Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 to Kick Off Retail Downloads

It's nice that they have both options instead of just one. But I agree with grumblebuzzz, it's not like Xenoblade Chronicles where the game will only be sold at an exclusive store, but at every major retailer. I really don't picture that big of a crowd that would want to download it.

They could sideline Mario for a while, maybe even Zelda, and work on resurrecting their other franchises; Star Fox, F-Zero, Custom Robo, Donkey Kong, even Metroid needs retribution after Other M. Then in a few years they could bring back Mario.

Re: Real Life Skyward Sword Controls Don't Work

The game worked fine for me, the only problem I had was the Gust Bellows reticle kept getting out of sync with my remote, but a simple push of a button fixed it.

However, regarding all the people who complain the sword controls don't work, I KNOW they're swinging the remote like they're a freaking Jedi. The point of the game is PRECISION swings, not like this:

Re: Talking Point: Why Wii U's Image Must Grab Attention

Think about when they released the colored Game Boys (the Game Boy Pockets). That was actually intended to be a joke, but they were flying off the shelves. Multiple colors helps people think the console they're buying is more personal than those that are all the same color (like the Wii).

Re: Review: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D (3DS)

I'm so sick of people saying "why get this when you can get the HD collection? Herp-a-derpy-doo!" The 3DS version utilizes the touch screen for the map, you can crouch-walk and shoot over-the-shoulder, and did I mention IT'S PORTABLE?! Not to mention the photo camo.
