I thought Pachinko took a poo poo with Japan opening up gambling laws so people have things to gamble on other than quasi-legal pinball bullshit. I also heard that's why Konami is putting more attention into video games and their video game licenses lately

They are but Konami is in Las Vegas now and is making a ton of money.

The tracks go off in this direction.
I'd be fine with Konami if they filled out MGS5 with some DLC to finish the story parts and kept making quality Metal Gear games. Without Kojima is fine. Just don't give me trash like Survive.

It's crazy, any way you slice it, Konami, from a company stand point, made the right decision.

I used to work for Spielo (now IGT), doing sound and music for slot machine games, and I was kind of blown away when I learned that one of our competitors was THE Konami.

You could always pull an EA and just insert the gambling straight into the games instead.

Wow that sounds like a neat job. Creating slot machines is literally video game development, and I'd love to read more about it.

He has just beaten me twice, but each time it has been really close.

I dunno. I don't remember how Mewtwo plays except that Lucario seemed to fill a similar role.

If you're fighting people in the World of Light it can be easier. Nothing like coming into a battle Giant and destroying them in two or three smash attacks.

Mewtwo is good now and was good in 4. He only sucked in his debut in Melee.

Has Mewtwo always had this black coloring as an alt? Because this is my first time noticing it and has made Mewtwo extremely powerful.

My focus is UNPARALLELED!
Are there any good Metroidvanias for the Switch that are easier, combat wise than Hollow Knight? Something more Castlevania: PoR than Dark Souls.

I like exploration, backtracking and stuff, but I hate the Hollow Knight combat and wish the developers added an easy mode for uncoordinated idiots like me.

If there’s any sign that Western culture is on a decline it’s that Windows 95 came with Hover and Windows 10 comes with Candy Crush.

Hover is a good game but the Switch is not the platform for it. The text in the Switch version is almost illegible in handheld mode and it makes the game pretty unbearable to play. If PC is an option I would take that, otherwise I'd just pass unless you really, really, really need a weird indie attempt at Jet Set Radio in your life.

Having beaten Katamari, decided LA Noire is not for me, and not being able to play Smash until Christmas, I'm back to Monster Hunter

Well, unfortunately I'm about 90% of the way through Monster Boy and ... at this point I'm soft locked and can't progress through the game because an NPC won't advance the current plot. Apparently there are other places where this can happen as well. I had multiple other times playing the game where I had to Close Software because I was completely hard locked. There are a also lot of other weird minor bugs going on with the game all the time, but none of them are really a huge issue besides those ones.

So not that almost anyone was paying attention to the game in the first place, but I'd recommend staying away from this one until they put out some patches for it. Really a shame too because the game, when it's actually functioning correctly, is really good.
