Square Enix has always been known for popular RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, but one video game series that has graduated from niche popularity to worldwide acclaim in recent years is NieR. A spin-off to the Drakengard games, the original NieR installment was released in 2010 but wasn’t received that well due to some odd circumstances revolving around a few different reviews. However, seven years later, a sequel called NieR: Automata came out and is considered to be one of the greatest games of all time by many players....

GungHo has adjusted the Ninjala ranking system to allow players to “gain ranks more easily,” however, players have quickly reported that the changes are disappointingly insignificant. Pre-update, highly ranked ninjas would expect a handful of rank points - perhaps two - for defeating a similarly ranked team. Since the update, players have reported receiving amounts ranging from four to five. For scale: a ninja must earn 1,200 rank points before earning the Elite Ninja title, and an additional 500 (so a total of 1,700) to reach the following one....

With over a decade already in the portable gaming industry before Sony even reared its head, Nintendo had already established itself as the leader of the market. But that didn’t deter Sony, and in the late 2000s-early 2010s, the two industry juggernauts were engaged in a fierce battle for control over the handheld gaming market, leading to some bold pricing decisions, decisions which are pretty interesting in hindsight.

The latest person to offer their two cents on the matter is Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. In an interview with Bloomberg, the Nintendo executive said, “Loot boxes, broadly speaking, have gotten a bit of a bad rap.” Fils-Aime compared the business model to baseball cards as the people buying them are spending money without being sure of what’s inside.
