@zbinks As a former reviewer here who seemed to get a large share of games that were in the 3-6 range, I thank you.

@Kimyonaakuma Yes, it's true. They can't make the DP remake exactly how you want it because their budget got wiped out making a 9-minute video.

Scorbunny in D?

POPPLIO IN E?!

@Severian Are you talking about the 4th character, The Watcher? If so, they're already added to the Switch version.

@AlexOlney I just had a similar revelation, except mine was that none of them have fur!

@teixeiras There's a difference between "getting an okay number of reviews" and being poorly reviewed.

The Switch version of this game is currently a 78 on Metacritic; not shabby. http://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/cosmic-star-heroine

I think the creator is pointing more toward the fact that there are only 8 reviews for this title on Metacritic right now. That's not great exposure.

@abbyhitter "That's sad that a Picross game is the highest rated 3DS game of 2016. Critics are obviously stupid"

So when critics are rating a game, you want them to hold it up against every other game that has been rated that year so far? Or they should rate certain genres higher than others because oh no, what if that game ends up on an arbitrary list? How embarrassing!

@Christmas That huge spike on the graph in July could be argued as a reason why Nintendo might be wanting to venture into mobile.

@PanurgeJr I agree that the monsters and chases became the weakest part of the game, but oh that story! And the car scene!

@AlexSora89 The game sells for $5.

That bear looks like a giant red panda and my dreams have come true.

It sure feels massive when you have to type all these games out. : |

@Yoshi It's not a one-time offer. The discount will apply to all games it is eligible for no matter how many you buy.

@Aerona You are queen of the bee puns!

@Assassinated I wanted more, but not just in length of game; also in the variety of things to do and challenge. I had some fun, but still think a 5 is an apt score. Other's opinions may vary, of course, and I'm not displeased that there are people here thinking about giving the game a chance.

(Edit: Also thank you for reading the content and applying your own interpretation of it to your view of this game and the score I gave. I appreciate that a lot, even if you might disagree with the number I gave!)

@Zekrom025 Right you are. Thanks for pointing that out!

To everyone worrying about C&D, do you think stuff like The Gaming Historian, Boss Fight Books, or half the documentaries on anything we see today would exist if you had to ask permission from the subjects of them?

"Oh sure, Mr. Moore. We'd love to see your documentary on our industry. Can't wait to see what you come out with!"

@Rafx @whitemaskedhero They make me write this way. >.<

@jbopatrick It was a joke. I was making fun of Analogue's apparently inability to properly identify the games they're including with their own stuff. ; )

@BetaBugs64 ; )

@Thegentleman The page for the game says "European version," so I suppose it may be a new build.

I hope she calls down a Wind Fish on some fools.

@Einherjar True, true. I love Capcom and its history, yet I couldn't help but find the humor in them talking about memes when some of their past wonky localisation has achieved meme status all on its own. : )

@Einherjar Just out of curiosity, did Capcom's localization team enjoy a tasty Jill sandwich after that talk?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

@mjharper Look at you using your math skills in real-world situations! ; )

@Neko_Ichigofan Today was so slow, it felt like lead. ; )
@Spoony_Tech Thank you both for pointing out the typos!

@Dakt Ah yes, you're right! He has been a contributor. I have never communicated with him myself, unfortunately.

@Dakt We have a contributor that allegedly knows about the NX?

Wait. Is it me?? Is that why those assassins keep monitoring me?!

THAT FOUNTAIIIIIN!

@SH007ME Believe it or not, but my parents' names are actually Dick and Jane.

@Nego Yep. The only reason I brought gender up at all is because the translation uses "she/he" and "his/her." Just leaving that without any mention, I felt, would have brought up even more questions and speculation than there are now.

Y'all guffawed at my Hopes and Dreams. Well... well you can still guffaw because there's nothing official yet, but just do it a bit quieter!

I have to say I like it, and it's got a good message.

We all know it's a Pokémon commercial, but the average Super Bowl viewer may initially not. There are some subtle clues in the first part of the commercial that some may pick up on, but the payload comes in the latter half that yeah, this is actually a commercial for Pokémon.

This is sort of a commercial for the current Pokémon fan, but I feel it's geared more toward the people who initially played it in the '90s, but fell off as they grew older. Nearly all the references apply to Gen 1, and it's no coincidence that the commercial ends with a knowing parent telling their kid they could get in on this too. It's practically screaming, "Remember when you thought this was cool, mom and dad? It still is, and the kids you now have could love it too!" It's not advertising specific, upcoming products because it's advertising the whole concept of Pokémon and its lasting power. The droves and droves of games and merchandise practically sell themselves after that. That's how I take it, at least.

@TeeJay Tell me about it.

"What do you want to write about for HOPES AND DREAMS, Tim?"
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD, TOBY FOX!"

@TheWPCTraveler @Smash_kirby Oh, yuk it up, you two. Just wait until my bastion of storage is complete!

(Thanks for catching the typo!)

A carefree pony
Its laughter sounds in comments
To pass harmlessly

"Barf! vomit! barf, barf! chuck! chuck! Drown to death in puke! Don't you think that's an incredibly masculine taunt to throw at you?"

@ULTRA-64 Since you asked, here was my list:

1. Splatoon
2. Super Smash Bros.
3. Mario kart 8
4. Super Mario 3D World
5. Super Mario Maker
6. Affordable Space Adventures
7. Guacamelee
8. Shovel Knight
9. DK Tropical Freeze
10. Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien

To be honest, though, I had a complete mental slip and forgot about Child of Light. Had I not forgotten it, it would've definitely made my list, probably around mid-pack.

@gurtifus Thank you for letting me know you're out there. I will try to keep non-native English speakers like you more in mind when needed during reviews. : )

@Humphries90 The Typoman banner on your homepage currently links to your Word Party review, but I still read your take on Typoman in the reviews section. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, because there's absolutely brilliant stuff in it.

@GeminiSaint That said, however, and after a bit of thought, it would likely be worth mentioning that there are no ways to convert the game into other languages. I will have to add that.

@GeminiSaint Because you would need to be able to read English to understand that the review is telling you you can't understand the game if you can't read English.

Here was my individual Top 10, because why not?
1. Splatoon
2. Super Smash Bros.
3. Mario Kart 8
4. Super Mario 3D World
5. Super Mario Maker
6. DK Tropical Freeze
7. Wii Fit U
8. Yoshi's Woolly World
9. Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
10. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse/Brush

@PlywoodStick Although I'm American too, I've had enough job interviews where I can see how that connotation could be inferred. I doubt it was the case with Capcom here, but my apologies to @Splatburst for my response if that is how they were seeing the context as well.

@Splatburst Were you hoping for a transcribed "[evil laugh]" and "[mustache twirl]" at the end of the quote? I don't see how the headline implies anything more than what the article states.

@Discipledoctor I wish I had prizes to give out to the people who find my dopiest hidden references. ; )

@AVahne Yep, that's definitely Macross. Thanks for pointing that out!

@Not_Soos You can listen to a 30 second snippet on the Loudr page for a small taste.

@KaoruxChan A... a 7 isn't a good score? Even when a 7 is called "Good" in our scoring policy?

The 3DS review will be coming soon.

Also: Rousey uses Quick Attack.
It's always effective!

This is from ESPN, folks. I'm sure they asked and received permission before doing this.
