@ChivalRuss: There's honestly no sense in using a 32GB card. A 1GB card gives you more than 7000 blocks, and the SD channel only gives you 120 game slots. Until games start weighing in at 1900 blocks, you really don't need more than 4-8 GB.

@kenjara: 32GB, I believe.

Forget, for a moment, the fact that you can get a 2GB card for considerably cheaper.

@Brainiac_8: It makes sense logically, but there's something nice about getting the whole shebang pressed to one disk, and not having to burden my hard drive with a bunch of downloadable stuff.

@jayntampa: You're right, jay.

I'm going against the crowd on this one, since I'm fairly sure this is just a lot of "yay Harmonix, boo Activision" crap. The Kotaku boards are horribly predictable in any perceived David and Goliath situation.

@Ueziel: I thought the nub worked fine. My only beef was needing to use the triggers to dodge, since there is no second stick. I thought it broke up the battle flow just enough to be annoying, but not a game-breaker.

@Ueziel: It's not a dumb argument at all. We consider CC a "new release" because it's being sold in a box again. It's not to say it isn't a brilliant game, but it had its chance to shine against the competition when it was released. Re-scoring it in 2008 is an act of irrelevance.

Wow... that's just a craptastic list. Nintendo has just seemed completely comatose since their bafflingly unremarkable showing at E3.

Sigh. I remember when this was my favorite series. Then the second one came out, and it's been downhill since then.

So... these games are amazing, and he loves them. But other people shouldn't, because they're simply not as smart as the author, and shouldn't have the ability to appreciate the finer points of gaming. But since they did, they're overrated.

Time should stick to what it knows. This is like me releasing a list of the year's greatest poems.

@greyseal: glad to be of service

Let's say this Twinkie represents the average amount of win in a video game trailer. According to this morning's Kotaku post, it would be a Twinkie 35 feet long weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

Damn... this is gonna be bigger than the "wide-screen DS" from that Disgaea ad.

Nice. TWEWY has me all excited for a return to Shibuya anyways...

@teeps1981: No. I'm sorry. I don't know how any non-fanboy person with functional eyes could look at these avatars and think they don't look suspiciously like Miis. The resemblance is far beyond both "being people." Cartoon people have been depicted in countless different ways, and can be visually distinct.

I agree the avatars are a logical addition, but there's absolutely no reason for them to look so much like Miis. They'd have been better served coming up with their own look and brand identity. Maybe they could have talked to Will Wright, and we could all use Spore creatures as avatars ;)

@eoaa: I assume because the electrical contacts no longer line up correctly when you attach a 1-inch cube to the bottom of the remote.

Thanks, Kotaku, for magnifying another non-issue. I'll file this away with the "Widescreen DS?" from last week.
