That’s a relief. Let’s hope that they give funimation the dubbing rights again. I love Sonny Strait’s voice for Lupin. (If you don't know who that is, that's Krillin from DBZ.)

This is stylish as fuck. I mean, the holy anime gospel that no one dare invoke by comparison, Cowboy Bebop, came immediately to mind. I’m so on board for this.

They have mine so far...

The problem is that it’s not the consumer’s concern whether the companies bottom line looks good. The company has to make the product seem a good deal at the pice they need, but those overpriced memory cards did nothing but make people think Sony was trying to rip them off.

I mentioned that in my post about the memory cards. I canceled my pre-order when I saw the memory card pricing. The system was already $250 and $299 for the 3G model but tacking on memory shot the cost almost higher than the PS3 at the time.

I can’t like this article hard enough. This is exactly everything I said when I said how disappointed I was when Sony were disowning the vita. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Well. Said. I’ll never get why Sony didn’t push it harder here in the West after the PSP took a respectable chunk of the mobile market. I may actually fire mine up with Megaman Legends coming out tomorrow.

Between this and the actually released N64/PS game it’s pretty clear that South Park does not translate well into 3d at all and Stick of Truth was on fucking point.

Glad they shelved this one. Stick of Truth was awesome though and can’t wait for a sequel.

To be fair, this isn’t even a Kotaku article. That other site that all of these blurbs link to is paying to publish this article here every Saturday and choosing what’s in it.

Mobile will *always* be limited, not by how much you can squeeze out of the significantly weaker ARM based CPUs (or even low power x86 CPUs), but by heat and battery. You have much less space to dissipate heat on a mobile device than on a console or PC, and no fans at all.

It’s always a smart move to do the opposite of anything Pachter says.

Odd, it still seems like there is a strong line between gamer and non-gamer. Just because someone uses their phone to waste time, or played on a Wii once or twice, doesn’t make them a gamer. Just like when I play sports from time to time, that doesn’t make me an athlete.

Thanks for the info. I really hope they don’t go beyond $300. As neat as the Oculus Rift is, it’s not a self-contained game system. It’s a peripheral which relies on a separate purchase of a pretty powerful PC in order for it to optimally function. Imagine MS charging, say, $400 for Kinect by itself. That wouldn’t fly.

What is a console? A miserable little pile of circuits.

Just as the line between gamer and non-gamer has been destroyed,
