30 minutes and erasing thousands of years of culturally ingrained racial prejudices against anything non-Japanese.

As I explained to another commenter, the consumer’s mindset is very different when it comes to smartphones / tablets vs. gaming consoles. People think a $600 game console is way too fucking expensive despite the fact that it lasts 5-6 years before you upgrade to next gen, but many of them happily change phones and…

Of course. And they may manage it. Although I find it more likely to happen if they drop the price, or if they make a revision to make it cheaper. At its current $300 pricepoint, I don’t find it as easily manageable as it was with a $170 (or cheaper) 3DS.

Sorry, not understanding what you mean (even though I strongly feel like I should understand it). Explain, please.

That’s amazing and awesome. But I’d bet you guys are also the exception rather than the rule. In my house, I game, and my little kid game too, but we share our devices. Although I do intend to buy a new Switch for the kid down the road, I just haven’t done it yet.

You can add smartphones on top of that, while we’re at it. But the mentality of consumers when it comes to gaming consoles as opposed to smartphones and tablets is completely different. I always thought it was absurd that someone complained that a $500 game console was too expensive when many of them happily changed…

To be honest, I only spent $10 in a couple screen protectors at launch. Now, almost 2 years later, I also bought a nice stand for tabletop mode, which cost me another $10. I already had a nice tablet pouch that works perfectly for the Switch, and I haven’t felt the need to a pro controller so far, although I need to…

And sales didn’t really go up until after they slashed its price to $170, which was like 5 or 6 months after launch (don’t remember correctly). Meaning the 3DS has been at $170 or lower for the vast majority of its lifetime. Switch is still at $300, almost 2 years later (though admittedly, often with a digital game…

Anyone with a minimal knowledge of Smash’ history knew that Ultimate was going to sell like hotcakes. The people that laughed at what you said simply had no clue.

The Switch is currently priced at $300, so expecting multiple units per household like the 3DS or DS, which were sold at a much lower price, is, well... absurd.

You don’t know that. For what we know, the Wii U could’ve actually sold way worse than it already did if it weren’t for games like Smash 4, Splatoon, New Super Mario U, Mario Maker and Mario Kart 8.

I only care about Shakedown Hawaii, which was one of the very first indies shown for the Switch, coming in 2017... What happened to that? :(

Now let’s go to Photoshop and use the ol’ Blackify button:

The thing is, the Wii sold like hotcakes during its first 3 years on the market. They didn’t even need to make variations.

I got Platinum in Rock Band 2.

...so, if Charmander farts, isn’t there a risk of lighting its whole tail on fire?

What’s wrong with Kotaku’s comment section? I’ve been following that site since like 2005 or something like that, and have found that the commenters are, for the most part, pretty reasonable and enjoyable. Sure, you get your fair share of idiots, but that is true for any given website, especially one as massively…

Sorry, I lost you there. What real life events are you talking about? Journey to the West is a legend, dude, not something real. My point is simply that we shouldn’t be so quick to judge chinese cinema for basing their movies off something when western cinema, for the most part, does the same. Actually, most of the…

I don’t know about Carnival Games, but the Just Dance games aren’t excrement at all, they are very fun.

First: am I supposed to realize that the man who was directly responsible for World War 2, and the death of more than 50 million people as a result, including the purification of Germany by genocide of 6 million jews, is a bad man because he killed his dog?
