The costs for hardware aren’t too bad at all, but -every- SNES game released? That’s a shit-ton of royalties that have to be paid. Plus uploading all of those games, maintaining servers, etc. The NES Classic was something easy to do, as it wasn’t likely hard to find 30 games for it while keeping royalty payments…

Kids are fucking weird.

Animals have magic powers and can be stored in a PC, obviously logic and the laws of physics of our world don’t apply.

Anger is what created this result. It pushes both sides further apart when they need to work together.

What is there to spoil in a Pokemon game? It’s the same formula EVERY TIME.

Laptop model, OS, desktop layout, pants, coat, hand, location and time of day the photo was taken, all of those put together can easily identify a person, especially if your co-workers know you well enough.

And everyone who now comes and says “That’s how the gaming industry works, you can’t do it any other way” and the other usual bullshit, please be reminded of this study published last year in The Lancet

It’s a video game, everyone needs to settle it down just a bit.

I think this is the best Kotaku article I’ve read all year.

Thanks for writing this, Kevin. Believe it or not, I was in the same graduating class as Naomi, and we shared classes during primary education. (Shout out to Mr. Eads, our amazing 4th grade teacher!) I was also a regular NP subscriber during those years and you can only imagine my surprise and awe when her first…

I totally remember those! I haven’t thought about her work in years!

I had one of my drawings featured in NP once, and my little brother (who was about 4 or 5 at the time) had crazy good Mario Kart lap that was featured on some kind of High Scores section. Nintendo Power was a great magazine in its day.

In a sense, Nintendo is still indirectly motivating kids and young people to draw and hone their artistic skills, through Miiverse. Both the 3DS and Wii U’s Miiverse communities are chock full of pretty talented artists drawing all kinds of awesome stuff. I’m fairly sure many of these artists spend far more time…

What a fantastic subject for an article (and, obviously, the article itself is great). I’m sure I remember seeing every single one of the submissions you featured - Things I’ve long forgotten but are instantly recognizable.

So a few anecdotes about a some young adults fucking is how you determine that Disney is single-handily responsible for STD outbreaks in CA and FL? GTFO with that bullshit. Idiots on the internet. What other ridiculous bullshit are you going to share? I can’t wait to laugh at that as well.

This isn’t how it’s done at all. You start with the trim and then fill in the main areas. I bet she didn’t even thoroughly stir the paint beforehand.

“The closeted perv has never come out as gay”

Because he very well may not be; being a child predator /= gay. Abusive sex is about power, not identity.

you are wrong.

Looks equally as shitty.

Just because someone says it’s parody does not automatically make it a parody. There is actually a description in copyright law that covers what is fair use.
