That's the first I have heard of it, but I'm not sure. I plan on playing the series when I get a Vita, so that news would make me regret selling my PSP last year. If I hear anything I'll post it in #speakup.

I'll keep that in mind (about the load times). Not sure if it's the same where you live, but Japan has Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 for the PSP available on the PSN, so I'm looking forward to finally give those a chance.

I'm curious on the technical similarities between the GCE Vectrex's joystick and Nintendos. Were they quite similar?

I want it mainly to play PSP/PSone games (won't buy until the PSone thing is possible), and then for mainly PS2 ports. And usually for 90 minute (one way) train rides into the city, so if it's a game like FFX or MGS2, I think I could put up with the load times (or more likely constantly just put it to sleep in the…

Just curious about something...

The games or the system/hardware itself?

I'm not sure if you're joking, but several other systems have had joysticks before (perhaps even SNES and GEN), but the 64 was the first one to have a joystick on a controller as we know them, which is the idea that Sony copied and improved upon (a common theme in Nintendo/Sony's relationship if you ask me).

I'm with you on the 64, but the Gamecube had some really really good games. Likewise with the PSP. I'd go as far to say that the PSP is the most underrated system there is.

I got a soft spot for Nintendo and their way of doing business. I hate it when the business 101 mentality takes over an industry, and am glad to see Nintendo stick up to it. I love then for their successes as much as I do for their failures (although I don't buy the failures).

I loved the first one and played it for tens of hours.

Loving it. Shame NTV didn't subtitle it.

Hey, I forgot I taped this last night.

Why are you so condescending? Usually it's a tactics of the right, not left? It reminds me of hearing about 60's "Marxist" meetings where college folks would berate the factory workers for not getting what praxis meant. Ironic stuff.

Wow, sounds like you know what you're talking about.

Well, your words say you were comparing the First World upper middle class with the third world poor.

I'm pretty sure China's economy today is similar to the developmental state Japan had of the 60's (a model for rapid growth). In that case, China (like Japan) wants the West to be as consumerist as possible to they can export goods to the West. The West stops being consumer whores, the Chinese economy collapses.

Are you seriously comparing people that make $100,000 a year to the poor in the third-world?

I forget what the national average is, but that sounds like it would way below it, as opposed to slightly below it.

I think that China should be held to a standard above that of the industrial revolutions in the 18th and 19th centuries, as it is a completely different time. They just shouldn't be considered a first world country. If we want to talk about workers rights, or the rights of the poor, comparing the conditions to other…

I would love to hear your rational for that opinion.
