@MattyMattMatt: They're doing exactly what everyone said when they announced WiiMotion+.

@William Henry Harrison: That dude looks like Panther from the Protomen.

@TheMutator: If you don't like Kotaku, read a different site. Or at least get rid of you commenting account. Please.

If any Japanese bands are going to end up on there, my vote would have been for Nobodyknows+. Rock Band needs more hip hop.

I'm still holding out for a phone modeled after a pokédex.

@Rukishou: Hell yeah. The Mario Kart series has some serious staying power.

Gritty Mario reboot confirmed?

I like to name my things, to when I got my most recent car I decided I'd name it after Samus' ship. After combing through the data logs in the Metroid Prime series, I could find no identifying information on it other than "hunter-class gunship registered to Samus Aran". So my car became The Gunship.

@Zansam: I hearted you for that. Congratulations, you've earned that badge.

@GohanEgret: It's for exactly that reason that I'm baffled by the lack of any significant marketing push behind the Metroid titles. Everyone who's played a Metroid knows what great games they are. And yet, Nintendo does very little to make sure people are aware of each new title.

@dajungki: Everyone seems to love Koopa Troopa. Personally, I never used him often.

@Mezodon: Yeah, but there are some dogs that only evolve when traded.

@GohanEgret: Honestly, I bought Link's Crossbow Training just for the Wii Zapper. Which turned out to be not that exciting.

@Colage: That's not true. Wii Play is lots of fun the first time you play it. It's just not fun after that.

@the7k: That game was okay single player, but it was really a blast if you got enough players together.

@wakizashi333: I don't know. The DSi can upload photos directly to Facebook, so it doesn't seem that far-fetched.

This is pretty dead-on. Fortunately, though, the Mario series and most Nintendo series' in general seem to have avoided becoming bogged down in mandatory hand-holding and metagaming.

Oh, man. If only I had a spider-sense to help me detect the damn shoplifters at my record store.

I think VincentGrey won this week. Vincent, you earned a dollar. From me. Congratulations. You may pick it up at your convenience.

@The_Lone_Rangers: You forgot Rush. I don't think there's any band out there that deserves an entire music game more than Canada's prog legends.
