I think this game, like Captain Toad before it, will prove to have a secondary level of enjoyment from watching someone else play. Playing Captain Toad last year, I felt myself staring at the GamePad more so than the TV, but while my fiancée was playing, I was able to enjoy the game in a different way just by watching…

This doesn't quite qualify as "insane," I suppose, but I once crossed paths with John Travolta in line for It's a Small World at Walt Disney World. He was getting off the ride as I was getting on. I wish I could say it was more exciting than it actually was, but it was really more of a delayed reaction than anything.…

I mean, I'm sure Nintendo probably likes to see that their systems have this much value to people, but even if they wanted to I doubt there's really much they could do. When you start policing sales on eBay you probably get into some murky legal waters.

That seems like a lot of stuff for Best Buy to throw in that they probably don't need to. People will buy the system by itself, and a game (Majora's Mask or otherwise) by itself. They could throw in a charger I suppose, but they probably don't really even need to do that.

This actually puts a lot of Nintendo's policies and practices in perspective. As disappointing as it is that we sometimes don't get all the types of games we'd like to get, it makes sense that a company in which each member has veto power wouldn't necessarily make the choices which we'd consider great ideas, but which…

I've had the same thought. I'm assuming the new program will be some expanded form of the Digital Purchase Program. It's been obvious for a while now that they're more interested in giving out digital rewards, and is it any coincidence that both current programs end around the same time? If they took the DPP, applied…

Thanks! It's all very exciting, but I think the back half of this year is going to be really boring by comparison. I don't know if I'll necessarily mind, though.

I have a feeling they'd be less willing these days. They've just recently announced that they have plans to resurrect the Bear and Bird themselves, and while they don't technically have any competing hardware with the 3DS, they do offer remakes of the Banjo games on their own console, so the idea of letting Nintendo…

I feel your pain, friend. I was in sixth grade when Majora's Mask was first released; I'm moving into my first house next month, getting married in the summer, and celebrating my son's fifth birthday this weekend.

I agree, but I think comparing the two is a little pointless, as they're so different. The thing to note, however, is that polygon-based graphics have aged so badly because, twenty years later, we're essentially still making games the same way. While sprite-based graphics have gone by the wayside, save for novelty…

No? It's definitely not Nebula. The person in that shot is neither a cyborg, nor blue, which are pretty much the two dead giveaways of Nebula's identity.

Not sure what sort of point you're trying to make here?

You haven't been watching Agents of SHIELD, have you?

To be fair, we don't definitely know that he's going to be made of Vibranium, but the facts as you've put them do seem to line up. It seems to me that Evan was talking about Ultron in general, rather than specifically in this film, when he referred to his Adamantium composition.

With the big beard? Andy Serkis, presumably as Ulysses Klaw.

The problem is that the sprites in the original don't look that crisp in action. The limitations of old technology on old TVs made them look very fuzzy in practice. I'd love a "remake" that just sharpened up the sprites and polys. Having said that, what this guy is doing looks really nice too, but this is another…

Not only "best Mario game," it's my favorite game, period. That said, I don't know if I'd want to see a sequel. I feel like that game wrapped up pretty perfectly as it was, and any attempt to recapture that game's greatness would be very difficult without giving the feeling of simply aping the things that made it…

Newman would be the kind of guy to only play with special rules on. Invisible, light, quick Smash, anyone?

I'm imagining an episode where someone has a Smash tournament, and everyone's invited but George, because he notoriously abuses taunts.

Is anyone actually asking for the series to take a break though? I mean, it effectively has been on a break for five years now.
