Yeah I understand what you mean. But I do not believe that it was as a result of the ps3/xbox lacking power that resulted in the game being bug ridden. There was nothing in the game that was too much for the ps3/Xbox to handle; rather it was most likely bad programming/optimising and bug testing that resulted in the…

Super mario sunshine on WiiU. I don't think the world was ready for it when it was released. It was a departure from what gamers were accustomed to. With updated graphics and some tweaked gameplay elements, it could turn out to be the gem Nintendo hoped for.

I really dont understand why anyone would want South park remade for the ps4/xone. I mean, what's it gonna bring to the table that couldn't have been done on the ps3/xbox? It's not as if the game was so technically demanding and that gave rise to the bugs etc. The game was just poorly tested and quality control…

Wow! That's some serious ish. Whays even more amazing is that it was the FCC who noticed these little mis-info's. I've supported Sony for a long time and I really like my Vita but this isn't the first time Sony has "mis-informed" on their products. Starting from the ps2 cut scenes they touted as in-game graphics and…

Wow! I don't remember a console game giving so so much for a 6quid dlc. It just goes to show that regardless of what you do, there's always gonna be someone, somewhere , who just won't think it's enough. Wow....just....wow!

For the first time ever, I actually contemplated getting a regular sized 3DS over the XL. Why? The faceplates. There's just something cool about being able to change what my 3DS looks like whenever I feel like. In the end, I decided to wait for a UK release and the inevitable Limited edition XL (either monster hunter…

Good news for Nintendo. It's taken some time but maybe things are beginning to look better financially. If they can really turn the fortunes of the WiiU around, it'll be a massive feat considering that they would have done so pretty much on their own with little to no help from 3rd parties. Imagine Sony or Microsoft…

Yeah, your fear (which is the same as many other people out there) is valid and understandable. Only time will tell which way Nintendo will go with the introduction of the New 3DS. Even though I'm gonna buy it day one, I hope that for the sake of their reputation, they don't abandon the people who have the right to…

I think that the only viable explanation in the absence of any kind of proof is that MS are desperate to get Xone into peoples homes and increase their market share quickly. Save for Nintendo, Sony and MS don't expect to make profit on their hardware for a few years (they usually make a loss) and if I remember…

Err, a price drop in no way indicates overpricing unless you have actual proof of this. What it does indicate, is the seriousness of the situation and competition, that MS have to adopt drastic measures to alleviate the pressure and improve sales quickly.

OK, again, while I understand your position, I don't totally agree with it. But like we all know, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that.

What I said about retail staff is from my experience working within the gaming retail environment and retail in a broader sense. In retail, whether it's games or groceries, there's always staff who know next to nothing about the product they are selling. Then there are staff who are passionate about the stuff they…

Yeah buddy, I've worked with people that you just wonder what the hell they are doing in this kind of job! Completely clueless!! I was lucky though cos my last 2yrs working at GAME, we had ourselves a small but very competent team of gamers. We were the smallest store around town but people would come from all over to…

Ok, I get what you mean. I actually laughed out when I read "and where I come from (midwest U.S.), a regular consumer is a complete idiot." :D

I've read/heard a lot of people say that the New 3DS feels like what the 3DS should have been from the beginning (I have my theories about this and if anyone wants to know what I think, say so and I'll oblige). While I can't argue as to the veracity of these statements, I can say that this proves one thing more than…

I totally disagree with everything you've said. I could go into a lot of detail about the New 3DS vs the Old 3DS and what it would have meantmeant/means for Nintendo business wise but I'll just respond to some of the things you said directly.

I have worked retail (GAME Stores UK) for many years and the confusion/nightmare comes when the people who are supposed to know about the system(people who work in retail) don't understand what they're supposed to be selling. How difficult is it to differentiate between the Old and New 3DS(I bet it's easier than the…

Thank you. My thoughts exactly:)

Whoooo! Angry much?! I seriously doubt that you've "held a friend of mine's..."

About the power button, I've been thinking about it and it could possibly be that way cos if you close the 3DS and hold it/put it in your pocket, there's a chance that your thumb will rest somewhere around the power button area and you could accidentally turn it off. Of course I really don't know if this is an…
