@silverninja honestly mk8 is very bloated. Too many tracks and toons no one cares about. They need to go back to their roots and have maybe three total toons and two tracks. I still haven’t made it through mk8’s story mode and it’s been 12 years!?
@Meteoroid exactly this. Nintendo hasn’t made a AAA game in almost two decades. They could literally make a game with Mario punching a button that says “give me money” and they would charge $60 for it.
EA is literally the only good game company anymore.
What if the twist is micro transactions and always online?! Give us Mario Kart Tour on the Switch but charge us $120 just to pay for more content! Oh and NFT’s!! That would be perfect!
@Crockin it’s going to be a very watered down experience with no reason to play after “finishing”. There’s no trainer battles, multiplayer, co-op, or competitive. We already have Zelda Breath of the Wild so there’s no need for this game. It’s literally just a demo being released as a “game” by Nintendo. I really wish Disney would get the Pokemon license already.
This is a smart move on GameStop's part. They are the only organization I know of that is trying to implement NFT's to better empower gamers. I hope that's what happens.
I’m honestly very pumped about this. After everything that Harmonix dealt with under EA, I expect the deal Alex made with Epic is pretty dope. As a huge Rock Band fan, I expect a new game/rebranding in the next year or two. I can hear Immigrant Song playing now...
@Pod Exactly... these kind of problems don't just get corrected overnight. You need to solve these issues with time and proper management. Being expeditious about this just results in the problem repeating itself.
Oh yeah... I really hope the "Demolition Man" mission in Vice City is fixed. I thought when the building was being blown up that so was my Switch. I was laughing out loud as it was handled even worse than what I remembered on PS2. 🤣
@durrdevil To be fair that's the true power of the consumer. We all have the ability to bend corporations and entire industries to fit our needs provided we stand together and take action. We just really haven't been flexing these muscles at all until recently.
@DumbElder This. Just because you associated with the guy even for a moment doesn't mean you're complicit with his doings or partake in his erroneous affairs. Do I believe most people who associated with the man were aware or involved? Yes. Is it fair to judge everyone listed that took a flight of his? No.
Bobby Kotick is honestly the main reason I haven't given Activision any of my money in the past 14 years. I know it sucks as there are plenty of talented and passionate people that work within that organization. But I can't stand knowing that anything I buy from them would help him financially.
All in all I can't believe he's remained in his position for so long considering how evil this man has been. I'm very happy for the employees taking a stand. Bobby Kotick will finally get his comeuppance. And when that happens, we can all celebrate.
Time to return Activision back into a company that gives a crap about their community, both employees and gamers.
@SViper Nope as in I don’t know for sure how long they will be available. I noted what’s currently in the game as an indicator for what to expect for the duration of availability for the skins. If they are out of the shop within the week, expect them to reappear before or on December 4th (end of season). There will also be Naruto challenges included in the game soon for more Naruto cosmetics.
@SViper Nope... but Kakashi and the knives will be on the map til the end of the season so I would expect the skins to be available for a good stretch of time. Also, this season is the last season of this chapter! Expect big changes again in December.
I played about an hour of Vice City last night without doing a single mission! I was laughing my ass off at how dated the game really is... but it's so much fun that way! Also, the only music missing in the game is just Michael Jackson and Ozzy Osbourne. Otherwise all of the other classics are still intact. 😁
Can you imagine if we got Wave Race 64, Pilotwings 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Cruis'n USA, and StarCraft 64? And they're all online games like Mario Kart 64?

Re: Video: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Gets Three New Commercials
This is very meh. Diamond and Pearl are much better entries. I will wait for the second remake of this in 15 years.

Re: Activision Blizzard Employees Stage A Walkout Calling For CEO Bobby Kotick's Resignation
Gotcha. Well I hope you enjoy them! I haven't played the remasters yet so hopefully they live up to my memories from yesteryear.
Re: Activision Blizzard Employees Stage A Walkout Calling For CEO Bobby Kotick's Resignation
Seriously? Did you not own a gameboy advance or N64?
The games are amazing even if just for their soundtracks alone. 😊
Re: Activision Blizzard Employees Stage A Walkout Calling For CEO Bobby Kotick's Resignation
@DumbElder Haha nice! Once Bobby's gone, I will be doing the same. 😁

Re: Believe It! Naruto And Team 7 Have Arrived In Fortnite
@nessisonett I'm still hopeful we get Sasuke's outfit from the end of Shippuden as a variant.

The exploding kunai knives are so damn fun. Best collab ever! Just wish they would have added a POI to the map too.

Re: Got A Spare $25,000? Then This Baccarat 'Pokémon Pikachu Fragment' Could Be Yours
Honestly... sounds like a solid investment. Looks absolutely gorgeous. I imagine a poker player or James Bond villain using one as a totem.
Re: Ubisoft Is Bringing A New Monopoly Game To The Nintendo Switch
I honestly didn't think I would see a couple fans of Monopoly Tycoon in here. My heart is happy!!
Re: Ubisoft Is Bringing A New Monopoly Game To The Nintendo Switch
Two things:
1- His name is Rich Uncle Pennybags (which makes more sense considering the time period this game originally debuted)
2- They should really make a new version of Monopoly Tycoon. Exceptional evolution of the main board game.
