Nintendo does screw up more when it comes to hardware, but maybe that’s because it’s the only company actually taking risks in that department. Each new piece of Nintendo hardware does something unique, and while that doesn’t always work out, it’s interesting that people will condemn Nintendo for trying to push the…

It seems like Miyamoto never lost the childlike sense of wonder and mischievousness.

People always say this, but there’s no evidence that it would actually be good for Nintendo. They are explicitly tied to their hardware. Their games are designed with it in mind, their philosophy for it lingers in every part. How well has Sega done after they took that route? How well has Atari done? Nintendo would…

I had a similar experience with Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario. I was at an event where Nintendo was not only showing off the new Mario Kart on DS, but they were doing it as this long, Arthurian-era table, with DS’s on either side all running the game . At the head, in an elevated king’s chair, there’s…

My friend always makes fun of (but also loves) the fact that whenever I play a game, I’m more likely to fuck around and lose in the interest of doing something entertaining and fun instead of try my best to get a grip and win the game.

That’s why the guy is a genius: he’s able to find joy in the simple things. He’s a grown-up with a child’s heart.

I also played against Miyamoto once. It was at a closed doors unveiling of New Super Mario Bros Wii, I believe. The first four player one. It was myself, two other journalists and the man, the myth the legend. He DECIMATED us and was not shy about throwing us into chasms and stealing power ups etc. It was hilarious…

Climbing and deep physics-based gameplay have changed the idea of how far an open-world game can go basically forever.

It’s no wonder that Miyamoto started playing Zelda and just began climbing trees.

Sure the night nurse was impressed, but what of the butler, chef and groundskeepers?!

Ed... ward...

of course it’s always lighting, what about FF6? they had good prentagonist.

Space Dandy is great, and worth the watch. The Dub came out the same day as the original Show, and is well done too.

It’s great and very fun, just don’t watch it looking for serious dialog or content.

It’s like the really over-the-top goofy parts of Cowboy Bebop mixed with the ridiculously varied alien life of Rick & Morty (the humor is nothing like R&M, just the crazy variety of weird and frequently gross alien life).

Space Dandy is definitively the shit. You will love it.

I wonder if he actually just means her breasts needed to look larger to better convey her embrace as being comforting?

Lesson of the day: don’t answer questions that haven’t been asked.

To simulate the thrill of permadeath from traditional Fire Emblem, I’m just going to smash my phone every time one of my characters dies.

Actually, I stand corrected - the PS4 isn’t even less than the Switch. It’s the same price. Whoops.
