case. I blame Zack for calling it a demo, when in reality it’s a network test. I don’t believe Nintendo has been calling it a demo.

Dude, for niche games, if you don’t preorder them, you’re sometimes not getting them at all. And if you preordered it, might as well pick it up on launch day.

Zack, I agree that corporate consolidation sucks, but boy are you being alarmist.

Video games aren’t the only entertainment industry in the PIF’s sites.

Not only Mario Golf Super Rush, but Mario Tennis Aces also got a bunch of free DLC, didn’t it? I think it’s a reasonably safe bet that Strikers gets free DLC characters down the road.

It is super rare for these Indie World presentations to give updates on already-announced games. They’re almost exclusively new announcements of games that are coming to Switch. Everybody who got their hopes up for news about Silksong or Sports Story (including me) should have known better.

*pushes glasses up nose* Um, actually, Final Fantasy VII’s combat wasn’t turn-based. It used the Active Time Battle System that had been in place since Final Fantasy IV.

Oh man, Paladin’s Quest. Presumably named to capitalize off of Final Fantasy IV’s success. In Japan it was called Lennus, and it had a sequel. Lennus 2 has a fan translation patch, if you’re interested in trying it out.

Wow, that animation is…not good.

Either you get incredibly heavy use out of it or you’re really unlucky. I had one Pro Controller start drifting very soon after I started using it and no amount of cleaning would help. My other two Pro Controllers, one of which is much older, still work perfectly.

Yes. I’ve tried it myself recently and it works a treat. Obviously not all Joy-con drift is caused by this issue, but I think the majority of it is. And Joy-cons that are manufactured these days have a shim already installed to help prevent drift.

I haven’t seen/listened to/experienced Critical Role, but even before reading the subtitle of the article, my first thought was, “That sure is a bunch of white people.”

Perhaps the success of a console makes them enough money to pay lawyers to do this. But I think it’s more likely just a coincidence.

Some idiot paid millions for it, but does that make it “worth millions”? I’m honestly not sure I know the answer. I guess it’s all just semantics. Still, my gut tells me that NFT isn’t worth millions.

The key word there is “moments”.

You misspelled “Dominic Armato”.

I’m actually hoping that Pirates of The Caribbean is far enough back in the rearview mirror that Monkey Island movies could finally be a thing.

Admittedly I don’t play video games online much. But following this through to its logical conclusion, it sounds bad? Like imagine that you’re playing an online game and you have access to a button that plays a Troy Baker voice clip for all players, or all players near you. How long until that gets old, not just for…
