Oh I think the oldies station now plays ‘90s music.

Spanfeller has told Kotaku they will deprioritize news and spend most of their time on guides. Jen, the EIC, resigned in protest.

This is a bummer but what would be cool is if Kotaku could be done with Jim Spanfeller, a man who is both an herb and hilariously bad at his job.

I haven’t watched it yet but it would have to be a hell of an episode to make up for the rest of the meandering, wishy-washy season so far.

Ha ha, that’s cute. My 5-year-old has been getting into some SNES and Game Boy games via the Switch Online apps but I’m not sure what he’d think if I showed him my SNES cartridges.

A major thing to remember is these nostalgia items don’t get popular until the right group of people are at the age that they want to start collecting them again. We’re just getting into the disc-based systems over the last five or ten years. I don’t do a lot of collecting but from what I’ve seen 16-bit games are…

These are some pretty good Mario spinoffs but the real Game Boy games I want them to release on Switch Online are Super Mario Land (weird game!), Donkey Kong ‘94 (excellent game!) and Super Mario Bros. DX (weird port of a good game but also a port that I find fascinating!)

Saying “Waluigi should get a standalone game” is like saying “Sony should re-release Morbius in theaters after it flopped the first time.”

making Atlus’s move to sell a nearly 20-year old expansion an abjectly gross one.

I mean that’s a dumb litmus test but it’s especially dumb when you’re talking about Final Fantasy and Halo, two series that are not nearly as popular as they used to be.

oh so one of these

yeah why would somebody who did a review of a game and have to provide raw images & video for future articles and videos have tons of screenshots and videoclips of the game

Sure but at the same time “where is [character]?” followed by “She’s elsewhere!” also sounds like a stock line for explaining why a character hasn’t been present so who knows.

Speaking of Keyes... where the hell is is Miranda? I’d assume they just wrote her out of the series but, like, Olive Gray is listed as a member of the main cast for season 2. (At least, it’s listed here on the season 2 reveal over at Halo Waypoint: https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/silver-debrief-season-2-reveal )

I mean he didn’t die on screen for the same reason we don’t see Louis get blown up on screen: too expensive.

Well, “let’s forget the key plot points and cliffhangers from the last thing” has been par for the course with each of the 343-made Halo games so maybe they’re just trying to be true to the most recent entries?

Amen, brother.

I mean, I definitely wouldn’t complain. Nintendo mostly has Next Level Games (the developer of the Wii game) doing updated ports of games they previously worked on so it’s not like it would be an unusual request for them anyway.

They’re referring to the idea of a household in which the TV is shared, but not the PS5.

I wish the free trial worked like any other free-to-play game, because once you own a version of the game you’re locked out of the trial.
