"just" the vita and smartphones(and by extension every single tablet) ?? that sounds like a heck of a lot of competition to me considering everyone on the planet just about owns a smartphone or a tablet.

Also I love how it says "Nintendo's one piece of good news, the growing success of the 3DS" as if it's one of ten consoles Nintendo is working right now. It's 1 of 2. So, one piece of good news out of two potential pieces of good news. Doesn't seem so bad. In any event, anecdotally, the 3DS blew up something fierce…

the worst part about this is i am not sure a single person in the history of the 3DS has even used the camera...

I agree. My house has all 3 systems and is lived in by a bunch of jobless gamers. i expected the ps4 and xb1 to get the most playtime but its by far been wii u. its not even close. personally, i didn't like any ps4 launch title aside from nba2k but thats just me.

I'd def swap in a multinational energy corporation or two. but yeah...about right.

Aside from the admittedly boring level selection, which is essentially a spruced up menu, what else sucked? The level design was among the best the series has had. The play mechanics were solid, and control beautifully. Power ups? Fun. 3D? Cool as heck. Difficulty? Starts easy and ramps up considerably in second half,…

But if the level design was so great who cares about the cohesion? That's like knocking a game down because of crappy looking menus or something.

But we are gamers! We don't have muscles........(sigh.)

GROOSE THEME 4EVER.

When you are actually playing it, this stuff is a non issue. It looks great.

After reading hundreds and hundreds of things written by Evan, I finally know how to pronounce his last name. Score? Why not, score!

yeah what's the big deal with that? it's his baby. this is going to blow past its goal which would not have happened quite so easily if it weren't (sort of kind of mostly) the next real mega man game that people have wanted for so long.

I feel the same but the great year the 3DS has had has pretty much put that talk to rest.

exactly. it looks great! but..i've been down this path too many times with a boatload of games on my devices that i haven't played more than 3 minutes of.

Fury, the money isn't taken from the people unless the project reaches its goal, so everyone is fine.

Thank you Simon and Darren at Black Arts for creating the time sink that is Realms of Gold franchise! Wait...

Amen brother. Although we aren't ever allowed to talk about this kind of thing here because it brings the freaks out and makes me sad to be a gamer.

people on the left are foaming at the mouth about this stuff. it's just, like anything that matters in today's day and age, not on tv.

Why does the Ouya get certain people so angry? It's just a video game console! I don't own it but it is certainly an intriguing idea and I could see myself buying one if the games were there.

GameXplain dude is a god among men!
