Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy turnips which can then be traded on the stalk market to make you happy. Sooooo....

Sit back and enjoy as the Giant Bomb team takes an unedited look at the latest video games.

Wait at the end the winner.... Would Brad actually win if he had the amibo? That is kinda BS. If he had the amibo +30 happyness he would have won, and Drew would have gotten second place!!!

That is an incredibly unfair setup what I just said in the spoiler brackets.

@alavapenguin: Yup! Now if only I could work up the effort to get mad at a really dumb, local-multiplayer-only game for being literally pay-2-win.

If only... *sigh*

Good show but the game was so painfully boring. It wasn't even funny bad to watch. I kind of don't know how a game this simple even got released.

The look that Dan gives the camera after he gets his Shtick joke read out to him is priceless. This is the funniest content. I love this.

They managed to make a version of Mario Party which is ten times more boring and requires far less skill (that is, requires zero skill). It's impressive really.

Not even the GB guys could make this game halfway tolerable. I honestly cannot believe that Nintendo put this out, allowed its name to be on it, anything. Nasty money grab.

I think you mean Drew would have won and Brad would have been second, but yeah, it's BS. But hey, it's basically a product made to sell Amiibos and make money, so good job Nintendo.

It was fun and illuminating to watch it live.

I honestly cannot believe that Nintendo put this out, allowed its name to be on it, anything. Nasty money grab.

I can believe in the goal to make a simple video board game with the charm and pleasantness of Animal Crossing. It just didn't turn out well; it happens.

But one interview with a development team member has them basically saying they wanted an excuse to make Animal Crossing amiibo. So yeah.

"I don't want to be Isabelle." This is the most controversial thing @danryckert has ever said.

This game seems not good. That's my take on this game that they are playing. Seems...like an ersatz predatory Mario Party?

I would love to see how many times each number came up during the dice rolls. Multiple 1s seemed to happen quite a bit.

Also 30 point bonus is totally unfair

The Mario Party's they have been playing are over 12 years old, while this is a 2015 release. Think about that.
