This is my favorite comment thread thus far for 2020 you just started, by the way.

Meanwhile, the Macross/Robotech live action universe remains dormant...

So they have Leroy mains? Is this like playing Hanzo in Overwatch? lol

Zero sucked. Next time though, you guys should try the first one. They have that remastered XBLA off the original N64 release. Remember that it has 2p co-op, 2p counter-op, and a multiplayer mode practically absolutely drowning in options. No game before or since has surpassed it, feature-wise. Which is pretty…

So what will happen to the property and licensing rights?

That’s a pretty smart way of saying we have a new outlet for jacking off. lol

The annoying part is when studios factor in crunch time to their project timelines. It’s like, so they are already planning to fail?

The premise at the time sounded more like an unused draft for a Sliders episode. And come to think of it, I wouldn’t mind a new Sliders show.

Extra polish = “This game is overflowing with bugs, and our dev team is on suicide watch trying to fix them. As we speak, they are plotting their revenge on their QA test teams.”

Mario Kart isn’t a real racing game.

2B’s butt is a work of digital modeling art to be enjoyed forever. Yoshi P thought he could get away with nerfing it, but Taro will not be denied his artistic integrity by the likes of Captain Naoki “Server Limitations” Yoshida.

I suppose it could have been worse. It could have been Ewoks with their Porg sidekicks riding those space horses., with space angel Leia and her Y-Wing bombers leading the way.

This reminds me. I think it may be time for Kotaku to run a poll, ranking all of the past, present, and future console names as of 2020. It’s been a while since we had a good old-fashioned system fanbase subjectivity war. lol

Too bad the Big 3 never went down the primal sports car naming route, like Atari’s Jaguar. I also thought “Katana” was a pretty dope project name by Sega. But then it seemed like the marketing folks stepped in after a bunch of focus testing and mucked them all up.

I remember when it looked like Nintendo was going to stick with Ultra 64, which I was all in on. Then when they announced the name change, I was kind of bummed. But I eventually didn’t care. N64 got easier on the brain over time, I suppose.

They should keep it simple, but as confusing. Like, “Xboxx”, “Xboxxx”, and “Xboxxxx”.

The Wii U name was more like Pii U.

I loved the sit-down version of those Star Wars cabinets more.

You know, this brings up another issue I’ve been having with some Nintendo games lately. And that is, in their run to keep things simple in order to quickly localize and release their games across multiple regions, their UI/UX approaches have increasingly been getting more and more sterile and unimaginative. Like say,…
