Yes, it's a joke. Though to be fair, depending on what drives he has, and what magnet he has, he can easily corrupt his data [though not wipe] with a magnet with ease.

Specifically with a magnet right?

I think J.Green and Smooth JA answered your question, but I thought I would give my input as well.

There is a reason this game did not sell when it initially came out. When it came out, the average player sees screenshots of the game, and graphically, their initial reaction is that it looks bland and terrible. With the…

How official is official when the president says it's being localized in an interview? I consider that a pretty official confirmation that it'll be released, short of a release date.

Level-5, the developer of the Professor Layton series, is publishing it. In an interview with their President last December, they announced they are localizing the game. It's just a matter of officially announcing a release date.

It was announced by Level-5 last December that they are in the process of localizing the game. It will be released, but no release date has been given. Perhaps we'll hear more at E3?

You must have missed this news. It was announced in December last year that Level-5 is localizing the game. I believe it's coming out sometime this year, but no date has been set.

It's probably nostalgia glasses, but yes, it's soulless nonetheless.

Animal Crossing a tired sequel? Last game that came out was 5 years ago. Only 3 have come out so far. They changed it up by making you the mayor, so it should be more fresh for fans. It may be a "tired" sequel for you, but it's not for a lot of fans.

As for Earthbound, it's an old game that has never been officially…

Aside from emulators and Roms, the only way people can play the game is through a SNES copy of the game, which goes from $100-200+ on eBay. So I understand the excitement to allow everyone to be able to play the game on a console at a reasonable price.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm hoping though that if they go this route, it's attacked by Brainiac, which sets up a sequel for a Superman villain we haven't seen on film.

I HATE Oblivion. Didn't care for Morrowind. But played over 100 hours on Skyrim! The mechanics got stale, but the environment and world-building felt more immersive than past entries. At least for me.

Actually, I want to expand my answer on this. Since HeroClix was bought by Neca, all sets with the 'HeroClix' brand is compatible gameplay-wise. The only game that is supposed to be separate is Star Trek Tactics. However, the gameplay mechanics is 100% compatible, so you can field Star Trek figures with regular…

It was mentioned, in a blip, on Kotaku before: http://kotaku.com/5953296/

Same here.

No, in terms of gameplay, Star Trek Tactics are technically compatible to regular HeroClix.

Yes it is.

This. Yes, just because you have the right to say anything you want doesn't mean you should.

Looks like we found the game with the greatest tutorial of all time. There'll be no better tutorial that can ever be made again. Game over man. Game over.

As said by others, it was originally a GameCube game. It was supposed to be released for the GameCube a year before it's released, but was delayed to add motion support for the Wii. So it was a port of the GameCube version. But headlined as the main game for the Wii in order to be a launch day title.
