"...doesn't have two-step verification—a security method that lets you use an e-mail address or phone as an extra form of protection from account theft—which in 2015 is just unacceptable. Xbox Live has it. "

You are simply incorrect. No Dynasty Warriors game has ever asked you to defend a person or point by summoning monsters in a tower defense like set up. Not even Hyrule Warriors. Also, please note that MP attacks and super attacks are not the same thing.

Partick, when you use the term "seriously" we assume that you literally mean "seriously." Therefore, are you implying that it literally behooves Nintendo to turn their historically profitable family-friendly line of mascots into a mob of bloody, flesh-eating infected?

id say PS1 controllers due to lack of sticks...

I think we can put our differences aside. For science. You pocket monster.

Then by all means, please do your best to explain Magnemite/Magneton, Grimer/Muk, Voltorb/Electrode (which may well be the laziest design ever made), Exeggcute/Exeggutor, Mr. Mime/Jynx (which are literally just charicatures of people), Ditto, or Porygon (who looks like a goddamn toy duck). Just to name the more…

Please enlighten me in your not childish self-entitlement, where should I buy the game (not used)?

when you find out which company rightfully deserves his $2.50 let kotaku know so they can finish the article and he can mail out a check.

George Washington called to comment on the Amiibo situation. He says he hasn't seen so much scalping since the French & Indian War.

Wow it's almost like Nintendo doesn't WANT to sell things and make money. =(

They're forgetting the current model of pre-order DLC where it becomes impossible to get the whole game unless you pre-order from 5 different stores.

"For more casual bystanders, though, there's a touch of the absurd to it. It already felt too soon when Tobey Macguire's Spider-Man movies — the last of which was only in 2007! — was rebooted in 2012 with a new story and a new actor (Andrew Garfield)."

As long as it's not on Steam.

Forming a team of four Transformers characters from throughout franchise history and participating in online turn-based battles? Transformers: Battle Tactics had me written all over it. Then I dropped $20 on... well, nothing much.

You're just contrarian by nature. If I said I hated smallpox, you'd be right there with a artsy image of the disease cavorting with unicorns.
