DAMMIT!

Wasn't this the game where you could marry ANYBODY you wanted in the ending, be it a man or a woman?

... A multi-disc MMO? O_o

You know, they've been in business for a long, LONG time. FINALLY posting a loss is nothing to be ashamed of. At all.

I only had to calibrate the game at start-up. I wonder what you guys did wrong.

"Raimu"? Her name is Rhyme, dude.

Damn hidden-object games.

I hope those touches get finished sooner rather than later. >.< Still, it's nice to see more XBL Indie releases getting promoted to "full" release, like Dust: An Elysian Tail did.

I'd take a Triforce one. And they should introduce a Bowser one.

Eh, nothing wrong with looking for Tetris DS in bargain bins.

It's a shame they can't just publish Shining Force CD on the Wii's VC. It's not like it would be much bigger than a Neo-Geo or a Turbo CD game.

Damn, I already have both of those.

Fatal Frame for WiiU, plz.

@WaveBoy: If you like co-op platformers, World of Illusion is a blast. It's a bit less imaginative than Castle, and using the cape as a weapon is kinda lame, but it's fun watching Mickey and Donald work together.

That'd be neat if Castle (and maybe World?) were unlockables in this title, but I doubt Sega would permit such a thing.

Contra and Castlevania sprites? Color me curious, at least.

Jet.
Set.
Radio.

You have to love its shamelessness.

Alex Roivas for SSB4, plz.

The continued lack of Gargoyles in this franchise is appalling.

And the number of people affected by this — 4.

Sooo... La-Mulana soon?

I like the bullet-time pimp slap at 1:22.

Got it preordered along with Mass Effect 3.

I'd take a bundle of just the games, since I don't have 'em yet.

Buy your copy now and leave it in the wrap for when it becomes valuable or something.

@4: Not until La-Mulana finally hits the US and Europe.

I like how the video is 720p when the game, itself, can never achieve that without an emulator. ;P

Admittedly, I'm rather PO'ed that the 3DS version has so many more events than the DVD-based Wii version.

Wow, talk about a blast from the past.

Alex from Eternal Darkness for SSB4, plz.

If it hits the US, sure...

I'll admit, the article title made me think of the Game Boy Advance's e-Reader at first. I'd be appalled if they considered bringing that back.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney?

Coming out that late and it'll be on vanilla Wii? That seems to be a pretty big waste to ignore the Wii U.

It'd be nice if the episodes could lock together into one big game the same way Sonic 3 & Knuckles do.

I don't get gifts anymore. The sucky thing about growing up. ;P

God, I can't stand hidden-object games. Is there a reason that they continue to be popular? I'd rather play a text/graphic adventure like Death in the Caribbean, or Shadowgate, over one of these easily.

It was free for me this past weekend.. I can't argue with the value of that.

The overhead areas are a lot harder in general, thanks to a trio of flaws: minimal screen "real estate", weaker gun powerups, and REALLY useless grenades that have almost zero range and blast radius.

I wouldn't give it a five. Yes, it's mostly a retread of what players saw back in 2008's first entry in this series, and yes, the novelty of "OMG MARIO AND SONIC IN ONE GAME!!" has worn off, but, those being said, the controls are much less cumbersome than 2008's. The running events don't wear out your arms to maintain a high speed NEARLY as much, the fencing doesn't feel limited and difficult to strike with anymore, and the variety of Dream Events is highly welcome. London Party Mode is like a more controllable variation of Mario Party whose only real fault is that it might drag out a bit too long, but you could just use the smaller sticker counts to alleviate that.

Overall, this score is unfair IMO (I would've gone with a 7), but I can understand why people would get tired of a franchise which doesn't really evolve. It SEEMS like Sega is pouring most of their allocated development funds for M&S into the upcoming 3DS version, which is boasting over 50 events as opposed to this one's 31.

The World Ends With You still has the best "close the DS" puzzle ever. And it's not even a puzzle in the traditional sense. Duck Amuck has the 2nd best.

"What else do you think Nintendo needs to avoid to make Wii U a success from the get-go?"

Providing a lack of Eternal Darkness 2. So they need to crack the whip on Silicon Knights!

Terrrrrrraaaaaaanigmaaaaaaa... O_O;;

Dekidekideki, desu ka? "Hai."

...
...
"Gee! It sure, was, BOOORING arooound heeere!"

Can't say I enjoyed that demo at all. Just being thrown into puzzles like that without any kind of setup makes them feel so arbitrary, like a retread of the 7th Guest franchise.

Because just Mario Party isn't enough, darn it.

Eternal Darkness needs an honorary spot somewhere on that list.
