*One of the earliest known examples of System Wars. This would have been an epic showdown of company mascots. Unfortunately, Mari-Oh was edited out of the game before it hit store shelves!

Was Alex Kidd in Shinobi World any good?  I've only played about 4 Master System games in my life and that was not one of them.

I wonder if Legend of Exidia is going to be any good.  My hopes for it are probably too high just because the name is already making me think of LoZ, but who knows.  Maybe.  Then again if it gets as many reviews as most DSiWare games no one will ever know.

And finally. . . WHERE THE FUCK IS NIGHT SKY?????
