Hmm. I was excited to see Arms get included as I thought it would surely add some really unique gameplay to Smash but to my surprise.... she looks pretty boring. All her special Arms attacks look so similar, just several slight variations on “long horizontal punch”. It felt surprisingly uninspired. The only thing that…

This one is pretty darn remarkable if AI did all on its own. It looks borderline like a photo of a real person.

This makes you the opposite of cynical.

You think it’s weird that most people prefer not to have big objects they find to be ugly and weird looking in the middle of their home’s common areas? Cuz it seems pretty reasonable to me.

This is incorrect, the correct shorthand is the SeXbox, common people, get it right.

Why would anyone try to convince you otherwise when *this is an obvious fact???*

Gotta say, that ring system looks like it could be really fun to me!

Yeeeah, that popped collar is never going to not look very silly to me.

So...why *do* they pay him so much then?

Oof, big disagree here. I can get the argument that there’s a certain charm to old-style pixel art, but old-style 3D art? That shit’s just ugly, lol. For my money, it wasn't until around the ps2 that there were any 3D games I didn't think were hideous!

Wow. That's a much stronger statement than I expected to hear from a megacorp.

So interesting how the typical super anti-capitalist Kotaku apparently views monetary compensation as the only way to value someone’s art. As if working for monetary profit is the only reason people should do work.

Personally, I think PA has a higher batting average than most of the others! Wasn't aware people didn't like it. If nothing else the art is way above average...

Can't wait to play kaizo Pac-Man!

Please tell me more about your Crossing of the Animal!

That one was my favorite this week for sure.

I would bet that the vast majority of people who would be interested in this version of SM64 have already paid for SM64.

I disagreed with your articles constantly and I thought you were one of the very best writers around.

Pet peeve - there is no place in the world that I am aware of that practices “unfettered capitalism”. Even in the US with its rep of being very capitalist, there are lots and lots and lots of fetters.

But what does Mario's mushroom *say*, in the grander socio-political perspective?? Surely that is an important question that we must ask about literally everything everywhere at all times forever!
