In some ways I can agree with what you are saying Rick.

Coming from someone who has been playing since Gen 1, Gen 3 is probably the worst overall and Gen 1 probably being the second best. Gen 5 really does have absolutely amazing designs. Nostalgia lacing is incredible and if you think it isn't then you just prefer safe, animal based designs. They still hold up, but they…

To be clear, Little Busters is NOT based on porn. It's based on a visual novel, and the original version of Little Busters is all ages. Yes, it does have it's hentai version, but it isn't originally based on a hentai.

I like it because the main character is modeled after the voice actor, Troy Baker. Because Troy Baker.

I was going to get this, it was one of the reasons I'd bought a 3DS in the first place. Then I read it didn't have EXP. I didn't buy it but was going to wait for a discount, now I read that story isn't important to Paper Mario. That's honestly what made the first two so great. I'm sure the game still has its charm but…

FellowMusicFan. Because I like music like you do. And yeah. There you go...

Sparse amounts of people actually own the Vita. I personally don't know anyone who has one and that's saying a lot because I have a ton of friends I game with.

If I were filthy rich I'd pay it just for them to clean WHILE I WAS GONE FROM THE HOUSE. Just for funsies.

Moxie ability Salamance says hi.

A great game is a great game and transcends nostalgia if it attracts newer users over generations. Also, the mechanics have stayed nearly the same for so many years because, quite honestly, you don't fix what most view to not be broken.

Yeah, and the AI back then had the same exact strategy. Fun Fact: You could beat Lance's Dragonite with a level 11 Zubat. The AI is programmed to use whatever is super effective against its opponent. Agility is Psychic on Lance's Dragonite and he'll continuously use it until it runs out of PP against a poison type…

"They think all there is to Poké is Attack." This is the exact reason I crush most Pokemon teams I face. I don't care how awesome he looks, Charizard is HORRIBLE! You're 25 man! Nostalgia has to wear off at some point.

While I've always loved Nintendo and never owned a Wii I really like what the Wii U is presenting unlike the Wii. While the Wii has some great games the overall console didn't justify for me to buy one. Now I can play all the great games I missed from the Wii too. However, I'll wait till after the launch window. I do…

Sadly this is a truth. I honestly believe it was due to a lack of ad campaigns and general interest in the brand after the late 1990's. Going into 2000 and beyond they were losing out to other products with heavy advertisement like Apple, Vizio, Samsung, LG, Audiophile, and several other companies. They used to have…

Advertisement and branding power. Familiarity and mistrust of the unknown. Also, not related to what he is saying but popular franchises that publishers keep pushing on us year after year lead to a lack of creativity and evolution of our hobby. Quite frankly, video games popularity has sort of become its own worst…

Ditto.

I literally signed in after 8 months just to say that, again, Tales of Vesperia is not on this list. Again. Neither is Alan Wake nor is Project Gotham Racing 4, nor is Forza Motorsport 4. Smaller genre or no they are some of the greatest games on the system. In terms of quality they outshine half of that list but hey,…

Travesty what happened over at Andriasang.

You should come over to The Verge's gaming section. Most of us are over there on the forums. You can find us under the Polynauts Central section in the forums. It's a lot of fun.

I was mainly being sarcastic with that one but it's hard to tell because I never use emoticons. Kind of surprised you're still here at Kotaku.
