This is one of the few 8/16-bit newgames that I find interesting. I think it'll make a perfect 3DS download.

About time. I can't hate on COD as a good game, or online FPSs as a good genre- but we can all admit that it reigns supreme because it caters to the most base behaviors of the popular public, and the more addictive side of video games (I'm not throwing stones- I actually get quite helplessly addicted to Pokemon from…

EMBARACED. I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO SPELL IMBAREUS. HOW DO YOU SPELL EMBEARUS?

Also, people tend to forget that controllers don't cost 20 bucks anymore- they usually cost more than a damn game! N64 is the last system of mine that had 4 controllers. My Gamecube had 2, and my PS2 had 1. No other console I've bought since then got any more controllers than it came with.

Anybody else notice the classically hand-drawn picture of each character to represent their life count on the upper left of the screen, in classic Mario 2/3 style? This hits home for me particularly- somebody who's been griping the lack of hand drawn booklet and in-game art in favor of mainstay CG crap since the…

Effectiveness....... Level: Not.

Nah- I'm 34, and I still love playing video games. It has more to do with games becoming extremely more complicated to play and look at. When every game looks like real life, they begin to feel boring.

I feel exactly the same. While most popular games are pushing the bounds of power and scripting, they're becoming less accessible and simply enjoyable. I find that I have trouble when my game breaks into a cut scene after every few things I do, whereas I seem to find it less disruptive if I simply have to read what…

Shit- I wish they had these in NY..... but they'd still probably be around 1200 bucks a month.

If you listen to any Japanese people say it, it's "Poh-KEH-mon".

I'm gonna have to take a break right in the middle of my conventional 200+ hour Pokemon run to tear through this game. LTTP was my favorite game for a big chunk of my life, and is still my favorite Zelda game.

About time!! Kirby is one of those brands that does best in it's original intention. I like the offshoots like Mass Attack and Canvas Curse, but I need a fix for the simple inhale-and-get-a-power with naught but a new world to adventure through.

Let's not compare good looking RPGs to Final Fantasy anymore, even if they are made by Square Enix. The Final Fantasy brand has served a few good meals yeeeears ago- now they just shit on your plate and hope you'll take a bite and pay for it.

So many horrible fighting games were inspired by Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat. I'm not making any decisive forecasts about this game's quality, but, I just thought I'd even out that simple statement. Let's not forget the old "Zelda Inspired" descriptive that usually precedes some of the most horrible and…

The running motions and faces of the sprites suggest that they were directly templated from Crono's own sprite. I dunno how to feel about that.

Modern contracts, I bet.

Fair enough. Nintendo actually made a substantial update that adds function- good on them!

So I assume this also means I can play my original Wii VC titles on the gamepad screen?

I just bought an engagement ring. And I set my Charizard free. It's been good, buddy- but you're no match for a Blastoise.

I feel that if a game originated in Japan, and has subtitles ANYWAY..... why not keep the original audio on it as well as the English audio? I don't always have problems with English voice acting in foreign games.... but sometimes they're more comical than anything. Soul Calibur, anybody?
