The odds of Nintendo releasing a 3ds with a second slide pad are close to none. Imagine the backlash they'd get from rendering every single 3ds unit sold until now completely useless.

If any of you guys haven't played Tales Of Phantasia on PSX, do it now. Played it for the first time a couple of years ago and it's easily one of my favorite games of all time now.

Take a break from Metal Gear, bro. Make a new Snatcher or something. You know you want to.

Nobody's getting laid off, the studio is just getting absorbed into the larger company, Namco Bandai.

With Xillia selling really well, and rumors of a Xillia anime, I'm 100% positive Tales games will still be churned out. The only reason they're absorbing the studio is to keep everything under one roof. The 109 employees of the Tales studio still have jobs. So before everyone freaks out, Tales isn't going anywhere.

Couldn't agree more. Worst Metroid game I've ever played.

Picked it up at the midnight launch, having a fucking blast with it.

My copy of The Idolm@ster 2 came in today. Skyrim can fuck off.

Man, so much hate for an optional service that nobody is being forced to use.

You're not downloading a UMD, that doesn't make any sense. You're downloading a second, digital copy, at a reduced price.

Why can't we just wish for an attainable future where both genres are big sellers?

I'll just be here, waiting for the next rise of JRPG's.

She's a girl. Name's Ali Baba. She's the thief of the game.

HNNGGG dat MG Sandrock

I'm a big fan of her voice acting, and will go out of my way to play games/ watch anime she has a part in. Nurse Witch Komugi Chan was pretty hilarious.

What about arcade games like Beatmania/Pop n' Music/DDR? A new version of each of those comes out almost every year and they continue to make Konami a ton of money. They're really fun games too.

The writer in question had nothing to do with Chaos Head or Stein's Gate. He wrote "Kikokugai - The Cyber Slayer," "Phantom of Inferno," and "Saya no Uta." All those VNs are available in english in one way or another, if you're interested. I can see how someone might not like Madoka, but if you don't think Saya no Uta…

The light novels are written by the guy who wrote most of Nitro+'s good VNs, as well as the Madoka Magica anime. What's not the be excited about?

It's a Visual Novel/Eroge about a war for the "Holy Grail," Involving two-person teams of a Master, and a Servant. It's pretty rad.

The only Fate/ related thing that had adult content was the original PC game. The ps2 version, spin off games, anime, manga, movie, etc have all been free of porn :3
