Last night, 39-year-old composer Ludwig Göransson won his second Academy Award for his score to ‘Oppenheimer’. In a heartfelt speech, he thanked his parents for giving him his foundation in music.
I could forgive every change made to Coconut Mall, even the Miis, but the way they changed the escalators to these super telegraphed steep ramps that would not exist anywhere except for a Mario Kart track is pretty hard to overlook. they're supposed to be mall escalators!!!
When Bobby Kotick was at Activision he was making Miyamoto’s salary per day.
Not exactly a huge mystery why Nintendo are able make it through the mess the industry is in unscathed.
Miyamoto makes approximately $1.7 million (286 million yen) a year at Nintendo.
He's second only to President Furukawa who makes approximately $2.2 million (358 million yen) a year.
I both think Game Freak deserve criticism and the company behind Palworld are parasites that feed off of other peoples art.
This is one of their earlier games clearly not inspired by anything else.
Pyoro might have just accidentally threw his contact under the bus by mistake 💀
An employee that works for Nintendo Japan and only knows about stuff from the website backend can’t be too hard to pinpoint.
PlayStation as a brand wouldn’t be what it is without “childish” games.
Stuff like Crash and Spyro were major draws in the early days and both made by current PS Studios.
Despite her young age, Hulkenberg excelled in the use of various weaponry, and was assigned to the personal guard of the prince. 🗡️

#WeAreMario
I've seen some fans of old style Paper Mario saying they'll just emulate the remaster or not play/buy it at all.
If you want PM to return to the supposed better style then show support or stop complaining.
It's preview day for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a huge game I would love for Kotaku to be able to inform its millions of readers about first-hand.
Unfortunately Nintendo still has it blacklisted from advanced coverage, a move I would argue is both unprofessional and coercive.
OOT was a rough transition into 3D is a weird hill to die on.
There’s a reason nobody says it.
You gotta remember this game came out in 1998 and pretty much defined what 3D RPGs could be.
It introduced Z targeting for gods sake.
I don't know if it gets worse later on but I think the bird statues in Skyward Sword are so evenly placed that the controversy around the amiibo was blown way out of proportion.
There's always one within 20 seconds of you I swear.
Just a reminder the person excitedly posting an image of their newly arrived copy of Skyward Sword HD or the icon on the home screen probably doesn't care if you think it's not worth the money👍
Feel free to moan all you want but don't directly piss on other people's excitement.
I know Nintendo always get painted as the bad guy of the industry but we constantly see stories like this.
They treat their employees well at the very least.
I find it kinda crazy PS4 doesn't have a single 1at party game thats reached 20 million in sales yet Switch has 6 and counting.
Not bait I just genuinely find it interesting since the PS4 has such a huge install base.

🗣THE DEMON GROWS🗣
Axios confirmed that Takashi Tezuka is the Producer of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Takashi Tezuka has been working on the Mario series for almost 40 years starting with Super Mario Bros. in 1985.
If there is a 2D Mario game being made, I want him on the team!
Saw a kid ask his mother for Pokémon card while out shopping and she said “You’re 9 it’s time to grow up”
I’m 33 and want Pokémon cards, encourage your kids hobbies and they might not resent you when they’re older.
Muting this because somehow posting an actual fact has attracted Sony fans and created console war crap in my mentions.
Go play FFXVI instead of worrying about the Switch is a home console or not 😅
@Claytoncyre
The controls could get annoying but Wii has a vastly superior library imo.
Galaxy 1 & 2 and Xenoblade are greatest of all time contenders plus better versions of the GameCubes 2 best games with the improved Metroid and RE4 ports.
Paper Mario: The Origami King is one of the most underrated games on Switch.
The combat is actually really fun and super unique and the story is both funny and emotional.
Some get too hung up complaining about what the game isn't trying to do rather than see the good it does do.
Name a game that critics and many gamers thought was disappointing or outright bad, but that you actually really loved.
Most recently definitely Fire Emblem Engage for me. Always see posts about how it's mid or bad but it was genuinely one of the games I had the most fun with
It might be popular to hate it these days but there's a reason Breath of the Wild is still talked about and compared with 5 years later.
Love it or hate it you can't deny its influence on the gaming landscape.
"Sword and Shield are only 10GB so they must be bad"
One of the best games I've played this year Sekiro is only 12.5GB, file size does not determine quality.
Pokemon's major issue isn't Game Freak lacking the talent or the Switch showing its age(although that isn't helping) it's the time constraints the developer has to work with.
The turn around for Pokemon games is so fast they always release a year before they really should.
Maybe the guy just wanted a break after 27 long years.
Charles isn't a young guy anymore, let him retire in peace without painting it as him being fired.
If he wanted to play Mario till the sad day he leave this mortal realm he could but he chose to step back so respect that.
Called it.
Terrible decision btw. Martinet hasn't slipped an inch in his portrayal of our favorite plumber so whatever they're thinking at Nintendo is at best way too preemptive.
This was the most pointless, wasted, and overhyped shit they’ve ever done.
Sakurai just wanted an excuse to justify adding Dark Pit and more Marth clones.
