@MrWalkieTalkie don't you wish your body pumped out triple A games?

@dragon_rider

Theft and piracy are both taking things which do not belong to you. Playing semantics with words doesn't justify any of it.

@Pikachupwnage

I think that to a degree, having an open world game like this, issues such as frame rate or draw distance are inevitable. It's just a matter of pushing the hardware a bit too hard. Patches can't quite solve everything.

Anyhow, I'll still buy this immediately Love me some Lego City!

A new FAST is a lot more likely than F-zero... but I'm happy either way.

@Marioman64

I fully agree with you, but when a sequel doesn't fix the issues of the previous game, it deserves to be marked down accordingly.

While Factor 5 was responsible for most of the Star Wars games I loved... 1313 looked awesome. Not necessarily the gameplay, but the concept of it was just so intriguing. I really hope it doesn't get dissolved.

Oh my, April 1st already?

Looking forward to the next, it's a great series.

But not sure how the idea of a company making something that continues to sell, until it stops selling, is news.

Oh geez. A system launch is always a bit of a waiting game. It's always been that way, for every single console ever. Big rush of games, then a big pause. Developers either want to hit launch day, or they are generally a fair time after that. Often until the next holiday season, because that's when the money comes rolling in.

Buying a console on launch day and expecting anything different is just a mix of anticipation and delusion.

Debating getting this at a later date. Lego City and Most Wanted are taking priority, since I played Tri on the Wii for hundreds upon hundreds of hours. We'll see how long I can resist.

@Slapshot 3DS is actually being sold for a profit now.

I deeply regret clicking the shameless and pathetic plug.

@A-Hungry-Banker Not sure if you just don't know it, but this is made by the same company, and is part of the Nano series of shmups...

Retro pocket... I believe you mean LCD handhelds.

No they are not too expensive. First, taking into consideration inflation, games have been more expensive in the past, and I would argue that for the most part current games offer much more involving or larger experiences. They certainly take much more money to be created these days. Second, gaming as a hobby is in many cases one of the most cost efficient forms of entertainment when it comes to dollar per hour. Third, can't afford the games brand new? Wait for a sale, or skip a couple. Gaming is a luxury, after all.

Oh I hope this doesn't pull a Cave Story... how many different times can the same game be released

I think the Wii U will be great for multiple controller variations in gaming. The flaw with the classic controller was that you had to buy it separately from the system, so devs often didn't utilize it when the should've (due to the inherently smaller install base over wiimote). BUT, while the WiiU (likely) won't come with a wiimote, everybody and their grandma owns a wiimote as it is, so the system effectively has dual analog (on the game pad) and motion controls from the 'mote covered!

Actually my favourite Mario game. It was the first one I felt compelled to 100%, and even then I would come back to my complete file just to jump around and look at the scenery. This game has atmosphere oozing from it's pores.

Is anyone else getting a Commander Keen vibe from this game?

Lego City Stories is being published by Nintendo? Suddenly I waaant.
