I doubt it's because of your long hair, but your lack of empathy for segment of the population treated as second class citizens certainly IS a problem.

If you had a job that let you write about Pokemon, wouldn't you?!

That's awesome. Hell of a reply to come up with right off the bat.

3DS outpaces everything for me. JRPGs and platformers on the go cinches it.

As long as it still sells. Worked for Shakespeare.

And, hey, let's face it: they're also kind of embarrassing. Unless you only surround yourself with people who play video games, there's a stigma to the hobby that can't be cleanly wiped away with a few assurances that "yeah, adults play video games too..."

It's because it's actually a lot harder than you think to emulate GBA games on the 3DS. The Ambassador games were sort of an experiment to see what they could with emulating GBA games on the 3DS, but the resources required to get them to work well on a 3DS were pretty large. Due to the Wii U's beefier specs, it's a…

Super Metroid.

It's still a graphically stunning game, and one of the few I've played where everything just feels so alive. From the enemies, to Samus' breathing, to shifting backgrounds, it just feels like a real world. I also really dig the minimalistic plot that still manages to tell a really good story by letting…

Somehow it was a No Guard Machamp using Sheer Cold. No way to avoid it.

I've given up on official Pokemon tournaments ever since I went to one and ended up waiting 8 hours just to lose to Sheer Cold. Playing locally with my friends is way better.

Oh man, Champion's Road was heart-breaking/great. I felt so proud when I finally beat it.

Redoing the temple bosses was a bit of a bore, but I really liked the chance to play with the job classes more and fight the asterisk holders again. The optional fights in Chapters 7/8 were super challenging and fun, and made me reevaluate the abilities of my team. I enjoyed the little differences between the worlds,…

I floop the pig.

I see a lot of moaning and groaning here, some people proclaiming the death of Nintendo and others saying that all of their games will suck if they develop for mobile. And yeah, classic Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc. would probably all be pretty terrible on mobile.

Well MY first LoZ was the first one on my NES, and I've played/owned everything up to this point as well. And you know what? I *like* the controls for Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. It was a nice break from the traditional "press A to stab this thing" motif and raising the shield in combat actually made it more…

Yep, totally right!

Oh please oh please OH PLEASE cast the Car Talk guys as something. They'd be great as NPCs or radio personalities.

You might want to rethink the wording for your post. I get what you're saying, but someone casually browsing through is going to see "I can't recommend To The Moon" and cut off when they get to that first comma.

Take a minute to think of an internet devoid of Nintendo memes.

Frightening, isn't it?
