Someone on a forum had a pretty great idea - if Nintendo were to release a model without the Gamepad for $199.99 - it would be bundled with a Pro Controller, with the option to later buy a Gamepad if you wanted through Nintendo. If you find the Gamepad gimmicky, buy the Gamepad-less sku. If you are hard-up for cash,…

"We had no idea Westerners liked nice things. Before learning this, we were only planning to release the PlayStation Broken-Glass Visor to the West."

Aw, bummer. I'd already bought P4G and was looking forward to saving myself trips unplugging my PS4 from one TV and plugging it into another.

Am I the only one thinking how spoiled Japanese game consumers are? They get every game usually a month or two before NA and several more before Europe, and both those territories only get probably a quarter of the overall Japanese product localized. Sometimes products take a year or more to find their way to the rest…

I take it you've never been "in hospital?"

Can you theoretically stream blu-ray content from your PS4 to another TV with this? Is this not only a Vita, but a blu-ray player-by-proxy? Can I leave one room, leave a movie playing, and catch it in another room at the same point? I am absolutely buying one of these if just for Vita content on a television, but I…

That you, Joel?

I'm not sure where you live, but in Japan Flare Red launched in June of 2011 and in NA it launched mid-September 2011. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/10/3ds…

I'm curious about the relationship he and his pupil share.

And weighted boots and bombs and a similar-looking bow. Hearts, sure, and treasure chests. The key differentiator will be its awful, awful iOS controls, though.

Bruce Wayne really isn't that interesting a character. He's a smug obsessive with a male chauvinist facade who's at times a little moody. And Batman's a ninja, so just be quiet. There's not a ton of range. Binnaflick's phoned-in, emotively-vacant middle distance staring should be completely fine.

Please, please lose the present-day interruptions and retcon out the goddess / AI / pieces of Eden nonsense. An uninterrupted climby-stabby period platformer with none of the sci-fi silliness and Scooby Doo gang rejects, there's a franchise whose annualization I wouldn't resent.

Use them to decorate your workspace in that job you love. Put them atop framed pictures as an ornamental flourish.

The Supreme Leader fights for all that is good, while rescuing gracious, beautiful women and slam-dunking over Shaquille O'Neal.

The protagonist in every one of those games is Kim Jong-Un, and the player cannot take damage.

I love how it specifies "New Controller" and "New Console." I can't wait for Nintendo to get over its wildly confusing naming conventions trying to piggyback off earlier successes that sound like peripherals or iterations. Two tech-savvy friends just bought 3DS's (they work in IT at an Ivy), and before I told them…

I'd wager June 2014. Unless they think MarioKart alone can shift some units.

I can't find anything on Walmart discontinuing Wii U sales through Google. When'd they say that? Walmart.com still provides 'em, so it must be recent if legit.

I bought a launch Wii U mostly because I thought Smash would be out this holiday and didn't want to squirrel away another $600 with peripherals and whatnot when I was planning to buy a PS4 at the same time. So in that respect, it's been a rousing success, even if I've turned it on maybe 6 times total. Now I own one…

I've got the same problem, I know I've seen it somewhere. I think it's in the intro to a show or movie - like the production company or something. Things I watch on the reg that it could be: Luther, The Killing, Orange is the New Black.
