Do we know for certain yet whether D+ will have ads? I can't seem to find a concrete answer.

I think I still have the one my dad made somewhere. Did everyone's parents who played video games make one of these back in the day?

I mean, it's not? There's going to be a whole Donkey Kong Country section, and a Yoshi ride (I know that Yoshi started out explicitly as a Mario character, but they're now their own franchise).

I'm inclined to agree with you that we're not going to see anything about Banjo just yet. I wouldn't necessarily discount Nintendo's ability to "oh one more thing" all over the place, though. They could, in theory, pull out another Piranha Plant-style extra DLC character that exists outside the Fighter's Pass. I won't…

I mean you have to consider that spec-wise, this is identical to the regular Switch. It's not a technical downgrade; it's the same system made more compact, just without the docking capability. So a $100 drop in price seems perfectly fair to me.

Yeah, it's especially disappointing as this is the games' first entry on a home console, meaning the cartridge/file size for these games is bound to be a MASSIVE step up from the previous titles. To be asked to accept that, suddenly, the games' development could not facilitate animating all of the Pokémon this time…

I don't think the thesis of the article is that it's necessarily a bad thing that these references were cut out during localization, or that they should have been kept in the game. It's just an article to show us something cool we might not have known about the original Japanese version of the game.

That's really the only response to this.

That’s a big “if,” though. Yes, they could take the time to go through and painstakingly remaster all of the backgrounds in the game. Yes, I’ve seen the comparisons from fan-made backgrounds, and they are gorgeous. Would it be worth the time and money expense for Square-Enix though? I don't know that remastered…

Okay but that's Alan Tudyk's voice, right?

Yeah, I'm guessing they wouldn't lock access to the character behind pre-order, but everyone who doesn't pre-order or buy the game in time or whatever will probably just have to pay for the guy.

Your insistence on correcting OP is not nearly as much of a killjoy as the excruciating mental image that that second paragraph has created. Yeesh.

If someone points out something as obviously being transphobic, and you disagree, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but...

So you’re saying if the other guy's review was dressed differently, or maybe had taken some self defense classes, it wouldn't have been plagiarized?

People actually bought it.

Okay, but like, attendance isn’t mandatory. They could have easily not done a big thing, and saved people’s expectations. As Jason said, this is their first big press event at E3 in three years, so they made a conscious decision to make a huge deal out of their presence this year, and then didn’t have shit to present.…

Small correction, but there’s definitely more than half of 2018 left, not a little less than half as the article states.

I was staunchly in the “it’s not that bad” camp on Dark World, but shiiiiiit, after seeing Ragnarok it is HARD to watch.

You mean mermaid Sora didn’t have fish genitals? Well shit, that’s a whole lot of fan art that I need to throw out now!

Well, considering it’s already sitting at number 4 on Amazon’s best sellers in the video game department...
