I met him in 2014 when he came back to the United States for the first time in 10 years. It was Ocala Comic-con (Why he came to Ocala Florida I will never know). I was working the event and he signed 6 cards for my soon-to-be girlfriend and I. Her holographic Charizard and Japanese Gyrados brought a smile to his face.
Kudos to Thomas Whitehead on an incredible article. Things writtten this well, with this much research put into it, and that much thought is why I've been with this site so long.
@Realgamer4life I work at the gamers edge where we sell new and retro games and accessories. I hate to say it but yes people STILL don't get it. They will see a brand new 360 controller, and then a $4.99 pre owned Xbox original controller and they will buy it. Different section, different price, different games near it, but they still get mad if I don't stop them before they go home and wonder "why isn't there a place to plug it in?"
Decided to pull the plug. Restarted and system came right back to create a new account. This time allowed me to continue and transferred my moisture directly off 3ds.
Help. My wii u is stuck. The update finished and itbwas about to start up Nintendo network now it has the wii u logo in the bottem left leftof the TV and game pad. Been there for 20 minutes
Aw! Im working when it happens! WAIT! I work in a video game store and Im the manager! I now make the executive decision that it will be live streamed on every available TV. All 9 of them!
While i disagree with the decision to ban it, I don't disagree with the right. Video games are art. They have a right to be made and interacted with. Consoles are museums for this medium, and it is the right of curator to reject pieces from being displayed for any reason.
honestly, I have the power pak + and it works beautifully. The battery it's self is only $20 and does all that this can (looking less ugly at the same time, and also allows continued use of your original charge cable. I got the one with the charge dock ($30) but I can whole heartedly say it's worth it
@africano Thanks! That is very good news. Ill post if Asphault 4 can be downloaded too. edit But at least I have my art academy. To think I almost went and bought the cartridge. (I didn't because I wouldn't be able to upload them to my camera when I painted something)
Look up Gunnar Optiks. These are like cheap knock offs. I wear Gunnars everyday while at work and gaming and I can say for sure they work and actually have some style. I wear the design they call parallax.
I thought of this a few days before getting my 3DS. Woulda been the first if I didn't want to pay my electricity bill first. edit Also, it'd be my first, and I really don't think this is "first tatoo" level.
Wait..Either Im psychic and I saw this in a vision, OR I got caught in a time warp and the jet lag of time makes me think it is still my current time. Didn't I see this review before?!
Can someone help me? It asks if I want to use spotpass and I select yes, then it stays on the home screen and never moves from there until I tap power>home menu then try again, where I have to select no or have the same issue. Am I doing something wrong?
@slapshot82 Not to disprove your point, but there are some flaws in your list.
Tiger Woods Wii - a great effort, and a great golf game, but diminished by the moves updated support on the ps3
Madden Wii- a terrible effort since 10. It looks horrid and plays worse
EA Active- a very good program, again diminished by it appearing on other consoles in (from what I hear) better versions
Skate It- a watered down version of skate that never quite captured the magic or audience the original did
Boom Blox- a sleeper hit. Great reviews, terrible sales.
Rock Band 1-3- 1 was terrible, 2 was pretty good, and 3 I was surprised by the amount of effort and care that went into it.
NBA Jam- again, diminished in value by being on ps3 and 360
Sims- from what I hear (have not played) the wii version is..limited at best
Dead Space Extraction- watered down on rails shooter from the original console version. It alienates the fans by taking out the gameplay it was known for and confuses new-comers by a storyline in progress
Spore- cool, but far better on pc.
save for rockband 3, every game on EA's heavy hitter list is "cool, BUT..." and even then rockband 3 gets complaints of "not HD" (which I find silly, since why would you be looking at your rockers long enough to complain?) I love the wii, but as far as 3rd parties go, they are limited by no support from nintendo, small advertising, and little to no online features of the other consoles. Combine that with the wii's hardware and unique control scheme (that few third parties seem to use correctly) and you can't win for trying sometimes.
I would love to play the virtual boy! While I know licencing might be hard on a title like "water world" I would love to play some of the gems of the system without the headaches and clunky hardware.
ok, I'll be the first to say it. I think this would be GREAT as a re-make (or a sequel?) for the 3DS. Just imagine the possibilities with the 3D displays.
My question is, the system is $299 (translated currency) in japan... Does that mean they actually are going to have it strapped to a gorgeous model? Or am I going to have to get one in an accessory kit?
@gabbo. Hey Hey, my parents let me play with "my first flamethrower" near propane. I survived. Now if you don't mind, I have to go apply more ointment...
UPDATE: Since this story was published, Nintendo has confirmed that it will be revealing date and price information for the 3DS on September 29. However, the Mario Factory has said it is has not confirmed that the 3DS will be out this quarter. The headline of this story initially stated that the 3DS was due out in October, according to the Bloomberg report. GameSpot regrets the error. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6271503.html?tag=latestheadlines%3Btitle%3B3
btw, I will be first in line at my town. I will NOT miss the 3DS release. I was the same way with the DSi, and camped 4 hours in front of lamestop (before I refused to shop there) to be first in line.
Right now, I have netflix on my Wii, Ps3, 360, Tivo, and my laptop. I was thinking "I have 5 different devices that can do it. Why can't other nations have one?"
