What blows my mind is everything they announced BEFORE the presentation. In the last month we got a “micro-Direct” with new games like Chibi Robo and an Amiibo announced for it, a new Dr. mario game they could have waited a couple weeks for and released immediately after the show, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is…

I’m pretty stunned by how bad Nintendo was at E3 this year. Last year was amazing. This year was literally painful. Seems safe to say they’re front-loading things for the NX, or really banking on getting everything out by late 2016 to prepare for the death of the Wii U. I don’t even. I’m genuinely disappointed.

Every time someone uses the internet to post something stupid that would have taken an extra 15 seconds to actually research the truth behind, I’m puzzled. It baffles me that with a world of information literally at our fingertips so many people could still be so wilfully ignorant.

Unless they went gender neutral, I seem to recall the start of Ocarina cursing him for being a “lazy boy.” And I imagine tons of other gendered pronouns as well. Not to mention the Goron obsession with manhood that Link contends with in Ocarina. That’s all to say I don’t know that they’ve ever been all that subtle…

Considering I have a low-spec PC, this is amazing news, as I can actually test games I want out instead of having to be afraid they’ll run like trash on my computer and have wasted my money. I do think the window could be pretty safely reduced to a single hour, however, and this would welcome people not to simply get…

Won a match by only .2% at one point. This definitely gives me cause to wonder how the winner was selected. I’m guessing in the case of actual matches the team with more overall points gets the win, but still.

And thank God for that, too. I don’t like Let’s Play content but generally love his Squirty Play series.

Thank God for Jim Fucking Sterling, Son!

I can’t agree enough with this sentiment.

I used the standard blaster and only needed to walk backwards, shoot rollers, and then cover the ground they just covered immediately thereafter. If anything, I found them the easiest to deal with 9/10 times. One round there were 4 blasters versus 4 rollers and we destroyed them. They have virtually zero range, and…

I’d been noticing on the civic center LCD sign that there was something about LoL happening here about now in Tallahassee.... I’m guessing that this is it? I can’t imagine what watching eSports live would be like, and while part of me is curious, I’m simply not interested enough in things like LoL to check it out.…

I remember the one time I said anything construably bad about Kojima. I wish you the best of luck checking your comments in the coming days.... His fans are rabid in their defense of him against ANY criticism. I loved the first MGS, but nothing since has caught my interest, honestly. It felt increasingly convoluted…

Probably not doing some other part of the assignment well/as required by the instructor. I’m sure it required some additional explanation and documentation, and this person probably botched them in some way, meaning that no matter how “viral” it went, it doesn’t match the assignment’s requirements.

I’d be lying if I said I could understand the desire for games to look this way again, as it never felt like a “style” to me in the same way that pixel art did; it felt more like the best attempt possible to make games look “realistic” at the time and being limited by the hardware. Not that there weren’t pixelated…

To that end, Jim Sterling makes some great points by putting forth precisely that same line of argument:

They’re slow to adapt, and they do have some shitty and archaic processes (I loathe that I still can’t have my digital games properly tied to my NNID properly instead of my hardware. Ridiculous...), but I would otherwise contend that they respect the folks buying their games more than the vast majority of publishers.…

The worst part is the bullshit way it’s being dressed up. Stupid things like “What’s wrong with not wanting to be tricked?” getting over a hundred recommendations makes me cringe. Trying to recast the situation as one irrelevant to the issues at hand and one of some sort of “it’s just common sense” argument is just…

I feel relatively certain that must be real, but it really feels like it could easily be a parody as well with how ridiculous it is. The 90s, man.

It's messed up, but I agree. I was concerned deep down about how smoothly things seemed to be going. I expected a delay, and I feel like it's a sign of an important breakthrough in this case as I'm sure they were banking on the Wii U sales jumping for Zelda this year, so this is not a decision made lightly.

Didn't buy it for "loyalty." Bought it for all the games I've loved playing for the last 2+ years. Bummed about this delay, but excited about the new possibilities.
