And there he goes again. King of Hyperbole.

Well, it does!

Dead Space is nothing compared to the 16-bit masterpiece that is Super Metroid!!!

 He is right in this case, but you would not know having never played any Metroid game. Download it now, you are a lost cause, but don't drag your children down with you

Gaming is an art form, anyone that doesn't agree to that is some old fart that doesn't know better. 

 Define art.  Then define game.

 Yeah, someone?

I have a definition of a artist.

Artist: when you so called profession is of no use to anyone, forcing you to work at McDonald's.

Jack the Ripper game confirmed (story above).

I don't think it's appropriate to profit  from  games/ movies about real world serial killers.  I support their right to make stuff like this, it's just not for me.

I know it was from 150 years ago, or whatever, but it's no different if they made a game about Jeffrey Dahmer or Charlie Manson.

As long as you don't play as Jack the Ripper killing people then it should be ok. If it is a detective game or something it would be interesting. Enough movies and stuff have been made on the subject, as GG said it's almost legend now. Now if they turn Jack into a superhero then that is disgusting.

 Shadow man had Jack the Ripper. He was awesome.

Miyamoto tells Game Informer that Super Mario Galaxy 2 will have world map, but no hub world

“We want players to focus on the joy of the action instead of getting to each game course. We wanted to make it as accessible as possible and as easy as possible for the players.  Also because we’re going to incorporate a number of different stars and conquering all the stars is going to be one of the most challenging missions for the player, we want them to understand as easy as possible where they should go next and which places they should go back to in order to get access to the remaining stars.” - Shigeru Miyamoto

 Since Iga is not here I'll play his part for this post.

"Old.  This was known months ago, and was just as I predicted."

 Damn straight. I want my name to be gold. Make it so Yoda!

P.S. more proof that Iwata and Miyamoto actually visit this site.

*boobiest (non) anime?*

That's Yaya Han. I know her. See!!! She hung out with me during our Rock of Love party at a con we had a couple years back.

For the record I do think think this makes me the coolest person in the forum.

That is a surprisingly complimentarily editorial from IGN about the 3DS. I think they've hit the nail on the head though. Even though it's far too early to say this, I think Nintendo already hit the nail on the head with this handheld. Handheld 3-D could actually be pretty cool. Think about playing Mario Kart and tilting the screen to get a better look at who is driving nearby you. I could appreciate that.

And the more I think about it, the more I don't think the timing of this announcement isn't that strange at all.  Negative press about Nintendo was starting to surface again about hardware shortages, software not selling, lack of a big game until Galaxy 2, etc. Whether or not that stuff is true is one thing, but by making this announcement now, Nintendo once again gets some glowing press.  At least they are in most of the mainstream press, which ultimately is the most important for them.  Plus the DS is enough of a monster that they don't have to wait until E3 for an announcement about it to get picked up. Besides now they have some hype going into E3 and will get just as much of a favorably reaction once they unveil the system (assuming it doesn't look like the original DS).

Is it just me or does this not look as good as previous screens?

Overall I think they still look as good. That last one is pretty rough though.  Not sure what was going on there...

Has anyone thought of a good way to put an analogue stick on a handheld?

Can't they put a hole in the lid of a folding handheld so it wont be crushed and would sit flush overall?

Or have a screw on analogue nub?
