I immediately thought of Antichamber as well. I like the stark color scheme of games like Antichamber that mesh with bold colors. It's a nice retreat from the usual grey/brown color palette lots of games seem to like to embrace these days. I always love seeing color in the games I play, and pairing it with a stark…

I could see the Fox News reports about it now... and they wouldn't bode well for the "family friendly" image Nintendo has crafted so carefully over the years. I don't mean to personally conflate "family friendly" with anything here myself, for the record, since I think same sex relationships are only not "family…

In fairness, I think they're justified in feeling disappointed and left out of the game, and being disappointed by the press release. I imagine most people commented on the situation and even the Miiquiality video without even watching it all the way through. The person who made it actually had the right idea: express…

The one real problem here is that they came from the same post, but nonetheless, the second is a bit less alarmist and inflammatory. Nonetheless, I'm not a fan of throwing around terms like "bigoted" when making wild assumptions about the actions/attitude of an entire corporation based on a single press release. Words…

I'm glad to see Nintendo responding like this, honestly. I think some of the heat they came under, however, was a bit excessive. Phrases I've seen in other places like:

This also must be where Nintendo is losing all its money: fancy bananas for Iwata.

I like that gaming has some eccentric personalities in it. I'm not a fan of some of them (who will remain nameless, to not have to explain it all away forever), but I do appreciate that gaming personalities aren't all just the big names like Molyneux or Cliffy B. Almost anyone can make games now, and hopefully it'll…

I do agree that their refusal to incorporate same-sex relationships isn't cool (and, naturally, something of a contradiction to their statement that they "never intended to make any form of social commentary with the launch of Tomodachi Life"), but is this really a case where "Nintendo responds terribly"? I expected…

Honestly, I loved the idea immediately, as someone who shares the TV and likes to play games without dominating it. I saw off-tv play and was hooked; it's a feature I never want to NOT have, since it gives me an excuse to play games I know my fiancee won't want to watch me play (like Madden... though there's no threat…

As a Florida transplant I accept and agree with all of your hate for Floridians. They're a scary bunch... The natives, anyway. My working theory is that the lack of seasonal changes makes living in Florida like purgatory, and drives people insane as it's like living the same day perpetually, just marginally hotter and…

I felt wary enough of that image to need to Google that to confirm it was real, and was suitably horrified to see that it was. I'm perhaps more amazed/confused that the actual company name is ThunderBull EntertainMEN. No "t" for entertainmenT. Just... wow. Talk about abusing every known buzzword for the genre. I'm an…

I really thought that the Sega Classic Series, or whatever they called it that brought Jet Set Radio to Steam, was going to be more of a recurring thing, and I'm bummed that it isn't. I felt relatively certain titles like Shenmue and Skies would be on PC by now too, and I'm bummed that they're not.

I've yet to drop more than about $15 on any single one of the random things adorning my desk at work. I would absolutely love something Skies related there to accompany the menagerie of Nintendo items... But $200 is way too much for me. My desk will need to live on jealous of yours...

I hadn't considered that, but since Sega has some legit JRPG weight back under its belt again... Other than Sega being Sega... What excuse could there possibly be??? I would kill for a sequel.

That's cruel...... but nonetheless hilarious.

Also fair and true. Georgie, I think his name was, provided some fantastic comedic reflief.

I distinctly recall NFL Blitz for the N64 costing either $64.99 or $74.99.... not sure which, but yeah, its been worse multiple times before, which is good to remember every here and there. I assume the cost of CD/DVD/Blu Ray is lower than olde tyme cartridges, which probably helped those older games cost more, but…

It's $10 here (or, $9.99, rather) for both platforms, I think, so do with that what you will!

I definitely agree with some of the other comments above me. It's a game that really challenges you to have fun; it models the experience of being a border patrol agent checking immigrant documentation, and as you might imagine, it's not very fun... in a traditional sense, perhaps. So if you're looking for something…

"Racist" seems to be the new buzzword for "this involves race, and also, I don't like it," which again, isn't the best (or even correct) use of the term. People like to brandish it like a weapon because they know it has power, but fail to realize that the more they use it incorrectly, the more desensitized people may…
