Human pain and suffering has been a form of entertainment for over two thousand years. It's deep rooted in every culture. Why would this be any different?


I'm not an advocate for these violent games, but I'm not against them either. Let people play what they want to play. There's no concrete data that it harms them mentally, so why not let them play it. I can understand if they are too young, but don't make these games AO so NO ONE can enjoy them.

Goldeneye had polish? lol


If that isn't the very definition of being "blinded by nostalgia" I don't know what is. I'll give you Perfect Dark, but not Goldeneye at all.

I seriously doubt Steve Jobs designed the iPhone with the Wii in mind. If anyone honestly thinks that, they are fools. Gaming in general, much less Nintendo, was barely a blip in Jobs' mind. He hated gaming, and begrudgingly put gaming on th iPhone.

How often do we do that with videogames?

Is that rhetorical? Because it happens to video games more than sports.

I don't know what list you're looking at, but the one Neal posted right above you has Zelda on it.

LOL, Tora and I both failed.

WHOA HOLY **** NEW TEEN TITANS YESSS


Edit: Ew, they're chibis. Ew, it's completely comedy driven. Ew, it seems like it won't even try to continue the original series. God dammit. I wouldn't exactly call this good news. You can bet that I'll watch it, but you can also but I'll hate it with a passion.

Because that was a 3DS list. Last time I checked, Skyword Sword wasn't on the 3DS.

That data you linked is 4 and a half years old. The ration is probably completely different now.

I hate the DSiXL. Hate it. It blows the screen up so much that sprite quality takes a nosedive and 3D polygons get all fuzzy.

So that means that there will be no Nintendo Network App? At least it's better than nothing.


And that also means that Spotpass will return on the Wii U?

that any WiiWare or VC game can just be copied to the RAM every time you play a game

I didn't know games could be "copied to the RAM".

Artwork for the finale by one the show creators. Considering that Korra seems to be wearing Equalist clothing, we can assum that hse tries to infiltrate their main base. And since Hiroshi is in the artwork, he's probably going to make a return.

I'd say it makes a lot more sense than their previous excuses for New Super Mario Bros. Wii not being online.

no it doesn't. It's just them being stuck 30 years in the networking past. I live in a world were starcraft online is a thing.

Plug in both SD cards into a computer. Delete anything off of the new SD card and copy over EVERYTHING from the old one. The 3DS won't know the difference.

If their games are entincing you, the lack of a second analog shouldn't matter. The games play fine without it. The reason why the Vita (and by extension, the PSP) can't just use one is because Sony keeps trying to make console gaming on their handhelds. You know what's a big thing with consoles? Dual analog sticks. At least Nintendo makes a different experience with their games.

You know that the PSP only had one analog nub, right, and that that nub made for some less-than-comfortable gaming, right?  A large part of my decision behind getting a Vita was to play my PSP games with a proper right analog stick for camera control (which has been quite nice, by the way).

The 3DS is getting there with software that interests me, but right now I'm only at 3 designed-for-3DS games that interest me: Castlevania - Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate; Resident Evil Revelations (which does have CPP support); and Kingdom Hearts DDD.  The handheld will need more than that before it entices me enough to forget how much I really disliked playing 3D games with only one nub on the PSP.

I was always under the impression that it was the nub itself that made it uncomfortable. If they had added a second one, it'd still be uncomfortable.

Why are you arguing with me? I wasn't the one who first used the word obscure. Cedric did. And considering he's 29...I guess even if you played with them as a child they're still obscure.

Chill out dude. You always sound like you're pissed off... just relax.

I wasn't pissed. I sound intense because, well, I'm a very intense guy.

Hmm...good question.  Maybe Bioware or Ubisoft?
