What's really interesting is that when Breath of the Wild was still Wii U-only, there were some features shown off in presentations that made much greater use of the game pad. For example, drawing a path on the touchscreen and having your horse follow it to your destination. But when it became a dual-launch with the Switch, all the game pad features were dropped.

Attractive characters (female or not) have always been part of the series' appeal. This goes all the way back to Marth and Roy appearing in Melee, the players loving them, and thus creating an incentive for Nintendo to begin localizing the series in the first place. Lyndis was specifically designed to be babby's first waifu so that Americans starting the series with Blazing Blade could have an attractive character to guide them through learning the basics of the series. If you're upset about Camilla getting a sixth alt, that's a perfectly fine criticism. If you think Fates had a shitty plot, you're absolutely right. But if you think "waifu-pandering" is what's ruining the series, then I've got some bad news for you.

Last night I had a dream where the final DLC newcomer for Smash was revealed: Baby Mr. Game and Watch.

Who are y'all voting for in CYL3? My current plan is to flip between MILF and Loli Tiki until we get the halfway results. Then, I'll put the remainder of my votes toward whichever one is in the lead.

My guess is either closer to E3, or to coincide with the reveal of a new DLC character for Smash. Possibly both.

How was everyone's day off?

That being said, I do find Ike's interactions with Elincia in PoR to be incredibly cute, even if they were inserted by the localization team.

There's nothing head about it.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I’ve spent the past five in-game hours in ToV running around killing mooks with equipment three levels weaker than the strongest I have available, just so I can unlock skills. And just when I think I’m finally done, I come across a synthesis shop and discover that there’s a skill that I missed, but in order to craft the weapon that teaches it, I have to backtrack three towns to buy an outclassed weapon to use as materials, except I can’t, because it’s on a different continent.

An MSPaint meme page brought up an interesting point: This is Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia. He's so popular among the fandom that he got banned from popularity polls because he kept winning. Guess what Namco doesn't do with him? Shove him down people's throats. Whenever there's a major Tales crossover game (and even some that aren't Tales, like Project X Zone), he's featured in it. But in all of those crossovers, Yuri is an addition to the cast, not the main focus. Namco knows that people love him, but also know that those same polls show that people also love other characters. If Namco can sparingly use the character they deemed too popular to vote for, there's no reason why IntSys shouldn't be able to cool off with the Fateswakening shilling.

Boris is gonna have a field day with this one...
