November 17th.

Smart choice: It’ll spoil the hell out of Borderlands 2. (There’s a few references to The Pre-Sequel too, but nothing spoilery IMO.)

Did it at least come with the new controllers that let you use any 3.5mm headset with it? I’d rather have that than the proprietary plug and a pack-in headset...

“Low power” is relative. The Xbox One takes up something like 20W - and constantly spins the PSU fan, causing an audible whine - in “instant on” mode.

Five of those six are good choices. Iron Man 3 isn’t. It doesn’t have ties to any of the other games, and Age of Ultron ended up retconning the ending.

I don’t think three hours is an unreasonably long period of time to ask them to comment. Especially since it’s potentially after hours for their PR people, if they’re East Coast.

Sounds like it, but I’m not so sure. Each save file is 10 MB minimum. And some games like LittleBigPlanet 3 (Sony’s own title!) can have saves of half a gig or more.

I ended up buying a skinny Ikea Billy bookcase to hold my Skylanders, Amiibo, and Disney Infinity characters. Bought a bunch of these to organize them (although they were about 40% cheaper at the time), and the cases fit nicely inside it.

I like Amiibos as toys, but I just don’t think they make a very compelling video game accessory. They don’t really do much, compared to how the toys work in other games.

Does the main story restrict you to the characters that came with the starter, or can you play with any character you have? How about the level packs?

It depends on what the kid wants.

Statewide isn’t sufficiently granular; you’d need to limit it down to the city, if not even more stringent.

329? That seems high. As of Swap Force I had about 180, and Superchargers only has 30 or so once you include the in-game variants. That’d mean there were 110 Trap Team figures. Even with the traps that seems high.

Even if you have the figures, they won’t work in the other versions. You have to play on a Nintendo platform to use Bowser or Donkey Kong.

The Portal Master rank system isn’t new. I think it’s been around since Swap Force.

The average price will be wrong for everybody, and people will have no way to figure out what stuff will actually cost them. (Plus, with tax holidays in various locales, the average price could change mid-week.)

This is game #5; they dropped Spyro with game #2.

All the core ones (standard size) should work. I don’t think they’ve confirmed whether Giants, Swap Force, or Trap Masters will work - they’re all bigger than normal and wouldn’t fit in the vehicles.

The standard ones probably will, but I bet the dark ones will sell out still at full price.

There’s just too many special ones that I want (all three yarn Yoshis) for me to limit myself to one per character. But Nintendo letting the early ones go out of print before demand could be satisfied in the US has left me content to only get the ones I actually care about.
