That seems pretty cool. I don't usually go for "gimmicky" games like this, but learning how to cook is always a cool things. And despite the two things you mentioned as a negative, i might consider trying it out.

The iPad is just another attempt at making a cool looking item for a niche audience. Yes, it's cool, but why take an aspect of something people like, and make just toting it around a pain in the ass?

@pandafresh: How the fuck was Super Mario Galaxy #2? Under OoT?!

Oh wow, somebody is about to get their ass handed to them by microsoft! ... Naw, he'll get away and keep doing it. Stopping a hacker means keeping them away from an active terminal forever. That's not likely to happen.

This is more about their policy on downloaded games then the DSiXL, but even on the Wii where you can link your Wii, systems, and ALL games (downloaded and disc) and yet if i were to have to get a new Wii or DS, it shows i've bought these games, and politely says to buy the game again or f off.

@Goldwings: Giving Kotaku sunshine since 07: they did say it's a successor to the DS, but i still think it's low. It's akin to releasing the PS3 1-2 years after the PS2 instead of 10 years.

I just don't know. I mean, i could be cool, but my roomie stole my DSlite last year, and i was thinking of getting a DSi. But shouldn't DSi and DSxl owners be upset at this? I think this is just as bad as Apple making a new Nano each year. I mean i understand the whole "don't adopt early" thing, but it's not fair…

So he's taking what will be a great but short game, make us pay full price for probably 25% of the game, and nickel and dime us for the other 75%?

This is the reason i loath my generation. Because all the crap they're into now is going to be held up higher then the actual good stuff that came before us. For the most part, good products ended in the mid/late 90s. Thanks 90s kids for giving us soldier boy and hinder, endless remakes (ok, some are good), and…

I'll be waiting in line eating whitecastle!

Did anybody else notice the dust effects? Seems new to me.

Did anybody else notice the weather effects? That level had like a dust storm effect going on in the foreground, and i don't remember it in the 360 version (granted it's been a few months, i use to play it daily)

Not impressed. And mindless tart can throw money down and buy games. It's not the size of the collection that matters, it's the quality.

I'm not a Wii hater or an opposing fanboy, but am i the only one who see this and can't believe it's a wii title? I kinda feel like this is a ps3 version and we're being baited and awaiting the switch.

Wow, way to not delve into E3 and find the gems. I mean, i totally want most of those games they listed, but who DIDN'T see this coming? Heavy Rain? FFXIII? FFXIV? Oh wait, what about all those "awesome" titles Nintendo dropped on us? No love for them?

Damn, i hate this trade off we have. Japan gets ALL the cool bundles for every good game that comes out, americans get the games before europe, and europe gets to feel loved by just receiving the games. If i was a crazy rich, i would steal square away from japan. Then we would have all the bundles! HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!

@Will Delaney: i lol'd it was awesome.

I finally got DOW2 the other day, and besides having to deal with the evil GFWL and its useless tech people on the forums, it is AMAZING! I dare say better then the first DOW and DC.
