@Ryno Yes. Especially in the case of linear, story driven games, an LP will most definately drive off sales. Because why bother paying for the game when I can just watch it like a movie?

I fully understand Best Buy's position on this. A customer who brings in something, anything, to be recycled, expects it to be destroyed and made into something new in a manner that would not jeprodize their personal information on, say, a laptop. While this is a bit different (since I highly doubt an R.O.B would have your visa number), no doubt it's company policy to protect consumers.

Uh, actually, the Wii version was rather fun. It had issues, yes, but it was a unique experience. The 3DS version was garbage, mind you. Currently they're trying to get a re-release of the Wii game onto Steam via Greenlight, with funds from that game possibly going to fund this sequel (which they REALLY have wanted to do for quite a while, heck, they've mentioned it as a possibility during the greenlight campaign).

Goddammit, this makes... the third time I'll be picking up this game? Grabbed the Augmented Edition for the 360, the PC version along with the first two Deus Ex titles for cheap, and later the Missing Link DLC. Square Enix, please stop. My wallet can't take it.

Man, if only I wasn't stuck with a 3DS for this game. Maybe they'll release an update to allow the 3DS version to go online without the Wii U? Probably wishful thinking.

More games on Wii U is a plus, even if it isn't for me. Makes me wish Conduit 2 hadn't bombed so badly that it killed The Grinder.

Man, this really would be a great addition to Wii U. I already own it on PC, and while it certainly has a few issues (poor AI and lame voice acting), it's definitely exhilarating once it finds it's stride. Dive-bombing a cruiser lobbing rockets, switching out into Strike Mode (the 'mech' you see in the video) and strafing along it's broadside clearing off turrets, then finally flicking back into Pursuit Mode to make a rapid escape is unforgettable.

A friend of mine got it a few days early from EBGames. I'm still waiting on my copy to show up in the mail, though it should be coming in soon.

Just a reminder/confirmation that the update to Ice Climber adds multiplayer via download play, so you can play with friends with only one copy of the game. Hopefully this means we'll be seeing the addition of two-player for Balloon Fight, as well as the Game Boy VC titles (Like Fortified Zone and Radar Mission).

Excited for this one.

Throwing in another recommendation for Shadow Wars. It's a very good strategy title.

Now if only we'd get Ys: Forest Ocean In Celceta on the 3DS I'd have no reason to covet a Vita.

Waitaminute... At 4:23, that's Zephyr and Leanne!? Holy crap! I never thought those two would make it in. WHY MUST EVERY COMPANY WANT MY MONEY!?

Oh my god. After Capcom confirmed that they weren't localizing E.X. Troopers I was concerned this one also wouldn't make it over. Unfortunately, depsite how excited I am for this game, I don't have the money for it so I'll probably save what I have for Bravely Default and Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney.

Di-no-way I'm buying this hunk of trash.

I'd love to see it appear on Wii U.

And this is exactly why the Wii U needed to have support for multiple Gamepads at once. For stuff like Pac-Man Vs.

This is probably a bad place to put this, but Scientifically Proven Games is trying to get the much-better Wii version of this game available in an enhanced form on Steam via Greenlight. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92991377

No! Don't even TALK about Tails Doll. Let that cursed figure die out in obscurity.

Probably the single best video game movie currently out. Yes, even better than Ace Attorney, though that one's a close second.

Liberation Maiden for me! Just roared through it, and I was not at all dissapointed. Except maybe the fact that it ended at the worst possible point. Oh well, I'm sure I'm going to be getting way more than my $8 worth out of it given how immensely replayable it's proven itself so far. Hokkaido, prepare for purification!

Just give me Riviera: The Promised Land and Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone (especially YU since my cart's finally starting to kick the bucket. Played the hell out of that one). There's a few other lesser-known titles I'd enjoy seeing, like Dark Arena and Megaman & Bass.

@Chrno-x Unfortunately, it's not the high-speed future racing game we'd all like, instead it's a probably lousy take on the TV show 'Wipeout' where people get balls thrown at them. Trust me, I'd like nothing more than to have Wip3ouT on Wii U, but there's pretty much no hope of that.

I'm sorry, when my current time sink is a port of an iOS game to PC, I think I can safely say that real gaming exists on iOS. The game is a spiritual successor to Freelancer, essentially a starfighter simulator. Already sank over 20 hours into the iOS version, and sunk another 12 hours into the full HD PC version a few days after I got it. Galaxy on Fire 2 consumes my life.

I stopped giving a crap about the eShop when I realized my local store still stocks a ton of old DS titles. Playing through MechAssault: Phantom War, Radiant Historia (FANTASTIC game, that), and SMT: Devil Survivor.

That's actually quite a good score for a hunting game. Neat.

Will probably pick up VectorRacing, but since The Last Story just shipped, I'm holding off on anything else.

Yeah, can't believe I forgot about Fragile Dreams. Beautiful soundtrack there. The Last Story also has a fantastic score.

Baroque. Damn serious.

I'll download the update, but I still couldn't give a wet fart about Swapnote.

I noticed a mistake. They refer to the Virtual Boy as a handheld.

I'd pick up the Gunslinger Pack on Wii instead of this one. Mad Dog McCree as well as it's two sequels, and spot-on reproduction of light-gun gameplay. Say what you will about Laserdisc/Interactive Movies, but they have a very special role in the development of gaming as we know it today.

Nothing for me this week, though McCree is tempting (Shut up, I have a soft spot for FMV games) and I'd grab X2 if I had a Wii on me. Still waiting on the DKJR update, not like I'll bother much with it anyway though.

Hmmm.... is that partners who accompany you I see?

-Prays for co-op-

Bah, I much prefer AlphaBounce (DSiWare) to this one. More stages, more options, more everything. Maybe it's an unfair comparison, but hey.

You know what I'D love to see? Some of the creative power ups and mechanics from the 3D games (64/Sunshine/Galaxy) brought into the 2D plane! FLUDD with swappable nozzles? The ice flower? The metal box? Make the game EARN that 'new' moniker by blending classic stuff with more recent techniques!

Here in Canada, I found like 6 used copies of Tom Clancy's EndWar on the DS going for $2 at an EBGames. It's a generic strategy game, but it's functional enough, and for two dollars it's definitely worth a purchase.

Not hugely surprising. I figured it's launch late in the DS' lifespan plus a large book requiring translation and printing would sink our hopes of seeing this game in America.

Shovelware ahoy!

On the note of DS games being ported to iOS, go play Phoenix Wright on the system. It works bu it's nowhere near as elegant. I can't even fathom how hard it is to play Ghost Trick (only in Japan ATM) on an iPhone.

Have fun with this, Europe. We'll surely be getting it about 6-9 months from now. -sigh-

Has Australia even seen ANY Nobunaga's Ambition games released? Pokemon Conquest is more generic-sounding, to be sure, but I dunno. Seems like a gamble they're taking. Mark my words, Pokemon will be in much bigger type than Nobunaga's Ambition.

Every detail makes me want this even more.

Dammnit, ANOTHER game I'll need to buy come June. Heroes of Ruin, Rhythm Thief, and now Pokemon Conquest? Gah, guess I better start saving, then.

Oh, FFS. AGAIN? Seriously, these repeated delays of this game are getting annoying.

Still not as awesome as that Chinese port of Final Fantasy VII to the Famicom.

My gut instinct's saying 8-8.5 from IGN, and from me.

The anime was terrible. Thanatos has a blog for crying out loud. Production I.G have done so much better. Really disappointing.

I own this game in the vain hope that it will one day be a collector's item.
