@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.”
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.
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
@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.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition On Switch
@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.

Headline references the starters, article says nothing about them :/
Re: Video: Let's Compare Xenoblade Chronicles X On Wii U And Switch
@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.

Re: Atelier & Dynasty Warriors Publisher Looks To Expand And Focus On PC, Consoles

Re: Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes Include A "Surprise" If You Play In Chronological Order
@Daniel36 Phantasy Star IV was $99.99 in 1995. Game prices have not been “always the same” over time.
Re: Forget 'Switch 2', Nintendo Has Just Revealed An Official Alarm Clock
Seems kinda neat. But not for $100.
Re: Sega And Universal Announce 'Shinobi' Movie
I’ll give it a shot if it looks good. But where’s my Phantasy Star I-IV anime?
Re: Talking Point: How Would You Fix Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Most Frustrating Feature?
Echo durability. After 10 uses an echo breaks and you don’t have to worry about finding it in your menu anymore!

@Rozetta Maybe they embed the posts to minimize the risk of a copyright complaint.
Re: Nintendo Announces Three More Switch Bundles (Europe)
@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.

I’ve read multiple articles on this topic on this website this week and I still don't really understand the panic.
Re: Two Zelda amiibo Restocked Ahead Of Echoes Of Wisdom Launch (US)
Surprised and disappointed that they haven’t announced a new Zelda amiibo yet.

Re: Random: New Zelda: OOT Speedrunning Route Requires A Wii U GamePad And A Rubber Band
You can “alter the game's code and memory” but you can’t use a second controller? That seems so arbitrary. I guess I don’t understand speedrunning.
Re: Review In Progress: The Garden Path (Switch) - A Green-Thumbed Ode To Animal Crossing That Needs Tending
People complaining there’s no number at the end to tell them what to think is pretty funny.
This game has been on my watch list for some time, and it does look lovely. I hope they can get the technical issues fixed.
