If you are buying an iPad, its more than likely you are not buying it to play a video game. If your buying a DS, its more than likely you are buying to play a videogame. Sure, you CAN play games with an iPad, but its not the reason you buy it. In the other hand, you buy a DS when you want to play games, but you CAN still go on the internet and listen to music. They are not direct competition atm. Nothing to worry about yet.
Nintendo should make their OS more pick-up-and-play friendly, though. Everything from internet, music, and shopping for DSiWare feels clunky and slow in the DSi. When they can make it very easy to just quickly access anything simply and quickly, they will have a superior product. I use my iPod much more, (not for gaming necessarily) because its quicker and its easier to access.
I love how the review is basically the author saying the game is perfect in elegant writing. There really werent any flaws mentioned in the review. But he could at least have given you more info instead of spicing it up with fancy wordplay.
Yay! thanks a lot for awarding me with this wonderful award. Id like to thank the academy for not having anything to do with me, id like to thank NL for providing me with the news of this event, and of course id like to thank ghostfire games. Thank you all very much! me bows down
BTW I have added the number you sent me on twitter
If there were to be a massive terrorist attack spreading around where you live, what would be your survival plan, and would it relate to video games in any way?
@Shugo, not adding something to a game doesnt make a game lazy, just acurate. This IS a port, not a remake. It works fine and fluid, and it gives just as good of an experience. That akes a port adequate. Its like saying that they should have added online leaderboards to Mario Bros. on the VC. Its a direct port, so they didnt mess with the game, just like with Phoenix Wright.
@Sean, correct me if wrong, but isnt that what a port is? An exact replica to how the game would have been played (on a GBP in this case) in the original replica?
Objection! This review is saying that this is a bad port, when really the only bad part is the resolution. The game itself looks ok, and plays great, ergo the lower score of the game seems due near entirely to the graphics resolution. And when a game is so good, is it worth passing up for it's not so food graphics? Especially when cheaper and much easier to find?
If this is true, than I am disappointed in Nintendo for accepting such a weak character from such a weak series into such a highly awaited and such amazing looking game. And I dont care if there were 5 good games made 20 years ago, Sonic has died and I highly doubt he will be revived.
The "HD graphics" look comletely out of place. They should have kept it 16-bit. I am still extremely skeptical. This is probably Sonic Team first step forwards, but whether it will stumble and fall with it, Im not sure. SEGA is grasping for life constantly, and as much as I dont want SEGA the image to leave, I want the current SEGA to strangle. Im still waiting for the amazing experience that they should be presenting.
Capcom seems to be putting effort into the US. Especially with the Wii support of this and TvsC. They made the Ace Attorney series sooo, I now love Capcom
This game to me is a 5 mostly because you cant quicksave in the game. Its not that fun and I can never finish a level without having an errand to do. I once left it on so I could continue, busted up my Wii's discdrive. Bleh.
Come on, give her a break. As long as shes happy and not hurting others, why there be a problem. Also, bullying someone who is physically disable? Now THAT is just plain wrong.
I never thought Id be using this quote for serious purposes. This is the legendary quote from chat applied to an actual game: "The heat of your anus intensifies the difficulty."
Im here to report that Nintendo has leaked that Zelda Wii is going to include enemies you can defeat. I also saw that there are dungeons in the game. DO I get my own news article now?
Wii Motion Plus drains more battery when plugged in. So having it always plugged in will just make the controllers battery life significantly lower. Wii remotes come with Wii Motion Plus already anyways.
Oh yes, because saying that there is better games on a PS3 makes me want to buy those games. The only game that im interested on the PS3 is katamari. And on the XBOX 360, hmmmmm. There is like 1 or 2 arcade games. So this just shows how these calculations and standings mean NOTHING. They are not going to do anything. It is just a bunch of relatively related numbers put together to make innacurate results that prove nothing, serve nothing, and are absolutely flawed. A review number doesnt make me want to buy the game. Ill read a review of a game im interested in. This is it. And its a real thriller how people actually take this as fact. Ill just go buy the games i become interested and i go beat it.(puns intended)
@Feenie, your pile seems to be perfectly calculated. You wanna know how I figured that out? The proof is in the pudding. The pudding of your wallet's doom.

Re: Just Sing! National Anthems
It will offer more challenge by making you learn 5 different languages to actually play!
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th May 2010 (Europe)
You could at least have a singing game that does not require knowing 5 different languages. But still, this game looks amazing. Im expecting a 10/10.

NO! Even better. Francizka von Karma: Ace Attorney. ANd instead of just talking and presenting to characters, you also have the option to whip them.

Re: Dimps Revealed As Sonic 4 Developer
This is the best decision following this game. With no Sonic Team, I can now look forward to this
Re: Nintendo Download 15th February 2010 (North America)
This update has brought Justice For All, but more importantly for me
Re: Developer Allegedly Has DS2 Kit
2 screens are the way to go, but I'm not going for multi touch. It's slower and less precise, which can really take a hit on some games
