I really like that Olimar shirt Bill Trinen was wearing.

It's a shame that NoA and Level-5 haven't published any of these games, I've always been interested in giving them a go.

I'm quite interested in playing IV and especially V, so this is welcome news for me.

I really want Attack of the Friday Monsters! to be good, if only because I love the premise so much.

I've been greatly anticipating this game for 5 and a half years now, so an "M" next to the title or even a digital-only release won't deter me in the slightest, but I will admit that this seems a bit of an odd decision by the ESRB at the moment.

I have yet to see anything from Dual Destinies that would indicate a significant change in mood, theme or tone from all of the previous Ace Attorney entries, but I also haven't played the game and I'm basically on media blackout until release, so for all I know, the violence could be less implied than it previously was in the series.

I was thinking of it a bit while I watched the video, but after reading Liege's story description on Steam Greenlight:

One late autumn eve in the Kingdom of Liege, a King, his queen, and their royal heirs fall into a deep slumber from which they never wake. Following their mysterious deaths, a power struggle in the royal court ensues, and as the conflict quickly escalates, the Kingdom plunges into a bloody civil war. As war erupts across the land, we track the converging paths of characters aligned across various factions, from the noble houses vying for the throne, to the orphaned Royal Army, to an underground movement of outlaws with plans to incite revolution amidst the chaos.

Liege is a story that is written for an adult audience. It’s a drama about conflicted, intertwined, and human characters, forced to wage war for their lives and their homeland.

I'm definitely getting a significant A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones vibe from this. Which is a very good thing.

I'm not gonna lie, The Legend of the Karate Elves sounds like it would be a really awesome game.

Welp, there goes my evening.

It's cute, but nothing beats North America's creepy and bizarre Pikmin 2 commercial.

Atlus is really going out of their way to make sure I don't eat this year.

I'm definitely getting the Majora's Mask soundtrack.

I hope that price drop encourages more people to give VRL a chance.

I predict that Capcom will unveil a Mega Man tissue box to inadvertently taunt all of his weeping fans... Or I would have, had it not already happened...

@NightmareXIV - Well, tarantulas and scorpions won't charge at you until you have your net out. Beyond that, catching them is really just up to your aim and timing.

They're both equally horrifying, so this checks out.

I've already spent most of my limited monthly gaming budget on Soul Hackers and downloading the NES Mega Man games, but SMT4 is at the top of my priority list for August.

This is the Guild02 I've been most interested in, by a pretty wide margin. I really hope it's good.

So I'll basically be getting $30 towards Ace Attorney 5 for something I was going to do anyway. Nice.

Oh wow, I forgot all about Europe getting Dream Team a month before North America.

Should I be in the mood for a cheap, no frills strategy game, this doesn't sound like a such a bad option.

I'll have to let my sister know about this. She can't seem to get enough of Mama.

Definitely Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This will be Club LOL's inaugural Saturday in my town and I want to be there. I'm also hoping to finish obtaining funds for the cafe.

I might download Mega Man 4 off of the 3DS eShop (after doing the same for 6, 2 and 5 over the last few weeks, and 3 back in April - don't ask me why I'm playing them all out of order, because I don't know either), but I'm more than likely going to go back to the Mega Man X Collection instead; Mega Man X2, to be more specific. I'm having a lot more trouble finding X2's sub-tanks and health & armor upgrades than I did in the first game.

I had a couple of friends that both had Game Gears, but I think this is the only game either of them had for it. I remember being quite impressed with Sonic 2's colorful visuals on GG's backlit screen, especially when compared to what the Game Boy had to offer on that front at the time.

@SBOY - Like other Nintendo items, Virtual Boys can be acquired via the right lucky ticket.

My body is ready.

I watched a longplay of Mega Man Game Gear the other day, and came away rather unimpressed. It looked more like a cheap knock off of Mega Man rather than an officially licensed game.

Though, to be honest, the only portable entry from the classic series I'm interested in playing is V.

Reggie's AC house makes my AC house look like a crazy hoarder nest.

I was completely blown away by Rogue Squadron II's visuals when it came out. Before I bought a GameCube in Spring 2002, I would walk two miles to the local Kmart (back when my town still had one of those) every other weekend just to play the in-store demo of RSII and marvel at how pretty it was.

I don't think too many people would be terribly upset if clone characters like Wolf and Ganondorf missed the cut in favor of some new blood.

Lots of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, with a little bit of Mega Man 6 sprinkled in.

Majora's Mask is my favorite game ever made and I will gladly buy a 3DS remake should one ever materialize, but I won't be particularly bummed out if we don't get it.

Even if it is a game I treasure, there are too many interesting new 3DS games on the horizon, not to mention all of the already-released 3DS games I haven't picked up yet, for me to get worked up over a potential remake (one that has never been promised to anybody) of a game I've already played a dozen times.

Unfortunately, Redd still hasn't stopped by my town yet, so while my insect, fish and fossil exhibits continue to balloon in size, my art exhibit (authentic or otherwise) remains cavernous, barren and sad.

Yeah, it's going to be pretty hard to standout after Sony just brutally murdered the Xbone in front of the entire gaming community.

As I imagine that having games like Animal Crossing and Pokemon in my 3DS at all times would be tremendously convenient, I will gladly do so, Iwata-san.

...Just as soon as soon as you start tying purchases to accounts instead of systems. And not a moment before.

Yeah, I think most people already understand and accept that the return of playable NES games in Animal Crossing is unlikely to ever happen. Jonathan Holmes from Destructoid brought up an alternative earlier today that I really liked though (even if it is just as unlikely): playable fake-NES games.

Just the thought of basically having Retro Game Challenge-style "retro" titles incorporated into Animal Crossing had me salivating.

In Transit: My copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf

The idea that Pikmin 3, Ace Attorney 5 and Beyond Good & Evil 2 could all be at one E3 sounds like a dream scenario to me.

@Pikachupwnage - It was funnier the way I said it.

On one hand, I'm pleasantly surprised that Rhythm Thief took the top spot.

On the other hand, I'm disappointed that VRL wasn't ranked more highly and that, even with 13 spots for 10 games, EOIV somehow failed to make the list entirely.

One of those "TBDs" will be Power Stone 3.

It's finally happening, people!

I freaking love Link's Awakening; the only Zelda title that I hold closer to my heart is Majora's Mask.

I still can't believe Nintendo managed to squeeze that game onto a Game Boy cart.

You would think that the kind of people that would bug Hideki Kamiya on Twitter would also be the kind of people that know what Hideki Kamiya is actually in control of and that he is kind of a loose cannon.

But then again, this is the internet.

I'm not sure I'd take it quite to the level Kamiya did, but I'd be pretty annoyed too if people kept endlessly pestering me about a project I'm neither working on nor have any control over.

And I'm pretty sure that Capcom, not Platinum Games, hold the rights to Viewtiful Joe anyway, so I don't know why anyone should be bugging him about that.

He's not wrong. Saying that a single game can save a system is probably oversimplifying things a bit, but the impact that games like Super Mario 64, Halo, Super Smash Bros. Melee and New Super Mario Bros. had for the Nintendo 64, Xbox, GameCube and Nintendo DS, respectively, shouldn't be underestimated (particularly in SM64's case - that game almost single-handedly kept the N64 afloat during the extended wait until the next wave of 1st- and 2nd-party content). Even though those first three systems didn't ultimately win their console generations (and the DS was competing on a different playing field with the PSP and another Nintendo handheld), those games moved a lot of systems and went a long way toward solidifying those consoles' relevance.

And Rayman Legends was never going to be that game, whether or not it remained a Wii U exclusive. Rayman and other non-Mario side-scrollers just don't have that kind of drawing power.

I'll be really interested to see how different the two versions are, particularly whether the 3DS version will just be a lower-res version of the console game or if it will do things to stand out on its own terms.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is the closest I've come to choosing the digital option over an available physical copy. I'm not going to, but I can definitely see how it would be tremendously convenient, especially in this particular game's case.

I'd welcome it. Aonuma clearly wants to try his hand at other things, and who can blame him? Even if you are proud of your work on a series, what type of creator wants to be stuck working on just one IP for their whole career? And Zelda could truly benefit from some fresh creative blood at this point.

What are you gonna do, bleed on me!?

When the N64 first came out, it took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out that my left hand was supposed to (almost always) be on the middle grip of the controller, and not on the leftmost one.
