You really don't know what Pokemon is and why it's so popular? I'd recommend Wikipedia and youtube for detailed information, but here's a summation:

It's tough to say how the Wii U will fair in the next generation. Touchscreen gaming is a no-brainer these days, and paired with traditional controls, I can't see developers being adverse to it. I think a lot will rely on Nintendo's Online Network structure and what third party exclusives it can garner. First party…

Day one purchase no-doubt. At first, I thought it might end up being too simple and kid-friendly in gameplay, staying to the old formula of grind-to-win. Then I saw some new trailers, then I watched someone play it live at E3. Then I knew I was wrong. This is a core game. Studio Ghibli needs to do more games with…

I won't have that "Not HD" problem :) Dolphin emulator for life! I will buy a legit copy. I bought Skyward Sword and played it all the way through on Dolphin and I can honestly say I enjoyed the visuals so much more because of the higher fidelity.

I have been excited for the game. The gripes mentioned in the review are about the only things I find unfortunate as well. Not being able to pause and not being able to pause or skip cutscenes? This is 2012, we have learned these lessons in game design. I imagine they'll patch it post-release.

Nyko does it again! I already have their extended battery firmly attached to my 3DS and it makes the difference. I would have picked up Nintendo's Circle Pad Pro had it not been full of design flaws. To name a few: relying on infrared signals, preventing cartridge swapping while attached, disabling my use of an…

I always wondered why the Pixar worlds weren't used sooner, like in KH2. I could understand that in planning the future of the KH series, the Pixar characters were being saved for the next full plot arc. Kingdom Hearts 3 will likely revisit the same worlds we've seen, with brand new layouts. Then, when the next…

Haha! Only 80 hours. I've sunk in at least 100, maybe 200. That's not meant to be a brag. Not only have I had a ridiculous amount of fun with the first game is solo and with friends, but this game single handedly recruited 7 of my family members into it through my introduction.

All these expansions on the multiplayer are awesome. I feel like I'm asking too much when I say I can't wait for a more dedicated Mass Effect multiplayer experience. Yes, ME3 multiplayer is getting a lot of MP attention from Bioware (thank you again!) but the main focus was still on the single player.

Sliders can still support button pressing. It might even have been more comfortable to click sliders.

I honestly wanted the sliders to stay. On the 3DS it's not that comfortable because it's so small. I figured a bigger version would work well. I'm hoping that Nintendo got a lot of feedback from people actually using it.

Yeah, there is a lot of jargon involved. The plot has been all over the place and has only recently been pulling itself together. The first game and the prequel definitely work for new comers. Playing the prequel first actually helps make the first game make more sense.

That wasn't bananas the way I thought it would be. The slicing is amazing. I'm glad they kept that. It also looks like they will allow for some stealth gameplay on top of the the over-the-top action.

Really? This is "speculation"? Of course Sony is going to put it's cross-over brawler on both its major game systems. I can't believe it wasn't announced simultaneously with the PS3 version.

I like to think they wrote terribly on purpose. That way I can enjoy those lines guilt free.

There needs to be a philosophical change in understanding what a perfect score in reviews means. I never understood a perfect score as an indication of a perfect game. I always thought of a perfect score as the highest recommendation to buy and play a game.

DOA5 looking good in my opinion. They are keeping things fun with subtle expansions to the solid foundation, which is how it sound be done. They seem to be working in spectacle around it. While some of these set-pieces will be repeated to boredom, I can imagine they'll hide certain contextual events in a way that…

It all sounds like a story of fate for most early game developers. When they couldn't get the jobs they wanted, they got they got the chance they deserved in games. Sometimes you jsut have to look at what opportunities life gives you. They may be the one you needed to pursue.

It would be harder for Microsoft because it doesn't have as long a legacy in gaming as Sony and Nintendo. They are still very new and aren't very exclusive oriented. "rbranyan3to" is correct that Microsoft could make a similar game themselves, it would rely mostly on third contracts for characters. XBLA is home to…

I'm aware. If you double check my phrasing, I commented on Japanese homes having smaller HDTV screens, not having SD TVs. Japanese homes are notoriously smaller than western homes, so they gravitate toward smaller electronics.
