All throughout Destructoid, not a creature was stirring… Welcome one and welcome all to this edition of Comments of the Week. Unfortunately Gmana couldn’t be here this week because, unlike me, he has a life to live around the holidays, therefore you are all stuck with me. There are some amongst you who would probably tell me that this edition needs to be festive or Christmas-themed; however, because it is not Christmas Day, I would therefore tell those people that they are objectively wrong....

Plus all four DLC characters! Fight like a girl with this contest for your chance to win a PS4 copy ofSNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. I’m terrible at fighting games, but I’ve always enjoyed the spectacle around them. Bonu points for any fighting series that really goes out of its way to offer something unique. I don’t know much about SNK games throughout the ages, but man any time a game puts together an all-female cast (and even some formerly male ones now in female form, hell yeah Terry!...

Because you always watch movies on Vita Crackle, the streaming movie and television show streaming service, is now on Sony’s PlayStation Vita. A Sony video appon a Sony system! Woah! It’s a bunch of old movies and and too many commercials, so most won’t be beating down the PlayStation Store’s digital doors for an app download. But if you’re a fellow anime fan,there’s some pretty good stuffto be found in Crackle....

Next year on Wii U Yes,Mario Makeris real and it’s exactly what we thought it’d be: a game that lets you create and play your own customMariolevels. It’s coming to Wii U next year. You’ll put down various elements like pipes and Goombas, and there’s a toggle allowing you to also play levels in theNew Super Mario Bros.art style. (Why?) Need to appeal to that new audience, I suppose. No word on pricing, but if it’s affordable enough, this should make a killing....

Speakingwith Inverse, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has said a few things about the company’s strategy for moving to an inevitable successor to the Switch. Of the notable things he said about it, one about Nintendo accounts is particularly intriguing. “But one thing we’ve done with the Switch to help with that communication and transition is the formation of the Nintendo Account,” Bowser told Inverse. “In the past, every device we transitioned to had a whole new account system....

You Goku be kidding me If there’s one thing Bandai Namco’s excellentDragon Ball FighterZisn’t short of, it’s Goku. I get that he’s top boy in the Dragon Ball world, but the tag-team fighter now has no less than five variants of the Super Saiyan on its roster, with a sixth now incoming on May 22! While Goku is almost an entirely unstoppable force in any form, Ultra Instinct Goku is practically a God, well demonstrated in the new trailer below....

The tenth edition of cardMagic: The Gatheringis popular with the paper folk. While I wasn’t told any hard numbers atGen Con ’09, I learned that Wizards of the Coast is excited about the game’s growth in its latest core edition. I askedMagicbrand manager Mark Purvis if the sales boom had anything to do with the recent Xbox LIVE Arcade release,Duels of the Planeswalkers. According to him, there’s evidence suggesting that people exposed to the downloadable title are seeking a way into the paper game....

The concept of consequence has never been fully grasped by videogame PR. Whether they’re putting severed limbs around London or sacrificing goats, you can always count on marketing bods to do something stupid in the name of promotion. Take EA, for example, who has had to recall theillegal weaponryit sent out to press along withGodfather II. For some mad reason, Electronic Arts believed that sending a set of brass knuckles with its game was a clever idea and that there wouldn’t be any trouble as a result....

Around the time of the Oscars every year, I often hear people say things like, “Who picks the winners, anyway?” When I explain that it’s theAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, an organization with 6,000+ “motion picture professionals,” a few people say, “They should let the people pick ’em.” Frankly, I think it’s a good thing that life doesn’t work that way, as the general populace often doesn’t know what the hell it’s doing (e....

Rivers of superheroes Well, that was wonderful. Good thingPikmin 3is finally almost a week away, or else the wait forWonderful 101might be too much for Wii U owners to bear. I’m still not exactly sure what to expect out ofWonderful 101, but Dale’s recentComic-Con previewof the insane, manic, bus-punching superhero conglomerate has me stoked. It’s like being a Green Lantern, but instead of willing giant fists and baseball bats into existence, you transform the nearby citizenry into the tools of justice....
