Not the most tactful answer he could have given, but he's absolutely right about Wiiware.

I knew I should have waited before buying so the bugs could be worked out.

I was lucky until last night when it happened twice within an hour.

I felt the original Okami was a bit lacking in the gameplay department, but everything else about it was delightful. I'll probably pick this up when my backlog shrinks.

Weak move, Nintendo.

The ability to play as Tofu would be nice.

I'm honestly not sure as to what you're trying to get across there. Is it that you think ME2 is a shooter? That Stracraft 2 is a shooter?

I call bullsh*t. Mass Effect 2 was far superior to SMG2. Ah well,at least Mass Effect 2 won Best Game over the competition.

Need for Speed beating Halo: Reach and Starcraft 2 in multiplayer? Also crap.

PvZ is a fantastic game, but I'm not so sure how well it will run on the DS.

I remember trying the Mega Man title years ago. I didn't play it long enough to form an opinion of the actual gameplay but the music was awful.

Ugh,about 4 stars too high in my book.

I'd be interested if I didn't already have it on the 360. Still nice to see the 3DS have a game almost as good as the console versions.

I'm pretty sure that would be incredibly illegal. I sure as hell know I don't want Nintendo using my property as a proxy in their war with hackers.

Good for them. Maybe this chain of events will make Nintendo take a long, hard look at the sizable number of problems facing Wiiware.

I'd much rather they stuck to handheld games for the 3DS VC. I really, really don't want to see the releases cluttered with dozens of games already on the Wii VC.

@Arcanum
No problem, it's all good.

@Arcanum
Well of course I know it is an option. I also don't recall complaining about it. I did say that it wasn't for me, but that's about it.

Watching a movie on that small screen? No thanks.

Definitely wouldn't.

With all the net enabled phones out there I have to admit I'm a little curious as to how many used the DSi to access the web.

@Link79
I hate Star Fox Adventures with a passion, really.

And while it's true that being different isn't always a bad thing, it is in this case.

Removing the multiplayer and taking it 3D. Two things nobody ever asked for in the series.

Their performance over the last decade would certainly make you think otherwise.

Of course I've always felt Rare was overrated no matter what period you look at.

I'm still amazed that SNK thought the Neo Geo could survive in retail.

Yeah, like some others have pointed out this game kinda sucks. Third party support is nice, but a Bomberman title with no multiplayer is a joke.

Actually, Black Ops story was better than the haters give it credit. It's a Manchurian Candidate rip-off of course, but it's all done quite well. Highly debatable if it's award winning material (story wise), but let's not spout bullsh*t just to desperately try to appear hip.

I'm actually excited for this one to hit the VC. It's not great but I really enjoyed it.

If I were a woman I think this game would come off as terribly offensive instead of just crappy.

Looks like it was developed as a grade school art project.....a grade school for kids with special needs.

And Square continues to attempt to murder the franchise by pulling an Activision.

@Legend Marioid
I don't think "isolationist" means what you think it does.

It's actually pretty simple to see why Black Ops could easily beat Super Mario Galaxy 2. Blops was released on all three systems while SMG 2 only hit the Wii, meaning more people were exposed to Black Ops. Pretty simple.

That, and Blops was the superior game compared to SMG2. But few on this site would agree.
_{Mass Effect 2 was still the best overall.}

Vote for SMG2? Not a chance. Mass Effect 2 all the way, baby!

@linkstrikesback
Yeah, but only terrible people would hate someone for that.

@Wariowoods
I'm sure (or hope, anyway) that plenty of people know the musical meaning of the word. But childish poop humor is more fun.

Son of a......

I knew I should have included hookers in with my bribe instead of just booze.

@post 4

Just to clarify, scat is used to describe animal droppings, not human.

_{Not sure why I cared enough to make a correction.}

It's too bad, but not that surprising, as they've been limping along for years now. I'm pretty sure Bomberman was their only bankable franchise left.

Ugh, another one? Squeenix is milking the fanboys for every dime they can.

Since DSiWare (and WiiWare, to a lesser extent) is abysmal its pretty amusing to hear Reggie chime in on this.

I can only wonder how many poop jokes can fit into the S.C.A.T review.

Demos are always nice, but this update is pretty sad.

No eShop at launch? Unimpressive launch titles? Waiting a few months for a 3DS is looking better and better.

@post 61. Advancedcaveman
It's actually quite simple to understand, especially in the realm of games. It's no different than chasing a high score in a game or looking for every last pointless trinket/best stage clear time in an adventure game.

This thread has some mind boggling posts in it. (not just singling advancedcaveman out with that)

You know, they just could have said "We wanted to be a bit different" instead of that BS statement they issued.

Oh, Pachter. I think you just say random stuff to piss off gamers.

$350+ for a 3DS? Unbelievable.

Good, you can filter out those that use the stylus shortcuts. Anyone doing that online is a giant p**sy anyway.

Meh, I'll buy a few and mark them up on eBay. With only 3 games at launch I'll wait before getting one of my own. The price is still a little high, but $50 less than I feared.

I'm guessing $1,000 and released on Smarch 11th.

So, 7,000+ have signed it? That probably means 50 or so people have been busy spamming the petition, which is why these things are an absolute waste of time.

Son of a b*tch. I was hoping for the opposite to be true.
