1. No Greg?! *tear* He's probably busy dancing about the Bills 41-7 victory this past weekend.
But, this Chris Kohler guy!? I'm citing one of his articles in a research paper I'm working on! Life imitates work!...or something.
2. I agree that dual-analog is not really that big of a deal. But, there are certain Japanese games that
I really want a second stick for. Kid Icarus, RE:Rev, MH ... and I'm sure the list will only get bigger as time goes on.
3. GhostTrick eh? hmm, sounds pretty interesting. I'd ignored it up 'til now but maybe I should rethink that.
4. "wtf is going on in Japan lately?!" LOL! classic.
4. I loves me some Monster Hunter. If you don't get it? I don't blame you... When I played the Wii demo of Tri I thought it was the worst thing I'd ever played. 500+ hours on the retail disc later? I'm still loving it.
Also, Tri G does adds a bunch of new monsters... it may not seem like a big deal, but it is a considerable amount of content when you consider the game is MONSTER Hunter.
5. Well, man... this circle pad stuff is killin' me at the moment.
Sounds like we're going down that "terrible rabbit hole" Jonny mentioned.
A revision in the near future would piss-off early adopters even more and a late revision would just get us stuck in a horrific, fragmented audience that makes every new game announcement a cluster-eff of "will it or won't it."
6. Can't wait for DQX. It will be awesome and I really don't think a sub fee is coming outside Japan.
James, don't forget DQ3 really let you create your own party and that was a billion years ago. Roughly.
7. I don't understand. Everyone criticized Nintendo for making games that sell a ton but aren't very "hardcore." Now we're criticizing them for making Zelda and Star Fox and not making enough casual money printers?
