You could play as Knuckles if you attached Sonic 2 to the Sonic & Knuckles lock-on cartridge back in the day. It was fun, but because Knuckles' jump is lower than Sonic's it was damn near impossible to beat the final boss. I wonder if that was adjusted in this new version...

Apparently this was developed by Sonic fan Christian Whitehead, the same guy who created the engine for the mobile version of Sonic CD. What we've learned here is that this Whitehead guy should be hired as the new leader of Sonic Team and start cleaning house in there, 'cause he obviously knows Sonic better than the…

I hope this comes to America because I'll probably never have the $$ to make it over to the real thing. Miyamoto & Iwata are lucky as hell for their unobstructed view of the Mona Lisa, although in reality it's apparently a really tiny, boring painting.

Oh man, here we Gaugin.

Yep. Nobody cares about art. Not a one. Especially those people who help design all those video game characters you love.

It's Asteroids. With more flashing lights. THE FUTURE!

A quick Wikipedia search would do you well: "For the soundtrack to Streets of Rage 3, Koshiro created a new composition method called the "Automated Composing System" to produce "fast-beat techno like jungle."^[1] It was the most advanced techno technique of the time, incorporating heavily randomized sequences.^[2] This…

I'm still convinced that Koshiro invented dubstep with this soundtrack and the (admittedly more abstract and not-as-beloved) SOR 3 soundtrack.

I'm actually with you on this one. The photo seems consistent with a photographer using 'fill flash' from his camera to illuminate subjects in shadow, but preserving the background exposure. You can see this most clearly with the person who is second from the left, where the shadow of is face is being cast on the…

I'm sorry you have so little imagination.

Or standing in waist-deep water.

Well, it looks like the EA/Nintendo feud is still alive and well. As for the 'price they can defend to other people' comment, can this guy really defend the fact that I paid $59.99 for the latest iteration of EA's NHL series despite the fact that the differences between it and its predecessor are basically cosmetic?

I don't see this as glass half full or empty, I just see it as Ninty playing damage control as the PS4 and XBone roll out. They know that a) Wii Sports was what brought in a brand new market of 'gamers' and that b) the industry is quickly going 'download only.' They're just preparing for their future, in a scrambly,…

A marketing strategy stolen directly from weight loss pill infomercials. 'First bottle free!' It could work...

I did the same with Little Inferno and now I'm working on Earthbound. I know it's a more abstract concept than the Wii's 'waggle waggle' controllers, but I still think Nintendo could do a HELL of a lot better at marketing how great it is to play games off-TV like this.

The new Link is ready for Saturday morning cartoons...if Saturday morning cartoons still existed.

I was afraid of that. Thx for the info, and enjoy the games :\

I sincerely don't get it. The majority of this is infinitely more interesting than anything they showed here in the American ND. Is it because these games aren't coming here, or do they just think that we're not interested? Ninty, I'm losing my faith.

I love pandering!

When I was a stupid high schooler I loved my Sega Saturn. But to be fair, there weren't many games for it and most of them looked terrible. Panzer Dragoon and Sega Rally Championship are the only ones I really look back on fondly. Maybe Guardian Heroes too.
