I'm being serious when I say that nobody should have to go through what you just did.

I look at the 3DS XL and, speaking only for myself, I still don't find more than maybe four exclusive games compelling enough to buy. I feel Nintendo has to do more with the 3DS than make it to be yet another Mario/Zelda-playing GameBox, and I'm just not seeing that with the current line-up.

And for that the Vita fulfilled a need for me; letting me play my PSP games with comfortable controls like real analog sticks and buttons that were click-y and responsive instead of mushy.

Wait, a new 3DS comes out and it still lacks a second integrated circle pad? That's just dumb.

The 3DS is plenty strong, and yet it -still- can't play 16-bit VC games???

I had almost forgotten the pain. GEE, THANKS.

Even before easy, normal, and hard modes came to RPGs, you could still customize your challenge by staying up to date with your equipment as usual or intentionally sticking with your outdated gear. This is especially useful if the RPG you are playing is unavoidably easy.

No love for Final Fantasy IX?

Hamauzu's music in Final Fantasy XIII and Unlimited Saga were just about the only things keeping me playing those really poorly designed games, his stuff is typically -that good-.

Well, I ate fast food less often in addition to just avoiding McDonalds entirely. I also avoid Chik-fil-a, but that's more for their donations to anti-gay groups like the National Organization for Marriage than anything else.

I am just in love with that last one.

I hope to see this on Android devices sometime soon.

I remember when I payed $60 for L.A. Noire AND bought that Rockstar Pass for all the DLC.

I stopped eating McDonalds when I finally sat down and watched Super Size Me. That was at least five years ago.

DAT FACE

I can understand them wanting to play to their strengths, but if game companies in Japan have to make stuff like Gal Gun and anything titled "I Can't Believe My Sister is this Cute!" to even stay out of the red, then maybe they don't have anything truly worthwhile to contribute to the medium anymore.

Had one too many "ew gay"-type jokes for my taste.

It's kinda the same diff to me. Like, especially if you have anthropomorphic characters in more serious stuff or looking more realized, it bugs me on some level for some reason.

The furries in it give me pause.

Kind of a dud this year.
