I wish it was more like Smash though and less like...whatever it is. The mechanic to only win with supers destroys any desire for me to play, and feels more like a party game where you mash buttons.

Good is a relative term.

...are there no shields in this game or they just not using them?

This is easily solved:

But how much farther can we go into space and truly learn more about ourselves as a species? We've had pictures of the earth from so far away it was but a speck.

Actually, it's not just a double paywall- it's a triple paywall.

So much negativity and doom talk already.

I'd put the top 2 controllers as the 360 followed by Gamecube. 360 only wins because of dual analog being much better than using the C-stick in the Gamecube.

I see a Pokemon Ranch title using this. Allowing transfer to your DS titles.

I can agree with that to an extent. The 3DS didn't have a very big game at launch, but Zelda was out by now. Vita had some big games at launch, but doesn't have any about to come out or just came out.

I've tried one out twice, didn't find it appealing enough to purchase.

Not sure. Sony wouldn't have cut the price of the Vita like Nintendo did to move units. And they sure as hell wouldn't have given anyone 20 free games if they did.

The Star Fox X Metroid title was debunked last I heard and they've claimed Metroid isn't what they want to do, they'd like to give someone else a try at it.

...not you're making me feel old. I was in high school and everyone had one.

Not for Nintendo. I've heard of events on Wednesday and Thursday, but haven't heard anything for Monday yet.

I see it going down like this:

Teased by Retro employees?

Can I say any other Nintendo made-game? Like Mario, Kid Icarus, Mario Kart?...

There were a good handful of competitors: SEGA Game Gear and Nomad, Atari Lynx, and the TurboExpress for example. Both of SEGA's systems did decently, but never saw the success the Gameboy did. Hell, since the GBC is counted within Gameboy figures- I'm not sure any console has done as well as the Gameboy (including…

Ya know, I can't think of other hardware that had such issues. The DS a bit, but the marketing with it was different as Nintendo was uncertain how people would feel about the 2 screens.
