That's so true, Dynamite Headdy was also set in a play. Man . . . nothing competes with Treasure games.

If the actual physics and platforming in this are as tight as they appear to be, then this game could be everything I wanted from Little Big Planet that I didn't get. People may come down hard on the current face of Japanese development . . . but nothing compares to the feel of a Japanese sidescroller . . . color me…

Not just a feel, but a look too. Check out Kusanagi's hair. The Remember Me girl has the same eartails and everything. The developers clearly took some inspiration from GiTS.

Well if the initial trailer from earlier didn't convince me, this footage does. Remember Me is definitely the best unofficial Ghost in the Shell game that we're ever gonna get. I'll expect PC modders to do up a purple hair skin for the lead character post-haste.

Hmmmm . . . looks like it has some merit.

As a fan of anything by Matsuno and Level-5, I'd certainly be lining up for this one. Between Princess Crown, Bravely Default, and now this possibility, the argument for me to finally buckle down and buy a 3DS becomes more convincing by the day.

My copy's been paid off since like April. Prettymuch counting down the hours at this point.

I don't have the patience for import RPGs, but you're right, Ys games are fairly straightforward. Plus, there's always FAQs to help you out.

I think alot of people see Satoshi Urishihara's art and think that, but there's just as many people who probably see his hentai work and say "hey it's art from that guy who makes strategy RPGs." He's been working with Career Soft since the original Langrisser came out in 1991, so he's been involved with gaming for…

Ironically, that is the game that would make me buy a Vita without pause.

As the great Thundercleese once said, "Time is an abstract concept created by mortals to mark their decay."

Jason, it fills me with alot of hope to hear such praise about Last Story vs. Xenoblade. Like you, I thought Xenoblade was a good game, just not a GREAT game. I lost interest in that title fairly quickly. I'm hoping that Last Story will dig its claws into me much deeper. From what I've read, it's a tighter, more…

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but it totally will work. I've done similar exchanges on multiple occasions. You just have to be careful not to abuse the lenient return policy habitually. If you don't have a receipt, they'll take alot of info down in their system, and if they see you do it ALL the…

Buy the 360 version. When copy arrives, do not open it, return it to a physical Walmart location: "my mom bought this for me as a gift, but got me the wrong version, I'm sorry I don't have a receipt, but I just want to exchange it for the PS3 version." Acquire PS3 version for $15.

The Bandai Pippin makes me so happy. One day that gap in my "obscure console" collection will be filled.

Thanks for reminding me that that game exists. It's like $10 on Amazon right now. Do want.

I totally believe you . . . and yet the mind boggles at how that's even possible.

The sprite work is really lovely on the Commando game. I'm very much getting a Metal Slug vibe off of it. I don't recall it being too well received when it originally came out though. Did anyone play the old retail release?

As someone who spends alot of his time wishing that he had gone to school for carpentry and woodworking, I have to say, that gorgeous wooden interior is making me drool. Super tasteful home. The outside isn't too ostentatious either. Well met Pincus.
