People still like Sonic?

I'm personally waiting until Nintendo releases the 3DSi version in 2012 or maybe even the 3DSi XL in 2013.

The only thing that made Kinect look cool was the Child of Eden live demo at Ubisoft's conference. That looked amazing. However, I have a PS3 so I'm getting Child of Eden for that instead. Sorry Microsoft.

@46 Yeah I agree. Practically every non-Wind Waker Link (Majora's Mask Link being the exception) had as much personality as a tree trunk that kept using the same three facial expressions: shocked/angry (the same in-game animation pretty much), stoic (standard expression for 80% of the game), and smiling (rarely used unless in cutscenes).

@1 Because Ace Attorney has become stale, boring, and predictable considering each game has pretty much been the EXACT same thing for almost a decade now.

I love how Capcom is taking tremendous fanboy crap because this game dares to try something new, different, and unique. The nerve of some developers, how dare they try to be creative...

This was probably the worst thing Nintendo showed outside of Just Dance 2 and Wii Party. I had low expectations after Twilight Princess but was excited when they said they were "reinventing" Zelda. I didn't realize that meant simply putting MotionPlus over TP's already busted controls while not reinventing anything.

@Pegasus I agree. PS3 for this one. N4S Hot Pursuit 2 was one of the best racing games of the last generation for the PS2. A welcome return to form for this series.

I kind of want to make a briefcase or a pair of shoes out of that crocodile Pokemon.

I was hoping Retro was working on either Star Fox or Kid Icarus. Bummer.

I'd rather have a Wii Star Fox and not another Donkey Kong title. Donkey Kong hasn't had a good game since the N64.

Sigh, Kingdom Hearts 3 please. No more junk.

20 years from now we'll all look back on those who laughed this off when everyone is playing games in the virtual reality iThunderdome.

Hopefully Sega will actually revive good, forgotten series for the 3DS like Ristar, Vectorman, Shining Force, and Streets of Rage along with new IPs instead of just making more crappy games featuring a certain mascot that needed to be put down ages ago.

By the look of those two legendaries, it seems someone spilled some Digimon into my Pokemon.

Well, at least it's not a remake. I'll give it that. Still too much Final Fantasy and not enough Chrono or Mana.

"Gentlemen, after giving Sonic fans hope with the announcement of a retro-styled Sonic the Hedgehog 4, how do you propose we capitalize on their excitement and hopes?"

Shadowy Figures: "RETURN TO MAKING CRAP!"

"Excellent. So it shall be."

Dead Space Extraction and other Wii M-rated on-rails shooters would be one of those games that would work better on the PS3 than on the Wii. They would benefit from a visual and control upgrade since none of those games use Motion Plus.

Shocking. I thought he did it for the joy of piracy. The criminal mind is complicated.

A game releasing in 2010 with all the bells and whistles of a game that was released back in 1999. High Voltage needs to get the memo that playing lackluster multi-player offline doesn't make it better than when it's played online.

I would support no more No More Heroes if a Killer 7 sequel would happen.

Yeah, go Flyers.

My order is being prepared for shipment.

Extra effort resulting in an extra disappointing Sonic game. Oh Sonic, I kid, I kid...

Hopefully the surprise is Tingle dies. Good thing they are focusing on the controls because the Wii version of Twilight Princess had terrible controls compared to the GameCube version.

Wake up, kill monsters, kill monsters, kill monsters, kill monsters, kill monsters, lunch, kill monsters, kill monsters, kill monsters, quick nap, kill monsters, kill monsters...

They really should have changed up the starting Pokemon types.

The Nintendo Virtual Boy... oh wait, that's been taken.

Megaman MMO? Well that sounds... NO!

This seems like a non-issue. Just release it with a T-rating and nothing censored. It's not like it's God of War HD nudity and violence we're discussing. Anyone who gets upset over any religious symbolism, well, they should really re-examine their own faith if a video game can cause them to rage over such trivial things.

Yeah, you just know some people are going to put the DVD in their Wii and then call Nintendo to complain the DVD won't play. I personally can't wait to play my Mario Bonus DVD on my PS2 and watch my room fill with irony.

Also a Yoshi plush toy would have been a better bonus pack-in...

If Nintendo truly cared about online gaming they would have planned something substantial with online services/support back in 2005 before the Wii even launched. Five years later and all we have is Wii Speak, Friend Codes, and a laziness to incorporate even the simplest online features into their games. I love Nintendo but I will bash their online gaming views and strategies because they need to stop acting like online gaming doesn't matter. Microsoft, Apple, and Sony would like nothing more for Nintendo to keep living in the 1990s when it comes to online gaming.

"Once you’ve finished there’s arguably little else to encourage you to keep playing..." And it still gets a 9? Say what? Considering the game is only 4 hours long at best and still a full $50... I don't know if the game deserves a score that high when many downloadable games are twice the playtime for a fraction of that full $50 price.

Ace Combat > Tom Clancy's anything.

A new Earthworm Jim is never happening. It's time to let the hope die and just enjoy the many shoddy ports of the first two games we'll be subjected to for the next decade just like we did for the past decade.

Not too excited about this considering the only good game Bungie has ever made was Halo 2.

Going to get the PS2 version of this.

I might have gotten this if it was for another system or the PC but I just don't trust the Wii community to keep this game alive and worth playing online. That also considering how niche of a game it is and how it most likely won't sell that well in the first place.

So many deaths on Bright Man's stage...

Yes to Star Fox, no to another Wii until 2012 or after.

Rival Schools 3, new Darkstalkers, or Strider 3. MvC3 is not needed.

It might not be a serious threat but it does take sales away from Nintendo and Sony in the handheld market, especially in software for their respective systems. Source: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/23/analyst-iphone-has-apple-taking-a-bite-out-of-ds-psp-software/

Not my favorite Mario game but still a good game. I enjoyed the FLUDD-less levels the most because they were the only challenging parts of the game. However, the final boss battle with Bowser was super pathetic and left me not liking the game as much as other Mario games.

Great retro article. Now if Nintendo would only make a Star Fox game for the Wii...

He's fair in saying that it might not work for a portable system because well, it just simply might not work. Nintendo has had success with innovation but they also have utterly failed with innovation before so I'll wait till E3 to see if this glasses-less 3D is anything more than another gimmick.

No thanks. "...incorporate the Vitality Sensor into Zelda so that as you become more scared, the enemies become even tougher." Who honestly gets frightened by Zelda games? The only scary thing about them is Tingle. This concept would be better suited for third party horror games like Silent Hill.

I'd still rather have a new Star Fox, new Kid Icarus, or Mother 4.

Too bad the gameplay is terrible and it's extremely short. Everything else (atmosphere, graphics, story, etc.) looked great. Crappy gameplay is always a deal breaker for any game regardless if it's 10 or 50 hours.

I was planning on getting one but $190... yeah, no thanks. Even the PSP-3000 is now cheaper than that.

I remember the cereal. I also remember it tasting terrible and never buying another box.
