Woah. I need to retake math.

I'm a bit offended by the phrase "candy coated shit", since I'm sure plenty of readers are at least vaguely interested in Wii Music. If you don't like a game, don't play it, but stop whining about E3 please.

@Krondonian: He's so much better to listen to talking than ANY of the NOA people. It's nice hearing from someone who has a clue what games are being worked on within their company and isn't just spouting repeated PR bull.

I think Miyamoto is just saying the exact same thing over and over to everyone he interviews in the hopes that we'll eventually listen and stop complaining about E3.

plunger or nothing.

I haven't seen Vader move so fast since he did a flip into lava.

Say what you will about the Orange Box's front, but the side is a stroke of genuis. When that game is placed in a shelf full of black and white game cases it sticks out like a sore thumb (sorry Lost 4 Dead), calling out to the shopper to pick up and buy it.

Haven't keyboards always been white? Or at least kinda light gray? But I guess black is in style now.

This game would probably sell twice as well if it was delayed to wait for Wii Motion Plus.

@slikz21: Can't you guys stop trying to make this into some sort of Nintendo nickel and diming conspiracy? Think of it as the Wii 2.0 or at least the Wiimote 2.0. They released the wiimote 2 years ago and since then they've realized that they can greatly improve the functionality of it. It's a simple hardware…

@Abno: An excellently done, if frightening parody.

He's always said he enjoyed first person games. And as I understand it he was partially responsible for changing Metroid Prime 1 from a 3rd person to a first person shooter (or adventure) game. I don't think he's big on unnecessary gore and violence though. He won't make an FPS himself like Killzone or Halo…

@scumm_boy: now announcing, Rock Band: Kotaku edition

@JokesJokes: I think it's more along the lines of getting the deal they want. Such as rights to their own IP, the ability to make the games they want, etc.

I don't like trumpets. There's no way to win. No boss fights. I can't lose by playing the wrong notes. With no built-in objectives there's no way it could hold my attention for longer than 10 minutes. This is surely a useless device.

@nerdBOY01: Exactly.

@Arsenicberyllium: Kirby's only hardcore in North America.

Mrs. Dunaway reminds me of a Kindergarten teacher. When a kindergarten teacher tried to sub for a high-school class it was always somewhat amusing.

I never owned a PS2 or PS1 so I'm a bit bummed on this BC axing. I'm sure there are plenty of people who feel the same way. A good chunk of the justification for the $400 price tag would be the ability to play all of those games I missed. It just seems stupid to remove the feature after they already had it…

@InsidiousTuna: Okay, if it's family then it's all fine. And it looks like Luke is also taking 1up for a ride. He's got enough connections in the gaming press that he's one of the few that could pull this off.
