I look at the use of Sean Whitehead (or whatever his name is) to develop Sonic Mania as a step in a direction Sonic Team has needed to take for years...they might finally be beginning to understand that they no longer understand what made Sonic great...hell, they didn’t care enough to perform enough testing with fans…

Jason, you are an awesome blogger/reposter. This game looks fun, and you definitely brought attention to the trailer announcement.

Who the fuck actually watches these pre-pubescent “e-athletes”?

Good work on your blogging, Nathan! This reposted trailer is for one of my favorite games!

Ha! I laugh everytime I think of how Gawker effed itself as bad as they did. The only downside to their demise was the inrush of shitty bloggers into the sister sites. Used to be there were only one or two shitty bloggers per site...that is now not the case.

lol...missing Gawker.

They’re not reporters. They’re reposters.

Counting down the months until chapter 11 occurs. If that isn’t a wake up call for corporates shoddy management, then they deserve to go into chapter 9. The current trend towards digital tells me they don’t have much longer...this is a repeat of Blockbuster...but it’s happening to a shittier corporate architecture.

Congratulations, Nate. You finally found a game-relevant topic that allows you to continue gushing about MMA. Huzzah!

I am seriously counting down the days until Gamestop declares chapter 7.

Still disagree. I maintain I am principled in that I will start giving my money to Nintendo for ROM files when they become reasonable in how they manage distribution. You know, when they catch up to what other industry leaders have done for years.

As a parent, I put my expensive shit where they can’t get to it.

Too late. I played SMB3 all weekend on my laptop. Try to stop me...MUAHAHAHAHA!

Said company has taken my money more times for the same product than anyone should ever be able to, so yep. Once they change to a model that shows they care about the hand that feeds them, I’ll resume feeding them. In the meantime, I have no qualms purchasing their newer titles at full price...you know, ones that have…

It really wouldn’t...and would be a dumb decision on Nintendo’s part. If they go in the $10.00 range for titles they own all rights to, they are going to make a lot more money than if they would with the smaller subscription numbers they are going to get in the $20.00 range. The overhead for them is negligible, given…

Wait...XBONE or the Beast-That-Cannot-Be-Destroyed Xbox (circa 2001)?

Until Nintendo gets their shit right, I have no qualms no longer buying VC titles but using my ROMs. I’ve given them enough money for their crappy setup. Fix it first, then I’ll Fry my money over to them.

Really not, dingus. Do you have no understanding of market perception? Do you understand that Netflix is able to give us a disgusting plethora of movies and shows (many of which have external licensing deals that consume potential profit) for $8 dollars a month. Nintendo has the rights to the majority of the titles…

I did not...and...wow...I really hope that’s not true. If it is, it sort of puts to shame an old claim I recall where they said only a few titles came out a month on the Wii because they had to ensure it worked perfectly on their emulation software.

I would totally buy into a paid service...and I have to say your thought on a rotating library would be interesting...maybe as long as a local or cloud save file ensures your ability to continue down the road?
