Games blogger and 1up staffer Jeremy Parish recently received a review copy of the ostentatious DS RPG Contact from Atlus, and was surprised to find this:
It may be a low blow by Atlus' localization staff, and its certainly a joke that only internet-savvy gamers would understand, but it fits the game's tongue-in-cheek self-referential style seen at E3. Atlus is apparently going for high art in execution while still keeping things light and fresh, which will keep the Earthbound comparisons rolling until people actually play the game.

If, however, it was while fighting a GIANT ENEMY CRAB, then we could be more sure. Not sure how you could fit the IT'S RIDGE RACER in there, but if it has REAL-TIME WEAPON CHANGE they should mention that too.

The PS3 is turning out to be the joke that I was initially afraid "Wii" would become.

The only ones i can think of are:
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced
Baten Kaitos (only becuz u are a spirit or whatever in the game)
MegaMan Battle Network (sorta becuz of the net world and the real world)
Eternal Darkness (...well its more like u play as a character that is playing through a book:confused
Viewtiful Joe (sort of cuz u play a character who plays in a movie world?)
Either way i think none of these have made the concept as compelling as Contact so im definitely(hah didn't use "defiantly" :thumbsup
keeping an eye on it.

Like when I play Animal Crossing in my basement, and in the game, my character is in his basement playing video games?

It neglects to mention the most revolutionary thing offered by the PS3: Real-time weapon switching.
And the Warhawk demo. Nothing beats watching that guy wrench on that poor Dual Shake, as his aircraft bounces off mountains.
Sony really saved Nintendo from the entire Wii fiasco.

If it were "just the obvious" then that smug, little smiley wouldn't be there...
