Another thing to consider, especially when you’re talking about Japanese tournaments, are the rules regarding prize pots. From what I understand, Japanese tournaments can’t fund prize money with player entry fees because it would be considered “gambling”. So unless some sponsor ponies up a bunch of prize money,…

This is... highly unexpected. The IPs they’ve talked about so far make a certain amount of sense for mobile (Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem), but a Mario endless runner is a bit of a large jump and implies they’ve got quite a bit of confidence that the franchise can succeed on mobile.

Alright, I’ll bite. Not doing anything else right now, so I’m going to give explaining this a shot. Bear in mind that I play Melee competitively in my local scene, so while I own and play Smash 4, my knowledge of 4's competitive scene is more limited and mostly second-hand. My knowledge of the FGC at large is even…

We’re not in Boston anymore...

The irony of calling a game about friendship and mercy “evil” cannot be understated.

The absence of Kirby Air Ride is unacceptable. That game doesn’t get enough love.

Everybody’s robin, you say?

I’m such a sucker for ARGs, it’s a shame I’ve never actually had a shot at playing one of these big ones. I’m a big fan of games that can totally suck the player in, blurring the lines between reality and fiction or dumping you into a carefully constructed world with no information whatsoever (playing Riven as a kid…

This is amazing. It pulled up a “What Is Love” and remix just now. You sir have made my day.
