I also got in, totally excited. This download is going slow as hell though. I'm actually really terrible at FPS games though, so I'm bound to die over and over again.

God I have a huge boner for this game. I had a great time playing through 3, so I'm pretty excited for this.

@QualityJeverage: That's the one thing that bugged me the most about the 360's dashboard themes. You throw down your 120 points or whatever, only to find that they look terrible.

I finished up Infinite Undiscovery and Super Mario RPG. Then I played a bit of Beautiful Katamari and Mega Man 9.

@tei15: Most of them play on custom sticks I believe.

10 consoles over the span of 3 years? That averages out to roughly 3 per year. I find that unacceptably high. I got my first 360 last year and I'm starting to really dig the game selection so I'm hoping that I get lucky and won't have to replace my 360 until the next generation.

Hey, I'd totally be down for a Kotaku podcast. I think you guys should do it.

@Allosteric: I think he sounds more like Kuroyanagi from Yakitate! Japan, and Zastin from To Love-Ru.

@m0re: I didn't even notice that, good catch.

Is this supposed to become the next generation of DS? If both screens are touch screens, and developers start taking advantage of that, how will current generation DSes play those games?

@axiom: Agreed. How could they not include Jynx. That thing scares the fuck outta me.

I'm pretty shocked that Namco busted this out. I agree with most people that it kind of ruins the fun of the game. However, I feel almost tempted myself to buy some level ups so I can blaze through the game. Only because Infinite Undiscovery hits the week after.

Oh wow. I'm totally hoping for a Stateside release. I'm instantly sold.

Happy birthday Bashcraft. I sent you a genetically enhanced super monkey in the mail, but I'm not sure if it'll get there in one piece.

You know, that actually looks really good right about now. So it looks great, but how's it tasting?

My Japanese friend once told me that yelling "Namco!" into the controller for certain Namco games gave you extra lives and the like.
