Fast RMX on launch. I Am Setsuna. Maybe Just Dance because I know that will get some love in my family. Soon, Disgaea 5, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2. Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Story of Seasons. Skyrim. Shin Megami Tensei, Fire Emblem Echoes, Stardew Valley. Those are all things I’d like to play, and now I can play them on…

OH NO THIS IS TERRIBLE NINTENDO IS DOOOOOOOOMED... Such a bad business decision, why would Nintendo want to tap into those trillions of dollars of casual touchscreen games?!?! So bad for consumers, now we have a machine that can play on TV or portable but ALSO may have some games that are portable only and may cost…

Thank you, Ethan! I keep saying exactly this, the neon Joy-Con are SO Nintendo. Nintendo can make you crazy with their business decisions and weird release schedules, but they are great at inspiring fun. Neon harlequin controllers go great with that. (Also, I still have that magenta GBC and a few games, including the…

At last, the beta version of the Matrix is here.

Yeah, it’s pretty much totally untrue. The Switch supports multiple types of SD cards in all conceivable sizes, the size of the game install quoted above is only for a digital purchase, and last but not least that “game” is in reality a bundle of two games.

Might be worth mentioning that 32GB is for two games, not one. It’s Dragon Quest Heroes I and II in a bundle. Saying there is a game too big for the internal storage before the system has even launched is clickbait for the LOLNINTENDOOM crowd. Saying there is a bundle too big sounds a bit more reasonable.

I love how Gal Gadot, the dark horse so many people were saying couldn’t possibly “be” Wonder Woman because she is too slim and can’t act and would totally wreck Batman v. Superman, turned out to be the one shining star in BvS, is just about the ONLY thing people are looking forward to in Justice League, and is well…

I’m pretty sure this is almost 100% about occupying shelf real estate in game stores. 3DS games take up too little space on the shelves, making the Nintendo section of the store seem pathetically small even though there are dozens of 3DS games present. If Switch used 3DS-sized cases Nintendo would just be swallowed…

Trufact, the first time I heard the term SJW, I thought it was meant as a compliment. I still own the term with pride. Like, in what mindset is fighting for social justice supposed to be a bad thing? Do people go around thinking “today I’m going to fight for social INjustice, gosh I’m so great!”?

To be fair, that’s not all everyone wanted. It may be what you and I wanted (I’ll be honest, I *love* smutty content in video games, don’t care what gender the characters are, SEXY COSTUMES FOR EEEEEVERYONE!!!) but there are a great many people who have always campaigned against sexiness in gaming and will continue to…

Sure you are, just like you can be a fan of Star Trek and not have watched any of the newer Treks. Some people just like the old stuff better. But I will say if you have a 3DS, you should give Awakening a shot. It’s got the new relationship stuff (which I personally enjoyed a lot) but it also has strategy in spades.…

Pro Tip: milk crates can be every kind of furniture you’ll ever need.

You are so right. This spot is 100% better for me for all the same reasons. March 3rd is officially “Switch Day” in my family due to my excitement about the system, and hell yeah my time is going to be divided between me playing Zelda and Skyrim on the little screen and intense Splatooning and MKing with my kids on…

You could totally turn that formula into the world’s greatest video game review show.

I’m constantly amazed that the Gamestop employees I usually deal with are actually good people who do a reasonable job of trying to upsell, cross-sell and recommend the warranties and preorders without being too pushy about it. So many times they’ve saved me money, been very helpful about tracking down games at…

Yeah, not one of these things will happen. I believe VC will be an important factor in the success of the Switch, though, as a lot of people want to play Gamecube games like F-Zero GX, Super Mario Sunshine, Wave Race, Smash Melee and Eternal Darkness. The Gamecube may not have been the huge success the N64 was, but it…

My daughter keeps telling me I have to watch this. Sounds like she’s onto something.

I’ll be totally honest, if I ever get elected POTUS the first thing I will ask is if we’ve ever really had a credible alien contact. That’s the one thing I wouldn’t blame Trump for doing. Unfortunately, I think the things he was actually inquiring about probably involved celebrity gossip or something equally petty.

Not part of this sale, but for two players you might want to try Patchwork, Hive or some flavor of Ascension. Patchwork and Hive are currently my favorite games to play with my kid - very simple games with plenty of depth. Both of them are in the $20 neighborhood.

I love how there are still people insisting that porting a title from 2011 is just another bonehead Ninty move, while Skyrim is actually coming out next week for Xbone and PS4 and there are legions of comments on every Website literally saying “portable Skyrim? DAY ONE PURCHASE.”
