Oh its a time of piece, which is a perfect time to gather evidence the second he becomes a monster. Which I assume will be the second big Nintendo games start hitting.

This article pissed me off - http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9027205

This was 1-up's retrospective on Crystal Castles.  For those of you who don't remember (or never heard of it here are a few pics)

There wasn't much to the game, but you were a cute bear who was controlled with a roll-ball (ala Centipede) and you picked up gems on different stages while avoiding trees that tried to each you and other stuff like that.  And occasionally you'd find a Wizard's hat that made you invulerable and made you that much cuter.  When I was around 6 or 7, this was my FAVORITE arcade game without a doubt. The fact that the Wii still doesn't have this on the Virtual Aracade is a crime against humanity.

So why does the article make me mad?  Because they're focusing most the retrospective on the POS version on the Atari 2600. . . This version:

You may notice a complete drop in quality and functionality between the two versions.  And frankly seeing it again makes me hate the 2600 all the more.

They have this for the 360's Arcade Room for 240 points/$3. The arcade version not the 2600 one.

Yup. It a little weird playing it with an analogue stick, but it works well enough.

Any big predictions?  God of War III or Final Fantasy III the top seller? Does Red Steel 2 even chart?  Does Wii Play With Wiimote make a comeback?

I am sure I did predictions before but lets try it now, and I encourage everyone to do so, winner wins respect.

Hardware:

• 360 - 390k
• PS3 - 420K
• Wii - 410K
• DS - 750K

• Pokemon - 1.0 million
• Pokemon - 900k
• GoW3 - 900k
• FFXIII PS3 - 800k
• Battlefield 360 - 750k
  
• FFXIII 360 - 700k
• Battlefield PS3 - 650k
• NSMB - 450k
• MLB 10 The Show - 380k
  
• MW2 360 - 300k
  

I won't make any heavy predictions, as I've yet to ever get close with any of my NPD predictions.  But I'll make a few general ones...

• Pokemon is the top seller for the month
• FF XIII does less than 1 million on both consoles combined
• God of War III does over 1 million
• Tastunoko v. Capcom makes an appearance in the top 20.
• CoD:MW 2 makes it into the top 10 for one last time

A Giant Vagina?!

I don't know WTF this this is, but it sort of looks like an evolved Malabro from Final Fantasy.  Whatever it is... I don't like it and can't wait to kill it.

[360] 475k
[NDS] 700k
[PS2] 90k
