@Flipbot Sigh, the joke is that they spent so much effort in revealing the gender that making a mistake and dying meant that they were mistaken on the gender of the child. The joke would have been the same if it was a girl being announced. There is a much more horrible joke that could have been made, which I won't mention.
You could take it the way it was intended instead of trying to find something to be offended about.
@Thorthegreat12 If Nintendo come out and confirm this publicly then they should do. As it's a design flaw, then consumer law should require them to fix or replace it regardless of whether it's in warranty.
@farmer_humpf Yeah, they're not admitting that it's a design flaw or accepting responsibility for any issues that have occurred because of it, they're just saying they're aware that people are talking about it.
@gwyntendo
It's a form of false advertising, they are selling you a product that they assure you works and has no technical issues. No-one advertises that their product is broken.
@Rhyglms "Anywho, i think these lawyers need to get some data checked in before filing this suit, because if it was a manufacturers problem, it would have been noticed during beta testing."
Not true, there were problems with the bluetooth connectivity in the left joycon:
@FarkyValentine I've backed about 9 projects in kickstarter and received 8 quality products. The 9th hasn't been made yet so I can't determine how good it is. Hardly a farce.
If successful it should encourage hardware manufacturers to have better QC methods in the future to prevent potential litigation.
And yes I have both a drifting joycon and cracked rear casing on my switch. It also wasn't user caused, because I respect my property and the property of other people.
Got it and finished it multiple times on PC. A thoroughly enjoyable game with plenty of replayability.
@Aneira Actually there are very few of these games. A lot of the games being called roguelike and roguelite contain very few of the elements that make up the genre. Mostly it's just procedurally generated levels and/or permadeath. It's like calling Super Mario Bros. a first person shooter just because he can throw fireballs at times.
@Trajan
Or an Australian, we've just had the first series finish and they're looking for people for another . (also the Australian episodes can be found on... less than legal sites, if you're interested.)
@Trajan If LEGO Masters ever comes to the US, then yes you could be.
@Spiders Well it works for Mario Kart. As for the better players winning more often, of course they will. It's just adding a bit of randomness to a sterile environment.
@AlternateButtons I mean, if we're talking about games that "matter," then for me the only current gen console worth possessing, to me, is the Xbox One. But that's only for Rare Replay, which I'm sure will be making its way to PC eventually.
@AlternateButtons Considering Morrow and I have listed most of the major first and third party exclusives already, that's some freaky hand you've got there

Can't help but see fortnite as a huge step down from Unreal Tournament. I'd watch a world cup of UT.
