Game News Haikus: The Order: 1886, Pok?mon Shuffle, and more

Zen distilled stories

The first episode of Game News Haikus went over pretty well with people who watched it. If you’re one of those people, thanks for taking the time. If you’re not, maybe watch that one and the new one and every future episode? You know, if you want.

In this series, we take a look at the stories that gathered the most attention of the past week, and distill each one down to its essence. Here are the topics that the surly D. Takeshi Nakamura takes on this week:

• How short is too short? Controversy over The Order: 1886‘s length
• What the hell?! Captain Toad has a spin attack!
• Last Guardian ‘still in development’ despite trademark abandonment
• Pokémon Shuffle‘s microtransactions are even worse than I thought
• Review: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
• I bet you’d like some Predator in your Mortal Kombat X
• It’s been out a day and this Sonic amiibo is the biggest defect yet
