This. The entire planet is recovering from an economy-shakiny, near-million dead plague. Like...fuckin’ chill, nerds. Yes, it does suck when companies announce games years and years and years before they’re ready but also just...relax.

Who promised you 4K?

On one hand, yeah Nintendo has gotten by for a while with only incremental upgrades that aren’t anywhere close to its competition and people keep buying them. But on the other hand, you had no reason to expect that Nintendo would add 4K or a newer processor or anything else, people getting mad or upset at Nintendo for…

These videos are often used as autoplaying ads on social media feeds. People typically like watching movie trailers (at least, compared to other kinds of ads) so by having the trailer video scream “THIS IS A MOVIE TRAILER!” at the start, it’s that much more likely that someone scrolling through their feed will notice…

“We have less money than our rival” is certainly a strange attempt at a burn. 

I think the inclusion of anime characters in promotional material of a longstanding athletic.... thing is a little weird.

81 characters is a pretty fucking insane number to hit. How does one scroll through that character selection process, and afterwards still think “Man, where’s Dante? This roster is lacking!”.

I feel like those Mii characters/costumes are a way to say:
“We hear you, we love you, but, sorry peeps, it is out of my reach to add it as a character; take this small gift instead.”

Hey, Kotaku. I’ve been in the video game industry for 12 years and have been following your blog as my favorite video game news source since, I believe, before that. I love what you do and think your voice is very important. You advocate for progressive ideals, call out things that others won’t, and generally say what…

My personal defense of the Mii Fighters is wow, this game has 80 fighters and still managed to cram in 50 skins for all these other popular characters to at least give their fans some content? That’s ming boggling!

I’d beg anyone to do better . Smash Ultimate is already the largest roster, and arguably accomplishment, in all of fighting games. I get that it sucks when you see so many characters added in, but not the on you’re fighting for, but it’s not possible to add everything.  Just enjoy what’s there.

As a Jew I am... incredibly tired of Poland’s bullshit.

And if it’s not obvious enough, Tyler is also someone who should not be saying anti-Asian racial slurs.

And yet, in the absence of this interview, the review for this show would include some snarky comment about how the rich kids need their privilege checked this time around.

I thought the same thing. Even besides the obvious Hades issue, that’s a Marvel Thor rip, with the trimmed beard, red cape, silver armor etc. 

I’ll be amazed if this game makes it to release. There is way too much resemblance to Hades from art style to gameplay mechanics. And if it is just a reskin, that definitely would be copyright infringement.

That Thor looks like a Marvel-style Thor, so Marvel might take action too.

He probably could’ve phrased it better, but I agree with the underlying sentiment 100%. It’s absurd that every male friendship gets distorted into a potential gay relationship, even when there’s no evidence beyond the relationship being just a male friendship. Happens with female friendships, too (see, e.g.,…

“You fucking idiots, excited about my game that was announced 4 years ago! How dare you use the internet to speculate! Why don’t you just forget about it until we’re ready?!”

Or...just wait until you’re ready to announce it? Then no one has to forget, speculate, complain or behave like the kind of fucking idiot who is…
