“Guys, why is it taking so long for the character designers at Blizzard to come up with a compelling black woman we can play as?”

I’ve never been a big musou fan but the Zelda/FE/Dragon Quest-flavored iterations really won me over with their gameplay.

I mean, last I checked, that Final Fantasy IX Netflix series is still in the works.

I started Kingdom Hearts as a teenager. I am now 33.

Are you telling me the Classified Information department at Nintendo Power didn’t actually have a team of elite covert operatives engaging in high-risk espionage missions to secure me the latest codes for my favorite Super Nintendo games?
