Man, I’m on Ninty’s side on this, but this gotta be the most ridiculous “I’m not a fanboy, but...” fanboy post ever.

you guys sure like posting these articles with pictures of women in bikinis, ya know? like, how many posts are we doing with this as the massive header image the moment we log into kotaku? maybe some other image if we are not jsut trying to get clicks off of hot girls in bikinis and actually want to talk about twitch…

I’ve been lightly following the hot tub controversy, but I didn’t understand the real debate until today: Swimwear isn’t allowed on streams, but if you just put a kiddie pool in your room and stream, you are now in an “appropriate setting” and can wear a bikini despite not really being significantly different than…

please stop posting this woman’s tits

they didn’t have to.

My editor thought of the very good joke “despawn the police” once it was too late for me to add it, so please enjoy it as a reward for looking at the comments.

yea I read Final Battle straight away and thought the problem was with how hard it is to read the word “interstice”, but that would would be true with any font really.

yea i had to squint real hard to turn that Fi in to a Square looking A , perhaps vision quality plays a factor here to ?

I think mostly what this suggests is that Hideaki Anno doesn’t really care about the difference between a robot or a cyborg or an artificially-grown humanoid fighting machine cloned from your dead mother’s DNA. To him, the phrase “robot anime” encompasses a larger genre of “big machine, boy pilot” stories, and in that…

Can’t find Sephiroth version, so this will have to do for now.

Sammmmeee. That was fascinating to hear. It was also adorable to have him specify the frame counts for a couple of attacks and then catch himself, saying “oh wait, I shouldn’t say stuff like this, I’m making a party game” and the crew laughing. The man’s a treasure.

Yup, here it is. 

No no, this is okay. This is basically treating Seph as an unlockable character, as was the case for almost all of the original roster. Unlocking fighters is a core part of Smash that the DLC releases have forgotten about, so I appreciate this throwback.

It’s a damn shame they are calling this a ‘remake’ after we’ve seen Demon’s Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, and FF7r. Like, fuck this thing.

actually, there is an incentive. repeat business. a legitimate customer who got a console will return to said business again in the future for other purchases. a scalper deprives the business of this business relation. they sold a product but they lost a chance at creating a business relation with a customer. so, yes.…

Nintendo seems to be getting more and more litigious these days...

Its more a case of rights holders looking for new ways to sell the same thing over and over again.

Are people really so opposed to watching old shows in 4:3?

So he's.... beating that meat?
