I totally got caught off guard in a big way. I just received a phone call for Power Level Marketing.  Someone with a Playstation 3 game just set up a meeting with me for next week. Huh... maybe I do know what I'm doing.

Yes! You're our ticket to the top!   Good to hear.

I'm still kind of shocked as hell.  I had kind of put it hold until after Labor Day (Sept. 6th) when I had more free time for it and hadn't done anything else to promote it since last month. Got to say I think I earned myself a beer.

Hopeuflly they don't see this post.

It's a bit of a shame how Lost Planet 2 turned out but I still really enjoyed the multiplayer and single-player demos and the game looks awesome. I'd still like to pick the game up and I may actually get it this weekend but right now I'm trying to hunt down a copy of Blazblue: Continuum Shift.

I haven't played Spyborgs but I did play the Dark Void demo and I bought Bionic Commando. While I was pretty 'meh' on Dark Void I loved Bionic Commando and thought that it was really an under-rated game. I got it at full price and was satisfied. Now I see it going for $10 which is an absolute steal.

I must say that I'm quite happy that Kinect seems to be getting good pre-orders. I'm really looking forward to it and want to see it do well so third-parties really embrace it.

Re: Kinect.  Now that my hardcore rage has subsided I'm prepared to buy a move and/ or a Kinect so long as there is software that makes it worth it.  I did not buy a PSP for 2 years until there was the software for it, I'll do that same for these.  If the software never comes, I'll give it a miss, just as I did for the cameras on 360 and PS3.

Because they're developing it and are known for slick visuals, fast action, and the like, all of which are present in Other M? I mean, the face modeling alone is miles beyond Retro's...

You and I are in agreement. But I want Bobovich's take.

There's no take, just annoyance that people can't seem to remember the shit I told them thousands times before.

Metroid other M is a collaboration between Team Ninja, Team Metroid (I am not sure what their official name is) and D-Rockets for he cut scenes. If you think the game is going to be crap, that is your right, but don't blame it on Team Ninja.

For 2 reasons I say this.

1) They are in collaboration with 2 other teams, including the Metroid guys.

2) Yoshio Sakamoto actually contacted Team Ninja and asked for their collaboration. He was not forced to do that. And even if Team Ninja does something wrong, he is still the producer and can stop and correct things. Heck in a interview it was said that Team Ninja wanted to use the nunchuck, while Sakamoto inspired by NSMBWii wanted to go Wiimote only.

Some people don't like the story focus and blame Team ninja for that. Well guess what Sakamoto wrote the scenario. Even better he wrote the whole fucking Metroid manga.

There are some design decisions in Oher M that I do not like, but let's be honest here people. All responsibility falls on Sakamoto's shoulders. He hired those guys and he had the power to stop some decisions. Actually most of the controversial decisions have been made by him. So quit the crap and stop scape goating Team Ninja.

And and another point. If you say you don't trust Team Ninja, you are saying that you do not trust Sakamoto, for he was the once who approached them.

Earth Seeker looks interesting, pics are so small though.

Like when Zelda team members headed up Wii Fit? You were adamant that it wasn't the zelda team but you're now adament that its the Metroid team making Other M.

Metroid team, with Team Ninja and D-Rockets. Together. Totally different from Wii-Fit which had some Zelda team members, but also people from other games. Nintendo is known for shuffling team members around. Koizumi of Galaxy fame, worked on Link's Awakening and other Zelda games before.

Your second argument was that if Wii Fit was not released we would have Zelda Wii by now, but you forgot that two Zelda DS games were released in that time. Guess who made? Team Zelda.

And from interviews Zelda Wii was saved by the Wii Sports Resorts team. So suck at that for a while. Really getting tired of discussing things with you. You say I am wrong, we get in a fight and eventually you agree. Let's just skip all these steps and start agreeing with me from the beginning. Saves a lot time

"Take" just means "view" or perspective.  I did not mean it in a negative way.

What I wanted to know is why is Ninteno emphasizing Team Ninja's involvement.  But you know what?  Maybe they are not -- maybe it's the gaming press that is emphasizing it.

 Actually it is understandable. To my knowledge, having the Metroid team working together with Team Ninja and D-rockets, not just working together as separate studios, but kinda merging and being a new team for just this project, is unprecedented with Nintendo. So I understand the emphasize on Team Ninja. However most people (I do not say press, because they are critics not journalists and bad ones at that) forget about the Nintendo part. Even though most interviews are done by Sakamoto. I guess it is human nature to scapegoat stuff.
