Nicki Minaj Has A New Game Where People Actually Rap For Her
by Gita Jackson
DsiderOkay this is kinda hilarious
While anything with Nicki Minaj in it oozes personality, her app, Nicki Minaj: The Empire, really doesn’t differ too much from Glu’s other games, except in one major way. This one allows you to write lyrics, share them, and also record your own raps. The result is just as fun as it sounds.

Pokémon Go Makes Sending Monsters To The Meat Grinder Easier
by Cecilia D'Anastasio
DsiderI still can't get back into this game until it's properly optimized. Even on this new phone it burns through the battery HARD.
Pokémon Go’s much-requested “mass transfer” feature is dropping shortly. Players can now “transfer” Pokémon to Professor Willow in batches. So you won’t be sending your little pocket monsters to the meat grinder one by one anymore.

Nintendo's Luigi Miiverse Keeps Getting Hacked In Funny Ways

If you’ve visited the New Super Luigi U Community recently, you might have noticed something was a little different. Instead of prominently displaying the green-overalled plumber, the social media community has seen a number of banner changes that definitely didn’t come from Nintendo.

Nintendo Offers Cash Bounties To People Who Find 3DS Exploits
by Jason Schreier
DsiderIf they don't give you a complimentary white Mario hat like the one he wears when he has fire power, then I really don't see the point.
You know all those stories about people who hack into tech companies in such impressive fashion that those companies immediately offer them jobs? Nintendo won’t do that. But they will offer you cash.

Anime's Fan Service Can Be A Minefield
by Cecilia D'Anastasio
DsiderOccasionally this anime lady will actually produce useful articles like this one. I like this quote that she used from one of the commenters:
“You can enjoy something and simultaneously understand and agree why it’s a problem.”
It's a point that I feel a great deal of anime fans fail to grasp and instead become irrationally defensive about.
Today, how you feel about panty shots can determine how you feel about anime as a whole. And it’s not just panty shots. In the blockbuster anime Food Wars, women’s clothes burst off their bodies when they taste an exquisite bite of steak. Skirts often don’t cover the bottom halves of women’s butts in Prison School.…

BoxBoy 3 is Coming In 2017 (Also AMIIBO)

BoxBoy, the hero Nintendo’s 2016 needed and star of our “best games of the year” list, will return on the 3DS in February (at least in Japan) with a third game in the series, called Goodbye! BoxBoy! And, more importantly, with BoxBoy Amiibo.

Poll: Ten Anime And Manga With The Most Unhappy Endings Ever
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderGoing off what I've heard from others about most of the series on this list, I'm not surprised. I haven't actually seen the endings of any of these myself though, and there are 2-3 I know absolutely nothing about in the first place. I didn't know there was a definite ending to Yamato back then, but if Analyzer died I don't think it could have been that sad. So he probably didn't die. :|
Not everything turns out like you hope it does. Not life, not manga, and certainly not anime.

By using the new Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary amiibo, you will be able to summon a handful of iconic characters from the Legend of Zelda series, including Ganon, Epona, and more.
