Someone needs to improve their QA testing for random trials, but I am curious why this bug would only be happening in stadium matches. I don't see this to be a sign of incompetence or anything; this isn't a very easy thing to catch.
For big cities, when they say "October 16-29", they actually mean "either October 16 or 17 for just a few hours after we open, then we run out of cards". A huge pain to take the bus and train across the city just to hear they ran out or not distributing them that day.
Whenever I visit a new major museum (especially when abroad), I'm always looking to see if any Redd pieces are there. It's actually my first go-to guide as weird as that may be.
This is what I get for holding off on the reservations. Looks like all the slots are magically filled up, and I swear even Saturday had plenty just a couple days ago. Probably no luck even getting anywhere the shop, even with the pass, huh?
I'd consider Sceptile to be just as humanoid, so it's quite odd for them to go from hesitant to confident enough to have 2 humanoid starters. Either way, they're both awesome designs.
Glad they're going through with the dig. Villages that old need to be analyzed before everything's covered in modern construction. Shocked they'll get through the dig by the end of next week, I would hope for at least another month to be thorough, but this is still fine. Hopefully won't miss out on anything too significant.
I applaud Retro for advancing the concept and Samus's character better than any other product in the franchise. Each Prime game had something new and exciting to offer, and I especially enjoyed the expansive open-world feel of the third entry.
One of the greatest things that upsets me about modern software development is that bugs that grant a small number of users unfair advantages are top priority, but bugs that disconvenience the majority of users tend to be ignored forever. I can think of countless immensely powerful applications (e.g. spotify, reddit) where this is the case.
Although it's probably not the best sci-fi game of 2020, the amount of dialog in the game (often witty or informative) is just ridiculously impressive and deserves to stand as an interactive sci-fi work alongside the others. Glad there are efforts to include video games as a respectable art platform, despite how the innovation tends to be confined to the indie sphere.
Don't understand why ACNH was nominated when it's as far away as you could from an award that honors story and writing.
An offer on gold points should never be the reason to get a game. Games go on discount for 33%, 50%, even 80% off. Even if they quintupled the gold points, it wouldn't even be worth it. It's just a convenient few cents off.
Day 1: Come up with idea for next game Day 3: Reveal a teaser Day 60: Original release date Day 120: Backup release date Day 180: Backup backup release date Day 240: Actual release date Day 270: Patch to make the game semi-playable
Been following Directs since June 2013 (E3). Not once has a direct been announced that I didn't already know the day of and felt excited for what was to come.
Misleading title, and you can tell all the comments are confused. Sonic has not been absent since the first disaster. He continued to appear most of the 90s and then again for his 20th anniversary. But I guess that just shows people comment in reaction to just the article title.
@RupeeClock If you go back years ago, you will find Nintendolife articles on Peta with the top comment being exactly the same. Doesn't matter if the comments have hundreds of likes. Peta articles will continue on this site until the site is dissolved.
Damn why are the comments so critical? This is really cool and kudos to allypaca13 for paying tribute in his righteous place. I wonder what his other work is like, because he clearly didn't buy or has accrss to an ion milling machine just for this.
This is as good as news get. I have been waiting for a sequel since I learned what a sequel was... probably from this franchise all the way back in 2005(?) I am so psyched Free Radical will be designing this. Employees who worked on Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. This is perfect. I am so happy about this.
I got this game for the 3DS from the final round of Club Nintendo rewards. I qualified for the top rewards and my friend only had the lower tier, so I gifted him Animal Crossing New Leaf if he gave me this $5 title. And I was shocked by how similar it was to LoZ.
@JR150 Wanted to just offer my take, so don't reply to me.
"In short, Fire Emblem gets lots of playable representation because its lacking in every other regard."
This is not even remotely true. The other playable factors have no influence on the necessity to add more characters. If the developers were concerned about stages, items, or spirits, they'd add more stages, items, or spirits.
"Why can't we just accept the game how it is and just don't use the characters we don't like?"
You pose this like it's irrational or that people are being whiney. But it's perfectly valid reasoning that there is a greater demand than supply for new characters, and if Byleth was not added to the game, there would have been a different (possibly more interesting) DLC character. That's how game development like this works. It's not like Byleth was an added bonus.

Re: Random: Banjo-Kazooie's Gruntilda Returns In Fan-Altered She-Hulk Poster
@Munchlax @Aurumonado This is the correct answer. It's a very recent retcon from the 2018 Immortal Hulk, but at least it's an addressed explanation.
