@TJ

That's what Play Coins are for.  If you're not going to use Play Coins then you might as well purchase an airline ticket to Tokyo if you ever plan on finishing the puzzles.

"Fall" is not a date.  It's a season.  A date is a specific day that can be circled on a calendar.

TalkBack / Re: Original Wii U Design Used Analog Sticks Instead of Circle Pad?

« on: March 01, 2012, 11:12:07 AM »

Wish they would go back to that design.  I much prefer the feel of the raised analog stick to the slide pad.  I can understand the slide pad on the 3DS because the device needs to fold clamshell-style to remain easily portable, however that is not a necessity for a home console controller.

Mario pronounces his own name correctly...and that is how it should be pronounced.

Just like they'll introduce HD when the "time is ripe"...which of course is also about 7 years too late.

« on: January 26, 2012, 08:35:36 AM »

The abstract says that it will be a Japanese release. It is still mentioned early on.

People click on the story because of the HEADLINE.  There is a huge difference between "Punch-Out!! Coming to 3DS Virtual Console" and "Punch-Out!! Coming to Japanese 3DS Virtual Console" particularly when this is primarily a US website.

Not to mention that the Twitter feed NEVER mentions this fact either (and with plenty of characters remaining).  It's almost to the point where the site is losing credibility when it comes to news stories.

The headline SHOULD read "Punch-Out!! Coming to Japanese 3DS Virtual Console"

This critical "Japanese" or "European" qualifier seems to be left off of news article headlines quite frequently.  And that's pretty misleading.

WTF NOA?  Entire world is announced except for NA.  Now other regions games are available and NOA still hasn't even announces the games.  I am getting disheartened with NOA more and more. This is to the point of being ridiculous.

So it's twice the anticipated price AND it can only be purchased at GameStop?  Way to go Nintendo.  Morons.

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo 3DS Price Reduction a Success in North America

« on: September 08, 2011, 10:19:43 PM »

Remember what Iwata said about the PS3 price drop:

"Sales that result from a price drop have no longevity."

I believe the 3DS will be a long-term success as long as Nintendo doesn't go and piss off all of their cutomers by releasing a 3DS redesign next year that obsoletes the current model.  However it's going to take more than one month of good sales brought on by a price drop to fix the 3DS' problems.

That's the same price as the DLC subscription 5-pack AFAIK.  I only paid $20 for the 5 games on the PSN the day episode 1 launched.  Nevertheless, it's a great game -- well written and well acted.  Glad Wii owners will get the chance to play the series.

Why do are you looking for people who live in Lower Alabama and South Florida?  I though most of the game developers and conferences were in California.

I vote for Killer 7 because that game is so weird that it will inevitably result in an interesting discussion.

These do pop up on eBay every now and then.  In purchased a Japanese version several years ago for my US Wii (it works just fine across regions).  This is the best way to play VC games.  That adapter looks nice as well.  Cheaper too...I paid about $50 USD for the controller.  Worth every penny though.  It would be nice to have one in the NA SNES purple though, as that would be more true to my childhood memories.

I went for Beyond Good & Evil for several reasons.

First, it just sounds like an interesting game.

Second, it's available for the most amount of platforms and therefore the most accessible.  Being available on the download services and the GameCube as well, it is affordable and playable on all 3 current generation consoles.  The more people that have access to the game the bigger the discussion and the better the RetoActive episode.

I was hoping to load up the live stream on my iPhone browser, but apparently the flash "play button" to start the live stream isn't supported by the iPhone (at least it doesn't show up in the Safari browser...just a big blank white space below the RFN icon). 

Anyone have any idea how to stream this via my iPhone.  I can't sit by my computer for hours on end tomorrow but I want to catch the show.

The results are extremely close right now. I think this is probably the most even field we've ever had.

That's what was said in the last poll, only to find out in the end when Mother 3 won by a landslide that the previous comment was less than honest (as admitted to in a post after the results were posted).  I made the mistake of believing you last time.  Not this time though.
