Lost in the blinding whiteness of the tundraaaaaaaaa

I bought it at launch and I’m playing it for the first time. So no. (Loving it BTW)

I really loved Child of Light. Amazing soundtrack; charming visuals; touching story; engrossing combat system. One of my favorite Wii U titles. I hope Ubisoft supports more unique titles like this in the future.

I’m in the TV-docked mode most of the time camp. I only play handheld when I’m traveling. But I do love the term Switch-hitter Chris; you should get Kotaku to print up some T-shirts xD

I’m more excited about that last photo, as I played that very machine at Barcade when I visited New York last month.

The Super Famicom and PAL Super NES are so, SO much better-looking than the North American SNES. What was Nintendo of America thinking?

Ahh that’s right, it was a pack-in game with the console, wasn’t it. Thanks!

Great article, Chris, but I am curious where you came up with the $100 - $200 figure for Mario’s Tennis. I’m a collector and I paid about $10 for a copy earlier this year, although that was for the cart and manual only, no box. I wouldn’t pay more than $50 for it CIB, unless it’s sealed / unopened (I couldn’t tell…

Tim, please keep reviewing all the games

I got Mario + Rabbids. This is honestly the first internet quiz I ever took with results that I can agree with!

This doesn’t make any sense, but it doesn’t appear to be a joke... some overzealous lawyer probably made them add it. Unless the cartridge is made of flammable material and contains some kind of overclocking coprocessor that can generate copious amounts of heat, I don’t believe it’s possible for an SNES to catch fire…

Don’t knock Ys Seven - it’s been 14 YEARS since the last main series release in that franchise! That’s Duke Nukem-level development hell right there

It’s not just stores. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft will not allow any publisher to release an AO-rated game on any of their platforms. Only two console games have ever received an AO rating: GTA San Andreas and Thrill Kill, in both cases after risque content was discovered post-release and subsequently fixed in later…

I quit backing crowdfunded games after Mighty No. 9. I find they typically don’t meet my expectations. Reading other commenters, I see this trailer is actually consistent with what many expected, so I do hope they get what they paid for

Agreed. I enjoyed the book in the same way I enjoy a mindless action flick or an objectively bad but addictive video game. I read it for a light summer activity a few years ago, not because I was expecting the next Gravity’s Rainbow. I’m sure the movie will be terrible too, in much the same way as the film…

The DeLorean, by the way, is based on the real one Cline actually drives. It was displayed at Classic Game Fest in Austin, Texas last month. It is literally a mish-mash of 1980s pop culture. Note the ECTO license plates, MR. FUSION in the back, and a Nintendo Power Glove in the dashboard.

Like most Rangers fans, I have gone through all the emotions over the last 48 hours.
The window has slammed shut, and I fear they are back to being a mediocre / bad team for the next several years. I hope I’m wrong.

They did, and the stadium reporter interviewed him and made him Fan of the Game.
We’re the same franchise that built a statue in honor of the guy Josh Hamilton killed during a game.

FWIW, later in the game the stadium reporter interviewed the kid and his family, and they made him the “Fan of the Game” with a take-home bag of Rangers swag.

Better than nothing? No, it isn’t. It’s ludicrous, idiotic, and very, very Nintendo.
