I recently picked up Giants for super cheap. I don't know much about the series, I was pretty surprised at how fun it is. Question time though: Do they all use the same portal?
All of the recent sonic games have been good, and these look wonderful. I'll be getting the Wii U game for sure. Though between these and Smash and Amiibo, my poor wallet!
How is the PS4 selling so well? What are people playing on it? I mean, I intend to get one someday, when a Ratchet and Clank game is out, but right now? Nothing.
@DakotaM47 Dont get a backwards compatible ps3. they are AWEFUL. hardware is prone to the same issues the original 360 had (red ring style). Go with a ps3 slim and a ps2, it may be cheaper too.
I'd actually be cool if the 3DS remained the standard till 2017, though by 2018 I may have worn the battery down to a nub :3 (good riddance EA, though I DID like the mysims games...)
"LGBT" seems like the odd one out among the easy cash grabs listed. Additionally, what IP's does Atari own? When I think Atari I think Pong and Centipede and Space Invaders, but I don't think they own any of them...

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U May be Best as One of Two Consoles, Just Like Wii
Own a Wii U, love it. Planning to get a PS4 as soon as it has some games I'd want to play.

URBAN CHAMPION.
I'm just going to leave this here.

Well, time to upgrade my wii eshop copy!
Re: Feature: Ten Must Play Titles on the Game Boy
Red and Blue sadly don't hold up that well. Now I would recommend Gold and Silver, which are ALSO Original Gameboy games!

Re: Nintendo Goes Download-Only With The 2014 Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
Actually those gold rewards are BETTER than previously. "Oh boy a calendar!"
Re: Nintendo Goes Download-Only With The 2014 Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
Maybe add the retail prices for the games listed. Only 2 of them are around the $30 mark, a few at the $15 mark, and the rest... ugh...

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Explains His Belief That the Video Game Industry's "Creativity is Still Immature"
Gotta say, GTA 3 WAS pretty revolutionary. Open world sandbox games before that were almost nonexistent outside of the RPG genre.

Re: Atari's "Corporate Comeback Strategy" Includes Games, Gambling, and Wearable Devices
@DiscoGentleman @danielflugt My thought's exactly. Atari is going to have a PR disaster on its hands if it doesn't handle this correctly.

Re: Guide: Everything Nintendo Fans Need to Follow at E3 2014
Nintendo is the one I'm most excited for, but Sony and Ubisoft should be good. EA and Microsoft... I'll look up the good stuff later most likely.

Re: Hyrule Warriors Is The Zelda Game That Eiji Aonuma Could Never Make Himself

Re: Nintendo Overcomes Patent Dispute With Non-Practicing Entity
Oh, I know phillips has a case, and is a decent company. I was more referring to the other trolls.
Re: Nintendo Overcomes Patent Dispute With Non-Practicing Entity

Re: Nintendo Brand Manager Hopes Mario Kart 8 Will Serve as a "Catalyst" for Wii U

Re: Ubisoft Makes Little Mention of Nintendo in Plans for Financial Year, Sales Show Why
@Andremario Assassins Creed IV is fantastic, and fits wonderfully as an open world adventure on a system that lacks them.
Re: Satoru Iwata Announces 'Nintendo Figurine Platform' to Utilise NFC for Wii U and 3DS
@allav866 Adding? Nintendo's going to START with Urban Champion and characters from Tennis and Hockey, then not give anything else for 3 months.
Re: Nintendo Quashes Rumours Of New Hardware At E3 2014
