Frankly, if running at 30fps means that the game will run at that rate consistently, I don't see a problem. What is truly upsetting is when a game slows down, right when things get intense.

Find a way to use 3DS units to double as Wii U controllers, Nintendo! Obviously not as cool in some ways, but would ameliorate this cost issue (your handheld isn't cheap, but it has other uses and this would add value) and you could resume printing money... Sony will almost certainly do this with the Vita if 3rd…

That's what I'm hoping for... I've never seen the Redux or the Hearts of Darkness documentary which is supposed to be epic.

I just popped over to TAY to mention that, but you beat me to the punch. Deal starts at 12am Kotaku time... But I'm really tempted by the Apocalypse Now Blu-ray deal at 3.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced Nintendo has made a huge mistake by not making their new handheld and the Wii U controller one and the same. When the Wii was a huge success, Microsoft and Sony spent tons of money playing catch-up, to questionable results. But Sony should be able to mirror the Wii U…

At least we'll likely see an appearance by Professor E. Gadd... but you're probably right.

This new controller is amazing, but rather than 3D, I wish the new controller and the new handheld console were the same thing, then they would likely guarantee the money printing capabilities of both systems, and plenty of people would have more than one... The huge screen is nice, but I would settle for a Super DSi…

"No, Luke. I am your father." Emphasis is on the word 'I', not 'am'. Jeez.

I am absolutely thrilled that one of Nintendo's most underrated, perfectly polished gems is finally getting a sequel. That said, if there's not ever a game where I can use a Wiimote as my flashlight/vacuum cleaner, it will represent a huge missed opportunity. Still cannot wait for LM3DS!

What really kept me from disappearing into the game completely was the ineffective map overlay. Either the HUD map needed to be more helpful, or the street signs needed to be readable from a distance while driving. I looooove L.A. Noire, but for atmosphere's sake, I didn't really want to skip the driving sequences.…

The one thing I've always wanted to ask you... how did the holes in your hands affect your masturbatory technique?

Yup.

I'm holding out for the Jesus Christ mousepad with gynomastic wrist-rest.

This is really going to make Jesus angry...

And also this...

I hope those games are still playable after spending six months in a leaky boat...

I actually like the 3DS' looks. What I cannot stand is the placement of the stylus. I thought we went through this already, Nintendo! It goes on the side. On. The. Side.

Agreed. I think he's trying to get a feeling for the demand for the movie, as well as how strongly the fans feel about an R rating. A call for wisdom and clarity doesn't feel compatible with a call to flood the studio with emails demanding upfront cash for Vin.

I am a fan of Portal, and my kids enjoy it, too. But I'm not a fan of some of the moments where you're falling rapidly through space, having to reorient yourself and manage to shoot a portal. I can appreciate the fun of figuring out what you need to do, but moments like that make me queasy. There are also times when…

This really sounds like what would have resulted if Michel Foucault had turned his gaze to bedwetting.
