@dartmonkey the first line in the article says that the term is meant to "combat Spanish," goes on to use baseless and contradictory speculation to explain the origin of the term, and uses a very hostile tone throughout. Its not going to convince anyone on either side of the argument and you're better off using a different source. This one is just going to make everyone angrier.
Based on what I can see, there's a distinct lack of Gunvolt for this event, unless they're also planning on an azure event at some point in the future.
I don't think any of this is a question of laziness. I think there are two separate issues at play here: the first is that EA has been burned in past with the Wii U and they waited to make sure they are not associating their products with failure. The second, and more interesting, issue is the backroom dealing they have done in the past. Both them and Nintendo know people want most of EA's catalog on Switch. They know that so well that EA is likely leveraging that to their advantage. Remember why EA never released any sports titles on Dreamcast? Remember what it took to get Madden on the Xbox? The same thing is probably happening here, except the success of the Switch and their love of money is forcing EA's hand.
To that point, they're likely releasing Legacy editions of FIFA to honor a prior commitment to release something, but won't release a full edition until they get something they want out of Nintendo or they can't ignore the money lost from releasing inferior versions.
I really don't think #RaceDieRun has been given the attention it deserves. Even though loads of people have gotten it for free from that Christmas promotion, I don't think people have actually played it.
The best way I can describe it is a combination of an F-Zero time trial and Super Meat Boy. It has 60 tracks, and the goal is to reach the finish line while navigating an increasingly ridiculous set of obstacles that will kill you in one hit. It gets difficult to the point of hilarity, and it has a pretty cool aesthetic.
With headlines using phrases such as "delightfully addictive" to describe a game, it is weird how critics of the medium could jump on to the idea that games are addictive.

Re: Feature: Video Game Music That Didn't Need To Go That Hard
The final boss theme from Yoshis Island should the top entry on this list. Its the hardest Koji Kondo has or ever will go.

Just noticed overall Switch sales doubled overall PS4 sales in Japan. That is insane.
