I just miss the days where everything was measured in bits. 16-BIT!! 32-BIT!! THE N64: 64 BITS OF RAW POWER!! EXPLOSION NOISE!!!

Aw, man. I knew I should have hung out with the Superhero crowd at school. I ended up making friends with the Mad Scientists instead.

How can you get on a plane if it's on another continent? That's impossible!

Oh goody, the nearest location to me is a three-hour drive. Six hours total driving time to play maybe 15 minutes of a new Mario demo...... I can't decide if that's tempting or not.....

No, it doesn't point to an age gap. It points to the difference in recognizability between a game that was never released onto a failing platform (sorry — the Saturn was a capable system, but it bombed pretty hard) and one of the best entries in one of the biggest game franchises to date. The age of your average gamer…

Yeah, really. I wasn't saying that as a bad thing. It actually looks really dang fun.

I'm sorry, are you actually trying to rationalize that Sonic is better in 3D than Mario, and that every 2D Mario game is "way too easy"? I just... I can't wrap my head around how someone could actually try to argue that.

Sonic X-Treme? The obscure cancelled Saturn Sonic game that never made it out of crude testing phases? Yeah, that's totally a more recognizable reference than Mario Galaxy.

Something always struck me as odd about the Sonic series. None of the other characters in the original games had anywhere near the level of speed and agility of Sonic. Heck, in the original game, Sonic was the ONLY ONE who could make use of the various loops and ramps that seemed to grow naturally on the planet's…

Wait... there's a milestone requirement of 1 million sales before a game can be released through Games On Demand?

"XBox One will support indie developers. They will be either required to find a larger publisher in order to bring their content to the online marketplace, or they can utilize our new IndieOne publishing platform — for the low contract cost of 75% of all monetary profits.

I honestly had never heard of Tearaway before you mentioned it, so I went and looked it up. And....

I was foolish enough to buy both as well. But by "foolish" I actually mean "perfectly content with my purchasing decisions," since honestly both are really great pieces of hardware and have games that make them worth owning. Granted the Vita could definitely use a bit of a boost in its recent releases, but hopefully…

Paper Mario's good, but Paper Luigi is above the fold.

The original idea was to have Mario and company transform into amorphous spheres to tackle Mushroom Kingdom-themed courses akin to Marble Madness, but the N64 couldn't handle rendering curves to Miyamoto's satisfaction. So the whole thing was scrapped, only to be brought back later as Mario Pinball on the GBA.

Man, this was the worst Mario design ever. I'm all for creative liberties but this one didn't look ANYthing like him.

Of course it will. The Vita and 3DS look to be the only systems capable of a decent port of all the Wii U's features. They still haven't said how they're adapting the gameplay to fit onto the 360/PS3, since many levels and entire modes were designed around the tablet controller. This will be a solid boost for the Vita…

Capcom are combining Kung-Fu with Monster Hunter. The twist? It's being funded via Kickstarter.

This is true, but again, it's the marketplace that determines the value of a product that is no longer manufactured. And chances are if you're buying a 69 Camaro, you won't be buying it straight from Chevy, and likewise you won't have to pay Chevy full value of the car in addition to whatever the seller is asking.
