Yes, it's real, and the version I got is beyond awesome.

I got a really big package in the mail today. It was filled with foam peanuts and a slightly smaller box containing...Conduit 2! Yes, that once-mythical, much anticipated sequel to the overrated, but still halfway decent, The Conduit from a few years ago. Remember that game? Lindemann loved it. Anyway, that's a big box for one game. There must be more in there! Let's rip it open!

Well, I kind of expected the game. The fact that I got the special edition (SCREW YOU, GAMESTOP!) is really nice. It includes an artbook and a bunch of unlockable in-game bonuses like gold armor and some special All-Seeing Eye.

The releases on Nintendo systems from April to June look terrible. Are we just spoiled or is this awful?

While most of us are still busy loving the hell out of Pilotwings Resort and Super Street Fighter IV on our shiny new 3DSes, there is still a large chunk of the Nintendo faithful that either couldn't afford or didn't want the 3DS at launch. If you're one of those people, I'm sure the next few months have your Nintendo gaming habit severely depressed. Currently, Nintendo does not have a game slated for release over the next two months, and the only game that looks to be for certain releasing in June is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

I was the envy of the pediatrics wing.

As the Newscast listeners among you are probably aware, I had joined co-host Nathan Mustafa in universally panning the launch lineup and feature list of Nintendo’s newest handheld, so much so that I was dead-set against buying one until June or when Resident Evil: Revelations came out, whichever was sooner. Well, Dead or Alive: Dimensions might’ve also forced my hand. Anyway, two or three weeks before launch, Andy Goergen revealed that he had broken down and pre-ordered the system. Neal’s rampant site coverage of his review system (and its games) had me beginning to shudder under the weight of peer pressure and awesomeness. The straw that broke the Titanotylopus’ back was playing a demo unit at Best Buy. It was my first time with the system. The 3D effect really sold me, and the Circle Pad was so precise and wonderful that I couldn’t help but love Pilotwings Resort.
