Yay so another game from the genius Daisuke Amaya

Wow, it's only two bucks? That would explain it. Happy for the dev, though.

@DePapier I would hope so, as the PS3 was twice as expensive at launch.

That sounds terrible.

I'd play that.

The battle animations finally look like they're from the 21st century, so yeah, this looks good.

Silver Surfer plz

Reminds me of Shaun the Sheep for DS. Amazing for fans of the show, mediocre for anyone else.

You already know what it is.

@MagicEmperor That probably says something.

That was me. You're welcome for that.

Although I didn't vote (partially out of laziness and partially because the only game I cared to vote for, Little Inferno, I didn't play it on Wii U), I'm really proud of the community for making Little Inferno its Wii U eShop Download of 2012. A deserving GotY if there ever was one.

@Swiket Oh but something did.

I beat Little Inferno last night, and have decided it should be required playing for anyone who considers him or herself a gamer. So yeah, I'd add it to the list.

@Knuckles That was actually a sarcastic compliment. I'm starting to think I should put smileys at the end of all of my posts, so people know not to take them seriously.

I <3 Toad.

@Hokori I do agree that electronic devices like the iPad probably aren't good for the development of children and may negatively impact their attention spans. But saying that you blame iPads for people's laziness was asking for a snarky response, ha ha.

Dang, I guess my iPad is the source of all my problems. I should probably burn it.

Thank you for getting the capitalization right.

You need to get less obvious with your tag lines, Phil. I could tell you wrote this review just by reading it.

Also, I laughed out loud twice while reading this: "It's an awful, awful game, and we're pretty sure we spent more time writing about it than the developers did making it. It'd be a lot cheaper and exactly as much fun to tap the touch screen with your system off."

"Even so, you have to ask yourself if it's not a better idea to simply pick up a Mark 1 Wii on the cheap - with over 100 million systems out in the wild, it's not as if they're expensive or hard to come by these days."

Exactly why no one should buy this, not even low-income families.

Now that I'm a huge Parks and Rec fan, I can't look at the studio's name without thinking of Pawnee.

@a_binfahad I NO RITE!!!!!!1

This pun has my approval, for obvious reasons.

@moomoo But why limit to just that when it would be extremely easy to make it so much more? Maybe you or Waltz could explain this to me?

@LZBirdboi I think (hope) he's joking.

Thing is, at least Gamecube can still play Gamecube games.

I would seriously pay $100 for a Gamecube over this.

I demand another $80 price cut!

My sincere apologies to you, Canada.

@Retro_on_theGo Nope. It's currently targeting Jan. 2013.

@black-kyurem One of us realize (that would be me).

There was an ad for The Piano Guys before Gangnam Style and I thought it was a Piano Guys rendition of Gangnam Style and I was like "GOOD JOB INTERNET," then I realized it wasn't and I was sad.
_{also i downloaded the app; no HD and no USB keyboard support make me a sad panda}

@JebbyDeringer That comment makes me feel angry, but instead of overreacting I will respectfully disagree with you.

@JayceJa I will respectfully disagree with you, as well.

Oh yeah and I read the interview. Gaijin has done the best job of selling me on the Wii U of anyone so far, including Nintendo.

Have to agree with Jon here. There was at least one glaring plot hole in every scene, and the ending was so ridiculously happy-go-lucky, it played out like a bad fanfic. The twist at the end also made the rest of the movie retroactively make less sense. That said, I'd still call it a "good" movie, simply for the amazing Nolan atmosphere it was able to recreate at times (the prologue/plane scene was phenomenal), and the visual majesty of many scenes in true IMAX.

/fanboyrant

YouTube app came out on WiiWare, btw.

One of my favorite writers interviews one of my favorite developers, then my long-lost favorite editor returns from the dead to defend my favorite movie trilogy? Pinch me.

HYPE MODE ENGAGED

Props to NL both for scoring this interview and asking such great questions.

Two things:
1) MIYAMOTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
2) Despite all the flaws, I bet this is still one of the best games on 3DS right now.

Here's my obligatory and vain attempt to get any sort of mileage whatsoever of that 20 second edit I did once. Enjoy.

Bbbut I thought we agreed on everything!

Super Paper Mario is still awesome though, in a different way. Anyone who says it isn't is probably wrong.

Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi are by no means the same, but they are similar series. I would recommend you start with Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door or even Super Paper Mario, and they're both great games (imo of course), but it's safe to say that if you like your Mario with story, characters, and RPG-lite elements, this isn't a bad choice.

I was hoping for a worthy successor to TTYD, and I held onto to that hope even when it was made clear the story was just about stars, toads, and stickers...

Thanks for being so honest, Jon. I still want it, but my expectations are lowered.

I voted Kirby, but remember: it's not who you vote for, but that you vote that matters.

Can't believe I waited this long to comment on this brilliant preview. One of the best things I've read on the site in a long time.

Paper Mario is going to be amazing, isn't it?

Sincere thanks to this article for linking me to a ton of info that I didn't have the slightest idea about before today. I clicked and read every link in this article and even clicked and read links from those articles; this is a truly fascinating subject. This article was well written and informative in its own right, as well! Great read.

Yes.

I think the times might be wrong.

7am Pacific / 8am Central / 10am Eastern

Should it be 7am Pacific / 9am Central / 10am Eastern?

I'm @DarkKnight, and I'm not a gamer. With my 3DS, I'm Batman.
(ad for LEGO Batman 2)

This is an example of a way Nintendo could make these ads more broadly appealing to more people just non-gamer females.

Also, am I awesome for getting all the stars in my first run-through without a guide (and without backtracking iirc), so when I got to Slightly Nonsense I already had all areas unlocked? Or were they easy and everyone did is?
