That or cries of betrayal. An odd mix, but nonetheless, I applaud them not just releasing a game for a time table like, oh, say, every other major publisher. SEGA'S approach to Sonic games rings a particular bell these days, but Ubisoft had been just as active across several franchises. I also don't think that they'll…

Anything shy of them announcing a Nintendo OS will make me disappointed. I recall Iwata saying that they were impressed with the scalability of iOS and Android, and it would solve all of their major problems with launching new hardware and insure that backwards compatibility would be possible forever, for all systems…

My love of Jim Sterling's work began with the Jimquisition and followed over to his YouTube channel. My understanding of his work there is, largely, that it's a scathing indictment of how Steam has become a dumping ground for hot garbage in recent months (if not years). I see this criticism as more of the same. If…

PLEASE let me buy this. Please? Way to tease those of us who dreamed of a Dreamcast Virtual Console for the Wii U.

As someone who happened to buy the Zelda puzzle this weekend, for anyone wanting the instant gratification of paying for a thing and getting it right then, my local Toys R Us had a ton of the Zelda map puzzle at the same price.

That video essentially said precisely what I'd seen in the PSP era and suspected would happen again. I was a disgruntled PSP owner and always wished I had a DS instead. Went 3DS this time, and I couldn't be happier that was the case. Sigh.

I'm guessing that Shuffle will come to mobile, honestly. I've played very few (if any) first party Nintendo games that completely lacked 3D. I never played Trozei, so maybe it's the same, but that struck me as really odd given how easy adding in 3D would be for the game (or so I assume, as it'd just be a bit of…

Oh god. I don't want to know how many endless runners we'll get. Link collecting rupees! Mario collecting coins! Luigi...... also collecting coins! Throw on some random aesthetic skins for each world and BAM, you're done! Ugh. I hope the games aren't that much paint-by-numbers, but, we'll see. I'm hoping they're not…

I can't imagine Nintendo allowing another company to damage one of their beloved IPs with a horrible game. They already almost let that happen with the Zelda CDi games, and if there's one thing Nintendo does, it's never make the same mistake twice.... even if it ends up being a massive detriment to them. If not? Well,…

If nothing else, given how much fans are clamoring for a return to form for the series, I think it'd be a step forward by virtue of being nothing like RE:6. In fairness, I never played RE:6, but have scarcely heard a good thing about it. Still, I've always been intrigued by this cancelled but nearly done game, and…

With their love of re-releases, this seems like it's a no-brainer.

I feel like I should like the show but there's a weird smarmy smugness to his voice that drives me nuts for some reason.

Yeah the early going was pretty rough. With some bottles it gets easier, but still. Whew. It was definitely a bit on the easy side for the first playthrough, but I think it may be my favorite Zelda game to date, honestly. I'll need a bit more time to think about it since I know I love it since it's new and did so many…

Especially on Hero Mode in the new game plus.

Now we know what Mario Maker will be used for. Yikes.

The memory cards are why I won't even consider the system. I'd almost only want digital games, and I don't want to spend as much on memory as I do on the damn system. I've thought to myself "if the Vita were offered on a crazy sale or refurbished online for like $100, I'd definitely get one...." And then, I remember…

I am in the same camp. I don't see myself wanting to play this style of game enough to justify a purchase of Trozei so this is perfect. If I liked it enough, I'd just buy Trozei.... But I don't, so this is like an infinite demo essentially. I won't spend a penny and I'll buy Trozei before I do. Hell, it might drive…

I would definitely want that. I'm glad we'll still get a platinum reward this year, and that'd be pretty amazing.

I think the exclusive codes at least lack a use number, which is handy. I shared mine with folks on Twitter but probably should have done it here first.

I think Ubisoft have become the poster children for not preordering AAA games anymore. I feel like more niche titles and certain developers and publishers are more trustworthy as well. The "AAA" industry is a damn minefield though. Still, I refuse to preorder just about anything, since I don't know for sure who I can…
