I truly and sincerely hope that before Sakurai retires, he gets to make a few more games that are not Super Smash Bros.

Pretty bold of them to open pre-orders for a game that (supposedly) comes out in 8 months and the only time we’ve seen it, it looked like a concept demo that barely ran on the hardware.

Pokemon almost never announces stuff at Nintendo’s show. Historically, if a Pokemon game has been featured in a major Nintendo Direct, it’s just been gameplay footage of an already-announced title.

I know everyone makes the “when you picture a scalper you always picture a particular guy” joke but goddamn these guys look like they’re the slightly imperfect clones of some scalping supervillain.

Spoiler: Pikachu got off scot-free but during the investigation the police discovered the [flower tile][glitchy upside down 7] Rare Candies Ash had in his bag and arrested him.

Anybody else read the headline as:

There are optional gyro controls, yes. Joycons and Pro Controller. Handheld and docked. 

Funny thing is, in Japan the “A”/”Do this” button on Playstation is Circle. So I think its just a matter of Western vs Eastern button layouts.

“Let’s make a console that primarily appeals to people who grew up playing old video games, but pack in a controller that absolutely fucks with people who grew up playing old video games.”

You sure about that? Because I am literally looking at the “Top Grossing” section of the Play Store right now and of the Top 50 games listed more than half of them are gacha games, have major gacha elements or are straight-up casino/gambling simulators.

Mashima’s really planning on spending the rest of his career changing Natsu and Lucy’s hair and cashing the check, huh?

Depends on your defnition of “play”.

If you do a straight comparison, you’ll notice that nothing was actually taken from Minish Cap, but it seriously looks like it very well could be!

Better play it extra safe and just ban any member of the human species- the most infamous hate group of all.

I still feel like this movie is the result of someone wishing on a monkey paw for more female Marvel heroes to get a solo feature length film.

The Oddworld games are such a mystery to me. They just seem to maintain this constant presence in the video game world despite the fact that I’ve never met a single human who has any strong feelings about the games and I’ve never seen a physical copy outside of a clearance bin.

But then there’s FFII Advance which while not ideal, can at least be fun, especially if you like anime training arc or Isekai tropes.

I see, FFX is turning 20. What a convenient excuse to replay it for the six billionth time.

Imagine if the mechagodzilla stuff was all an elaborate misdirection so nobody would suspect a Jet Jaguar cameo.

A thrilling look at some of the games featured in next year's $15 bargain bins.
