Something else I thought of: In the original RSE series, wasn't it pieces of a meteorite strewn about somewhere that served to transform Deoxys into his different forms? If so, then this feeds that reasoning as well. No matter what, I would be unlikely to get a copy of Z or Delta Emerald if they weren't different…

Delta Episode is a taste of the upcoming Emerald Delta. The different timelines are a way to explain that things will be different in Emerald, although it's the same world- kind of like Black/White 2 were. Nintendo ruined their ability to hack an easy part 3 with those. Decoding Nintendo's plans don't go as deep as…

In honesty, it'll go one of two ways: he'll be paid DLC sometime (probable, since I don't see Sakurai wanting online players to have something others don't, even if it doesn't technically give them an advantage), or Nintendo will nix Smash as a DLC platform altogether, meaning it's just a bonus like the aforementioned…

No it's not. If it were, it would be twice as messed up to leave them out unless they opened their wallets more, which is only the norm because gamers let it be.

I'm guessing part of it is the data for Mewtwo, so online players will have the data to play against a Mewtwo player even if they don't have him themselves- amongst other near-future DLC assets.

This was dope- thanks! You know what's kinda cool and kinda sad? Most of this footage looks more Zelda in respect to the first three than the final OOT turned out. Don't get me wrong- I like OOT. I just think Zelda got a weird feel that started on the N64 going forward, and OOT in particular, that not only became…

The point being, if you say video games are art, then you should see games for what they are, not what you want them to be. I want the Mona Lisa to have eyebrows and red hair- should I petition to change that? Or are you saying that video games are not art, but a consumer product- one that you don't have to buy if you…

Germany invested money into the tampering of the arts once as well.

My entire family is loving and supportive as can be. My Mom's sister married a heart surgeon and had two daughters, in the same generation group as myself and most of my cousins and my brother. They were afforded private schooling that dedicated them to programs and courses at which they excelled. One of them is a…

My top 5:

Have you ever bought a Genesis game and realized it doesn't work in your PSOne? Have you ever bought a glass of wine and realized it doesn't work in your toaster? Yeah, your argument is situationally invalid and just proves the confusion and anger this is causing is valid.

That's the way you see it- I see it as disgust in having to re-buy the same current-gen system to play some of its games. I don't discount the performance, which could be used to speed up and smooth out the overall basic performance. The NFC thing is a non-issue to me. The reshaping isn't much of a thing to me…

I said they fucked up at launch, but it wasn't completely apparent until some time after launch that most of the games we were looking forward to were too far over the horizon. Many systems after the 32/64bit era launch with very slim pickings, but we buy them knowing that good games are coming soon. The marketing…

The DSi XL was a substantial functional upgrade. I never bought one, but my experience playing my friend's DSi XL played a huge role in my upgrading to the 3DS XL. In fact, I had wished I didn't just buy a DSi at the time, because the XL would have been a worthy upgrade, and I probably wouldn't have had such buyer's…

It was expensive, and there wasn't much to play on it. The difference is that I had been paying attention to it naturally through the avenues of my normal internet gaming news intake followed by personal exploration of the info available. Not everybody does that, bay a large margin. If I hadn't been looking at the…

Personal experience or not, it did happen to just about everybody I know by the time the DSi dropped, so I find that to be of substantial note.

Well, it was marketed poorly and scarcely. I blame the marketing because those in the know, such as myself and most other people who paid attention to Nintendo on websites and forums- those who knew it was more than a DS with new features- couldn't wait for it to land on the open market, and were enjoying it out of…

The DSi sold great for two reasons:

Also, part of their initial 3DS failure was not the unit's inability to compete with the DS- it was their mistake for not differentiating it through proper marketing. People thought it was just a DS-no more powerful-with a 3D option. Once people learned it was a new console with loads more power, it picked up, even…

Forget a new system- my problem is them making current gen games that don't work on a current gen system, and offering a solution of paying top dollar for a current gen system.5 for that ability. When it comes to hardware, work within the constraints if the current gen and respect the dollars we paid for the right to…
