I agree to a point but what would you have them do? It’s a smart phone..Mario endless runner? Candy Crush with a Zelda skin? Only so many options.

It’s kind of weirding me out that a number of the stretch goals are sort of, uh, things that would be needed to make a good video game in the first place. Unique boss battles, character transformations etc.

"The top section of the machine can be completely pulled out, and is basically a 3DS, capable of playing the hefty back catalog of Wii, GameCube and N64 games that would crop up on the new eShop." Yeah, at the rate of like one interesting game every three-five months. Sigh.

The Vita rules. The 3DS rules. However, gosh, in 2015 is there anything more depressing than smartphone gaming? I say this as an owner of a new iPhone and iPad I just, I dunno, the games don't evolve really. I took a 2 year break from smartphone gaming, or so, and seriously every game is exactly the same as when I…

Been doing this since around 10 pM. Not done yet. SO ANNOYING.

OK. I'm just gonna say it, despite the Darksiders 2 backlash. It's time for a Twilight Princess HD re-up on Wii U.

I want it, but more in the 'ugh should I just throw money away for no reason this week because I'm dumb?" kinda way.

But people criticize Obama 24/7...you lost me there.

It's not that simple. It's about money and looks stay the same so long as the money train keeps moving full steam ahead. As soon as it starts showing even the slightest downward trajectory, then those 'unchangeable' aesthetics you talk about get thrown out the window. In other words, nothing is set in stone ever and…

(I'm responding to myself here.) The sad part is, in their quest to create this sad little mini PR buzz thing when they re-re-re-release something on Wii U VC or something, they lose out on so much money. I, for one, would have already spend at least $150 if I could think of an old game , look for it, and just get it…

The virtual console thing is the most infuriating, although Sony isn't innocent on that charge either.

Both responders said it right, monster hunter + animal crossing with a dash of harvest moon and, dare i say it, just a sprinkling of skyrim(in the simplest way possible.) I put in like 90 hours :(.

i think if i'm ever in the south i'll probably just eat bbq until i pass out/die or both. but i'd check that out too. american history!

I live in the north and don't get out much so pardon my ignorance but, people go to events at plantations?! Yikes.

You can't possibly see how a game intended to help with depression, especially in this day and age, wouldn't be noteworthy? It practically screams "write about me" to journalists, no matter who developed it. It's one of those "damn I should have thought of that" ideas. I mean, come on.

One could make an argument toward the other direction as well. The PlayStation simply could not get a handle on 3D gaming like the N64 could, same with local multiplayer. Not to mention the PS1's notorious load times..

shine on, you crazy, dancing diamond.

I certainly know people can and do but it's inappropriate for you to put words in other people's mouths just because that is what you would do is what I was saying.

you don't know what other people would do, particularly if they already have millions upon millions upon millions of dollars. do i need the money to eat? then yeah i'd take it. do i need it for a tenth golden hot tub? nah, nine will be cool thanks.

This is absolutely right except by slowly you probably mean realllyyy slowly. The infrastructure is just not there yet and doesn't particularly seem that close, especially if consumers expect to keep playing more and more sophisticated games every five years or so.
