Yes! Puyo Puyo Tetris would be nice.

We need more Puyo puyo!

I have the same dilemma—the small N3DS with Skittles buttons and changeable faceplates, or the XL with bigger screen and glossy outside surface? The faceplates look so tempting and have the potential for true awesomeness—just take a look at those suede-covered faceplates for the Kyogre & Groudon Limited Editions.

Those SNES coloured buttons mean more to me than I care to admit. So many SNES memories. Bigger screen versus better looking device and swappable plates. I'm completely torn.

If they released it on the other consoles they'd have to have cut MS and Sony in on their sales, which eats into their own revenue on the game. Sony and MS would most likely have wanted the bigger slice of the pie for the sales on their own platforms. Why would they want a small slice and give the majority to a rival?…

Nintendo paid for this game to be made when nobody else would. The game would never exist if Nintendo didn't pay for it because Sega wouldn't. It's not Platinum Games fault. They made the game they wanted to and Nintendo paid for them to do it because Sega didn't think the property was worth it.

That's what stunts me about these comments. It's not like Platinum asked Nintendo to exclusify it on WiiU, Nintendo more or less bought this game because no other company thought it worthwhile. And Nintendo has never been one to rent their own shit to other platforms.

There are commenters online in Japan saying the game "bombed." A few are spamming Bayonetta's creator Hideki Kamiya, telling him "congrats." That isn't cool. At all.

Considering the amount of WiiUs now when compared to the amount of PS3s and 360s in 2009, it isn't a big surprise.

I think it's the case on a global scale, really.

I acknowledge all of this, but utterly despise the idea that all science fiction must be hard science fiction, and strive for utmost realism in all things. There's as much room out there for Star Wars, Mass Effect, Star Trek and so on as there is for Planetes and Revelation Space.

Regardless of intent, it did initially give me the wrong impression, especially with that image with the huge date. I got excited just long enough to be greatly disappointed.

If Final Fantasy Magical Dress-Up Pop Star Simulator is the female equivalent, then I can't wait for the stereotypically male ridiculousness they end up integrating into this one. They've already nailed "doing donuts in a cool car around a gigantic monster", so bring on the lazer swords and megazords already.

How dare they tell the story they want to tell! They better shoehorn some women in to pander to idiots who think equality means an equal number of men and women in all games, or so help me I might just buy their game!

If a female character is forced in just to meet a quota or some angry backlash then they are going to…

Okay, so I've seen some of this stuff floating around, too...

This isn't a problem.

If the designer/director believe that a female party character won't add anything to his game, then he should not feel guilty about doing that. Nobody needs to feel that they should follow a certain social ethics so that they are forced to add a token character in the game just to please entitled gamers.
