I think your expectations are way too high. I expect Nintendo will say, “We have decided to exit the video game business to devote all our time to researching QAnon. We have emptied the bank accounts of everyone who ever bought a digital game from us. If you head to your living room now, you’ll find your Switch…

Uhm, Mario 3D World doesn’t take long to get you to credits roll, but if you want to fully finish it (i.e. get to Champion Road and beat it) it’ll take quite a bit.

I’m not criticising Nintendo for it at all! I’m saying I welcome their making shorter, more experimental games too.

There have always been politics in my Kotaku

Yep, same here. People are going to complain here about “PolItIcS iN mY kOtAkU” and whatnot, but I think it’s pretty interesting to learn they have an arcade at the President’s retreat. And not just an arcade, but they have Mario Kart machines? That’s pretty cool.

I thought it was 2000 total, so another 1400 after the 600 we already got?  And I for one am enjoying a news cycle that doesn’t run out of breath keeping up with our president’s bullshittery.  I’m going to bask in the honeymoon for another month or so before I start grinding my teeth over another Neoliberal-in-Chief.

The Covid relief bill was taken up in December AFTER the Presidential election. The debate was about $2,000 vs $600 not, $2600 vs $600

They walked their number down? Not sure if I follow, Democrats promised to pass a total of $2000 stimulus check. The same number the twice impeached orange man wanted. $600 was already given while Republicans were in power, the remaining $1400 is being worked on while also trying to pass it without the obstructionist…

I’m not sure where you’re getting that Nintendo is a small developer. Breath of the Wild had a staff of some 300 people. This is pretty much standard for AAA studios. For comparison, Skyrim was made by a team of approx. 100 people, and The Witcher 3 had an in-house team of 250 (Let’s ignore the fact that Cyberpunk…

The best part is they have another 120 ton prototype basically ready to go after they have reviewed the data from this test, and SN10 isn’t much farther behind that. They aren’t just testing a rocket they are testing an entire assembly line and manufacturing process for them

when it started the flip up maneuver at the end I literally shouted “holy shit, they’re gonna pull it off!” and then immediately laughed as hard as I have in a long time when it went RUD.

not out of scorn, but out of pure joy that they have the balls to approach this whole enterprise in such a fearless manner.  these…

*opening the glovebox

C’mon, the navy can’t possibly get any gayer than it already is.

Sadly doesn’t change the fact that the Tesla Model 3 has the moronic touch screen for everything. That’s what kills it for me - not going to drive a vehicle that requires losing focus from the road to operate basic functions. :(

“AP was not involved at all”

At which point they are out of your way. Win!

Doylestown you say?

A car shouldn’t define you, thats silly and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t quite get this whole “jalop” thing. Drive the thing that you need or want and nuts to what anyone else says. really like Pontiac W bodies? Great. need a dead reliable commuter? A regular car like a camry is totally fine. Find that a…

Hey guys,
