    Gotta love a longer Dunkey video. I'm not a huge racing/Mario Kart fan, barely touched MK8, but man, I would definitely buy that soundtrack whenever (if ever) it's released separately. It also seems to do open world correctly; it's supposed to be a toy box. I get what it adds to something...

    I, too, got an Amazon copy. I stopped by the local weebmonger and they had Dandadan in. Great series. Brand new was $35. For the whole season. The shop owner was even agreeing it was awesome to see a whole season of anime be affordable. Grabbed a copy. They had a used copy of YuYu Hakusho...

    Limited Run Games Thread - We only promise our NES games will work, not your console

    I kicked the habit entirely and just get the Asian English import, nab whatever shows up on VGP, or just get it on Steam for a deep discount, whatever it might be.

    I would bet modern QA is just self-assesed and only handles by exception these days. So pay the fee, check the boxes, check the last one that you swear it's okay, and then off to the races. I doubt Nintendo has any people loading up each hentai slider puzzle to see if they actually work.

    I just went ahead and grabbed a PS5 copy off Amazon. Will deliver by end of July. No rush to play, but tired of the "is it in stock or not." Being only $50 helps.

    Yea, ports though they are, they're a higher quality cut than the OG Switch launch. So they sold more than Switch, but failed to meet even lowest expectations for Switch 2. That leads to wonder whether those were EA level expectations or an actual reflection of the market right now (do they...

    The deckbuilding roguelite Yohane the Parhelion - NUMAZU in the MIRAGE - is $6 on Steam (80% off). Best price to date on any platform. Has a demo, too. I enjoyed the demo, so definitely grabbing it for that price.

    And the Vita version is the definitive one... Re: launch sales, it's impractical to really discuss what the root cause is on sluggish sales. Is it economic, such as too high of price for people to buy a system and multiple games? Was is content, such as most being older titles that are...

    As someone who's studied VR, which includes motion sensing, academically, the Wii's motion solutions were half baked measured at the start and rarely evolved beyond "a button press by different means" methodology. Using a flick to swing a sword in Twilight Princess, which was a button press in...

    The real issue, and hottest take coming, is that the eShop is awful at discovery. Finding a game that you don't know exists is near impossible. Shopping off the eShop is routinely much easier and the sites offering such services include far more data. One thing about physical releases is that...

    The Wii was awful, and not just because had to suffer through years of shortages while working at GameStop. All the major platform exclusives either had tacked on useless waggle or folks don't remember bangers like Wii Music. The attachment rate for the big name stuff was a joke; shovelware is...
