So they can't try again? Skyward Sword had a cool art style, they just re-released Wind Waker, and A Link Between Worlds was cartoony, so this would actually be a change of pace. Then they could do something different the next time.

Hmm, yeah, this is notably worse than Bill Trinnen's comments yesterday about this issue. Maybe they should just remove any restrictions on marriage pairings and make it a positive issue instead of a negative PR situation.

Yeaaaaah, but it didn't really look that realistic because of the hardware limitations. If they did something on Wii U, I'm sure it would have a different aesthetic. That said, I didn't mind Twilight Princess.

Damn, that looks awesome! I would love to see Nintendo, at least once, try a really hyper-realistic Zelda—at least for the environments. They could still keep the characters a little stylized. So many people want it; why not try?

Yeah, I was kind of wanting to pay $20 for a digital copy. I realize this is the price of the PS3 version, but I want to get the next gen goodness on my PS4. Konami really should rethink the overall price on this game. I think I'll wait, especially since I need to try to finish Peace Walker, and there is plenty of…

This is exactly why it's sometimes frustrating to hear the games media gripe so quickly about release windows not having enough games, etc. There are SO many games out there that there is pretty much always something to play. I can't remember the last time I didn't have an outrageous backlog of things to play, and I…

It does—thanks for the info. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons :)

So I want to get MGS: Ground Zeroes, but I haven't finished Peace Walker yet. I'm actually having some trouble with it (blog post with details: http://www.theindygamerblog.com/blog/2014/4/8/…). Should I just pick this up? Or do I really need to finish Peace Walker to enjoy GZ? Also, I wish Amazon sold it as a download…

Can this come to Wii U, please and thank you?

Kevin Spacey showing up in this trailer got me thinking...could Call of Duty be episodic? It certainly seems like they're ratcheting up their focus on the story, and I've always wanted them to split out the single player from the multiplayer.

It is kind of hard to understand why they would cancel one of the most-promising Star Wars projects (of any medium) right as they took it over. Hopefully, though, some of the ideas for it will live on in other projects. If they announced that one of the new games was inspired by 1313, they could easily win a lot of a…

It's true that press conferences can be hit-or-miss, but when they're great they're unlike anything that can be bottled up in a pre-recorded video. So, while I know it's more likely to be on the disappointing end of the spectrum, at least having a stage show leaves the potential for greatness.

It's always weird to think about how consoles start out with an infinite number of possibilities and games, but then there comes a point when that software library becomes finite. Still, usually consoles have so many games that it feels almost infinite. For comparison, Super Nintendo had 784 titles (source:…

I know, I know. It's embarrassing to admit, but I can't keep from thinking about it in this way lately. Judging from the huge number of people streaming on both systems, I'm guessing I'm not the only one that's being seduced by the possibility of having a streaming audience, either. It's not all bad, though. Streaming…

It's probably just nostalgia, but I've always enjoyed the North American SNES with its wonderful shades of purple on purple on grey.

You don't think this girl is thin?! I'm not saying she looks unhealthy, but she's definitely thin.

So my problem is not at all that this girl lost weight—good for her! And, like I said, we can't know what her reasons for doing so were. My problem is with the depiction of her reasons on this "news" show with its over-the-top reenactment. It clearly paints her story in a specific light that feeds into a problematic…

I think what's so disturbing about this story is how the show plays right into the idea that being overweight is a sign of weakness and unhappiness and that the only way to be happy is to be thin.

As someone who does work in digital marketing, I can't fathom why this would be a good idea. The whole point of digital marketing and shopping is that you can give consumers a tailored experience in a more convenient way. This literally just recreates the (somewhat tiresome, in my opinion) experience of being in your…

I think because of a very important distinction: people expect VR to be used at home during time specifically designated for immersing oneself in a game; conversely, people expect Google Glass to be even more disruptive to normal societal interactions than the smartphone.
