Anyone know where I might find information about the Amiibo manufacturing process? All I can find is vague references to the whole process being very complicated and that for the most complex figurines, parts are manufactured by hand.

It's all done by child labor in Miyamoto's dojo.

Wasn't it for Brawl? No wonder he's given up on the series after it betrayed him like that.

That will be interesting. I'm currently disliking re-doing the same areas as different characters.

I loved brawl. But the movement did suck compared to melee.

My son was wanting to play a game on the Xbone, so I bought Yokka-Laylee for it. Was also much cheaper than the Switch version. We boot it up for the first time this morning: 5 gig download required. I'm assuming this is the whole game. To make matters worse, when we started the now downloaded game, we were prompted to download an additional update of... Another 5 gig  Hrm  modern day gaming...

I'm enjoying RE Revelations 2 more now. For a re4 style game with motion control and top notch production values it scratches an itch. I don't like repeating some sections as different characters as that is padding. They also tend to flood some areas with a single enemy type. I prefer Revelations 1 so far as it felt more classic, whilst this feels more action focused.

Just watched the first episode of season 6 of House of Cards. I miss Kevin Spacey. I understand why they made the decission to drop him, but he played the role perfectly and his role was also a central pillar of the show. Some of the dynamism is gone and his wife, despite the best efforts of the writers and the the actress Robin what's her name, just doesn't fill the screen like Frank Underwood did.
