Bought it, along with some badass Hawken shirts :) The shirts are a bit pricey, but there was a 10% off coupon which helped out a bit (it was "IAMBACK" btw).

I can't embed YouTube videos anymore thanks to Kotaku's new crappy mobile site, but here:

That would suck depending on the weather, though.

Mario Kart better on handheld?! What?? It may work fine, but you lose out on the fun of split-screen parties!

Anyone else immediately think of the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

Or, you know, a new one. But not a 3D one. Please not a 3D one. cringes However Mercenary Kings looks like it'll be good!

Can we please get a new Metal Slug? Oh man, and make it on Vita please!

Thanks! I'll have to watch this one soon!

Yes! Man, I miss those.. I still have the few they ever sent me (I signed up, but they rarely sent them out to me) but one of them, with the CG girl fighting in a forest, is scratched to all living hell. I should try buying them all on eBay or something.

Yeah I forget about games for long periods of time :p Seeing this article reminded me though! Now to see what other games I've forgotten about...

Thanks for all the info! I think I'll go with it on PS3 :) I remember how the battle system was very easy to understand for my young self back then, and I think that'll suit me fine now too. And oh boy, the voice acting will probably be fun to joke about while playing, but I remember being really interested in the…

Thank you! I'll be sure to pre-order this then :) It only took me about 12 years to finally check this game out! :P

Oh okay, thank you!

Ah okay. Do they take place in the same universe though? What about that Spirits Within movie? I've seen that, but I don't recall it seeming to do anything with what I've seen of the games. It's been a long time since I saw that movie, though, so I could have missed something.

I've never played any of the Final Fantasy games, but I remember having a demo for this one a long time ago and always playing it over and over on PS2. Do you guys think I'd be okay to just jump into the series with this one, with the HD release, or would I be lost? I'm not sure if this one was a spin-off or a…

Which one was this from? I thought I'd seen almost all of the Mike episodes!

The non-reversed version is way better!

Don't wanna make Rockstar's WONDERFUL new microtransactions useless, right guys? I mean, who doesn't want to either grind the same terrible missions over and over, barely leveling up because they've nerfed it once again, or by just paying Rockstar extra real life cash for in-game money?

That's exactly what the Vita can already do. In AC4: Black Flag you can use the Vita as a map that shows your character's location constantly updating in real time. It's awesome.

I don't mind them, but they should be disabled when on the mobile site. It murders my phone, especially while on 3G. I wish they would only play when you've clicked on it, like that Facebook gif workaround that has started getting popular.
