Synecdoche

Ash and Askr in Fire Emblem Heroes are bovine so she would fit right in there…maybe a long-list relative with special powers.

@MarioBrickLayer I wanted to make sure to reply to you and include that description because I’ve found that often people will say of a movie or a game that there’s nothing at all inappropriate in it for children — but they may not be remembering everything that occurred in the game; different parents have different standards for what they want their kids to experience; and of course every child is different too.

This looks like a good game but I won’t be buying it at this point either. I also didn’t buy It Takes Two for the same reason.

@MarioBrickLayer FWIW, the ESRB site says: “Combat is highlighted by cries of pain, blood-splatter effects, and explosions. Boss battles also depict violence and/or blood: a hydra getting its head cut off, with blood-splatter effects; characters impaled. A handful of scenes depict crude humor: pigs propelling themselves via flatulence; monkeys throwing feces at characters. The word ‘sh*t’ appears in the game.”

@JackieCMarlow If you're assuming they knocked two points off the score for having two cons, then you'd also have to assume that joys are worth one point each as well. Which means that, with six Joys and two Cons, this review score would have been...a four out of ten. So clearly that's not what they're doing.

@Jayenkai Same. RMX looks good but it was too hard for me so I didn’t play it very much.

@-wc- You engaged with this article by commenting on it twice, so it did its job 😉

Hopefully these aren’t $30 each like the Street Fighter ones.

@Dimey DK isn’t even a launch title so it’s really one game lol

For new games isn’t it just Mario Kart? Given that the system was originally supposed to release last year, I’m shocked they didn’t have a new mainline 3D Mario game ready to go.

This is me. I'm sure that I'll get one eventually, but not now.

$30 each? Good lord.

I didn’t even know you could turn it off.

"Part of us wishes we didn't have to pay for it"

You don't. Ignore it.

If they were Hall effect sticks, surely they would’ve said so by now, no?

Looks just fine to me.

“The sworded issue”?

I’d still like to see Ryza (and Impa) in Smash.

Siliconera gave it a 9/10 and Destructoid gave it a 10/10.

@TheExile285 If we didn’t get a Zelda amiibo for Echoes of Wisdom then I doubt we’ll get anything for this game. Too bad though, I would buy them.

@Zaruboggan MK8D, watch out! Kitty’s coming for your crown

Headline references the starters, article says nothing about them :/

@Samalik You need a boob slider, and a bikini on a 13-year-old girl, or you won’t buy the game? My second-hand embarrassment is off the charts.

@Anti-Matter For what it’s worth, the ESRB site says: “One female character is depicted in a swimsuit that reveals a moderate amount of cleavage and breast-jiggling effects. The game contains some alcohol content: a ceremony in which players' character drinks sacred sake; several characters with flushed faces drinking alcohol, with accompanying dialogue (e.g., “I'm good. Not even tipsy”; “This could just be some drunken ramblings...”; “...I'm so drunk…”). Players' character can also purchase and consume alcoholic beverages from a menu screen. The word “a*shole” appears in the game.”

@dartmonkey Thank you very much.

I brought this up in another recent article, but I’ll request it again — can you please consider not linking to the website of a Nazi sympathizer? Honestly it seems strange to have to ask.

Please consider no longer linking to X.

I didn’t make the cut, I’ll try the waitlist.

@rjejr Do you often get your controllers wet?

@PokemonDMG The rumor is Hall effect sticks, which would be nice.

@Anti-Matter Don’t TVs produce their own electromagnetic field?

The real question: Why is Peach racing in a dress? I liked her biker outfit.

@mlt I think it’s more about how the characters were received, as someone else said.

The next entry is XIV? A couple must have passed me by.

I’m sorry, but Kate clearly established that crab news is reported on this website on Thursdays.

I’m expecting them some time after the FE4 remake, that’s been rumored for years too.

@Sonicka I would play that. I’d also like Ryza for Smash but I’m not holding my breath.

@JohnnyMind I take a drink every time you write the phrase “discounted physical copy.” I’m often quite drunk lol

Fantastic phenomenal news. I was thinking about starting a new playthrough but now I’ll just wait. Day one purchase for me. I’m so glad they took my NL letter from the other month to heart lol

@Max_the_German The changelog is linked in this article 🙂

D’oh I just used my points on things I don’t really care about that much ☹️

Marin, Sakurai, Dragaux.

This reads like a great review for the 8BitDo controller.

@jesse_dylan Virtua Racing was also $99.99 in 1994. SNES Street Fighter II was $69.99 in 1992 (that would be more than $150 today). Streets of Rage 2 was $64.99 in 1993. Chrono Trigger was $79.99 in 1995. Neo Geo games were $199-$299 in 1991. It’s simply not true that games have “always” been the equivalent of $60 today.

@Daniel36 Phantasy Star IV was $99.99 in 1995. Game prices have not been “always the same” over time.

Seems kinda neat. But not for $100.

I’ll give it a shot if it looks good. But where’s my Phantasy Star I-IV anime?

Echo durability. After 10 uses an echo breaks and you don’t have to worry about finding it in your menu anymore!

@N00BiSH You can just put a keese eyeball on a regular tomato

@Rozetta Maybe they embed the posts to minimize the risk of a copyright complaint.

@RubyCarbuncle “making it almost impossible for indie developers to pursue their own creative ideas”

What an overstatement this is. Your penchant for exaggeration doesn’t help your case.
