@312_Mitsu: I read Ketchup as well. I thought he put ketchup on himself to represent blood. Which would have been awesome.

@Gambit09: Sad thing about that is that by now, most cartridges (for almost any system) have long since lost their save data. Those batteries only last so long.

Personally, I'd love this. I play a ton of games on my PS3, and I've always been paranoid about losing my data should something happen to my machine.

Is the prototype DS tiny, or does Iwata have huge hands?

@Dex-Starr: You mean the Yeti Snowboarding from Twilight Princess wasn't enough for you?

Holy crap. The boots in no. 5! Any girl wearing boots like that is not to be fucked with.

I like these occasional non-game related articles. It's like I'm being tricked into learning, but end up liking it!

@Kovitlac: You're both wrong. It was a glitch in the Grid. Blame CLU.

@Who wants toast?: People love cameos. They're fun!

@Nick Edge: Seriously. I love her look from the first Prime. When I got the good ending in Echoes and saw her face, I was immediately displeased.

Dang it. I was prepared to buy this game just for that cameo.

The people complaining about the quality of Photoshop work are missing the point.

@oosiegewolfoo: I'm kinda hoping the Miis are there as a placeholder. I don't mind Mii support at all, but I'd also love to see all the classic guys.

For all the hate FFX-2 got from people who didn't like the girly themes, it was actually a damn good RPG. The class system was implemented well, the story was fun, and the gameplay was well-paced and damn addictive.

@villainousbee: I think the appeal here is for people who prefer Melee's gameplay but don't want to miss out on the awesome character roster from Brawl.

@Ayane: Obesity hell may not sound so pleasant, but the road that leads there sure as hell is.

@JGab: I thought this was funny! Folks like us spend so much time absorbed in these fictions that it can be surprising to actually consider just how heavily they rely on completely absurd concepts.

I really wish they would get it together and have an online system with at least the basic functions of PSN and XBL. In particular, the ability to choose a username and have substantial interactions with other players without transcribing a new, arbitrary code from each friend every time a new game comes out.

@orcein: Probably not, unfortunately. If they did that, then everybody in North America would import the games that hit Japan first, and vice-versa (at least in instances where there's little language barrier, such as a Mario title). Then the sales in the later-releasing region would suffer.

@thethingexe: As much as I agree that taking something without paying for it is no good, Mr. ZeeMox does bring up a good point.
