@6 RedLink: "in tow"...it's a phrase in the English language.
a. in the state of being towed. b. under one's guidance; in one's charge. c. as a follower, admirer, or companion: 'a professor who always had a graduate student in tow'.
In this case, SUPERMAN is "in tow". That's what they meant.
There's one 3DS peripheral that I haven't seen yet. It's the little dog/cat vest that allows you to put attach your 3DS "pedometer" to your pet. The little vest would also protect the 3DS from being damaged while giving its owner TONS of "game coins" or in-game rewards.
They end the series with this? Why? Did the "new idea guy" quit so they decided to just re-do an earlier game? This is not "coming full circle" or whatever spin they'll try to put on it. Very disappointing.

These videos tell you nothing. I knew little about Okami before and I still only know that it's about a dog or a wolf or something running around Japan. Okamiden changes it up by making the gameplay video really tiny and only using one of the two screens.
"GoldenEye's Success 'Proves Core Games Sell on Wii'" <sarcasm> Yes, and it has nothing to do with its name or perceived nostalgia. </sarcasm> Get real.
I personally really dug the Prime series of games. Other M was just so much different...control-wise. Flipping the controller around was an interesting idea (loved it in "Paper Mario"), but was too slow for some of the fights here. I tired of being hit by enemies because the game couldn't keep up with me or didn't give me enough time to move the controller and quickly aim. Personal opinion.
UFOURIA is surprisingly cool. (and extremely odd when you stop to think about what's really happening)
For instance - I can't over the fact that (at points) I'm playing as a ghost with sunglasses. His special attack features him pulling his sunglasses down at which point his EYES fly out their sockets, float around the screen killing every enemy, and then float back to his eye sockets at which points he puts his sunglasses back up.
I thought I was going to pass on this "simple NES Metroid clone", but this is easy and (when you really think about it) friggin' weird! I love it. I'm so glad this is on the Virtual Console.
