I suppose Nintendo is what happens when you focus your polish on something other than making the game world feel real/combat feel visceral enough. I suppose I don't give AAA devs enough credit for the amount of work they also put into their games, but it seems like the big difference is where the work is focused.

Good on you for that... bad on them for the ass-backward thinking that made them believe it's okay to not give enough information in quest text to play the game without literal arrows pointing out where to go. It's just so against the very nature of what a series like TES is about...

Aren't there some sites with content for 3DS? Or I suppose at least sites that have images available to download in 3DS' format.

My suggestion, as this is what I'm playing right now and prior to this I thought Oblivion and Morrowind were far superior (but now I'm really starting to find Skyrim better):

I love role-playing. I've been through Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim in the last year alone doing tons of that (replaying each, as I've played them all quite a bit before) and it's still great fun.

I have little experience with the Wii browser, but from what I remember, you hold B to start scrolling around. It's like when you middle click and it creates that little circle thing and wherever you drag the mouse, the page starts scrolling that way. So, if you're not holding B, it doesn't drag the page around.

I wasn't a fan of how Borderlands 2 did it. Even though I got the GOTY Extra Special Best Full Edition, I still see a ton of little DLC things in there which I didn't get. Cool aesthetic stuff I'd like to have but which costs like $2.50... I hate to think you can buy the full game and the 'give me everything' DLC…

I'd jump on the bandwagon of "boo DLC" if Nintendo offered a "fixed" battle mode as DLC. THAT would get the angry-juices going, because if this game is missing anything (well... aside from any sort of options screen to speak of) it's a decent battle mode.

They were doing that back in Mario 64.

That's what I find really neat about Nintendo a lot of the time. AAA developers put a lot of attention into details of their world and narrative. They want to do everything possible to make sure you're never "taken out" of the experience. But oftentimes, that does just as much to cheapen the play as it does to keep…

This is one of the reasons I really love Nintendo. They do stuff like this, which is really technically awesome, and totally unnecessary but really adds something awesome to this experience which you would never notice on its own, and they don't run around flapping their gums about their amazing technical…

Actually, tool-assisted just means that it's using special methods to generate the inputs, and nothing more. Tool-assisted runs can be really interesting, though, because it gives you the power to precisely control every button and stick on the controller in every frame of gameplay, as well as the ability to…

Maybe... Pikachu alternate "outfit"?

I only knew about his Vine account before, but nice to see the slightly longer format videos here.

I love the vibe this game has going for it. Monstrous, alien, but calm and relaxed. Really, not a lot of games out there just invite you to interact with a strange, new world and see what you can find, and this looks like it's exactly that. I tend to prefer 'gameplay' games over 'story' ones but this kind of seems…

I may have not been paying attention to that part. I was rather distracted by that nervous looking infant on-screen.

What do the two "f"s stand for?

Babies are annoyingly androgynous, right?

I think the creepiest part is that, in the video, the baby is constantly wearing this vaguely terrified expression. His eyebrows consistently make him look upset, and the rest of his expression keeps bouncing back and forth between terrified/about to cry, and smiling... and the smile seems super fake because he still…

To be fair, when I think "next gen" (or I guess it's current gen now) I think "no games".
