Basically, Crunchyroll, Funimation and HiDive all license anime for viewing outside of Japan (I believe Funimation may be U.S. only), VRV is a service either owned by Crunchyroll’s parent company that has cut deal with many content providers to host their content under VRV’s house for a single monthly subscription…

While on the topic, the co-creators are working with Netflix on a live action re-imagining of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Excuse you, he was the main villain in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

Mike, it was you and the personality you bring to your articles that first got me to read kotaku regularly. Specifically, it was your article on why Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare is stuck on your ceiling (here’s hoping it’s still there). The levity you bring to your writing, even when dealing with dark and…

I was doing one of the early flying missions, and the last step was to destroy the plane that was sent after you. I’m a terrible pilot and only managed to succeed by crashing into them. What made this extra interesting to me, was that this actually cued the first John Seed mission fo me. As I fell through the sky my…

I had a similar bug after breaking out of John’s stronghold. I think it was the second mission of his? I completed the mission and promptly died. It then respawns me in his compound, with the only door out closed, unable to be opened. Thankfully I was able to fast travel out.

Did... Did you read the article? Lootboxes are pretty much a thing of the pass, as are star cards. Admittedly, the article did a poor job explaining how progression works, but basically you play the game and gain so for that character. Each level grants you a skill point for that character/class. You use those skill…

Would you consider how overwatch does it a problem? Because that is pretty much exactly what they are doing. Loot crates contain cosmetics only, you can also buy cosmetics directly through in game currency or real money, progression is tied to levels that you gain by playing the character.

Here you go.

Ddifferent dev team, nor is the Sm4sh team credited at all.

Te best piece of evidence pointing to it being a whole new game is that the very last bit says Original game Nindendo/Hal. Sm4sh was by Bandai namco.

I get the opportunity to play this at PAX West and I definitely walled away with a good impression. The combat seemed a little simplistic, but still con (part of the simplicity may have host been because of the demo environment). The character creator definitely had room for a lot of depth. One word thing that very…

Reach out to the cosplay community. Guaranteed they know someone.

I disagree. Beyond Odyssey Mario + Rabids and Arms are both fantastic games in their own right. Plus the indie scene is fantastic, if you are into indie games. I’ve also heard good things about fire emblem warriors and splatoon 2.

While this is no guarantee of anything, according to the wiki, whenever they’ve done a Direct mini, within 20 days they have done either a full Direct, system specific Direct or franchise specific Direct.

I interpreted the beep as an EKG of sorts, saying “We’re still alive, there’s a pulse.”

For one, the writer is someone who respects both the people of Japan and their culture. Something that, based off the evidence, can’t be said about your son. Second, his apology was hardly sincere. It came across as an “Oh shit people didn’t like the video” apology. He needed to apologize to the people of Japan for…

A note on the harmony hub. I have one paired with my echo. I love it, but it can be a real pain to set up. You need to program (through their GUI) each major action for voice control, and each action starts with the hub powering on the required devices. This can be especially rough for things like switching your sound…

South park did it first.
