Re: How Did Nintendo Do At This Year's Golden Joystick Awards?

Only one I had a problem with was Uncharted for Best Handheld. Skyrim for GoTY doesn't surprise or offend me, everyone was going nuts for that game when I came out and it did look really fun. I can imagine there will be plenty of people angry at Mortal Kombat for best fighter, though there would have been people angry at that category regardless of who won.

I never played Air Ride "back in the day." It's very much a recent addition to my game library, and I enjoy it very much, especially when I have friends around who know what they're doing.

I wouldn't say that. I love the game, and the two games were made with the same basic philosophy in mind(easy to learn, hard to master), but personally I think that there isn't nearly as much depth in Air Ride as there is in SSB(especially Melee).

Nah, it's cool. I was mostly kidding/exaggerating anyway. Like I said, I think this game could have used some polish, and then I feel it could be a lot better than it is. Cut some of the fat(Top Ride), give us more variety(more maps in Air Ride/City Trial), and maybe some other stuff, and the game could really be fun.

This is the only time I've felt rage at an NL review. Air Ride is one of my favorite games on the Gamecube, period. It could use some polish, yes, but I still think it's a fun game.

City Trial is the best mode, btw. I really wish they had offered more maps than just the default one to play on, as well as a sort of "Battle Mode" where the whole point would be just to destroy your opponents. Oh, and they should have removed Top Ride, nobody liked that mode.

I repeat, emulation is not illegal. VC is run by Nintendo, but there are plenty of commercial releases(especially collections of retro games) that use emulators, often without the consent of the maker of the original system.

Also, as far as the tablet goes, I think stuff like this exists to show that tablets can do what consoles can do as well as the more typical iOS/Android fare.

I see no problem with this. They're advertising a device that is designed for traditional-style game, why not use some traditional games?

And emulators are perfectly legal. If not, then the VC wouldn't be legal, and the MM Anniversary and X collections would have been Gamecube exclusives. EDIT: That said, downloading roms that you don't own is illegal, so some of what's shown in the video could be legally murky.

Re: Ken's Rage Cannot Be Contained By PS3 And 360 Alone, Wii U Version Confirmed

I know they look kinda like nipples, but they aren't. Scars in Anime and Manga are very different from how they are in real life.

Edit: Also, I do wear glasses, and human anatomy tells me that people only have two nipples, and that they don't form dipper-shaped patterns across peoples chests. Edit 2: Perhaps you need glasses, since last I checked nipples aren't that color, and they point outwards, not inwards.

And about how roided out he looks: TRUST ME, Kenshiro(the guy with blue hair) looks positively tiny compared to a lot of the villains in the show.

Re: File Sizes Revealed For 3DS eShop Retail Downloads

@meltendo
As far as brands go, SanDisk is the one I've heard is the most compatible/best quality. I also use a lot of Lexar cards, not just for Nintendo stuff, so that's good as well.

As far as size, just get whatever you feel comfortable with. The 3DS is SDXC compatible, so all SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards should work.
