I think the erratic motion controls might be behind us since the Joy-Cons use accelerometers and gyroscopes for motion controls rather than a sensor bar (just like most smartphones use).

The key to getting more 3rd party support is A) the system selling well and B) 3rd party games selling well. The weak sales of the Wii U definitely hurt 3rd party interest in Nintendo but I will be interested to see how sales play out through the end of this year. There already have been reports of 1+ million…

Well, thanks to a Nintendo executive’s twitter, we know in Japan the online service is gonna cost about 2,000-3,000 yen a year, which (I think) is about $17 - $27 a year. So at least we know the cost of the service (just not what that money includes)

I mean, what other stones will you adorn your jewelry with?

Agreed. As a support main, a good Genji that constantly gets into the back line feels like bashing your head against a wall of death that NONE OF YOUR TEAMMATES WANT TO HELP GET RID OF

Since it has been well established that Kotaku is an Overwatch fan site, who is your least favorite hero to play against?

Origins always get the short shaft when it comes to the Arkham games because in many people’s minds, it not being made by Rocksteady makes it not cannon to the rest of the games (which might be true, who knows). However I really enjoyed Origins because it’s story stuck out the most for me. That playable section where…

We don’t know if he is the first, we just know that he is the first to find it and record it. Since at the very least it was a very well kept secret, it is notable that this guy found it because it changes what it means to complete the game now, which is a big deal if you are a speedrunner who does complete runs of…

If you can, I recommend you find X-Men Legends II and give it a try. It was a very good game that the studio (Ravencraft I think?) did right before making the Ultimate Alliance games. The formula is essentially the same across the four games they did, but I always found Legends II to be the peak of the series

If I’m not mistaken, isn’t Shovel Knight Treasure Trove (which includes the new specter knight campaign) a launch title as well?

It can become somewhat of a stalemate in OW but I still think its pretty fun. Playing a fast hero and getting the flag is great, and even stopping a hard push from the enemy team is fun too imho

It does not actually. There is a dev update video talking about Capture the Flag in Overwatch and Kaplan goes into a lot of detail about how it isn’t really balanced because the balancing they tried to do made it not enjoyable.

So at first, I was a little torn about how to feel about this. I’m not sure we should cheer on violence against and individual we disagree with. Then I thought two things: 1- if you are going to talk about genocide of other races, you should know you are setting yourself up for this. 2- I’d be totally cool with…

Yeah I tried to to get email notifications from Amazon when they were out early Friday morning but ended up getting in a pre order later during the day. However I never got an email to say it was back in stock and only got one thanks to obsessively checking the page

Unless you are enticed by any launch title, there is none. The comment was merely stating that to all viewers who went “there’s no games for it!!!”, there could easily be more news on the horizon. However I imagine that Nintendo will release more launch/launch window titles as we get closer to launch in order to keep…

There will almost certainly be at least 3rd party cases for the switch when you un-dock it. I can easily see a company like Nerf making some super durable cases like they do for 3 and 2 DS’s

Honestly with all of the delays the game had, I feel as though the only delay that might be because of the new console development would be the last one (from this past Christmas till final release in March). I really think they took a lot of time to fix the game to make it both run better and be just a better game.…

Oh okay I guess he got the black one then

I literally can’t star that gif enough. Too amazing
