sweet. Hope I have enough money to buy the system sometime soon after launch. Don't think I will though, since I already have a 3DS and I'm a broke-ass college student XP

I would certainly agree with that :P

Fair enough. I guess that "people are angered" just felt so vague and sweeping to me. Some, or even a lot? That I would agree with

whoops. Sorry, didn't read your entire post -____-

So wait... When there was no second thumbstick, it was said that the 3DS should have had one. Now that there will be one it's suddenly a gimmick?

I think it's supposed to be pointing out the fact that it's a 3D mario game with stages that are relatively linear (I would say 2D, but they're not...)

there's a difference between writing opinion articles and giving news with underhanded comments aimed at the thing (which he's been doing A LOT)

"No, but that's cause it's optional"

Because Brain decides how all 3DS owning kotaku readers feel, apparently

The overpricing pissed me off, yes, but I don't see how the system is obsolete. The second circle pad is an add-on that's entirely optional for a good 5-10 games at the moment. If it become a requirement and we don't see it packaged in with whatever game requires it (for a lesser cost than what it costs to buy alone),…

I'd like to add a "fifth" - all of the games that will be using this have it as an optional add on. It's not like you have to buy the thing to play them

uh, I payed $250 for it, and I'm not upset (especially since it's not mandatory for any games at this point, and if it ever is, the game will come with it for a reasonable price, I'm sure). This is one man's opinion. Please, don't let his feelings about the system put words into the mouths of everyone who bought a 3DS…

it's a Wii game. It'll cost $50 for the base version, and the special version will probably cost between $60 and $70, depending on what's bundled with it

to echo some other responses... hearted for being rational :D

I feel like there would be far fewer complaints about it if NOA had gotten a good voice actress for Samus. Unfortunately, they didn't :P

well, seeing as they haven't released fatal frame here (any of them? I can't remember), I wouldn't be surprised if Shinrei Camera didn't get released. Fire Emblem on the other hand... They'd have to be insane not to release

I've heard paper scissors rock (and of course rock paper scissors), but never paper rock scissors

the fact that the switch is in the "off" position is what gave it away for me

this is truly amazing. I forgot about this XD

I know. I was just amazed that an author on IGN would actually admit something like that
