You do realize that going out and buying the game themselves wouldn't get the review out 12 hours earlier, right? Also, I think you might be overstating the amount of actual influence gaming journalism has on consumers. Sure, there is certainly some influence, but I don't think it's as vast as you think it is. At any…

This was my first thought, especially when I read the Sheng Long one, as that was a similar case (although Smash's was not as much rooted in actual speculation as SF's). Maybe years down the road, we'll see an update to this article when Ridley's added to the next Smash!

As far as I know, OoT3D (and, I'm assuming, this game) wasn't created from the ground up. I'd assume they took the original N64 game's assets and polished them. That makes for a much less taxing development process than creating an entirely new game. The games that you cited are beautiful games, but I don't think you…

You mean like they did? Seriously, did you play Ocarina of Time 3D? The game looks gorgeous, especially compared to the original, which hasn't aged incredibly well. I'd expect this to look just as polished.

I agree, although there are a few N64 games that I wouldn't mind seeing remade. I've played Super Mario 64 so many times in all of its existing incarnations that to see it totally remade with modern graphics would be a neat little trip. But on the whole, I agree that there aren't really any Nintendo games that I feel n…

I know that the Marvel side of this has a few Power Discs that act as alternate looks for some of the figures. Here's hoping they'll put out one that makes Maleficent look more like her original animated incarnation.

Zero Fs were given?

I'd think the opposite: if this does well, I'd expect we will see more Luigi's Mansion games. Hell, I'd say the fact that they're even doing this one shows that they know there's interest. I'd also expect to see this on a Nintendo console someday, assuming it doesn't suck (or, given Luigi's ghost-hunting weapon of…

It's a shame this poor lady's birthday was ruined by the actions of her son. He should be ashamed of the way he acted on her birthday.

This is still my absolute favorite gif on the Internet.

I'm assuming, as it gets closer to "Spring 2015," we'll find out that he'll actually only be exclusive to people who bought both versions for a limited time, or that he'll be available for purchase to other people or whatnot.

By that reasoning, he's also the most worthwhile DLC ever, because depending on whichever version you start with, he also comes with an extra $40-60 worth of game content.

That game would be... reticulous.

I know they don't have all the PS1 games on PSN, but why don't the have the same amount across all systems? Like, why wouldn't all the games that are available on PSN be available on every system that can access PSN?

Wait, so are not all PS1 games available through PSN on the PSTV? Why is that?

It's nice that you think so, but you're doing everything in your power not to answer my question. If I have no interest in playing Playstation 3 games, why would I consider buying an appliance that's more than twice as expensive as this?

If I could afford a PS3, I wouldn't be thinking about getting a PSTV. That's basically what I'm asking: is this worth it as a low-cost alternative to one of Sony's "actual" consoles, considering that all I really care about playing are PS1 games?

So like, I'm a guy who hasn't owned a Sony Console since PS2. What could this do for me? If, conceivable, I wanted to get this for the sole purpose of playing old PS1 games, and maybe a PSP game or two for the helluvit, would that be feasible/worth it?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who jumped to this thought. Anakin was already dubbed Darth Vader by the time he fought Obi-Wan.

In theory, but as Konata said most people who played those characters didn't play equally as all the transformations. I love playing as Sheik, but I couldn't play as Zelda to save my life, so what is technically almost two characters' worth of moves is really just one character that's missing an attack for me. The…
