Seriously?! With all the trade events you guys go to, you should all be oozing pink puzzle pieces out the wazoo!

This is the one the longest, but also most fascinating, long reads I've seen here. It made me want to read all the way through from start to finish. It also made me realize how Nintendo's Streetpass is a far cry from Zynga's FarmVille strategy.

It's far more messed up than that.

His is the Hydro Pump that will pierce the Heavens!

Words fail me. Or at least so much so that they need some sort of reference image to properly emphasize them.

This would actually be a really neat idea. Just imagine a game officially endorsed by the Red Cross! The developers could have a representative from the Red Cross oversee the game to ensure that it accurately represents the Geneva Convention and Rules of Engagement.

Hmm... let's see...

I think what he meant was that this won't be a thing in "core" Sonic games. I wouldn't necessarily call Sonic Dash a "core" Sonic game.

You have no idea...

I'm kind of disappointed that it wasn't a G'N'G remix. Then again, maybe it is, but instead of the original Capcom one we know and love, it's based off Tim Follin's original creation for the Commodore 64 Port of Ghosts 'N Goblins.

Not necessarily. I think what's great is that moment between "Another drive-thru customer. Yawn." to either "...what the..." or "AAAUUUGGGHHH!"

Which is exactly what Jason here is afraid of and why this makes for the worst DLC ever. If this is what the future of classic platform style games will be like, then it is a bleak future indeed. Granted, we could be wrong and that this is just a free cheat unlock that comes with a pre-order. But if it's not, then it…

Or maybe a release on the 3DS Virtual Console?! I mean it has built in 3D already! It seems like such an obvious port. Sure there were only like 14 games released for the VB, but most of them were first party Nintendo and Wario Land was arguably the best of the bunch.

What gets me is that the 25 lives thing sounds like a cheat code when I first saw it.

Wait a second...

Looks like it will use a similar background/foreground mechanic like first seen in Virtual Boy Wario Land!

That's right! In fact, one of the first games to use that mechanic would be this one here:

I have a feeling the reason for the delay isn't so much because the game has been held up in production, but more like a way to ease the pain for the wallets of Nintendo players.

It almost kind of sounds like the return of this guy here.

I'm an Avenger!
