Internet cafes centered around gaming have been a thing for a long time now. The issue with them tended to be that they were insanely expensive, generally charging customers by the hour. But if you could afford the fees they were pretty cool. Usually hosting a few dozen gaming PCs loaded with all sorts of things you…

Honestly a coffee shop geared towards gamers, instead of work from “home” office folks, is somewhere I might actually hang out. I’m not sure GameStop is the brand I trust for this, but the idea has some merit at least.

I’d love for Starbucks to buy out Gamestop. They could reopen the stores as Starbucks cafes that also have game stations and sales. 

That’s absolutely brilliant. I’m a little extra nerded out since I spent 6 years in a shop as their primary wheel alignment technician (and that was 10 years ago when I quit already... time flies).

Nintendo has via it’s Directs proven that E3 is no longer the ‘must attend’ show for ages now. Honestly, for the cost of showing at E3, it does make more sense for all of the big three to simply put on smaller, more focused shows that will not only create more buzz for the games and consoles, but can be enjoyed by far…

Come on Brian, there are kids that read Kotaku.

Somehow it’s so much worse then I ever imagined.

Of course this would be a topic of discussion. Someone always has to find the littlest details to complain about and make it into an issue.

Good. Glad they are doing that. I hate it when people “review” movies they haven’t even watched. Let movies stand and fall on their own merit. I can’t adequately review a book I haven’t read (this book has too many pages and has an ugly typefont is a terrible review)- nor should I be able to review a movie I haven’t…

I’m a 6th grade teacher, so that would mean sharing with 60+ 12 year-olds.

Bring the boxes to work somebody will eat it. Just don’t bring Sour Patch and Dippin Dots that would be mean. I will probably eat the cinnamon toast crunch and try the pop tarts. The others flavors probably not thanks for taking one for the team.  

Agreed. I actually loved how obscure the cast was. It reminded me Tekka man existed after vaguely remembering bits and pieces from watching the dub at 6:00 am Saturday on some buried local channel. 

TvC doesn’t get enough respect. It lives in the Street Fighter x Tekken rung of fighting games to me. If it wasn’t a Wii exclusive, I think it could have made a bigger splash, even if some people do blame the failure on Tatsunoko, because most westerners aren’t irredeemable weebs like me who recognize those characters.

…

Rival Schools was awesome. I wish some characters ended up in Street Fighter. 

it had tekkaman blade, aka technoman slade for those of us who watched UPN’s saturday morning cartoon line up

The system did, but third party games DID NOT, except in a very few cases (like the complete excrement series of Carnival Games or Just Dance).

Tatsunoko vs Capcom is on my list for one of the best fighting games I’ve ever played. I consider it a true sequel to the Marvel vs Capcom series in terms of mechanics and pure ridiculousness of the cast.

Did I mention that the game only released on the Wii?

what’s your point? 

Pretty sure its the same for every fighting game tournament ever
