    Totally. There’s been so many instances in German TV from shows that appear to be live and such, but end up being scripted. Two examples: “The Voice of Germany” purposefully forces people to sing songs they can’t perform well, and if they do perform well, they end up being kicked anyway. If they don’t sing the song - same. From the beginning, they know when every single one leaves the show and who ends up winning. Same goes for “germanys next topmodel”. It’s got a scripted progression with unscripted “story”.

    That‘s why when someone is really bad, the jury often says “you did bad today, but I got a feeling you’ll be much better tomorrow, so you stay in!”

    Don’t think the DEI people won by talent.





  • Long story short:

    Nintendo sold about 4-5x the amount of Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid and Xenoblade games on Switch than they did on WiiU and 3DS combined.

    Input of a Xeno-series fan: duh. WiiU didn’t sell well and despite Xenoblade Chronicles X (pronounced cross, same name as the main character) being good, it was no system seller. And Xenoblade Chronicles 3D didn’t sell well either, being one of only 11 New3DS games.

    Edit: the Kirby games on the 3DS were great! With Planet Robobot one of the best Kirby games ever.
