Japanese Superhero Show Copies Batman's Gotham City

by Brian Ashcraft

Japanese Superhero Show Copies Batman's Gotham City

Kamen Rider Gaim, the latest entry in the long-running Kamen Rider series, is quite interesting. It's samurai-themed, but uses fruit motifs throughout the show. That no longer raises eyebrows among viewers. A recent map that appeared on the show, however, does.

These shittiness multipliers are through the roof!

Oh Good, The New Ninja Turtles Movie Is Getting A 3DS Game

I was really hoping there wouldn't be an official physical video game product based on the upcoming live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, if only to avoid seeing these ugly mugs on store shelves.

Shigeru Miyamoto, We Have An Answer To Your Question

by Stephen Totilo
Dsider

Looks like the commenters made me proud. Only thing I think they should have noted with Metroid, or any games really, since that's a risk now: don't give us the option to *BE* the character, let us *control* the character, and give them a proper personality of your choosing. Nintendo's one of the few companies left that actually do a damn fine job with that when they put their minds to it.

Shigeru Miyamoto, We Have An Answer To Your Question

Mr. Miyamoto, you recently asked me to ask Kotaku's readers to say which games they'd like you to make for the Wii U. Your question was extremely popular and I got a lot of replies—more than 3,000. And a lot of them involved a particular word: Metroid.

So I guess we're staying away from the new flavor then. I mean I'll try it if someone has an open bag, but I'm not gonna bother getting some myself.

Doritos Mystery Flavors Revealed -- "Spicy Street Taco" Wins

Original crispy >>>>>> everything else, imo

Article agrees, get that pretzel shit out of here.

M&M's Flavors, Ranked

There's plenty to mock about the leaders of the dude-food movement—Fieri, Zimmern, the Epic Meal Timers—and their bag-tag army of regular doofs united by pork-themed t-shirts and their exaggerated disdain for small plates and Whole Foods. But we're not here to make fun of their indoor sunglasses or their spicy bourboñero-glazed goatees. We're here to protest their implied contempt for M&M's.

No comment about that (likely custom) armor halfway through, but god, this scenery porn. If I ever finally get to play it with these mods, I dunno what's gonna happen to me.

It's 2014—almost three years after Skyrim's original release. Despite its age, the game can still look damn incredible thanks to modders.
