Is this the first time in video game history that concept art for a western release has gotten goofier instead of all violent aggro GRAURRRR-ier?

Knytt underground! Thats seriously the best game for Vita.

Love that some reviews say "great game, except too much time in the dream world" and others say "great game, except too much time in the real world." LIFE IS WEIRD.

if this religion goes down anything like your average video-game related message board, we are screwed.

It's funny because I kinda think Japanese games have been experiencing a sort of mini-renaissance. Atlus has been pumping out the jams, Nintendo always pumps out the jams, Monolith etc. In particular to JRPGs, they are really hitting this great middle ground to suit both tastes.

No Etrian Odyssey IV love?? That game is boss.

I am pretty much in the exact same position as Stephen. So much that my Gold Live status just dwindled last week and I didn't even bother to renew. 3DS with 32GB card has changed my gaming life.

I love Animal Crossing. OK. That's all.

I'm fine with this. Nintendo games are what I look forward to most of all on Nintendo devices. However, maybe they can develop some niche third party hits like the 3DS (and DS before it) has. Atlus I'm looking at you...

Francis is so damned funny. Never ceases to not crack me up. Dude is kind of a genius.

Can we get a percentage of how many of these games show actual gameplay footage versus canned nonsense?

I say this with great sadness, but one of those DSs is mine and it still has Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon in it! I hope the MTA got further than I did..

Really? That looks just like the Mario games we already have but the physics would probably floaty as all get out.

Life is not that simple sometimes. Pokemon is a unique case of many cooks in one crowded IP kitchen. The critters are actually owned not only by Game Freak and Nintendo but by Creatures Inc. as well. In Pokemon's case, Nintendo only publishes the games as Game Freak is a second party studio and not a first party. So…

Nintendo doesn't actually make Pokemon though. Game Freak does, so it's their call if they want to spend their financial reserves on this sure fire 3D open world hit or whatever. People always seem to forget that..

When they say "set in the same world as Lttp" do they mean a brand new adventure continuing that world's storyline like Majora's Mask or do they mean it will actually be in the same Hyrule, meaning not too much by way of new overworld exploration?

EA worse than Exxon or BoA or any other awful company that ruins lives on the regular? OK...

I'm a sucker for anything Metroidvania related so Guacamelee totally intrigues me.

You do get something when you get every jewel in a mansion...

Yeah maybe you are right but it just blows my mind that we are two decades into the Internet age and people can still be that, well, dumb? It would take quite literally less than 5 seconds to learn what it is, using a device that sits in our pockets at all times.
