This is maddening! I have never been so hyped for a hardware release, I am dying for the European release of this. I am desperate to upgrade to an XL (mostly for smash) but can't do it with this waiting in the wings. Ninty have pulled a manoeuvre worthy of the Horns of Hattin, I am simultaneously the most compelled to…

Gotta recycle those assets...

Another good reason to get the new model for me then! I wonder if I will get more out of this 'new' 3DS than I did DSi functionality.

I thought the same about the colours. It's hard to tell though. I will have to await some proper analysis and more importantly side by side video.

Thanks for this! The dream is alive again.

Reservation for 3?

It's gotta be psychic force 2 for me. Something about the use of space and the sheer cool factor of some characters stops me dwelling on the obvious flaws.

This is such an ear worm. I have been listening to a mixed version almost every day.

Hi Jason, Its not random! It's 'e', Euler's number. Well to a certain number of decimal places.

That IP is also Euler's number. A very important constant in mathematics.

Thank you!

I know that there is a lot going on with this gif that is weird and possibly the whole thing is a joke, but I simply must know why the yellow and red markers read 8 and 3 respectively!

I have been meaning to re-watch this for ages. I don't even think it is that good, its just hypnotic how the various elements come together combined with the (intentionally?) wooden VA?

I think part of the reason that kind of condescending attitude is so prevalent is the concept of the 'Class S' relationship, which seems to promote the idea of homosexual romance (at least for women) as some kind of practice phases.

As I clarified in response to Silver, my issue was more to do with lighting/reflections than anything else. The game looks fantastic overall for sure.

Cool! I don't doubt the engine is very capable, and despite my initial brief gripe (I blame commenting at work) I am not a big graphical hangup person. Lots of factors go into something like this so I'm not surprised that at its best it could look amazing. I am very much looking forward to playing.

That's a good point (about the cross-gen). And I should probably say that the models in gameplay sections look fantastic. I think my issue is that they look a bit too plastic and shiny when viewed close up, which maybe isn't such a big issue (or could even improve visibility) when viewed from slightly further away,

Up close those character models look really horrid.

I think you mean cyclopes /classicspedantry
