This serves as a great reminder that the Wii music from this period was almost universally excellent.

The loss of the Wii-style menu music is one of the biggest disappointments of the Switch. Whenever I boot up my Wii or Wii U I’m bummed out that we don’t have sweet new music for the Switch.

I still can’t believe the Switch shop doesn’t have music.

Look at Phil Harrison’s history:

I have so many problems with this writeup I don’t even know where to start, but one thing that struck me was the comment on Nintendo not embracing brevity. As someone who’s currently playing Valhalla, I feel like you’re way off the mark. Mario games aren’t long. I ran through a couple worlds in 3D World in one…

Sell castevania to nintendo. Thats where most of the fanbase is. Also a full zelda and castlevania crossover.

Just sell the Silent Hill, Castlevania and MGS IPs to Sony and then you can do whatever you want with your pachinko machines.

Would it kill them to add difficulty settings?
Was all set to absolutely love the game but the difficulty curve was like a freakin hockey stick to where I was dead in the water fairly early on.
I paid for the damn game. Let me enjoy the damn game.
Give me a gamer badge of a dunce cap that says LOSER in all caps for…

Thanks for making a better world for my daughter and all the girls who love gaming! You rock Maddy!

Thank you, to Stephen and all of the Kotaku staff, for doing their absolute best to provide us all with some levity and a form of normalcy in these trying times, even as you all deal with the same issues as everyone else. You all are a shining light in the fog this world is in, helping in your own ways to give hope…

Loving basketball shouldn’t make you overlook the fact that someone is a rapist.

I bet he didn’t nazi that coming

White people problems, am I right?

Good service for the fans from these guys!

There were articles that the development team had been playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Maybe her hair was longer but she had to trim it to rob a riverboat casino. 

The neat thing about this is it’s the opposite of black magic - it’s extremely easy to do and pretty straightforward. The hard part is just getting the idea.

For a split second I passed the headline as if Mario’s real-life voice actor had passed away and nearly lost my shit.

thanks for the hard work, Luke

Unpopular opinion: I have no problem with this.

I hate to be that guy, but you’re wrong. Nintendo almost always name their games with the name of the main protagonist. For example, Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus. And yup, the fox is called Star Fox, just like the game. It’s a fox, and it has fox in the name! Duh.
