Much sexier.

@lewismortonysb: I'm someone who has a hard time playing first-person shooters because I suffer from motion sickness, and so far the 3DS has yet to give me trouble. As long as you can relax your eyes, it's fine.

@JimThePea: "LOOK! A 60mph sign means you can drive up to 60mph!"

But what about the 3DS?

@grysl: Also, God of War isn't balls-to-the-walls drive-you-bonkers hard, and offers copious save points rather than a set of lives you have to buy for more and more money if you want ANY kind of checkpoints within a level.

@Elratauru: It's like a Gamecube and four GBAs and a Wii taped together!

@Buckaroo Banzai: Then you, sir, never tried it with the nunchuck. MKWii is best played when steering with the thumbstick on the nunchuck, and doing tricks and wheelies with the Wiimote.

Reviews, word of mouth, cheapness, and the New Toy factor.

In the olden days, all European TV sets ran in 50hz with more vertical resolution than US or Japanese TV sets. These were known as PAL TVs, while US and Japanese sets were NTSC. NTSC sets run in 60hz.

Dangit, and I still have yet to have even ONE Streetpass. I've even dropped by a bunch of electronic stores with sleeping 3DSes behind the counters.

And for the love of everything good, optimize the damn Virtual Console games this time for us European users!

@wild homes loves you but chooses darkness!: I think we're reaching a point where the console cycle lasts quite a bit longer. The more powerful a console gets, the more money can go into producing a game that takes advantage of everything it has to offer. Sony had kind of a point when they said the PS3 was going for…

@Makidian: Consoles are built to last. They want this thing to be viable 3, 4, 5 years after release. So it makes sense to make it more powerful.

@TreFacTor: SSF4 isn't all that combo-riffic. It does have an unfortunate reliance on 1-frame links for a lot of the combos needed for high-level play. But for poking around, you can get away without'em.

@黒人: I don't need a reason. I just like to flowchart.

@黒人: One thing I'm noticing here is that the gameplay seems... weightier than the SF4 or Marvel VS Capcom series. There's some real heft to the attacks, and I like that.

@Pablo042: Final Fantasy 4 was released in the States as Final Fantasy 2 because, well, in the States it WAS the second FF game to be released. And so 6 became 3, because FF5 was also never released. I do seem to remember there being rumors of FF5 being slated for release as "Final Fantasy Extreme" or something…

Okay, so here's a question for those of you who've downloaded FF5 for the PS1 via the PSN store: How does it play compared to the original or the GBA version?

@d4rk-h4x0rer: Hrmmm. I really should get around to that New Game + before the servers close. After I finish FF13.
