This comes up a lot in these kinds of articles, but it’s (mostly) not about Nintendo wanting to make more money off Earthbound. In many cases, these are active copyrights being used in unauthorized ways. Nintendo has a legal obligation to defend those copyrights or risk Mario and co. becoming public domain. That’s the…

I’ll donate my time for a chill and obvious no-frills run through of Journey and Abzu. Just need my airfare to Australia, lodging, meals, and incidentals covered. Call me. 

Did you play with friends? It’s a fairly crappy game if you aren’t playing with friends. I guess great games don’t need qualifiers but yeah I’d never want to play Monster Hunter solo. 

What are you basing that on? All that happened here was a case of bad wording. They only ever intended to announce new Xbone bundles but they got people excited about a new hardware announcement instead. Nothing here suggests that they’ll re-iterate on Xbox One for their next hardware release. In fact, that’d be a…

Lots of people think this but it’s actually pretty short-sighted. Nintendo sold people a fairly well-iterated piece of software with interactive instructions, a basic coding environment, and some admittedly shallow but interesting game experiences. And also cardboard.

Do you personally post this comic strip (that doesn’t need to be a comic strip) here every time free speech is even tangentially brought up or is that like a thing lots of people do? It’s a worthless comic strip, it’s not funny or witty and the graphics do nothing to advance the point. WHOA PLOT TWIST IT’S A DOOR! Just…

I hope this does like the Deadpool “test footage” and makes enough noise to jumpstart production. I have to think that’s the primary motivation for Fillion et al. to dump money into a short like this.

Took me six years (or so) of futile commenting in the greys to finally get a follow from Kotaku, so in a way the audition still exists, with the ability for unapproved people to chime in way down the line.

“according to an Itialian website reddit mentioned.”

One thing unchanged from last season: I still suck mightily at Fortnite. 

I can see your concern there, but on the flipside no one is saying “These ports of Skyrim, Doom, and Wolfenstein just don’t work on Switch. Give us Candy Crush.”

I’ve actually been talking to some of these guys in a call center as they’ve been trying their luck calling me a LOT lately. My initial intention was to be mean to them and give them the ol’ what-for but after a few minutes of wasting their time it becomes evident that most, if not all, of these people have a very…

Watching that video is like a fever dream. I haven’t played a FNAF since 2, and that only resembled it in the most basic ways. I had no idea what was going on beyond office, flashlight, and Fazbear mask. 

I wouldn’t say boob armor sells me a game but it’s never hurt either.

Unless Sony reverses course by the release date, you can be certain your PS4 account will remain locked to your PS4. Ask a Fortnite player all about it.

You must be new here. The Kotaku staff as well as the gaming media in general receive early review copies and typically finish a game before it’s released to the public in order to offer up relevant, timely reviews.

This is done in the Battle Royale side’s Playground Mode not the Save The World game. 

Ah that makes sense. Yeah, these are three of the best football players on Earth. Three of the seven best, inexplicably. 

Even in Japan, they really don’t get too adventurous with their Pokemon choices do they? 3 starters from Sun/Moon and 3 different Pikachus. Would it kill them to go with something cute but obscure like a Farfetch’d? I always liked that little guy.
