There are a a lot of Vita games, they're just also playable on PS3, PS4, and PC.

I don't know what Sony's deal is with the proprietary memory bullshit. The 3DS takes general SD cards, why can't the Vita take miniSDs? I don't want to play $50+ for 16 GB of memory!

Goddamn, do I want those larger Start and Select buttons! And the 1 GB onboard memory. But I don't wanna give up my OLED screen. :/

Super Mario 3D World is not just a "good" game. It's a slick and well-oiled fun engine that pumps out nothing but pure platforming bliss.

The PS4 and Xbone are going through their first-year droughts, but the Wii U is already past that. Everyone who says it has no games is too damn picky. I have 12 or so retail titles…

Tomodachi Life has the same hard, capitalist core as Animal Crossing: spend and earn, spend and earn, acquiring an ever-expanding selection of pointless yet still unfathomably desirable items. Making your Miis happy earns you money - their smiles are, cumulatively, worth a thousand pounds. But also like Animal…

Jeez, guys, just let Fahey live his dreams. Isn't that what Disney World's all about?

It wasn't necessarily Microsoft's fault, actually. The SNES was the first console with BAXY face buttons (in the configuration Nintendo still uses today), but when Sega launched the Dreamcast, it had the swapped ABYX. Microsoft based a lot of the original Xbox's design on the Dreamcast, so their controller has the…

I completely respect that logic, Stephen. When I saw the deluge of poor reviews for this game, I asked myself, "Is this really worth my $40?" And I decided no. I'd rather spend my money on a game that challenges me and provides a new experience. I've been bitten too many times by the New Super Mario Bros. games to…

As a platforming fan, I think the original Yoshi's Island is one of the best games ever made. It's consistently creative and fun and surprising. It's full of everything that reminds me why I like video games in the first place. But the sequel on the DS kinda bored me. It's a shame this new one turned out to be just as…

Holy God, that loading screen. Seeing it again is like feeling a burning sensation when you pee the morning after a night of unspeakable horror. You may not remember exactly what happened, but you know it wasn't right.

This is one of those game adaptations where I can't decide if I want subtitles or a dub with the original NA voice actors. I just got so attached to their voices after 100 hours. Personally, I prefer to hear the original voices in any foreign animated film, but in a weird way the characters would just sound strange…

Well, that's it. I found the best image on the internet, folks.

Yeah, this seems to echo that same sentiment, actually. The 3DS really took off when it stopped hawking its gimmicks and started letting the console work for the games rather than the other way around.

In fact, it's usually in the later years of Nintendo's consoles that they start pulling out all the bells and whistles…

>_>
<_<
...What's the big deal, again? If the game's fun/good/satisfying/whatever, who cares how long it is? It's part 1 of 2 and it's not even selling at the standard retail price. The only time I'm ever upset that a game is "too short" is when it already sucks, and even at that point it feels merciful. I prefer it…

I like how this is pretty much the exact same screen from NSMBU's manual. Laziness or consistency? You decide!

Damn, that thing looks awesome. I'm still like 500 coins away from it though... :( Hope it doesn't sell out.

I really wish Kirby and the Amazing Mirror would get more love. Everyone always brings up Super Star or Canvas Curse when they talk about Kirby games trying new and crazy things, but that game had a fantastic non-linear style of gameplay. I always wanted to do 4-player co-op in it, but I never had enough friends who…

^ Yes, yes, 1000 times yes. This is a welcome surprise.

And am I the only one who noticed that the camera app now requires you to press both L and R on the home screen to activate it? Thank God. I was so tired of triggering that accidentally.

I'm absolutely shocked that this is apparently also releasing on the Wii U eShop. Publishers have been neglecting the platform when it comes to DLC.
