I've played every Metroid game, save for Other M, from start to finish, and Fusion is hands down my favorite game in the franchise, along with probably my favorite game in the last fifteen or so years. I know a lot of people hold Super Metroid as a sort of gold standard, but Fusion has aged MUCH better. Control-wise,…

I feel like the GameCube adapter one should be the opposite. Newman would be the kind to insist on only playing by "competitive rules," while everyone else just wants to play for fun.

Not really? Like, they're both sort of "practical" versions of costumes, but Batgirl's not the first superheroine to have that kind of costume, and in terms of content the two hardly look alike at all.

It's no "System is Down," but it'll do.

Yeah, Mark Chapman is a very different person.

This is actually why I clicked this article. I'm disappointed as well. Maybe it's better not to invite the type of, let's say, "discussions" that such a megalist would generate on Thanksgiving of all days.

I think that's kind of a different list though. What they're going for is "the 12 best games that you can play on the Vita," and if one of those twelve games is also available on another console, that doesn't mean it's not one of the 12 best games on the Vita. If the majority of the games on a given list are…

I don't think anyone dares to dream that big. I'd love a new Chrono game (assuming it came out on a Nintendo console), but I don't think it's likely and I don't want to get my hopes up.

Other regions have Club Nintendo as well.

You dislike DLC, but you want Nintendo to release a Game of the Year edition of Smash Bros.? What do you think would be in the Game of the Year edition?

I mean, as far as we knew he was dead, though. He chopped himself in half, then got blown up when Namek went boom, and we didn't see him for a while. A character doesn't have to literally die and be reborn to "return."

As a consumer of video games, we don't "have" to do anything. We're free to decide to play, or not play, whichever games we want. However, as a consumer looking for a satisfying gameplay experience in the modern market, you will find yourself more often than not forced to pay for DLC, if you want to experience a game…

I mean, at face value, I think embargoes are usually for the purpose of keeping certain pre-release info from being spoiled until after release. This one, however, strikes me more as Ubi trying to stifle negative press until after a large portion of their consumer base has already purchased the game, and that is bad.

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?
