The only Driver game that I've played was the original back on ps1, so I hope this 3DS one is like that one. I've heard bad things about the other iterations in that series...
As for Splinter Cell, I've only played like 30 minutes of Conviction on my cousin's 360, so I really have no expectations...
This game just keeps looking better and better; I've had my eye on it since that NP preview issue and, assuming I have the money, I'll be buying it on release day...
Regarding the argument, I'm also on the "2D platformers shouldn't be pigeonholed into WiiWare" side...
Don't let the hate/whining discourage you, Sakamoto, this was definitely an excellent Metroid game. I loved it and what it brought to the series: its storytelling elements, the voice acting and, of course, Samus's newly-learned melee attacks and dodges...
I can't wait to see what the next Metroid game brings to the table, especially given the way Fusion ended...

You obviously didn't run into the elevator glitch in Corruption. I remember having to start my file over from scratch after unknowingly saving (and said glitch happens in the Pirate Homeworld, which is almost at the end of the game >=O)...
I've already completed the game and it was a great ride, well worth the $50 I dropped on it (hell, it's worth a lot more). The story, voice acting, the action, all of them were top notch, and I give Sakamoto and Team Ninja major kudos for crafting such an awesome Metroid game. This game was so good that I'm considering naming it my favorite Metroid (for the time being, it's tied with Super Metroid)...
They should change the title of these people from "analysts" to "pulling-stuff-out-of-their-butt-ysts". In other words, I don't buy that rumor for a second...

Re: Don't Expect Any 3DS Titles From Epic Games Anytime Soon
...Who cares...? The 3DS already has plenty of third-party support, not having tools of war on it won't hurt it a bit...
It's nice to see that people still run their mouth about things they know nothing about, though...

Re: Sakamoto Wants to Know Your Metroid: Other M Thoughts
Don't let the hate/whining discourage you, Sakamoto, this was definitely an excellent Metroid game. I loved it and what it brought to the series: its storytelling elements, the voice acting and, of course, Samus's newly-learned melee attacks and dodges...

Re: Metroid 64 Was This Close to Existing
I don't mind that there was no N64 Metroid game, since—as others have already said—the Prime trilogy was well worth the wait...
Also, I don't blame the declining developer for saying no, since Super Metroid has still yet to be topped by any other game in the series...
Re: Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary Means Euro Club Nintendo Gets Updated

Re: Podcast: Episode 19 - So Long, Farewell
Excellent "final" podcast, James, I enjoyed it quite a bit (particularly the Metroid Prime main menu theme at the end )

Re: Kapow! It's the Batman: The Brave and the Bold Release Dates
I'm broke right now, so I'll have to wait a while before I can snap up a copy of the Wii version...
Also, Batmar's playing the Wii? Awesome...
Re: Interviews: WayForward - Batman: The Brave and the Bold
I doubt I'll be able to buy it on its release date, but I've definitely got my eye on the Wii version...
Great interview, by the way, Corbs...
Re: Metroid: Other M Tops Wii Sales Charts Worldwide
Number one, baby! It truly deserves that spot...
Re: Review: Metroid: Other M (Wii)
I've already completed the game and it was a great ride, well worth the $50 I dropped on it (hell, it's worth a lot more). The story, voice acting, the action, all of them were top notch, and I give Sakamoto and Team Ninja major kudos for crafting such an awesome Metroid game. This game was so good that I'm considering naming it my favorite Metroid (for the time being, it's tied with Super Metroid)...

Re: Review: Metroid: Other M (Wii)
Great review, Panda; much like the game itself, it was well worth waiting for...
I'm having a blast so far, and I do intend to squeeze as much playtime out of Other M as possible...
(As I say in every Metroid review: I would've given it a 10. )
