@ThePastelPunk Agreed, fun’s the word. It’s overstuffed like everyone knew it would be. I don’t think it’s overall as “good” as the other two, but it sets out to be a fun time with a bunch of characters you want to see again, and that’s exactly what it is.

The decade of GOTYs is simultaneously harder and easier than I thought. There were some years where I just didn't play nearly as many games (like the last two) but on a lot of years I thought would be hard, you just look at a list and say "fuck that came out then? Obviously that"
@JeffGrubb In the same way the EA Sports games are in danger of getting supplanted. Not likely to happen because of the strength of the license and the sheer momentum of the thing. But those guys sure seem complacent at the top of that hill.
@ThePastelPunk As per a reddit comment I don't know the source of: Kamikaze Douga, Geno Studio, Studio Colorido, Studio Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Science SARU, and Production I.G.
@AngeeGabs Depends on who’s idea it was. If the employee suggested it, they might still be faking, but your odds are pretty good. If the employee was sure they were out and the customer insisted they check anyway, yeah, they just went for a walk
