It isn't. This is a new line by PDP which are licensed by Nintendo. Much higher quality.

Today's news will probably leave some other Wii U owners feeling a bit let down, however. By what, exactly? Well, the obviously varies from person to person. Personally, I was looking forward to getting the new GameCube controllers for two main reasons other than playing the new Super Smash Bros. First, because as my…

R.O.B. is not at the bottom, Kirby is at the top. What is this? Also: Lucina is better than Marth.

I assume Lucina was ranked so low because she's a "clone character" but I like her way better than Marth. She's light and quick like Marth was in Melee. Her recovery doesn't seem quite as good as Marth's though.

The store I work at has always taken the figures. When we first started, we had every figure built in individually, and employees had to look up each figure online to see which one it was before taking them in. Needless to say, we switched to a generic SKU for each figure line (Giants, Swap Force, etc.) after a few…

Lack of Ice Climbers is my only beef. There are some new additions that would have been nice (*cough*Isaac*cough), but IC are the only old characters I'm really going to miss. Crossing my fingers for that DLC.

It really wasn't that long ago that we had a great one.

I just finished it an hour ago, apparently it's really short. 16 hours for me to complete the main quest and do every side-mission. The game has several branching paths though, so I guess you're expected to play it a bunch. New Game + lets you keep everything but levels, so that's awesome. If you're hesitant,…

YESSSSS! And since the games I'll be using it for are mostly going to be games I haven't used previously, I won't have to worry about the save bug, so that's good. Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely pick one up when I can afford it.

Cool, good to hear. Yeah, I really wish I had pre-ordered it initially now, but I didn't have the money at the time and it kept getting pushed back. My main concern is that it can play Terranigma (PAL). I asked Hyperkin if it could on their blog when they first announced it and they replied that they were aiming for…

If you like Japanese geek culture, go for it. The battle system isn't very good, but I'm having a good time with the game outside of that.

What are your thoughts on the Retron 5? I've heard mixed opinions. I really want one for importing games. Also, I don't own a Genesis.

I wouldn't use KH as an example for Square's glory days. Those games have actually gotten better, rather than worse.

I wish Game & Wario was better. The bonuses are great, but the only mini-game I had any desire to do more than once was Kat & Ana's puzzle one. I played it for a week when it came out and haven't gone back to it since.

I'm still working my way through Akiba's Trip. The combat is awful, but the cultural refferences keep the game interesting enough.

Ugh. It utterly disgusts me how vicious the gaming community has been lately. I hope every one of them DOES feel threatened. I hope Squeenix cancels all the Final Fantasies, etc. Do you know how happy I was in the mid-2000s when gaming started to go mainstream? Do you know how many people I've called narrow-minded for…

We all knew it was coming. It had to. While I'm still very excited that Ganon, Zant, AND Girahim are all confirmed as playable, I'm still crossing my fingers for Groose.

Reminds me of Shredder from the end of TMNT 2. The outfit is really busy, which is befitting of a Nomura design, I suppose.

I still have my original cart with everything unlocked, so... No. Now, if they released the SECOND game on the eShop...

Oh, wow. That, oddly enough, is one of my favorite games. For years, it would be my go-to game before bed. I still wish we had gotten the second game in the states.
