Same here. I went to Best Buy and saw that they had a handful of them on display in the front of the store at the beginning of January, so unless it just didn’t sell well they did a much better job of supplying stores in my area.

I’ve been waiting for the PC release. It blows that I’ll be missing this event. Oh well.

Okami just got a rerelease on PC/PS4/XB1 last month - it’s as good as I remember. Definitely play it if you guys haven’t already done so.

This is weird, right? Not so much because a swastika has become a popular symbol, but because it’s being used in the manner that it is rather than as a religious symbol.

Well Dragon Ball had previously acknowledged that non-Humans live on earth in the form of Giran the monster from the first tournament and Man-Wolf in the third.

I assumed Tien is the strongest after the Saiyans but isn’t the strongest human because he isn’t a human. The third eye and ability to sprout extra arms always led me to believe he was an alien.

Sorry, this card isn’t for sale.

The whole death squad and implication of a public execution should you fail a drug test aside, how does this regulation stack up against regulations for other sports? Do say baseball players face the same scrutiny in the Philippians? If this regulation is a sign of parity between sports and esports within the…

So they’re not discontinuing support on iPhone 5 so much as they’re discontinuing support on pre-iOS 11 devices then, right? It’s not so much about specific models of iPhone as it is about operating systems.

The popularity of anime girl gaming personalities makes me wonder why more mainsteam idols don’t make gaming videos or stream regularly, particularly those who are already known to be heavily into video games. Someone like Rena Matsui could pull in massive numbers given her popularity from being in both SKE48 and…

Yeah, Nintendogs and potential spinoffs seem like the most well suited of Nintendo’s IPs for microtransactions. Literally every new toy, accessory, and clothing item, including recurring items like food and shampoo are a potential point of sale. They can also expand on the concept to allow you to decorate the…

Yeah, Ana has some serious issues, especially on consoles. Her biggest issue isn’t that her heals are poor, it’s that they’re skill-based heals. Technically, IIRC, Ana has the fastest heals, assuming you can actually hit your shots. On PC this isn’t as big of an issue, but on console it’s unreliable.

If not the 15 million subscribers he already had, then certainly the 300+ thousand subscribers he gained since he started uploading the Japan videos approve of him.

For Rom-Coms check out My Love Story or Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun. The first is a super cute story about first love; it’s a shojo manga, but you’d hardly know it without being told. It has very wide appeal. The second is more straight comedy, but it stands among my favorite in the genre.

Spoiler alert, yes. People know the odds of winning the lottery from drawings to scratch-offs, and every casino game posts their odds as well, but people play anyway despite the abysmal probability of winning.

The amount of detail in those Warhammer models is insane considering the fact that I’ve never zoomed in far enough to for individual units to fill my screen. Also, I don’t know how anatomically accurate that last image is, but it’s pretty cool.

I swear to god, if slideshows become the norm on Kotaku I’ll stop using it.

It was already portable on the Vita.

I was thinking the same, but Wolf Children was far better received in the west than his other works. I don’t think any casual moviegoers in the US really know about The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - at that time he was still pretty unknown having only done Digimon like 5 years prior.

I don’t see a bill restricting the sale of games with this mechanic signing into law for the same reason that the California law banning the sale of violent video games to minors failed in 2011 - freedom of speech. Ultimately, video games are a protected form of artistic expression, and banning a mechanic is a…
