Lol, this is so stupid, it's not like Mario would win against Sonic anyway! Mario's a fat little plumber and Sonic is the fastest being in the universe
@Lizuka It could be an artefact of translating from Japanese to English – Japanese doesn't have articles, so it might be a kind of overgeneralisation. But yeah, you'd think they'd get a native speaker translator to make it seem more idiomatic
@Tempestryke But he's completely right. How dare complete randos go up to someone and try to tell them what sorts of books or media they "should" be able to read or create. That's just f***ing creepy and weird.
I always pronounce it "times". Very often the character used actually is a multiplication sign (×) and not the letter x. I always assumed it was because Japanese writing systems didn't use the ampersand (&), and so they used this instead. Then I started seeing it in Western media, and now it's EVERYWHERE. And nobody seemed to bat an eyelid or think there was anything weird about it.
I absolutely hate these kinds of videos... why could he not zoom in more? Why could he not hold it so, y'know, the whole screen was visible? Would that have been too much to ask?
This was the only game out of the whole direct that actually interested me (apart perhaps from Hela, which looks kinda cute, and Star Wars Outlaws, which looked a lot better than I expected). The footage in the direct wasn't inspiring, but this trailer makes it look absolutely amazing.
I can't afford to get my Switch 2 until the end of September, so I was thinking about waiting another couple of weeks and getting this until I realised the included game is digital-only... oh well
@Truegamer79 Legend is an amazing movie. Watch the director's cut, it's a whole 'nother animal, adds in about an extra 40 mins of footage and makes it even better.
@karatekid1612 No company gives a ***** about its customers. Corporations are not your friends. They exist for one reason and one reason only: to make as much money as humanly possible.

@Truegamer79 Legend is an amazing movie. Watch the director's cut, it's a whole 'nother animal, adds in about an extra 40 mins of footage and makes it even better.
Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie
Remains to be seen whether they can act, but looks-wise at any rate this is good casting, they both look suitably elfin.
