Ubisoft has definitely stepped it up this gen. I've almost forgotten how Rayman Legends was a console exclusive and Ubisoft made it multiplatform shortly before release and delayed it.
I was really enjoying this game on Wii U but there were some annoying glitches. I remember at one point I could not move forward after defeating a boss. I restarted the game and the same thing.
I am surprised Hidetaka Miyazaki got the Lifetime Achievement Award. Armored Core and the Souls series have both been strong. Makes me think Kenichiro Tsukuda deserves one too!
Square Enix failed to realize consoles is where their money is at. Let us also not forget that money keeps being put into Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Sometimes you wonder if Square Enix lacks good direction with some of their games and half of the time is spent restarting step 1 in development.
Telltale fell so quick. They took too long on their strong IPs. The Walking Dead should have reached a conclusion years ago. Instead they kept delaying seasons.
Good article. Pikmin always reminded me of Super Mario 128. It makes sense since Super Mario 128 was supposed to be on Gamecube and then Pikmin appeared on Gamecube.
I am glad both games got 8/10. I enjoyed both games but for some reason I enjoyed The Stick of Truth more. The Fractured But Whole does have an improved combat system though. Maybe the first games is funnier. It just felt short.
I am glad the series is getting the appreciation it deserves. All 3 games in the series have been solid JRPGs. I am hoping things don't change in a bad way. As long as Monolith Soft does not make a change based on what other mainstream games are doing that makes the series less unique.

Re: NBA Playgrounds Is No Longer Available To Purchase From The Switch eShop

Re: Telltale Intends To Hand Over Final Season Of The Walking Dead To Another Company
Telltale fell so quick. They took too long on their strong IPs. The Walking Dead should have reached a conclusion years ago. Instead they kept delaying seasons.
Re: Feature: Remembering Super Mario 128, The Groundbreaking Masterpiece That Never Really Existed
Good article. Pikmin always reminded me of Super Mario 128. It makes sense since Super Mario 128 was supposed to be on Gamecube and then Pikmin appeared on Gamecube.
Re: Limited Run Games Set To Release First And Only Wii U Game, Lost "A Lot" Of Money Making It Happen
Developers and their super high expectations.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Has Exceeded Expectations Following Strong Sales Outside Of Japan
I am glad the series is getting the appreciation it deserves. All 3 games in the series have been solid JRPGs. I am hoping things don't change in a bad way. As long as Monolith Soft does not make a change based on what other mainstream games are doing that makes the series less unique.
