  1. Nintendo > Sony
    It’s a fact. The PS4 is a boring piece of garbage, and Nintendo knows video games should be fun.

    1. True but Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is a pile of garbage as well. The reviews are coming in and they’re not great.

    2. I have both systems. “Boring” is a matter of opinion, not a fact. Each console has its targeted audience.

    3. I don’t know if that’s fact, especially considering people are adopting PS4s in droves and PS4 is seeing at least a few great indie games a week and 1 or more AAA games each month.

      I love my Wii U, but claiming that the PS4 has no great games is ludicrous. They’re both great systems for different reasons.

  2. [Sitting here patiently waiting for the Gunvolt demo] How come we got like 5 kirby themes but still no Kid Icarus Uprising or Fire Emblem? Sakurai runs the theme shop. It explains everything.

      1. Obviously. Look at all the Kid Icarus love in Smash Bros 4. Kirby is Sakurai’s baby though; I’d imagine he likes him more than Pit. But Sakurai did say that he loves Palutena.. Palutena theme confirmed.
