@sinalefa Sakurai and some other dude played the Wii U version at last year's E3...

Oh my god, STOP TRYING TO GET ME HYPED FOR E3! It's going to make the wait incredibly unbearable...I need to chill. This year's E3 is going to crap! Bet they're gonna announce uhhh...New Super Mario Bros U2!
[Heavy sigh] that's better...

Re: Lucasfilm Decrees That All Star Wars Video Games Are Non-Canon

LOL big deal. Don't get me wrong, KotoR is one of my favorite games of all time, but why would I even care if they're considered canon or not?

[Looking at the fans of the EU books]

It's not like they have anything to do with the movies. The KOTOR games happen thousands of years before the Prequel and Original trilogy.

Score pending?
SCORE PENDING?
SCORE FREAKIN' PENDING?!

jk, this looks interesting! It doesn't seem to have that high an score on Metacritic, though. I'll be cautiously optimistic about this game.

Re: Fresh Super Smash Bros. Screens Show Zero Suit Samus in Action

@Jazzer94 Are you going to continue using that argument? They needed to make it clear to young players that Samus was a woman, which wasn't a well known fact (it wasn't known at all) back then.
If it makes you feel better, she only started using a less "sexualized" in Fusion, where she used trunks and a sports bra.

@Havoc @Funny_Moblin
So? Even if we ignore the fact that she's fighting in freakin' high heels, you can't deny they're sexualising her just for the sake of it.

Let me guess: "Oh it's alright because she's pretty now"?

@Silent Because no one can fight in high heels, they look absolutely ridiculous. It's not about sexiness, it's about practicality.
Some Zero Mission concept art reveals the designers never intended Samus to have high heels, which makes her high heels in Other M AND NOW SMASH BROS make no sense.
Here's a funny thought: Put on some high heels and go to a fighting dojo. Let's see how long you last.
