AGGH! I need it!

@simonhwsn "Postmortem" is a term game developers like to use to refer to looking back on a game after production is completed. I agree it is a bit of a dark term to use.

@Gioku Good luck and have fun! Let us know how it goes. : )

@Barbiegurl777 I sincerely admire your optimism. Hope you enjoy the game. : )

@cfgk24 You don't happen to listen to The Bugle podcast, do you?

@whitespy12 Exactly. Capcom is even advertising the Kickstarter themselves. This game is legit.

@gefflt A Wii Remote Plus isn't needed to play Mario 3D World, no. I believe a standard remote works just as well. But if you're going to buy a Wii remote, you might as well get a Plus at these prices. ; )

@Mode7 Fierce Red! The Wii Remote that blazes with passion [as you bowl]!

@FeedingTheWheel @WingedSnagret How dare you! I am a professional!

YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE MY IMPROVISATIONAL JAZZ KAZOO SKILLS.

Yes, the elusive Kmart still exists, but remember to be beyond its walls before the fog rolls in and it disappears for another 100 years.

I very much enjoyed the style of this article. 8)

I don't see the problem: http://static.themetapicture.com/media/funny-Scar-Mufasa-dying-scene.jpg

@skjia @The_Mod_MARVEL @Falchion All three of you are winners. A 3-chain combo of win!

The new name makes me cringe, but I'm glad it's at least coming over here in some form.

@GAMERGRAFX That'll be great news for a lot of our readers! I've sent in a request to have this article updated.

@Gioku Erk! Well, it's not like there'd be anything wrong with that, right? Right??

Seriously, thanks for catching that! I've sent the request to get that corrected.

@Reynoldszahl It does seem a bit odd, yes. It may not hurt to contact the store and ask if they might make an exception for this particular product.

@CountWavula I wanted to bring this up in the article somehow, but couldn't find a way. Bless you.

@Peek-a-boo Nope, not deliberately forgetting about them. I just hadn't seen them yet. Still, given all the reviews we've mentioned so far, that's two N-Life is 2+ points above, two N-Life is 2 points within, and one N-Life is 2 points BELOW.

@Peek-a-boo Let's see. So far I see IGN at a 5.6 and Polygon at a 6. Our review isn't 2 points higher than either of those. Now Famitsu, giving it straight 9's; that's definitely higher.

But it's not the point, is it. The point is that reviewers have different opinions and different ways of scoring games, and to try to Metacritic it all and just crunch numbers instead of taking the time to review and consider the text of each argument to your own tastes is not really serving yourself well as an informed consumer in the end.

@Jstar269 I meant "on sale" as in discounted, not "on sale" as just starting to be sold. Sorry for any confusion in terminology.

If you don't work out enough, you start to turn into a hideous creature.

@mariobro4 How could I not? It's such a fascinating ball of creepy, funny and stupid lore all rolled up and tied with a bow by the Internet.

@shinpichu Thank you!

@Wheels2050 You could very well be right that Hilleman was not comparing the two men directly as much as he was commenting on their companies as a whole, but even then it seems insulting to both Miyamoto and Jobs to reduce them to simple figureheads. The reason we use their names instead of just saying "Nintendo" or "Apple" is because we recognize their vast individual achievements. Hilleman could have just as well said Iwata, who I think has a role more close to that of Jobs or, if he wanted to continue with "dead guys," Yamauchi. To go into individuals I think muddled the point he was trying to make by placing too much weight on too few shoulders and unnecessarily disrespecting the influence of both Miyamoto and Jobs by cramming them into little boxes marked "all of Nintendo" and "all of Apple."

I agree that I'd rather see more well-thought out discussion here. I think Hilleman's statements should be fully regarded as he is still part of the pulse of the gaming industry as a whole. His tone can be argued, but we shouldn't let it so greatly influence our reactions to what he has actually said.

(I'm not saying I made a good pun, though. I never make good puns. )

@ScroogeMcLz Nope, but you gotta stay limber in the off-season or you don't make the playoffs!

What gets me most about this article isn't anything that Damo said, but the fact there are so many commenters here in their 30s who are married with families. #foreveralone

@idork99 It's a Shantaekover!

...I... I'll just see myself out...

@SpinelessOyster This is my choice, too. Chespin and Squirtle look like they'd be best buds!

@AlexSora89 Shh... I don't think they've found out yet. ; )

@nisshoku It's not him, though. It's the publishers. If they aren't offering n-Space work on 3DS or Wii U projects, there isn't really anything the developer can do about it.

@Einherjar You are one tough metaphorical customer.

@Einherjar What if I made it a milk-drinking tournament, then? Eh? Eh? ; )

@Einherjar That's still 3% of the population, though. If you knew 3% of milk in your store was bad, would you want to buy it from there?

@Gustoff No Call of Duty game has been announced for the 3DS at this time. I apologize if that sentence came across as misleading.

@WinterWarm Sorry, but you're being too dramatic.

EA does not own n-Space now. A guy who once worked at EA (and seemed to be acquired from BioWare when EA took control of them) is now president of n-Space. I'm guessing if this guy wanted to run things the same way things at EA are run, he probably would've stayed at EA. Either way, we can't judge one man based on a company he once worked for.

@SanderEvers Well sure, if you're not an AUDIOPHILE. sniff

Give me a 5-volume CD set of just the Moon Theme, please.

@Warruz "Angrier eyes! ANGRIER!"

@Mk_II Wait, real?

I will personally send a copy of Sonic '06 to anyone who cracks a joke about a Sonic-Peach relationship.

THIS IS A THREAT NOT A REWARD.

I of course can only speculate without official word from Capcom or the ESRB, but I find it highly unlikely that Capcom would intentionally make Dual Destinies an M-rated title as a means of boosting sales. It doesn't seem to make any business sense to do so--especially with an established franchise that's largely considered Nintendo-centric--and it doesn't seem they've been pushing the game to potential audiences as more "mature," either. I would have to guess now that the ESRB has either become more strict as noted in above comments or there is a bit more of something than in other games just as part of the story--but probably not for pure shock value. Sometimes just a bit more blood could be enough to change a rating.

My opinion does not reflect the opinions of Nintendo Life or any of its subsidiaries, yada yada.

@ClassicSonicFan I ran with this because I found it fun and pretty much exactly the way video game arguments would go between me and my friends around this time in my life (anyone who says otherwise is probably in denial or lying). I didn't expect some to respond as negatively as they have, and if I had, I may have thought twice about posting this. But if this is what you love doing, keep at it and don't let anyone get you down, because you're certainly not hurting them.

@BooJoh I agree. And judging from the tone of his writing (and all the smile emoticons I removed for the story here), Reuvers doesn't sound like someone who severely regrets the decision he made, or at least he doesn't dwell on it.

“[Player] is wondering what he would accept doing in the name of love during a steamy night in?”

I would do anything. But I won't do that.

@XyVoX Whoa, I downloaded the MSF1 OST a long time ago and never knew they updated! Comparing to what I have, the final three tracks are the new ones.

@GamerZack7 The first game's soundtrack is also available for the same deal: http://virt.bandcamp.com/album/mighty-switch-force-ost
