On the 22nd of August, Kotaku welcomed Heather Alexandra to our ranks. On Kotaku, Heather’s been producing…
The subtext of Mario Run is that the NX will fundamentally interact with their mobile games. There is no chance they compete against themselves.
I’m quite certain the feeling would be mutual.
THAT’S the lesson you think people should have learned? Go fuck yourself.
Toeing the line between camaraderie and fierce competition is near-impossible, especially in fighting games…
Yeah. So there have been a few iterations of that. We used to have a monitor that showed the top stories in terms of concurrent readers as calculated by Chartbeat. It would pull from the stories at any of our company’s sites, so you’d see Kotaku stories up there changing spots with io9 stories, Gizmodo stories,…
If we are forced to use review scores, we now have the perfect formula for it!

Surprise! Kentucky Route Zero Act IV is now available on PC, Mac, and Linux. Check out the (admittedly weird) trailer above.
So like, I get that Miyomoto is easy to blame (and partially the culprit) for these sorts of overarching decisions you and a loud minority of people always post about. But it’s a hackneyed and kneejerk response to blame him for all these design iterations. (I don’t mean to single you out, but I read these comments all…
Look for “tegotae” to be the new quote attached to every single Facebook Miyomoto graphic for years to come.
In defense of Mario & Luigi:
hmmmmmmmm, though it’s sort of adorable to imagine a version of me that would stop doing something simply because my boyfriend wanted me to, that’s not what happened here.
Years ago, I helped Abigail Fishers get into college in Texas. That was my job: I “tutored” entitled teenagers…
