Theoretically, the game can be played solo, but my wife and I have played, each as two characters, and it works wonderfully.

Thank you for sharing such a meaningful and intense story of life, art, and imitation.

I'm excited for you; there's so much to discover with this system that you'll be busy collecting great games for a long time. I'm totally with Wolfman on his advice, too. You'll likely get around to 3D Land eventually, but the charm of Luigi's Mansion can't be missed, and Shovel Knight's "native" resolution is that of…

Ooh! I think the 3DS is, hands down, the winner. The library is as diverse as it is vast, and that's if you DON'T indulge me with "access to it's entire catalogue…of games compatible with the system", because then you get the DS library and all other discussions are greatly diminished in value as to be irrelevant.

I must say, Will, what Sakamoto is doing with Samus Returns is such a departure from the original (which he didn't even work on at the time) is enough to consider it a new game.

Not fitting in socially and academically at my public school, my parents allowed me to follow a former classmate to a private school in 6th grade. By 7th grade, I'd found a group of friends that introduced me to D&D, something that would have NEVER happened in my former system.

I'm going to go against the grain and ask a serious question: Was the AI allowed direct inputs, instead of inputs with the plausible mechanical lag time of the Atari 2600 Joystick?

It was worth it…

I will say to the end: If they'd flipped the name around to Federation Force - Metroid Prime, it would not be spoken of with such disdain.

The Treehouse demonstration looked fantastic on the live stream - the boss fights look very challenging!

For the record, I'm just figuring out based on this conversation that the term "shit word" has an implication of something being socially/politically pointed.

I agree with this assessment; they allowed it until it hit "1.0", at which time they simply said "enough" and let those that backed the project during development get their full value from it.

Remember that MercurySteam did a serviceable job on Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate on 3DS with Konami supervising the project. With Nintendo supervising? They'll be just fine.

Thank you for making me smile and thinking of Bob Newhart today.

We're at the point where "classics" can live forever - The Wizard of Oz was released in theaters over and over again, and when it finally came to home sales, it was remastered on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray.

For the record, those enemies are not helpless; they can literally kill Mario with a single touch.

I think we'll see Sony expand their PSVR options and demonstrate Elite: Dangerous in it, like the Star Wars X-Wing Fighter simulator.

I saw a piece of official lore on Twitter that suggested the mask is the source of their springy arm capability!

I'm happy to work with you on Mario Kart 8 DX! If it means the Wii U version moves so Switch can take the "8th" slot, they run concurrently, or we find a night of the week elsewhere, I'll help however I can to make it work…I want to be there when I get a Switch sometime next year!

Oh, man…there it is. I was looking for this comment to fix it.
