< We already got it. :P And I want it even more now. If they had mentioned it previously and I missed it, I about died when I saw they added Flynn Scifo from Tales of Vesperia. :3

I'd say part of the reason Sony bought Gaikai is because of these third-party deals. It gets them out there in more ways, and gets them on more devices to start. So long as Sony doesn't break the terms of the contracts Gaikai originally made, then it would seem to me that all sides can only benefit.

The only downside to those is the total lack of hoverboards, flying cars, and Mr. Fusions right now. :(

Ah, okay. It's not always clear what they mean with these things, because sometimes the "Europe" office covers all regions of Europe, including the UK. Sort of like how the "North American" office often covers the US, Canada, and Mexico. I don't think there's a Nintendo of Mexico or Nintendo of Canada. (But if there…

A line in particular that gets one's attention in regards to this: "IGN reported that QA for North America has been completely shut down,…

Thankfully I don't think that's gonna happen again. That's what happens when you use a for-hire budget localization team. Namco Bandai doesn't use those. (But Nintendo did when they brought the GBA Phantasia over on behalf of Namco Bandai... and by the way, that's part of why Namco Bandai won't let anyone else touch…

I guess they can't be 100% blamed that the HD remake of the VII opening was as glorious as it was, though. :P I mean, yes, they made it... but...

IMO, it's Square-Enix's own fault people demand a FFVII remake. Now, of course there were people ASKING for it before 2006. But... E3 2006, they showed a tech demo with an HD remake of the opening of FFVII. They showed that, it may have just been a tech demo, but to the fans that were excited about it, NOT doing the…

No, that was the first episode, Pikachu hated Ash, and Ash said "You can talk, right? Just open your mouth and tell me what's wrong!" so Pikachu opened it's mouth, and they used a magnified bubble for it's mouth for whatever reason.

I agree about the blur filters. I also think it's possible they ran the PS3 version on an HDTV, and the PS2 version on whatever SDTV they had lying around (which probably was a crap one, because my old Sony Trinitron looked absolutely fantastic... shame it died, it had a "power regulation fault error"... it would turn…

I've been playing since late 1999, and I've only ever cared about "catching 'em all" and exploring the worlds of the games. I might raise a team of Pokemon I feel like raising to battle for fun, but I don't like how with all of the IV/EV and tier crap out there, that if you're not playing it that way and you're over…

Lawl. If you're calling me whiny, you also have to keep in mind the tips offered here are actually utterly worthless without stuff like breeding for IVs and EV training. Not to mention pretty much everything he said can be gotten out of a guidebook. I don't care if others like it, but considering most of the people I…

Star Fox 64 3D, Super Mario 64 DS, and Ocarina of Time 3D would like a word with you.

You know who is the greatest Pokemon player? Me. Because I play my way and don't give a shit about how others are playing. Meaning: I hate when people focus entirely on the metagame and ignore the rest of what's there, and think winning is the most important thing.

Oh, so that's why my AlienFX switched to Blue when I started the game up. :P

Don't get me wrong here, but when I saw that Okami trailer originally a day or two ago, I find the PS2 video suspiciously lower quality than it should be. I don't know if they did something by intention, but it did not look that low quality when I had it running recently.

I loved Okami, but I really don't love Capcom. It'd be nice if Capcom (re)announced something else so I can stop not loving them and feel more inclined to buy their stuff.

Sometimes. I haven't seen one recently. >.>

Microsoft chose not to take them down. It's really easy to kick someone off a server, and they could have very easily done so. They didn't because I think they too were reluctant to do so. I mean, a game like Halo 2 that had been an important part of the XBox for nearly 8 years, and then they have to pull the plug? I…

The funny thing is, everyone acted like the Wii had nothing good on it, when in reality, it has just as many good games as the other two platforms. The problem really is, there was a higher percentage of crap. Everyone jumped on the Wii boat, and made wonderful titles like Uncle Crap's Garden Minigame Extravaganza (I…
