Cheating to be honest. If it's a glitch, it wasn't intentional. By doing it, depending on what it is, can give you an unprecedented advantage.
(excludes 'game-breaking glitches')

I tend to play through the game normally, though if there's an opportunity to go back and try the glitch I will check it out for fun.

Cheat codes on the other hand should be done for fun, or if you don't really care about challenging yourself.
I used to do cheat codes all the time, sometimes they feel necessary for some old school games, but I did it just to have fun when they were so abundant back in the previous generations.

@48

Source?

'Ruinscape'? ugh...

This game looks interesting though! Always love these kind of games. (except runescape)

Congratulation winners!

Enjoy your gifts

He's gonna make it in flash so it should be here soon, it's just a bluff.

@wwww

Very good observation! Very well could be.

Watch this be the only title for many more months

Ice prophecy .Hopefully there will be plenty of snow.
We didn't get snow this year and I am angry...only reason.

Yes i'm serious.

Such a terrible idea not to include up-scaling IMO....

But there are reasons of course.

Club Nintendo I now officially love you.

I will probably pick up Kirby and Majora's Mask!
Maybe just kirby....

Eh...nothing really surprising. This was to be expected right? We all knew it was gonna be an entertainment hub....

Waiting for more surprising news and most importantly, details..

@8 and it saddens me because I think I mentioned I wanted the same up-scaling on some thread and was shot down saying they already said it wasn't going to happen. Which is a pity....I hope they reconsider...

Report: Dual Shock 4 controller! Now with a touchscreen!

But in all cerealness, i'm really looking forward to this years E3, should be exciting for the big 3.

Pirating the Mario game just makes me sad inside....

Also pirating Xenoblade....of course angry fans, with no sign of the game coming to shores, have downloaded the game en-mass under frustration.
Now that the tabled have tipped in our favor it would be a good idea to support that game with our own dead presidents and show us we want more of these types of games through sales numbers.

@17:
This is probably one of the top things i'm worried about.

@28 totally agree...it's what makes others so fun to check back and browse. Steam has this down to a science. Playstation has the right idea...but they could use some more work.

It would be excited for Wii-U to follow the same path.

Skyward Sword

But it's GREAT so far!

Can get this on steam for...$1.24 (though temporarily, regular price is $4.99)
xDDDDDDD

But hey if the 3D effect is great and there is new content worth checking out. Just....eh...maybe.

@TBD:
Thanks for that info! I was getting jealous seeing all the cool pictures, and backgrounds D:

Wow....these are pretty amazing games....
O.O
I played a few back then but owned NONE of them.

@7: LOL!!

I might skip this one but I hope they continue to keep bringing in more games consistently.

@49: Well you see there are still a ton of possibilities for the VC. Tons of games we could have and play, and I guarantee people will be willing to buy.

Tales of Symphonia takes a top spot on my personal list, if not #1 !

@James, twus what I said! You EU folk better buy Last Story too

I'm also kinda ...disgruntled by the fact that it's a Gamestop exclusive.
cringe

I personally have no problem with the backdrops....
Let's see how it looks in 3D ^.^

Didn't I read somewhere that if it did well in EU, they would release it here?
I guess popularity payed off.
Besides, with lack of games, they had to do something.

I am happy

You know I certainly hope this will be a good start. We need high quality AAA software for the system. THAT'S what it needs.

The Vita is proving to be promising in areas Nintendo wasn't when it first launched and that's why it might have the upper hand.
I still think we need more software and titles from the Eshop from Nintendo.

And for those who said they love their RPGs so they have the 3DS....have you been reading about the games in development for Vita?
Seems more promising in the RPG department especially when we might actually see more JRPGs stateside on Sony's new portable.

Time will tell though.

uhm what?
Cmon...2010...."How to train your dragon" great movie...was looking forward to see it 3D on my portable.

Well it's okay not a Netflix person anyway.

Here comes the crap storm!!!!

^. Love these articles.

Not only is Tennis a problem but the plan they had for 3D classics flopped.
It's very difficult to "redesign" these games, because that's what it feels like they are doing. Starting from scratch.

I really do hope we see more than a few games though...

Sure wouldn't

stop it...STOP IT!!!

cries

I don't know what it is about this guy's face...but....

Yeah I don't care what Nintendo says, they are just building upon their old ideas, perhaps failed ones, and looking at the competition and seeing how things could be made better.

I don't know about revolution but...evolution is a better word if you look at the whole context of things.

Oh cmon.....

It's kind of sad because Tales of Symphonia was a best seller...
well at least a player's choice game.

If the JRPG could have the same quality and audience as in the past it would be wonderful.
And it still could if only these quality games (and I do mean quality) would be consistent and see a fair quantity of releases.

But anyway it's a good thing I have a PS3

Lol good laughs in the morning....must find the previous volumes!

@38: That video summed it up perfectly TBH. This drought is really an issue...I don't care how much focus the claim is going on Wii U. The dang thing isn't even out yet and we have PLENTY of time left for the Wii.

3DS software is at least more than Wii at this point...but still not as much stuff as I would like to see.

This is BS.
Basically they are saying "Shut up...stop asking...don't set your hopes too high?...kay we done now? more mario and wii-esque titles on the horizon stay tuned! oh and ported 3rd party titles for Wii-U "

....
Please just listen to the fans. If you wanna start pleasing the hardcore, expecially RPG-starved Nintendo faithful, start NOW.

The problem is western core and japanese core are little bit different....
hmmmmmm

I'm totally in on this.
I hope this works

Bring on the epic RPGs

Please?

....

I don't believe it.

I'm still going to buy both Nintendo and Sony consoles/games.

Nothing like good old smack talk though.

Cannot wait for this. I enjoyed Epic Yarn but to have copy abilities back, and hopefully a longer game, would be perfect

@38: Totally agree this would be AMAZING!

Very honest. Thanks for this Corbie, I have been wondering what you thought of this new system for a while now.

The demo you seemed to have tried just seems like a brief display of just one of the things the controller could do with not much depth, but I heard that the other demos were much more enjoyable. Especially Battle Mii and Find Mii.

I do agree with you on reserving your judgments until we see full fledged titles that can actually show what the system can pull off, especially with the controller in its entirety.
I want to be excited for the Wii you....I still kind of am, but I want to hold off my hype until we have full details about the system, as well as launch line up and comes up and coming. Though you can't help but let your mind run wild and get excited for what could come as we get closer to 2012.

It's alot longer than I expected.
Still, not bad looking

@4 A little harsh but yeah I was about to say I think it was only the first game... :X

But hey, more people on Wii U the better in my opinion

You know he's kind of right in some ways. He doesn't set anything in stone, because we don't know the price of the system yet.
His contrasting statements to the other consoles are fair as well.

I don't think it's right to bring the hammer down on Pachter, because he's only analyzing...that's what he does. And it makes sense to me.

Sure if this was revealed a little while ago, that would be a huge difference as well...so you know really, he's not all totally wrong. It would be a more powerful system, not in the aging sense. Then again you could say the same with some of the other console launches, about them being too late, or too soon (PS3), etc.

He even likes the console so...basically it's just looking at what else would be on the market and making estimates, and putting the many "what ifs" into the equation.
It's only "too late" if the innovation doesn't come up to par with the impact the Wii had on the world. Don't forget that the Wii was behind hardware wise, but Nintendo is all about innovation. It's the business plan.

I also must be totally passing over where he says he despises the Wii U name.
Besides, at first, wasn't a good portion of speculators kind of edgy when the Wii name was first revealed?

Thank you Froguin

And in relation to the topic, I do hope the e-shop is successful, it has great potential and the current line-up is a great start, no doubt. I'm totally in for a 3D classic mario/zelda.

Time to read the Iwata Asks.

This is probably the dumbest question. But does the 3DS e-shop update on Mondays still?
