My ~launch Slim is very loud. Have they iterated at all on the heat sinks or fans? If so, this could be a fun upgrade.

I thought he kind of sounded like King Richard from Disney's animated Robin Hood.

When Nintendo's flagship is the Wii U, there will finally come a point where they say, "we don't need to finish QA - we'll ship, and because of the hard drive, release day one patches." Some of those won't come, and you'll have a Mario game where you fall through walls. It's going to be weird.

Give it time, they'll be for sale.

So, it's one thing for me to re-purchase NES, SNES, and N64 titles, as I've no idea where my carts are, but I have all those games in a chest next to my games library. And my DS Lite is still capable of running them. Now, if Nintendo were to make them them 3D Classics, I'd probably re-purchase every last one.

Whoops - I've been using rechargeables in my Wii since its launch.

Oh goddamnit, I had two tabs open, one was for the Vita series of games and the other was this. Apologies.

I think you mean Juno *births* the little Asian boy. Otherwise, 100% correct.

Sony's Holiday 2012: The Last of Us Guardians.

Now imagine all three coordinating the project. Naughty Dog would bring believable rapport and best-in-industry writing / art direction, Bioware a deeper combat / leveling system, and Valve some great pacing and tack on 3 years to the development time while Gabe spite delayed it.

You're a happy camper.

I'd be super interested to see a Naughty Dog or a BioWare or a Valve Zelda. Think about how insane those would be.

I wonder if we'll be seeing Golden Abyss character and map packs in Uncharted 3 as a cross-promotion? They've been showing The Last of Us trailers on the Uncharted TV feature. Then again, that's a Naughty Dog title, and Golden Abyss isn't.

I don't know how xenophobic Korea is, but Japan sure loves parading out other races and staring. It's not nearly as novel when you're American (and I'm sure other mixed-race countries), what with the melting pot and all.

Final Fantasy IX and Chrono Trigger / Cross still have such incredible color palates, music, and character animations (spritework in CT's case), that they're very, very playable when viewed against the greybrown of this console generation's games. And unlike 7, they don't have a ton of dated minigames that are a chore…

Totally. But it takes time to re-release the same game again.

No Naughty Dog? I think they're the best developer around right now - their only competition being Valve or BioWare or From Software.

I'm curious about which other games / creators that Sony loved that you lost, and why you don't accept more properties into your stable. Insomniac? Meh.

I often yawn when my dog does. She often yawns when I do. Food for thought.

I was the same way - good luck. My launch Wii didn't give any coins, nor my DS Lite. 3DS and its and Wii's game did, though, so whatevz.
