This reminds me that the 50 Shades of Grey series started as a Twilight fanfic, and then was rewritten with original characters... probably for similar reasons.

Why are so many games inventory management simulators? I get from a “realism” standpoint you can;t carry everything, but also from a “realism” standpoint you’re also not a space wizard fairy ninja

This feels like Sony wrote some marketing copy and Kotoku pasted into an “article”

What strikes me as odd about this is Nintendo met with the like a year ago, told them they wouldn’t shut them down if they just went through the licensing process, they failed to get the license in time (Smash World Tour wanted a much more complex global license rather than a more limited NOA license), and now…

So let me get this straight... Nintendo lawyers sit down with SWT TO’s a YEAR AGO to say “we want you to get a license to do this but as long as you do you’re okay,” SWT says “we’ll try,” later says “lulz this is hard we want to operate without a license for awhile,” Nintendo says “we never said you could do a…

If it’s a dude in a rubber Gundam suit, I’d watch that shit ALL DAY

Wasn’t this game’s economy already in disarray because gold was already too scarce, forcing people into a  trading and bartering economy?

First paragraph: “If you were hoping to visit Japan’s Gundam Cafés, you better do it soon, because early next year it looks like they’re all going to close”

Came here to say this. It’s just a clickbait title.

So David Bowie is canon in the Pixarverse

Best selling game in a nearly dead franchise coming out during a game drought for the highest selling current gen console, yes. Good to see people showing interest in the franchise! Also good to see older eShop versions selling well.
