Yeah...no. Speak for yourself. I found it to be quite fun and entertaining.

I am the oracle, I speak for everyone. GTA IV needed more 80s tunes.

and so each time I die I have to go back through a LONG couple of commutes to get back to the mission.

Which is part of the reason this game is no fun.

I need to get this right now! Awesome post. But I still need to finish Mega Man and FFXIII.

ATTENTION ALL ASSHOLES

LOST WINDS 2 IS WAITING TO BE BOUGHT.

Also, it's just so amazing how a 16 year old game has a more immersive atmosphere than 98% of all the current gen games out today!

And there he goes again. King of Hyperbole.

I think it's because he's comparing it to GTA IV.

PS3 + Move will succeed due to better visual experiences than Wii, less embarrassment

I fully enjoyed Ping Pong with the Wii MotionPlus, but there was an additional element of excitement playing nearly the same game on the PlayStation Move. The PS3 version removed the Miis and had richer graphics, and it just felt more mature; it felt like something I wouldn’t be embarrassed playing when my friends come over, which is why my favorite feature of the PlayStation Move has nothing to do with the peripheral itself.

..........wow.

Did you guys actually watch that DSi head tracking game video I posed like 3 times but everyone ignored it before?

- Craig has heard rumors about a Rogue Squadron game
- Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver has no connectivity with Rumble, Pokemon Ranch is supposed to get an update for HeartGold/SoulSilver

- No podcast next week since they’re moving into a new office

ROFFLES

3D DS system confirmed. Right now everyone should be checking out the GAF thread. 

Rumours:

1) Two screens, with virtually no seam between them when open
2) Screens are larger and higher resolution, but exact resolution is unknown
3) Powered by nVidia Tegra
4) Roughly as powerful as a Gamecube, and apparently similar to program for
5) Uses carts - believed to be same physical size as DS/DSi carts, only with different guts
6) Due out in 2010 in at least one territory
7) Accelerometer for motion control

Wow, I just read a comment about 3D DS that blows my mind. In Phoenix Wright the accusatory finger could be poking out of the screen at me.

Also remember that they patented a force feedback stylus. 

This has got me interested in E3 and Wii. 

If they've been tinkering around with DSi head tracking and now a 3D handheld, will we finally get to play head tracking wii games like this?

From 1Up.Com's --A-- Review:

"More importantly, though, Cave Story is a truly great game. It was crafted as a labor of love, a fond romp through a bygone age of the medium. Its precise balance of playability, challenge, story, and depth have served as an inspiration to a generation of indie developers who can look to Pixel's work as proof that a small team really can create a game capable of standing up to cIassics like Super Metroid. I know gamers aren't especially known for their generosity and altruism (the success of the Child's Play charity venture aside), but the prospect of Amaya finally earning a little something for the hard work he invested in this masterpiece strikes me as satisfyingly poetic.

What makes Cave Story worthy of such adulation? It's all well and good to talk about its greatness or its heart or whatever, but beneath all the hyperbole it's simply a beautifully crafted action game. It's not quite as non-linear as your average Metroid, but there's an element of adventure to the way the story unfolds and you're forced to seek out items and conversations to advance to new areas. This free-roaming element hides a number of very different endings, a multitude of secrets, and what may be the single most challenging bonus stage ever seen in a videogame. You have to make tradeoffs -- for example, do you take this amazing weapon, or do you instead pursue that alternate outcome? -- and overcome a number of nail-bitingly tough battles in order to see the quest through to its conclusion. It's a game that tests your reflexes and engages your mind, all while laying out a simple but intriguing story.

In short, Cave Story feels like the most amazing console game from the year 1990; that it's only now coming to console 20 years later shouldn't be held against it. On the contrary, Pixel's indie cIassic feels right at home amidst a screen full of Virtual Console channels. It's a must-play masterpiece for anyone who like cIassic action games -- or any kind of action game, really. The only real question is which will amaze you more: That this is the work of a single man, or that they actually do make 'em like this anymore."
