Yeah but, sometimes a change isn't the worst. I'm sure that some hardcore fans will bitch no matter how great a potential new Mother entry done by other people would be, but there's nothing that would stand in the way really. So it's by no means "impossible" (neither by physical, people, nor economic/business…

Why would he dictate the words to a programmer? Programmers don't put the text in games.

Compared to the total scope of the game, having a woman as a purely aesthetic choice (you don't even have to adapt skills, etc.) wouldn't have been too hard to do.

I guess they won't release this for Xbox 360 with Kinect 1.0, even though that system would be perfectly capable of this.

Well, it's at least unlikely, but it's not impossible. People can change, and people at certain positions may change. In 10 years, with different people, maybe it becomes feasible.

Too bad E3's over. It would have been cool if Nintendo just out of nowhere announced another highly anticipated thing (whatever that may be for you, a new Metroid, a new Mother, a Mother 3 western release, whatever), just to top it off.

Also true :)

Tell me more about jailbroken 3DS. Especially about region-lock removal, if possible.

Also, remember, it's almost certain you can get a Zelda bundle by then with a Zelda-design Wii U.

Why would it be pushed back? Nintendo's record is that what they announce usually sticks. Sometimes stuff even comes out earlier.

"One thing you'll never get from Nintendo is the "we're totally focused on delivering unique entertainment experiences" nonsense-speak that plagues the rest of E3."

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story was kinda Bowser's game.

You know, just hiring people and throwing them randomly at projects isn't going to make these projects great. That would be typical manager babbling who think of developers as "human resources".

The next Metroid is in captivity.

Well, the transformation analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog all happened at the end stations. The actual transfer, which could be defined as the main part of the "download", was therefore analog. The downloaded data itself was digital though, true. So I guess it all depends on how you define "download" :)

Analog download -> remember 56k modems?

With most consoles, including Xbox 360 (notoriously), but some PS3 cases too, especially, the loading times don't increase by installing it on a faster medium. Sometimes that's due to implementation details in the loading process (asynchronous loading of some assets for instance), or due to the file system (especially…

The drawing skills involved.

Actually the picture you're referring to has a typical pin-up pose, not a "helplessness clumsy" pose.

Oh believe me, she's furry "down there".
