I’m going to need an explanation how Donkey Kong Bananza gets nominated for Game of the Year, but is snubbed in categories like Best Action Adventure, Best Game Direction, etc.

More than half of the nominees in Best Action Adventure aren’t even up for GOTY!

I mean, folks…

That’s spot on.

I don’t know if this is an embellished translation or that’s the accurate dialogue from the Japanese publication, but this is such an unhinged line from Gundam Wing: The Last Outpost 🤣

Quintessentially late 90s/early 2000s dialogue right here

I finished the new Witcher novel last month and was very pleased with the whole thing. Crossroads of Ravens was just about exactly what I wanted out of a standalone Geralt story.

The Witcher remains better in standalone format than as a saga, in my opinion.

If we needed any further confirmation that the same team behind Dragon Quest Builders is developing Pokemon Pokopia, this screenshot seals the deal. That overworld design is STRAIGHT out of DQB.

Might mean something, might mean nothing.

But the last two Legend of Zelda releases featured Zelda herself as the protagonist.

I’ve enjoyed my time with Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but the online Battle Club was simply not given the attention it deserved during development. Aside from the sheer lack of options or modes, it’s buggy and unpolished. Here’s my Drampa respawning with half its HP missing.

Yesterday I told a few friends about how the Nintendo Store app shows how much they played a game on a specific day, and I could pinpoint the exact moment where they made the harrowing realization they could see the ungodly amount of hours they put into Animal Crossing during COVID 😂

I’m very curious now if the Okami sequel announced last year will follow up at all on its story, or just ignore it altogether. Obviously Okamiden is nowhere near as well known, but there are some pretty significant story and lore implications in it for the Nippon setting.

It’s hardly perfect; the cutscenes often overstay their welcome, and the story doesn’t quite add up at the end, but there’s actually parts of it that I prefer to the original Okami. If nothing else, it is a much leaner experience than its padded predecessor. Okamiden has far better pacing

My playthrough got interrupted by Pokemon Legends Z-A, but I finally finished Okamiden last night.

I had to keep reminding myself that it was an original DS game and not from the 3DS. Even as a compressed take on Okami, it’s amazing how they got a 3D adventure game to exist on the DS.

It is more than fair to dislike the Dynasty Warriors formula, but this is some of the most unprofessional writing I've ever seen in a video game review.

This is the kind of thing that should disqualify your credential with Metacritic, Opencritic, etc.

Did that "favorite Pokemon for each type" thing.

It's like choosing your favorite children. Just agonizing at times.

Wrestle Kingdom 20 has officially sold 31500+ tickets, and there is still two months until the show.

There’s a chance this becomes the highest attendance for a Wrestle Kingdom event ever.

I just beat a certain postgame boss in Pokemon Legends Z-A and whooooo BOY did that one almost make my heart rate hit 4 digits.

Can we talk about how freaky these new forms of the Tears of the Kingdom bosses are?

I love that Z-A’s script isn’t the least bit subtle about Taunie/Urbaine being as dumb as a pile of rocks 🤣

Shoutout to the side missions in Pokemon Legends Z-A for having so many genuinely amusing and heartwarming Pokemon/human interactions.

Behold as I try and mostly fail to recreate the majesty of the mountain lake Morskie Oko in my own style of drawing.

But hey, at least I learned how to add gradient shading in Clip Studio Paint now. So I got that going for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Damn, sad to hear about Tomonobu Itagaki’s passing. His work on the 3D Ninja Gaiden games was nothing short of incredible. Those were the among the very best in the action genre at their time, and to this day they hold up magnificently.

Rest in Peace

Yo wtf I feel deeply called out.

I understand that Okami and Okamiden use a very modern tone for their dialogue but I still wasn’t expecting to see “that totally blows” in conversation lmao 🤣

I’ve been replaying Castlevania: Circle of the Moon for the first time in probably close to 20 years, and man those Zombie Dragons are still as brutally difficult as I remembered them being 😂😂
