We are back to 3 releases!
Does anyone remember the times when we got 3 VC releases per week?

@Capt_N
You are missing my point. I am saying that Toad's abilities in SMB2USA do not fit Toad's character, so, if there was going to be another SMB2USA-based game, Toad should be replaced with another character whose super strength would actually make sense (for example, Bowser or Wario).

"[T]his could be a substantial warmup for the arrival of Pokémon Black & White 2. "
Jes; I had been thinking just that myself, even though that would be a United States release being a warmup for a Nipponese release, so, in reality, the warmup would best affect importers/pirates.

P.S. I find the Rhyperior the more interesting part of the picture here.

I would rather have Bowser (or a totally different character) replace Toad this time around, since Toad having super-strength does not make sense here.

Pardon any apparent arrogance, but I feel relieved that I got a PS3 this month.

I hope I can play the challenges later on; I plan on aiting for the 3DS2...
(...armoured beast with a sword!)

Given how the 3DS is supposedly still selling at a loss and the "danger" of the PSV, I believe that this is intentional. (Then again, I also think that all of this is a coincidence; a lot of Mario titles just happened to be released close to each other.)

...MANZAI BIRDS!!

I got Sonic Classic Collection, Sonic Gems Collection, and Sonic Adventure DX, so I am set for pretty much every retro Sonic release. Even so, I support pretty much every Sonic re-release, especially since the games I have are on the getting-soon-to-be-retro GameCube.

I still refuse game that require you to actually kill (instead of just knock-out or "disappear" enemies). However, ever since I played that "Hunt Tomatoes" quest (in Final Fantasy Tactics A2) while eating burgers, I allow "purposeful hunting" games. This game is permitted.

"The notion that the most powerful system is automatically the best is a thing of the past."
The problem is that a lot of people, apparently, are still in the past.

I have ended up missing the Sonic vs. Mario debate until Pokémon Colloseum (my first full introduction into games in general), yet even I find this odd!

(I only watched some of the Sonic cartoon series and barely knew who Knuckles was. I, however, played Super Mario Land 2 and some Super Smash Bros, but that was it.)

Nintendoo did purposefully restrict the capabilities of the Nintendoo Café (Yes; I am calling Wii U by its prototype name). Some people speculated that this is a move in order for the Café to "catch up" to its competitors later on.

I now care little for PokeNobu; I want the Sealed Room with a Girl game...
...even though I am a prude!

...more RPGs! WOOOOOO!

Kehhei!
...this would go even worse, since the high Sonic fans would blast Sega for getting rid of all the good Sonic games.

(The high Sonic fans are those who insist that the Genesis games are the only true games, yet are responsible for hating on inocucous innovations, which include the mine cart and the Homing Attack.
The low Sonic fans are those at the other range, for example, those who make obvious Sonic re-colours that are supposedly faster than Sonic without an EXtreme Gear.)

I still remember when there was a panic when we were down to 2 games per week here.
Now we are actually LOSING games??

I am more incensed about the dropping itself than the games that are getting dropped.

I am going to stay indoors, then.

I actually feel excited over this. I mean, quite a few people were complaining about there not being any true and honest sequels towards the games, so this is surprising.
On the subject on this being for the DS, I think they are riding on the momentum on the DS, especially considering that the 3DS is weak now. Even if I am wrong, I think that this at least confirms that the 5th Generation is DS-only.

P.S. While everyone is expressing disgust about Pokémon Black/White...
...why is Puerto Rico STILL not part of the GTS?
More importantly, why is there no Light type yet? I mean, unless the curveball was deliberate (considering that Zekrom is not part Dark), they missed a fabulous opportunity to introduce the Light type, considering the ying-yang theme of the games.

This is going to get me a lot of hate, but I wonder if the refusal to develop Rockman Legends 3 was especially due to all the fan-following, Capcom not wanting to make the game equivalent of Snakes on a Plane (which also got a mess of Internet input but flopped). Even if this was not the case, games fans tend to be dissatisified with everything, so I doubt Capcom has any willingness to bother.

This would be a big "maybe," since I am waiting for the 3DS revision.

The US already gets a lot of stuff that Euralia does not, so do not fret the reverse happening to you.

Uh... why "fire" is in Kanji but "ice" in Katakana?

You know that this game shall be released on Epiphany, right?

Was there not a child named Link and another Ganon, both which are actally friends?

This game was the first game I ever got (along the Virgin version of The Lion King).

I do not have much to say on the redesign other than disappointment (the comments making me like this even less).

I echo the "motion bonus option," though accc-san had me think that this would be a hidden "Motion Plus" feature.

I am going for the totally new way.

To be serious, I have been getting the same mentality that Mr. Tretton is getting. I mean, just because you can and because you like does not mean that you should. Besides, what do numbers prove? They can mean that all we got is tons of immature adults (myself included) who do not know how to pursue more adult entertainment that does not involve making your parents cry.

@1: I... suppose, hey!

...a rhinoceros in a tuxedo??? /another nosebleed/
(I have been getting quite the nosebleeds in a month...)

Insert trolling jokes related to Trollboarder here.

...Solatorobo AND The Last Story???
/nosebleed/

I always had a soft spot for the general furry ideology (though about half a decade ago I did not really know that furry != porn, though I stumbled upon a clean furry page a few years prior that), so this is an instant get.

Bigger file size is not that necessary in 3DS, considering that handhelds tend to be "smaller" than consoles.

I was not that interested in Pictochat, anyways...

/another nosebleed/
You told us to wait for the sequel of King of Monsters, and so I did!

/nosebleed/
...this adds hope to a lot of Virtual Console titles...
Then again, I wonder if this was a given due to Final Fantasy being released...

...never mind. I forgot to read more closely again.

/nosebleed/
We get TWO Survivors??
Considering that Survivor 2 is almost complete and that Overclocked is for the 3DS, I suspect that this will be for the DS.

I was more thinking on the recent disasters that hit Nippon, but I may be mistaken.

On the topic itself, the analogue stick truly IS analogue! The two cross-pads remind me of the Virtual Boy (even though they are just the cross-pad and the button-cross.)

I only care about Bust-a-Move and Dinosaurs 3DS.

Portista-san has a point. Even if I was not a prude, such words seem out of place with hardware.

I sense a dissonance. I mean, this VC release reminds me of Zelda II, though the latter is not deemed that highly.

Then again, this IS a VC release, which automatically makes this a international treasure. /semi-satirical, semi-realist/

...but the idea of chasing delivering vans is fun!
...though I like smoking jackets (even though I hate smoking)...

That blog link committed suicide.

Me, this was probably imminent, considering that Hudson was no longer a console company. (Then again, that logic dictates SEGA a candidate for disbandment.)

I wonder if Konami/Hudson Nippon would take their abandoned projects...

I do not really believe about the "absolutely necessary" condition; F-Zero's car flashes differently when crashing against an edge. As such, this is only slightly less surprising to me.

"Shin Megami Tensei: if... "
If if... comes there...
...and just in time for the re-release of Persona 2!
