So for instance in FF7, he designed the materia system and then built the story around it. Makes perfect sense, I can’t really see it happening the other way around.
As much as I hate Apple, ignoring the threat it is would be foolish. Obviously, Reggie is just taking this stance for the media. The iPhone/Pod/Pad might have a huge list of shovelware, the appstore is really miles ahead from the DSiware store it terms of usability and quantity/quality of games.
@Damo Hedgehogs are placental mammals (like you and me) as opposed to marsupial mammals like kangaroos or koalas. Knuckles is not a marsupial either, as echidnas are egg-laying mammals.
The main problem with DSiWare is the stupid 16MB or so limit. How are developers supposed to put out nice games with such a limit? iPod/iPhone games on the other hand have no such limit.
@Objection_Blaster: I think that the lack of info about where to go next is actually a great feature. You have to explore, make guesses, take wrong paths, and when you finally figure out where to go, it’s a great little discovery. Games nowadays either lead you step by step or are just too linear. I understand that finding dungeons in the very first Zelda was too cryptic, but ALttP is just fine to me!
I have this phone, and even though having a SNES emulator is something you might get excited about, it's not all that great for three reasons: 1-Sounds are not emulated very well. Depends on the game though 2-The screen is just too small to really enjoy it. 3-Controlling games with a tiny plastic keyboard is horrible. Platformers are a pain to play. RPG are usually less problematic, as they don't require to hit Y and B at the same time for instance.

MekkaGodzilla commented on Shigeru Miyamoto is Certainly Not Short on Coins:
I think Miyamoto and Iwata are definitely underpaid. Do we have similar figures for top managers of Activision-Blizzard and EA?

@grenworthshero: You assume right, for instance, the New World Symphony part is the 4th movement.

SMG1 is the best game this gen, can’t wait for the sequel. The game designers behind this are freaking geniuses.

Is there any connection with Advance Wars? Looks really related.

@Ben546: they’re basically the same. Some Pokémons will be missing from Silver and be in Gold, and the other way around.

This game is my favorite JRPG. A DS port of this and / or Mother 3 would make my day.
