@MIDP Nintendoland's "Metroid Blast" is indeed really fun to play. I have reservations, but I want to play "Federation Force" before judging. Co-op missions sound fun!
Last night I bought the Sega Genesis/CD theme. Awesome. (Both screen images are panoramic and the G1 Sega CD is to the right of the G1 Sega Genesis.) The audio is the kicker.
Sequel DOES NOT mean "second". — Per Merriam-Webster "se·quel (noun) ˈsē-kwəl also -ˌkwel (1) a book, movie, etc., that continues a story begun in another book, movie, etc. (2) something that happens after and usually as a result of a previous event." — Sequel DOES NOT mean "second".
I loved the (SPOILER) and the (SPOILER) that you get after you (SPOILER). I spent so much time playing the game using that. WW is my favorite LoZ title.
Tales of Symphonia is/was a great game. I watched the first OVA last week and had to jump back in to the GCN game. Great great game. I don't have time anymore to "get absorbed in" RPG's, but I remember it very fondly.
SSBB is truly an impressive package. When you consider that they included all the modes, the music, the challenges, and the "masterpieces"... it's a staggering amount of content now-a-days.
Dual screen gameplay had a lot of potential years ago when Sega did it with the Dreamcast & VMU. Too bad the public didn't support the Dreamcast. (Considering the SegaCD, 32X, and Saturn...can you really blame them?)
The removal of "wiimote & nunchuk" controls killed any chance that I'd buy this bland Bond game. GoldenEye Wii was a lot of fun. (I even liked the Conduit series, although not nearly as much.) Seeing as this was made by the same people that did GoldenEye Wii, removal of the "wiimote & nunchuk" controls makes zero sense.
"...– it’s the first of the numbered titles that hasn’t made its debut in the arcade (not including the spin-offs such as Metal Slug Advance on the GBA..."
What exactly is the numerical equivalent of 'Advance'?
@6 RedLink: "in tow"...it's a phrase in the English language.
a. in the state of being towed. b. under one's guidance; in one's charge. c. as a follower, admirer, or companion: 'a professor who always had a graduate student in tow'.
In this case, SUPERMAN is "in tow". That's what they meant.
There's one 3DS peripheral that I haven't seen yet. It's the little dog/cat vest that allows you to put attach your 3DS "pedometer" to your pet. The little vest would also protect the 3DS from being damaged while giving its owner TONS of "game coins" or in-game rewards.

Re: Guide: Getting Started With Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U
Wow, "Xenoblade Chronicles X" sounds really complicated. I used to have tons of time for RPG's, but lately it's all work and sleep, work and sleep.

The Dreamcast was a heck of a console. I loved it. It got almost no support, but man, it was good.

Re: There's a Myst Descending on 3DS Next Year
