I think when it's zooming around, making that "keee" sound, the baby metroid is kind of cute. As far as flying brains with teeth go, anyway.

If Japan made a movie set in the U.S. starring a classic Japanese character, and advertised it by alluding to that character interacting with a traditional American symbol, I don't expect that anyone who matters would be upset by it.

Oh, man. Earthbound! I went to Game Underground here in MA, looking for a copy of the game. They're a great store, so of course they had one. But it was already on hold, and for none other than Keith Apicary.

Whereabouts is your shop? I'm from New England and love to check out nearby independently-owned gaming stores. Once or twice a year I travel around the country for various reasons, and I'm always happy to stumble across any such stores along the way.

Which one? Haichu, or... whatever this candy is?

Haha, good point. But let's look at Smash Bros.; in a genre where Jigglypuff gets matched up against Solid Snake, is anything really off the table?

I need to see if the Asian grocery near me carries those candies. They look delicious, like Haichu or Hi-Chew or however it likes to be Romanized.

I think the difference here is that people don't generally watch underage tentacle porn in the living room, with the whole family.

I'm obviously aware that I'm watching a video, but I still winced the first few times the laser switched on, as if thinking I would damage my eyes.

Oh, man. That's a damn handsome collection he's got there. If I had 35K lying around, I'd buy it all and open a game shop.

By "something useful" do you mean "swear at strangers on the Internet"? Because that's not pathetic at all.

Just a minor correction... Jill and Shuma-Gorath were on the disc for MvC3, but not complete. There were a fair amount of assets missing, including sounds and menu graphics. So it wasn't "on-disc DLC" in the typical sense, since the download was substantially more than an unlock key.

They're bonus content; the PS3 version has 5 extra characters, two of which will likely be offered as DLC later on the Xbox 360.

If you played it for two days, that means you stopped playing around the 8th. 8th to 16th is more one week than two. If you don't care for the game, you're entitled to your opinion, but don't back your complaints with statements that are verifiably false.

Keep in mind, that's what Boxart Mega Man looked like twenty-something years ago. He's been out of work ever since then, and you expect him to still be in the same physical shape?

It hasn't even been out for two weeks yet.

I can't think of the last Capcom game that I didn't very thoroughly enjoy. Yes, their games have more paid DLC than the average game. If you like the game enough, you can drop a couple bucks here and there for extras. If you don't want to, you can still sit down and enjoy the very competent game you've got on the disc.

The point that Lazy Alchemist is making is that "Bad Box Art" Mega Man's appearance in SFxT isn't a malicious jab at Inafune or the MM series, which is an entirely valid statement to make in response to the OP's comments. He never implied that Inafune is "all-powerful."

That's a delightfully terrifying photo. That young lady's eyes tell of a lust for carnage.

You'd be surprised how infrequently that works as a pickup line. Trust me.
