I'm interested in the Wii-U, but I'm definitely only interested in two games at the moment: Pikmin 3 and Project P-100. I plan on getting it when it releases (provided the price is reasonable) and I really hope they have more games to announce by the time Tokyo Game Show rolls around. I'm also interested in some HD…

Ha! Funny you should mention the Verge- I just set up an account there yesterday (under the same name) and I'm really excited about Crecente and McWhertor's new blog (I believe ex-Joystiq-ers Justin and Griffin McElroy and Chris Grant are there, too!). Unfortunately, their site hasn't really gone live yet, so they…

I think I'm bouncing from Kotaku. This new commenting format is lame. Anyone know of any better community sites? Joystiq is pretty terrible too, at this point- so if anyone knows of any better places to get news and discuss games, please share. See ya later.

I played a browser-based Oregon Trail emulator a few years ago, and found it to have aged terribly (in my opinion). I never bothered hunting down the rest...

Do kids even know what Carmen Sandiego is anymore? I remember the series of games as something I had to settle for in my school's computer lab (circa 1990), but I never loved them. Do they still make these games? Do kids still only have the option of playing Carmen Sandiego, Number Munchers, Mavis Beacon, or The…

M. Bison is also modeled on Nazis- but he has psychic powers, not robotic ones ;)

Hey-OOOOH!!!!

Don't forget Smash Daisaku in Gunstar Heroes. He's a total Nazi with a jetpack and extendable robo-legs!

Definitely. I mean, I can totally understand that they didn't have the resources to invest in that level of R&D, and they didn't really have a good idea on how to model a functional online identity/marketplace. The Gamecube was Nintendo's least successful console, so they didn't have the confidence or know-how to make…

PC gaming began stagnating when PC game makers stopped trusting PC gamers to actually pay for their games. Instead of whining about unoptimized console ports- you should be whining about the serious dearth of AAA PC exclusives. Nobody accused consoles of holding back PC game development in the 90's because the…

I'm interested in the possibilities of the Wii-U as well as whatever Nintendo plans on doing, software-wise- but I'm definitely not interested in anything from Sony or Microsoft. They turned their current consoles into PCs, only without most benefits of playing on a PC. Japanese game development has all but dried up,…

I totally agree on every point. I would love to see a proper new Wii-U title in this series- but I would definitely settle for an HD remake/remaster. I would also love to see HD remasters of many Wii games- but also a lot of Gamecube games, as well.

You nailed it. That's exactly what happened. Sega Saturn never recovered in North America, and while Bernie Stolar was still COO, the vice president, Peter Moore was orchestrating a deal behind the scenes with EA and Microsoft to kill the Dreamcast before it even launched in North America. Sega's American branch…

"I only wish I knew what happened in Sega HQ that suddenly turned them full retard after the Sega CD came out."

It's easily in my top 5 :)

*NEWS FLASH*

Looks amazing to me. I can't wait to play most games with it :)

I really wish this was coming out on Wii-U instead. The original was a great technical showpiece for the Gamecube and it had perfect controls (which can be accurately reproduced on the Wii-U). I want to see what an HD Luigi's Mansion can look like...

Dude- your comic is looking rad. Whatever you're onto- you're doing it right.

I don't think any single platform won, in the end. Last generation saw the PS2 emerge as the runaway winner by a huge margin, but it also marked the first time that more than two console platforms really succeeded all around.
