When is Conduit coming out there? Water Warfare may be a good substitute until it does come out. I just realized I do not know when it releases there. (Hopefully without the horrid optimization issues Sega's other game, Madworld.)
Then it's hardly a "Special" Edition. It's just an Edition.
The 120 stars have always been an optional thing and nothing else.
They're not optional if you actually want to get the enjoyment the designers intend from the game, because usually those first 50-60 required stars are the least interesting in the entire game to collect. The "A" material tends to come with the last 30 or so stars, so you still have to slog through a large portion of unnecessary collecting just to get to the good parts of game. At least that's what I've gotten from the last 3 3D Mario games.
Right, it's like getting accustomed to being a driver on the left side of the car in Amerikaland as opposed to right-side in Euroland. Everybody simply already learned it one way and is fine keeping it that way.

Let me clarify, I meant game developer pioneer. Maybe I should change it to "Gaming's Greatest Game Makers"
John Romero lost his standing back in the 90s. I would rank Richard Garriot fourth behind Carmack overall. Sid Meier is in the top ten, along with Pete Molineux and Michel Ancel and Hideo Kojima.
I always Nolan Bushnell more of a hardware maker, not a game dev. Same with Gunpei. I didn't know the name of the guy who made the pong clone. Who made Spacewar?
As a gaming pioneer, John Carmack and id is only second to Will Wright and Maxis.
HAHAHA. OH WOW.

I honestly feel the Australian system, government regulated, is better than all you other countries clown ****. The same board; the Classification Board, rate every movie, dvd, video game, book and the ratings are standard across everything. Well nearly. Games still don't have R (or X but you know) and until they do, anything that would be rated R gets banned. Luckily though, not a single game I give a **** about has been banned yet.
Having games the size of postage stamps makes it more likely the games might get lost. This is a major downside to having things small... I'm sure it would be possible to go even smaller than the size of MicroSD cards if one really wanted to, but if its so tiny you could accidentally inhale it then that';s just too small...
So while stuff CAN certainly keep getting smaller, I think a line needs to be drawn when you get to the size of a credit card or so. Smaller is nice to an extent, but you don't something easily lost or broken... and heck, its theoretically possible a kid could choke to death by trying to swallow his games. I'm surprised this hasn't happened already with the Nintendo DS games... but you definitely don't want to go any smaller than that or it surely will.
PS3 needs the Burger King games. Not having those is what killed it.
