Queue the Nintedo fanbois tying themselves in pretzels explaining why this is okay, but Mario in Dreams isn't.

@playstation_king Another myth of copyright is that you can use material if you aren't profiting from it. This is not true.

@Robinsad That comment makes no sense.

@TheNewButler No it is not as simple as that. What you are saying is a commonly held misconception about copyright. You do not have to fight every infringement or lose copyright protection. Nintendo is just being Nintendo.

Hey PushSquare, there's a virus killing people. Let's try to grow up and keep our priorities straight.

Why isn't Sony talking more about a video game console? Maybe there's something more important going on in the world. Something more important than video games. Something that is killing people and closing countries. Nah, Sony's probably just being lazy.

@gollumb82 "Pushsquare?" That's an odd way to spell "Digital Foundry."

He's saying Push Square is going to owe him an apology. The sassy scamp.

So to sum up. People think that the decade ends at the end of the month, but they are wrong. But so many people are wrong, that wrong is considered right, but they are still wrong.

So instead of complaining to me that it's stupid to call a child born in 1990, a child of the 80s; complain to the monks who weren't smart enough to call the first year of recorded history 0.

@kyleforrester87

Well, Pushsquare seems to be the only gaming web site that can't read a calendar, so maybe I should let it slide. Still, it's like that piece of burnt skin at the top of your mouth that you burn when you eat pizza that is too hot. You just can't seem to ignore it even though probably should.

@kyleforrester87

Facts matter.

@Porco

Well, the series is having a tough time differentiating between "Game of the last 10 years" and "Game of the Decade." The first is correct while the second is not. The Decade doesn't end until December 31st 2020. Perish the thought an editor actually check facts though.

@Gremio108

Well the first guy was correct. The second guy was wrong.

And I am sure you ripped the roof off the joint with your searing rendition of Rick "The Man" Astley's pop masterpiece.

@NoxAeturnus

Except I'm correct and everyone that thinks the new decade starts in 2020 is wrong. it's not be pedantic, it's observing these annoying little things called "facts."

@NoxAeturnus

People go to such trouble to avoid admitting they are wrong. 2020 is the last year of the decade. The first decade was year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Ten years because there was no year 0.

Or you could just look it up.

Just so you know, there is still another year to go before the end of the decade. The new decade starts in 2021.

I think you meant, "isn't going anywhere" which refers to constancy and steadfastness. "Going nowhere" in suggests the game is stuck in development Hell and not progressing.

@Onion_Knight Are you suggesting that the game becomes significantly different somewhere in that 100 hours? I watched my son play it to the end and it seemed pretty consistent from beginning to end.

Never will understand the love for Breath of the Wild. I played for five hours and just stopped. The world was dull, the weapons broke to easily, the temples were bland and samey. Just stayed too far from the Zelda formula. I get that people were impressed with Nintendo finally making a sandbox game, but they really didn't do anything that hasn't been done before.

I already own both of these games, but I am happy that other people will get a chance to play them. Batman is great and Darksiders 3 is pretty good.

Not much of a sale to be honest.

Sony just swapped Detroit: Become Human for the soccer game.

I'm glad it's not for Switch. The port begging has become unbearable and this would have just led to another level of entitlement. Usually, I'm all for games being available in as many forms as possible, but the Switch fan base has become very obnoxious with their "All games can be on Switch if the developers weren't lazy."

Really hope the announcement isn't for a Switch version. Unsually, I couldn't care less about things getting ported to other systems, but the Switch user base is sooooooooo over-the-top obnoxious with their port begging.

Shipped is not sold. Why do journalists insist on uncritically repeating PR.

Oops! SE didn't say they sold 5 million copies, that's all on push square.

@ShogunRok I was just giving you a bit of a hard time, no offense. I picked up MKXL in the sale for $5 and think it's an "okay" fighter. All the characters feel pretty much the same, so far.

Forgetting the release date for DOA 6 is understandable. The series just doesn't generate the same level of interest as Soulcalibur, Tekken, or Street Fighter. A real shame because it's a great fighter that's held back by its peculiar obsession with fan service.

@ShogunRok

Dead or Alive 6 is coming out on February 15th, yet Last Round is on the list. You want to rethink your excuse for not having Mortal Kombat XL on the list?

You can't compare the Vita with the 3DS. Just because the 3DS was able to pull itself out of a tailspin doesn't mean the Vita can. Why?

1. Nintendo has Mario, Pokemon, Metroid, Zelda, and other well known franchises while the Vita has.......?
2. Nintendo's DS was the best selling console ever and the PSP was a niche platform with boutique software from fringe publisher like NIS and Xseed.
3. Nintendo never, ever had the bad sales that the Vita has had in Japan.
4. Nintendo isn't hemorrhaging cash, Sony is.
5. If the greatest gaming console manufacturer of all time can't sell a handheld at $250, what made Sony think they could?

You are right that there are a pattern to console launches, but that glosses over the fact that what is happening with the Vita is unique. The Vita has great hardware specs, a great launch lineup, but no one is buying it. Those lack of sales has had a profound impact on software announcements (i.e. there haven't been any).

You complain about wannabe analysts, but where is your Harvard School of Business degree? Nowhere in your article do you talk about Sony's massive debt and precarious market situation, and you say the critics are being unrealistic?

Here are the facts. Sony released an overpriced handheld into an over saturated market during an economic downturn. With no handheld identity and no well known franchises, Sony thought they would be able to attract consumers by offering a PS3 lite experience with a more than PS3 price tag. Sony then dug their own grave even further by requiring expensive, proprietary memory that was necessary to save game data even though the games were already on cartridges!!!!!

People are surprised that the Vita arrived DOA, I would have been surprised if it hadn't.
