I honestly think Smash Ultimate was one of the most hyped games in the last decade or so. Like from that first Splatoon-themed reveal all the way until Launch, everyone wouldn't stop talking about it.
The fact that it launched in December adds a lot to that too.

If you can get past Death Mountain in Zelda II then you are probably set to beat the rest of the game, and also probably any other game you will play outside of like, Ninja Gaiden.

I still can't believe how much third party support Nintendo is finally getting

Pretty much any indie game on PC is also on the Switch nowadays, or heading that way

Switch is basically the perfect console for indies really. Like so many of these games feel perfect on handheld mode.

Turns out Retro was hiring a bunch of people at the start of the year
https://www.gamnesia.com/news/retro-studios-goes-on-a-hiring-spree

I guess this has been in the works for a while now, and they are just going public with it to get infront of any news leaking. They wouldn't have brought on a bunch of people otherwise.

It's actually kind of difficult to say what's up with Retro because Retro has kind of had a revolving door of dev teams since forever. Every Prime game had an almost totally unique dev team, and even between DKCR/Tropical Freeze had a lot of people come and go.

Apparently that same GameInformer dude said something about a Prime Trilogy HD release for Switch being "basically done" and Nintendo is waiting for the right time to announce it, but I can't find that tweet or anything.

32 mil is the lifetime sales, they've done 14mil this financial year so far, and revised the goal from 20 mil down to 17 mil.

That said, if i'm reading right, they made whatever their forcasted earnings goal for the financial year is in Q3 alone.

Their software sales have been pretty loving astronomical, which is were most money is actually made in this business.

Believe it or not Console hardware is often sold at a loss, although last I heard Nintendo is still making money on Switch hardware.

How was Breath of the Wild “very, very safe”? Like, it was going to sell on being a Zelda game but they went in a radically different direction from stuff like OoT or Wind Walker.

I'm also kind of hesitant to call Odyssey safe, I remember everyone kind of going "what the hell are realistic people and dinosaurs doing in Mario"

I think that % you have on the side increases the amount of junk you send AND receive, and it's tied to how many badges you have. Getting a lot of badges is a super high risk/reward play.

I think a t-spin clearing two lines sends more trash than a normal two-line clear. Maybe even a lot more? I feel like I read it somewhere this week.

T-Spin lines send double the amount of trash they would normally send I think. So a double would send 4, which is the same as a Tetris.

Also long single line clear combos send exponentially more trash as well but I haven't any hard numbers, but poo poo starts getting crazy when people can rack up 6+ combos.

I think this is the full roster (so far) for MUA3:
Ant-Man
Black Panther
Black Widow
Beast
Captain America
Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)
Crystal
Daredevil
Deadpool
Doctor Strange
Drax the Destroyer
Elektra
Falcon
Gamora
Ghost Rider*
Hawkeye
Hulk
Iron Fist
Iron Man
Magneto
Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)
Nightcrawler
Pyslocke
Rocket Raccoon (with Groot)
Scarlet Witch
Spider-Man (Peter Parker)
Spider-Man (Miles Morales)
Spider-Gwen
Star Lord
Storm
Thor
Venom
The Vision
Wasp
Wolverine

*Not actually fully confirmed yet, but Game Informer mentioned a Midnight Sons team bonus which makes some form of Ghost Rider really, really likely

Also that portrait in the X-Men trailer showed in game models for Cyclops, Colossus and Xaiver

"Dumbass" being a thq board member. Imagine caping for a corporation that knowingly kept an open link to child pornography up on their page for days.

Just so you can play a video game

I’m probably just getting baited here but I’m not gonna get to hung up on something they’ve apologized profusely for after canceling the event, especially when it happened like 8 months ago.

Especially because this could also mean a Timesplitters remake/reboot is coming.

You are right, I looked into it and did happen, but it seems it was some bad call from a lone PR guy, who I can only assume (and hope) he’s been shitcanned for this stunt. That said I don’t think that should justify the rest of the 2200+ employees there also getting shitcanned as well.

Again, one of the people in the Ama was board member. No one was punished. They kept the link up for days despite one of the vps of MS asking them to take it down. If this was an innocent mistake, they would've stopped after opening the link to 8chan. They are betting on people like you thinking you "know" they're dumb, when these corporations hire people who literally research the gamer mentality. This is 2019, you really think a video game company hires people who don't know what child porn is? Because that's what you're suggesting, when the first page of 8chan advertises it.

If no one got punished for it that’s totally hosed and you aren’t gonna get much argument from me on that.
