So apparently Katie Couric ran an hour-long piece about video games and how they ruin lives and make some people kill people last Monday, which upset some gamers. So Katie decided to rectify the situation by asking gamers what they think the positive aspects of violent games are… via Twitter!
Passionate gamers upset w convo whether violent video games can contribute to v behavior. Tweet the positive side of violent v games? Thanx!

She says she’s going to use the replies in an upcoming show, but we don’t know what the show was about. I think we all know by this point that this argument is useless to have. People who run specials about video games being a catalyst for violence but neglect to do the same for some significantly larger contributing factors aren’t people I care much to debate with!
You know what would be neat? If Wii games were available through the Wii U eShop. Like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, maybe.
But there isn’t a way to grab digital Wii games in any form – meaning that a digital re-release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is out of the question.
Even if it were possible, the previous agreement would need to be amended or a new one would need to be created, according to Capcom’s Christian Svensson who commented on the situation a couple of months ago:
“There’s no plans I’m aware of and as you point it, it would mean Capcom Japan amending the prior agreement or creating a new one as well as potentially new development, unless Nintendo at some point has plans to release Wii ISOs digitally (which I’m not aware of happening).”
A quick glance at Amazon
shows that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is available at retail for around $25. If you haven’t already purchased the game, that’s not a bad price!
Since Shadow of the Eternals’ leak, Precursor Games has shared a few, official details about its game.
The crowdfunding campaign will officially begin on Monday. Precursor will be looking to raise $1.5 million – not $1.1 million as originally thought – for a total of 12 episodes. Numerous stretch goals will be included.
Precursor’s “primary goal for Shadow of the Eternals is to raise 1.5M dollars. Any money raised beyond this will contribute to stretch goals that go beyond the first episode, including future episodes, additional characters, additional platforms and in-game perks. The more money that we raise, the more we can deliver, which is a win for everyone.”
