I use the USB adapter for Wii U. Steam detects them automatically as generic gamepads and other than it having fewer buttons than your regular 360 controller, it’s really easy to configure.

I’ve noticed there are some PC games that come in a plastic box with no disc, and only a scrap of paper with a key on it.

People have been building wooden pc-cases for years in pretty much all shapes and sizes.

itd be pretty hard to fuck up an infinite run mobile game. still this feels really “me-too” after rayman jungle and fiesta run(imho the best of the lot) and all the others with the exact same gameplay mechanics.

So, how long until Nintendo wises up and has Shin’en develop an actual F-Zero title?

Getting only two or three hours of sleep a night for an extended period of time will lead to extreme irritability, insanity, and eventual death. So obviously that’s wrong or just grossly exaggerated. He can’t have maintained that for 18 years, he’d have been dead 17 1/2 years ago.

Fortunately I backed Parkitect, which looks EXACTLY like the Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 sequel I've wanted for 15+ years now.

Can we just go back to the 2D isometric style of RCT 1 and 2?

I used to work at a certain high profile electronics store. And for this particular story, please note: I'm completely changing the names.

I used to work for a small computer store.

I've worked plenty of Black Friday's. The most memorable have been at Walmart. That morning my designated work area had emptied out, due to selling out all of our stuff (this is back when Walmart had decided to split up item sales to prevent stampeding and put lines at different areas for high demand items, where…

It hurts their profit a lot actually... Bigger box is now needed, produce more chargers to the 50 million people that bought a 3DS already, and less units in a shipment box. I don't see why it is a big deal since it is complaining about 10$. As much as you want to say I'm missing the point you are still complaining…

I really don't want to pay $200 for a humongous "portable" device.

Same here. I'm really not a fan of extra junk cluttering the house, so unless there is a compelling gameplay reason to pick one up, I'm not interested.

This morning's Nintendo Direct was chock full of new Amiibo toys and Amiibo-enable games. Here's how the colorful pieces of plastic will work in Nintendo's upcoming titles, including the one you might have to delete existing Smash Bros. Amiibo data to play.

Is this the new version of "My uncle works at Nintendo."?

...none of the following? Nothing follows that statement.

A few years back I bought a sony experia play phone.it had a slide out controller..feckin perfect for platformers ( and emulation..it had the same button lay out as a psx pad) . It was abandonded by sony a year or so later..but if somone made a modern phone with a similar slide out pad id buy it in a heatbeat.

I'm excited to hear that this post was able to help - change is always difficult, but that is how we grow. Change is also scary, but fear can be a good sign in some cases. It indicates something new - while not everything new is good, I can tell you a like without fear is not very exciting or meaningful.

If someone empties that box onto the floor everyone is pretty much fucked.
