I think it's all pure BS as well, and hope we can make some changes to copyright law someday. I just happened upon the knowledge of "you need to defend your copyright to the death, or else others will use it against you" a while back, and think that's the most messed up part of it, since it more or less forces people…

To my knowledge these situations are made worse by the fact that copyright holders need to show them defending their copyright in these situations, since if they don't, they won't be able to do so in other contexts, and these situations can be used as a defense to show that the copyright holder doesn't actually care…

It feels like a natural gut instinct to dislike the practice since it feels somehow... wrong.... or cheap.... but I think it is, inevitably, a case-by-case basis. Hell, if Nintendo dropped HD treatment on a bunch of other titles, I'd hardly be pissed about it, and would likely buy many of them myself... assuming I…

I only see it as alarming in the sense that I'd prefer to see more "new" games coming out on the systems and this seems like a way of inevitably delaying that happening, with resources getting poured into remastered last gen games. Again, the optimist in me says it's being done so that these companies can get old tech…

Great news for fans like yourself, I imagine, should they do that. The series never gripped me and struck me as overhyped, though, so I can be petty sometimes as jump on the hate bandwagon, but I do hope for the AC faithful that something like this would deliver the goods. I ended up getting Wind Waker HD since I…

Oh god. I didn't even think about that, but I could TOTALLY see them deciding to do a "remastered" series for the old Assassin's Creed games... there's no way Ubisoft will let those easy dollars sneak by them. If nothing else, I'm sure we'll get a "Master Chief Collection" sort of deal, with everything bundled…

The optimist in me wants to believe that this is a way to get paid for getting acquainted with new hardware and get engines and such up and running on new hardware and be able to turn a profit in the process (I'm suspecting that this motivated titles like The Last of Us Remastered, and I seem to recall this being the…

....... I brought that up because that's why I always buy my games instead of renting them, and to support developers. There's no reason to be a complete asshole about it when what I said was completely relevant and you seem bent on turning this into some fanboy bullshit. Did you read all of that and think at all…

.......? I literally don't understand what you're getting at here. Because I buy my Wii U games new on purpose to support developers... That's why it won't be released there....?

I think Nintendo has had some good moments of highlighting the Gamepad on the Wii U, but not as much as I'd like, which has been a bit of a bummer. I've been content with the implementation overall, as I think even small enhancements like the off-tv play and map screens and inventory on the Gamepad more than enough to…

I can't help but find it interesting that whenever a piece of hardware launches with lots of bells and whistles these days (the Wii U and Vita in particular) it seems like the folks most intent on doing something cool with it are indie devs trying to make the hardware do cool new things. I'm thinking of titles like…

As a Nintendo gamer, I do like to make sure I'm supporting developers, knowing every game released for the Wii U is essentially a ransom for future content, and everything I don't buy new, I'll be forever guilted by when folks like Ubi inevitably decide not to release something on Nintendo's systems.... there'll be…

I'm guessing it's their solution to needing to make sure they get the last gen cash while still trying to make a game that's just for the next gen as well. I can't say I understand the fascination with the franchise at all, having played 1 and 4 when they were relevant and due to all the hype, only to be bored to…

I've had my eye on this game for a long time, and it looks amazing. It looks like the kind of game that shows the raw power of the interactive medium we all love; I think a video or book about the same subject matter, with the ability to passively consume it, would be much less effective at communicating this same…

I'd buy a 3DS version instantly, honestly. I love the game, but it's not one I like to take the time to play on my PC, and I really hate to need to use the keyboard, as I use a 360 pad for 95% of my PC games, and 100% of them when I have a choice in the matter. Given how easy it can be to die in the game, I think it'd…

I recall Telltale more or less saying at some point there was no way they'd bring The Walking Dead to Android, for the issues others mention in this thread like piracy and fragmentation, and yet, here we are, with both seasons out on the platform now. I suspect we'll be getting these titles eventually, but the closed…

I love Nintendo, don't get me wrong, but it bums me out to see some of the policies they've had and how they treat developers. The Binding of Isaac thing was a bit ridiculous, and I'm glad Adelman was willing to speak out against it. I'm sure his replacement will be on a short enough leash by default to not have the…

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (thanks, Club Nintendo!) Along with even more Tomodachi Life.... Somehow. Hasn't been as fun lately, so I'll be adding in some new islanders starting with the Bluth family to spice things up. I also have Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 on the Wii U to tend to before considering titles like…

Well said, I agree, and I'm glad the system helps some folks.

So, like the bowling and volleyball-like games in the Tekken series, I imagine? I think modes like that can be decent fun, and would definitely like to see more cases of these characters and mechanics mapped onto other contexts.
