I still can't believe those are hand-drawn sprites. Those guys at Alpha-Dream are CRAZY.

This is a game that all JRPG lovers need to play. It's like the Spec Ops: The Line of JRPGs, only it was made 20 years ago and it's still relevant. And the only asking price, assuming you have a WiiU, is $10.

Considering the last game was a Zelda II tribute, I have no doubt that WayForward is channeling Gauntlet this time. The way they described the characters in the game totally harks back to the Elf, Warrior, Wizard, and Valkyrie.

Wait, so today we could be getting Shantae and EarthBound? Best Virtual Console day ever?

It should be compatible with WiiU. WiiU and 3DS use the same codes for currency.

They usually announce them near the end of July and send them out in November.

There is generally a stronger focus on dungeon crawling in the SMT parent series. In addition, the gameplay is significantly harder, and requires a great deal more grinding and prep-work.

Once both games are registered through Club Nintendo and the surveys are filled out, you will receive a code to activate on your 3DS.

Only Kingdom Hearts 1 hasn't held up well, and the main things about it that feel dated are getting smoothed out in the upcoming PS3 release. Other than that, the combat just gets faster and deeper with each release, so as long as you play them in order of release, it isn't so bad. I do recommend picking up the whole…

Honestly, the last thing we need is another Pokemon. Keep Trainer and Pikachu, bring back Mewtwo, maybe, and axe the rest.

If you didn't know, Ditto is actually in Melee, though its data was only half-finished. It was supposedly designed to come out of the Pokeball, then transform into and assist the person who released it. HAL either didn't finish the coding in time for release, or found the idea too troublesome to implement.

That's not a law everywhere, though. Most companies just do it as a sign of good graces.

No mention of the launch edition bonuses? XSeed once again does not disappoint.

I was about to post this. I'm glad to see that someone else remembers it.

NDS in 2005, DSL in 2006, Xbox 360 in 2006, Wii in 2007, Replaced my stolen Xbox 360 in 2008, DSi in 2009, PSP in 2009, DSiXL in 2010, 3DS in 2011, PS3 in 2013, 3DSXL in 2013.

Mario Kart Wii has been the only gaming purchase I have felt any regret for. I bought it solely on impulse, played it for an hour, then gave it away.

No international release date has been announced but the Japanese Blu-rays, which include English subtitles, will be released on July 26, 2013.

Fair enough. Tatsunoko and Last Story worked alright with the CCPro, but Brawl was impossible.

Isn't this what they plan on doing with Gaikai? Didn't they talk about this in February and again at E3?

"And oh, the big story that everyone's talking about is this system is the only one where you can still play used games," Fallon said.
