Re: Review: Penguin Patrol (DSiWare)

I got this game just last night. It's fantastic! The penguins are cute, the art is lovely, and the music is soothing. It's the perfect game to play in the evening while you're winding down for bed.

Re: Albert Chen - Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II Aimed for "Fantasy Fulfilment"

The Rogue Squadron series are my all-time favorite Star Wars games. I've spent countless hours on the first one (why the hell isn't out on the VC yet?) and remember how completely blown away I was by the second. When kids at school picked on me for choosing the Gamecube because it was "kiddy" and supposedly had worse graphics than PS2/Xbox, I'd point to this game.

A 3DS remake would be awesome, but could the 3DS even handle it? I mean, Factor 5 pushef the Gamecube to its limits with Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike.

@OLD_SKOOL_PUNK, go take your hokey religion somewhere else, please. For one, baaaaaaw. For two, some of us actually like the prequel, so being a missionary with your anti-prequelism is kinda annoying. For three, it's completely unrelated to Rogue Squadron anyways since it has nothing to do with the prequels.

Re: Round Table: Let's Talk About Super Mario

I'm personally apalled at all the hate Mario has been getting recently. It just does not compute. Unless I pin it on it being a new fad, that Mario-hating is now the cool thing to do.

I, for one, HATE having to wait years and years for a new main Mario title, because when I beat them I thirst for more. No fuggin' way that I'd be content with having to wait for a brand new console to come out. With the Wii, my dream came true. THREE main Mario titles to keep me busy. Now that was more like it.

And now, I still demand more Mario. 3D Land rocked my world and New Super Mario Bros. 2 is my most highly anticipated game of the year. I've been wanting a handheld sequel to my most favorite DS title for years now. They shouldn't have waited this long if you ask me.

As for New Super Mario Bros. U, it looks amazing to me, but I'm not anticipating it merely because I won't be able to afford a Wii U any time in the foreseeable future, especially if I still can't find a job in this bad economy and horrible town (12% unemployment rate) I'm stuck in.

But I digress.

All this Mario makes me very very happy. It's a dream come true for me. So seeing all these people complain over the past several months has been a STRONG kick to my balls. To the point where I feel like distancing myself from the gaming community since it seems more and more like I'm alone in the universe with my opinion.

As for "stagnant"? Puh-leeze. I don't care what you guys say, each NSMB game may look alike (BUT IT'S A FUGGIN' SERIES. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT?), but each one has variety and are unique enough to be their own games.

As for NSMB2 and U being released so closed to each other, I submit the question: so what? One is a handheld game, while the other is a home console game. Problem?

Now, I could understand if they were on the same console. But they're not, so I don't see their release dates as a legitimate argument. The article was mostly about nostalgia, and I was apalled that you guys were saying that we should all be forced to wait 3-4 years per Mario title merely because of your anticipation and hype train nostalgia. It came off as elitist. I personally love nostalgia, but this is one of those times where someone can rightly say that you need to take the rose-shades off for a moment, long enough to wake up and smell the coffee. There is no legitimate reason to wait so long for an outstanding Mario title. Unless you bring up the innovative ones that come out once a generation, then you're just being selfish and stinking things up for those who would love to have several Mario games per console instead of waiting forever until the next console. 2D Mario games are obviously easier to make than the 3D ones, and thus can be churned out faster. I don't see any problem with that. Am I disappointed that the Wii U won't have a console-bending Mario 3D title at launch? You bet I am! However, I'm not going to take it out on New Super Mario Bros. U, which will be an outstanding game in its own right.

I personally want a Super Mario Galaxy 3, but that's a topic for another day.

Anyways, I was disappointed with this round table. If it were to have a subtitle, I'd submit: "When nostalgia can be a bad thing."

Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Will Cost £39.99 to Download

Moonhillwat

I wouldn't call getting it at Amazon much cheaper. Don't you still have to pay for shipping and handling?

Here in the US, we've known the digital download price (40.00) for some time now in the eShop. I'll be downloading it because I rather like having everything instantly accessible via the 3DS menu instead of having to switch out cartridges all the time. That, and I wouldn't mind the extra Club Nintendo points so I can download an extra game as a reward. :3

Re: Feature: Wario is Missing?

Reads article

Yeah, I'll have some cheese with that whine.

Also, not once did I think of Wario when I first saw the trailers of NSMB 2. I always try collecting as many coins as I can in Mario games anyways, so this is a dream come true for me.
