  2. “Best Mobile Game: Mario Party Star Rush (Nintendo)” Oh that definitely fits because it’s just as crappy as most mobile games tend to be. In fact, it should have gone on smartphones & tablets instead of a dedicated gaming device like the 3DS. This game does a dishonor to that awesome piece of hardware. Same goes for FedshitForce. Dishonorable pieces of shit software that never should have been put on the 3DS!

    1. *looks up Battlezone & sees it’s getting rebooted* Damn it! Maybe the rebooted series will get a more awesome Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs some day! (Yeah. When hell freezes over. It’ll probably end up being as bad as the remake of NfS: Most Wanted was. Not necessarily a bad game but when compared to the original, it sucks.)

  3. Nintendo should’ve shown the NX at Gamescom and beaten Sony VR for best hardware, that would push the NX sales and therefore get more developers on board and therefore push more sales. So far noone’s seen the NX and it’s 7 months from release. It really needs some promotion or noone will know what it is on launch like the Wii U

    1. As much as I like Nintendo Directs when they are actually good with awesome games getting shown, they really should unveil it at a very public event with media coverage. While media coverage can be pretty skewed and/or corrupt at times, it’s better than none at all.
