Well, the only person I have to justify a console purchase to is myself, so…
And I'm generally pretty confident that there will be more games later.

That's why I said that one of the other titles in the video would have to be included. And I'm not suggesting that just two games would be a winner either - simply that having two really strong titles at release would be excellent, and better than the WiiU's release by a mile.

I can only really justify a console purchase to myself if it has two or more games I really want. Of course, I have ended up buying every Nintendo console from the Gamecube on, so maybe I should recognize a trend and get the thing at release…

It's probably too good to be true for all the games demonstrated above to be launch titles, but Zelda alongside even one of the others would make for an incredible core of launch titles. And of course the WiiU's launch was pretty terrible in that regard.
I guess Nintendo is truly abandoning the "traditional" idea of a…

If anyone is interested in more of the "hidden secrets" such as Shadow of the Colossus's unused areas, The Cutting Room Floor Wiki is a great resource. I've spent ages on there poring over details about prototypes of games, long deleted levels, and other traces of what could have been.

Yeah, I'd love for them to bring back following Pokemon. Pokemon Amie scratches a similar itch (watching Pokemon being adorable), but I actually find a little well-written description of what my buddy is doing to be more effective. Helps that it's not a whole separate mode I need to start as well, I guess.
Since…

That's the thing even with well thought-out letter grades like yours there - they have to be explained by the reviewer, since everyone means something different with their Bs or Fs. If a review must be summed up, a sentence to summarize the verdict can work quite well, even if that sentence is "It's complicated. Read…

Wow, thanks for reminding me that was coming out! Didn't realize it's a cheapo eshop release though. I'm assuming that means it's rather short, and I'm hoping that means it may be episodic, ie this won't be the only one.

Hope you enjoy Soul Silver! Got a copy recently myself, after initially getting a crappy fake. It was one of my favourites the first time round, and I've been enjoying it this time too. I think the Gold/Silver remakes probably have the most content of any Pokemon games - there's always so much to do. Particularly when…

Mostly been playing Pokemon SoulSilver recently. Having a great time playing through again. I decided to try something different this time, so I picked up a Dratini from the Game Corner. This may have been a bad decision though, because it turns out the Dragonite line doesn't actually learn Dragon Claw naturally as I…

"The whole Double Dash deal" is Bob-Omb Blast, which sadly has never properly returned in any Mario Kart since. I will never stop going on about the manic awesomeness that is Bob-Omb Blast.

I don't usually post here but I wanted to report that the amount of racial hate crimes recorded by British police went up 41% after the Brexit vote result. It may be useless to say this after all the recent happenings, but I believe it was a view of some people that they should vote for Trump because he was "weaker"…

My Monster Hunter buddy was free again so we finally got to Rank 5! Yeah, we're quite far behind… still fun though.
Also, I now have an proper, legitimate copy of Pokemon SoulSilver, which I've very much enjoyed playing. I am just about to set up so I can RNG manipulate shiny Pokemon :p not sure how much I'll want to…

Outsourcing your opinions and friendship choices is so convenient!!

Ah, unused and hidden stuff, one of my favourite topics in games. I've spent a lot of time looking round on The Cutting Room Floor wiki and Unseen64.
Secret hunting at its best - like in Shadow of the Colossus, for example - is a bit like the video game combination of exploring, archaeology, and sci-fi. How can I get…

Well I don't know anything about the film, but that quote is great and very true. It would be an incredible thing to be able to re-experience things as though you'd never seen them before.

I'm not sure - I'm going off (unreliable) memory, but I think I've seen a review completely trash a product and still contain affiliate links. Of course, the potential is still there for someone to attempt to abuse the system.

Games always seem to go for the whole "falling in love" part, for totally understandable reasons. Not least that starting out unattached provides both the opportunity for choice and for "gameplay" in terms of, well, manipulating your "partner" to like you. And that wish-fulfillment aspect. More benignly, giving the…

I feel like taking "He was not of an age, but for all time" literally would mean "updating" would be unnecessary. Not that this is a bad idea. In fact the review has made me very much want to read this - possibly because the concept reminds me a bit of Slings and Arrows.
