Re: GameStop's Internal Database Lists Multiple New SKUs For Nintendo Switch

@EdwardElric Well, assuming these are real games, they are probably gonna be tied in with the heavily rumoured direct, and if all they have in the way of first party is old remasters they are in trouble. Also charging 60 a pop for some of these games probably isn't going to fly. Its more likely that 64, sunshine, galaxy 1, and galaxy 2 are all in one collection, and the other games might be some other older titles like 3d world, prime trilogy, Pikmin 3, and hopefully a new game as well (Botw 2 possibly?)

Re: GameStop Promo Wants You To Trade-In Your Old Switch For A New Switch

@Blizzia I can see where your coming from but
1. When is it ever necessary to see every part of the box anyway and if you direly need to see it your best bet is to go to a store anyway.

2. I don't think you read the end of my comment While on the l surface it looks while GameStop has higher pricetags if you know their system which is actually pretty easy it's not difficult to farm store credit and I've even managed to get cheap consoles (my switch cost $100) and have gotten numerous free games.

3. If you're looking to play the game early GameStop is the way to go in fact I was their for the RDR release last night that wouldn't have been possible with Amazon.

While I agree that GameStop has flaws so does Amazon. You're not getting it that much cheaper if you have to pay shipping and handling unless you have the prime membership which you also have to pay for. To each their own though.

Re: Random: Here Are The Best Super Mario Party Characters According To Dice Roll Statistics

@JamesR It might just be me but it seems that the more you use a dice block the more unlucky you get with it. For example at the beginning of a game I got 5 straight 6s with Wario which has a 13% chance of occurring which is rare but it might just be luck. However after that I rolled 5 -2 coin rolls only a staggering .4% probability (I triple checked the math) bringing that sequence of events to an insanely low .052% probability. It could have just been a strange event but that seems unusually bad for an ingame occurance since a computer would normally be decently consistent unless somehow weighted. I'll have to play around more to know for sure though.

Personally I’ll take shy guy every day for the consistency. Haven’t lost a game due to bad rolls yet.

Edit: also glad to see that they nerfed Rosalina a bit. Her dice was ridiculously OP at E3 if I remember correctly. It was basically Bowsers block but you moved every time.

Edit 2: After several more games it's close between Shy Guy and Wario. I have realized that losing coins is almost never too bad and Wario has 6s instead of 4.

I've visited this site every day for almost 2 years now and it''s sad to see how far down the site had come particularly since Thomas Whitehead left. For the amount of workers you guys have it seems like there is very little effort going into the articles of which there are only a few per day. As @Rika_Yoshitake mentioned above you guys are getting clicks by making a speculation on someone else's article, very unprofessional.
