Yes yes yes yes!

I actually really dig the Pro Controller so I can't say I'm that interested in this. Wish 'em luck though.

Absolutely NOT. I haven't used this technique myself (nor am I that interested in it right now), but removing it at this point would invalidate people's legitimate time trial scores and/or render them unbeatable. That would be a terrible, terrible decision. My design philosophy is that once a game's released and players are fighting for high scores, you leave the game alone unless something is horribly broken.

Also: a 1-2 second advantage over the course of 3 laps will practically never matter in a chaotic online matchup.

Really, really tempted to jump on this, but I'll wait a bit and see if they fix the bugs.

Aw mannn, I got my first three eagles in the new open (and BARELY missed getting an albatross — the ball was moving just a tad too fast and glanced off the pin), but I screwed up my last drive and finished the final hole with a double bogey.

Seriously, this.

Alright, I'm convinced. Ordered!

So, SO excited for this game.

I'm getting to the point where I'll buy most of my games digitally unless I think they're something really, really special that I want to have a hard copy of (like P4G and FFXHD). I'll buy games like Mario Kart digitally simply because it's more convenient.

@shigulicious He'll keep making $50,000 a day as long as people keep playing it. Removing a game from the app store doesn't stop people who've already downloaded it from using it, and the ads will also still work (which is where he's getting all of that revenue).

I never downloaded the game because it looked pretty damn terrible, but after reading the horrible, horrible things people have been sending him I feel kind of bad for the guy.

I'd buy it for my Vita, but I wouldn't pay for a subscription.

That's a shame. I was planning on picking this up.

Moooooooooon

Hoping they remake Sonic 2 next. Easily the best of the Sonic games.

Dang! I ordered a set.

Awesome. Looks like the Wii U's going to move a fair bit of units before the year's out.

@MadAussieBloke Does the game speed up the higher your skill level? Seems like it did in the original Wii Sports Tennis.

I'd absolutely love a localized Wii U version of this, even if it's only a digital release. Make it happen, Capcom!

The Wii U VC is a total joke right now, but if they released everything at once most of it all would be buried forever. I hate that they're doing it but I can see why they are.

This looks really fun, but I really wish those terrain textures weren't so fugly.

I'm really excited about this, actually. MotionPlus tennis with online multiplayer? Sign me up!

Just wanted to point something out real quick: film/television and video games are very different beasts. It's one thing to watch Walter White murder innocent people on TV, but it'd be quite another thing to actively engage in helping him to commit murder in a video game.

@Snkfiend Oh I know there's no chance in hell that it'll die, but I still wish it would. It glorifies and engages players in [virtual] depravity, and I believe that to be wrong.

(and by "die," I mean that I wish no one would buy it, and it's sad that people do.)

Didn't read the whole article, but I actually agree here with Damo for once. It's disgusting that this series is so popular. I gave Chinatown Wars a brief chance just to see what all the fuss was about, but I dropped it quick. In what warped universe would I want to help the bad guy commit crimes?

It's a seriously messed up series, and it's one of the very, very few that I honestly wish would die out.

MH4 in NA plz.

Hmmmmmm. Not sure about this one. I love my classic JRPGs to death, but this one looks pretty generic.

I need this game.

I neeeeeed thiiiiiiis.

This article is missing the truly awesome news: Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson. I want this game now.

This is the best 3DS news I've seen in awhile. I really, really hope they're making a sequel for the eShop.

I want this game so bad.

The Ouya marketing has been really obnoxious, imho. Has really made me lose interest in the console. :/

Why isn't this real.

@Raylax Word. Though there's nothing I'd buy a Wii U for until next year. :/

hahahahaha, this is amazing. Well done Pauly.

How is this even being argued? From a hardware standpoint the Wii U seems to be barely more powerful than current gen consoles. There's no way it'll be able to churn out what the PS4 can, and that's a simple, easy-to-understand fact. I can certainly understand developers not wanting to waste time scaling down graphics for a system that has barely any install base.

This is going to be a Wii situation again. It's going to survive (or thrive) on exclusives and Nintendo's brand power.

Daaang, I hope this comes to America. I'd totes pick up LM2 or DKCR (I've got MH3U and FE) and get me some free Animal Crossing.

Aw hell, no jumping?

^^ lol, seriously. It's all going to come down to whether Nintendo's games will make it sell. They probably will, we'll just have to wait forever for that to happen.

lol, the trailer looks terrible ya'll. Moving around at a snail's pace and bumping into enemies? Yeah, that sounds... thrilling.

The pixel art and music is great though. Shame it doesn't have gameplay to match.

Yeeeeeeesss!!!

hahaha, @The_Fox wins the thread.

Haha I love Xseed. Their twitter account is hilarious and easily my favorite that I follow. <3

@Raylax Word.

I find it amusing that people are PO'd at this. Yes, Amazon should bow and humbly ask pardon for trying to sell products.

That they hardly ever have Nintendo consoles in stock is a bit interesting though. Maybe it has something to do with the 3DS screen scratching debacle awhile back?

Damien is a much bigger "douche" for running/allowing this story and that pic to begin with. Enjoy the mindless fanboy hate you're intentionally stirring up, I'm sure it's lining your pockets nicely.

Yep, it does lz.

It's funny because I've been thinking basically the same thing about the 3DS that he's suggesting - I basically want a bigger, more powerful GBAM. I hate the clamshell design and the dual-screens, and I couldn't care less about 3D.

What he's saying about MH is BS though. Tapping L swings the camera towards the monster, and even after spending 200 hours playing with dual-analog controls in Tri, I felt comfortable with the slightly new scheme within seconds — I'd go so far as to say it even makes the game easier. If I had to guess I'd say he's probably never played a MH game before and is just struggling with the controls in general, which are nearly identical with previous versions.

This is... disappointing. Looks ugly. I was hoping for a new Moon.

Mannn I wish they'd add online at least as DLC or somethin'. I thought they did a great job with the controls in the demo, and despite the framerate drops it's a really pretty game.

I'll pick it up eventually; I already put 180 hours in MH3 so I'm not in a hurry to jump on this without the online component.

@Slapshot I think you misunderstood me — I was referring to NL's posting these Pachter articles as inflammatory/embarrassing. I really don't care what Pachter says about Nintendo, one way or the other.
