Activision originally tried to partner with Nintendo on skylanders and they got turned down. So I think seeing the success that skylanders have had put Nintendo on their heels and they rushed out a response. Originally it was pokemon rumble U figures but those have been abandoned. Now they have Amiibo but as a Wii U I…

I feel like you are trolling? http://kotaku.com/the-xbox-360-h…

I actually love that the tracks weren’t designed for 200 cc ! Its a bonus mode and you feel really it... its crazy, and out of control. It forces you to be more technical and re-think how you take corners. Clearly it wasn’t designed for this, and I get the feeling that some devs played around with the speed, got the…

I can’t stress how much depth 200 cc adds! When you have to brake to get through a corner there are SOOOO many ways you can take it! Break hard and hit for the inside at the cost of your top speed... or tap the break to keep your top speed but take the turn wider. Plus there are jumps, and shortcuts, and gliding that…

I don’t really agree. My online rank is ~6500 so I’m a decent player and have played tons of matches. Yes there will be races where you are screwed at the last second, but I can consistently get 1st in the single player races even with blue shells and the other items. If you race it well, you are so far ahead that it…

There was a game update to download that speeds up enemy turns 2x on the 3DS and 3x-4x on the new 3DS. I tried it out for the demo and then bought the actual game. I think its super fun. I definitely feel that it came from the developers of Advance Wars (which is a truly brilliant game and series IMO). Except now you…

Hey! He’s not making info up on the fly! He said he’s not fly by night! He said the car has a single data cable... so its basically finished

My online rank is ~6500 so I get matched up with some highly ranked players. It is very rare that I find someone that can effectively fire hop for an entire race. I’ve seen it just a couple of times. In time trials I agree that fire hoping is the only way to get the fastest times, but that is with a clear track, no…

I was thinking that too! Or maybe if you customize your car for handling at the cost of top speed, you’ll be able to negotiate the corners tight enough that you don’t need to brake? I think that would be a cool dynamic. I’m excited for 200 cc

haha yes i have been there! But after having done some practice on time trials about how to optimize turns and technique I found going back to 150, if I race it perfectly, I’m so far ahead that I’m not really affected by the items. There were times when I got hit by a blue shell twice and still got first.

Others may consider this minor but I was strongly considering this game and that was the one big negative that I have seen in reviews. There is also a demo out that we can try now

I haven't gotten into the series because i'm worried it will be unfair. I don't mind difficulty. I beat GOW III on hard (not titan) and reading this it sounded familiar how I'd have to plan ahead, and practice, and memorize movements. And sometimes even repeat the level if the save left me with too little health…

Wow thank you. I am shocked and encouraged that there are other people that see it like that as well

In my opinion the phrase 'Jesus f***ing Christ' has just been used so much that we are kind of desensitized to it. I remember probably 10 years ago, people would say "gay" and "retarded" to refer to something that was dumb. Sometimes even "fag" especially if during Halo, Goldeneye, smash brothers, etc. Ten years…

I was really interested on your perception of tolerance and gays. I totally hear you that people used to say words like "fag" without thinking twice. But in some ways I think we have gotten less tolerant. I hear people say (and write (even on gawker)) things like "Jesus f***ing Christ" but you'll never hear…

" That is why Nintendo, just as I stated, announced a new console:" Where does it say that the new system is more powerful than the Wii U? You are making incorrect assumption about the Wii U, its successor, and the validity of your claims.

Its silly to stress about it. There are more good games for the Wii U than either PS4 or XB1... that is if you like gameplay. And the lineup of upcoming games is strong. I say if you like the game, get the system to play it. And if you are undecided what you want to play, statistically a PC and Wii U (or 3DS) will…

I watched that video thanks. But I don't totally buy his argument of development cost because the same could be said for Wii vs PS/360 or even Wii U vs PS4/XB1. The jump to HD was very expensive. In the PS/360 generation many devs said that you couldn't make a game for less than 8 figures! And true to that, there…

Great write up! It brought back a lot of fond memories of this game though I only played through the trilogy once. I wanted to mention that i felt this game influenced the feel of Titanfall with the double jump.

I don't understand, i said PS4 owners love specs and the Order 1886 is the closest you can get to "playing specs". The graphics are amazing, but the gameplay is shite... and I reckon that is true regardless of the black bars? You must agree?
