The Mario Maker relay race was so much fun to watch! I love watching extremely skilled speed runners get thrown into levels having no idea whats in store for them and figuring out what to do

I’m actually really interested in how people perceive the heroes that are canonically from their own countries. I never really thought about how Russians might feel about Zarya being possibly gay. I would love to see more articles like this discussing the cultural impacts of these character’s designs. It was an…

And my zapper!

I really want to root for the underdog here. I really do. But this entire situation just screams “Con” to me. I think that guy knows he took some of the assets and is trying to make a big fuss over big bad Activision hurting the poor small developer in order to drum up support and mask the legitimate claims, which is…

I remember seeing that on Twitter yesterday and thinking how freaking savage that was. The Sonic official twitter is no joke one of my favorite things to follow because of how edgy/out there it is for an official company mascot twitter page. Whenever a page that is essentially a company advertisement can make fun of…

I was coming here to say the exact same thing. Nothing like hanging by the pool and blasting some DKC 2 action!

The play-set restrictions almost seem to be symbolic of the restrictions the creative team in terms of what toys/characters they could create. I sat next to a person who did licensing for Disney on a plane a year ago and he talked about some of these issues. Even for in house projects like this, the sheer number of…

I absolutely loved how every character got a decent amount of screen time and got to (at least partially) explain their motivations. We also finally got a Clint Barton who makes jokes and quips other than just kinda stays in the corner for most of the movie, which I definitely loved. The new Spidey suit also got the…

I mean in 2014 we got DKC: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta (1&2), and Smash Bros. In 2015, we got Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (a fun albeit easier game), Mario Party 10, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Yoshi’s Wooly World, and Xenoblade Chronicles X. That is a pretty good selection. 2014 and…

And Jimmy Olsen wasn’t brutally murdered!

I think the way it works is the more popular the level is, the more likely it is to be featured in a 100 Mario Challenge. However my only basis for this is that my most played levels are getting way more plays per day than some of the levels that have relatively few plays so take this with a grain of salt

My college friends and I all recently got into Civ V (thanks to Steam sales and the recent Firaxis Humble Bundle) and we are all enjoying the heck out of it! Whenever we hang out, at least one of us is always playing Civ!

I absolutely love NSP! Glad to see you guys at Kotaku agree!

I would legit love that rabbit. His dialogue is usually pretty fantastic

Just because its the final Smash dedicated presentation doesn’t mean we will stop getting updates. They’ve released maps and Mii costumes without having presentations for them. I might just be being optimistic here but lets hope they keep releasing more updates!

Can you play online between the two consoles?

I agree with that. I (who owns both versions because Nintendo owns my soul) would even be fine with the Ice Climbers just for Wii U. To offset the addition, they could always add a 3DS exclusive character as well

Sakurai said that they had a working version of the Ice Climbers on the Wii U version but the 3DS hardware just couldn’t handle them. The team wanted the rosters to be the same so they dropped the Ice Climbers from the game.

Maybe they finally got Ice Climbers to work on 3DS with the new 3DS update! Maybe Shovel Knight is gonna dig his way in! Maybe we’ll see King K. Rool cannonball his way into smash! Maybe Nintendo is slowly brainwashing us because of Smash bros!! *insert insane person gif here*

That’s only mildly terrifying
