Can't believe Sonic and Kirby turned out to be good.

It's hard enough picking winter games, then stuff like this makes it harder.

It's no contest. Sonic will be a much larger game, it will be harder and more worth your time than Kirby. Just rent Kirby, finish it in 2 days and return it.

I'm pretty sure that Sonic reviews won't come close to the praise Kirby has got so far. And Kirby is March 2011 for europe and aussietrailia anyhoo.

This shit is hard, man. HARD. My ass is already sore.

And yet you fear Metroid and Zelda for being hard?

I've been playing Okami, went up the mountain, grabbed some talisman, headed to some forest. They should have made this game way back when on the cube. With some better texture resolution and cleaner lines it could have held up better in todays world. Also, the combat is crap and I hate it.

Totally agreed.  It was what put me off the game

This also applies to all 4 modern Prince of Persia games I've played.

Around the time of the Tokyo Game Show, Sony held a private meeting at its offices in Tokyo's Aoyama. The purpose was to show off the PSP2.

Several sources have confirmed to Kotaku that the PSP2 does have a previously rumored touch panel on the back of the hardware. The touch panel was described as looking like a big mouse trackpad. When Sony showed the PSP2, it did not provide concrete details regarding how the trackpad will be implemented in games and instead is leaving that to the discretion of game developers.

The screen itself is not only sharper than the current PSP's, but about an inch larger. The larger screen means that the PSP2 will be larger as well. In the private meetings, Sony is touting the screen as "HD".

A larger PSP should not be that big of an issue for Sony — especially in a mobile environment with large tablets like the iPad. It also shows that Sony realizes it is no longer simply competing with Nintendo, but also Apple.

It is unclear whether this is the same handheld described by the Wall Street Journal. According to the the paper, Sony is working on a device that mixes a game player, an e-book reader and a netbook computer.

In late September, there were also reports that the PSP2 hardware was in the hands of "numerous" developers.

Currently, the PSP2's hardware is not finalized, and Sony is having problems balancing battery, power and heat. There are apparently overheating issues, but Sony is, of course, aiming to have those issues corrected by the time the hardware is publicly shown.

Sony set the PSP2's goals, but is still tinkering with the portable's innards. The PSP2's tech specs are expected to change.

Sources tell Kotaku that the PSP2's release window is fall 2011. Sony is not yet talking openly about the PSP2.

Sony did not offer a comment in time for publication

Why did they blur the screen...

Do you mean on Goldeneye? If so I think they use it on reloading like Black and Conduit did.

No I mean at the only parts it was showing gameplay on that guy's screen, they blurred it to not show it... Though it was clearly the night club or whatever they call it.

BTW I'm not hating on Okami, I mean I hate the combat but not enough that it totally makes the game not worthwhile.

There's lots to like here and as I played more into my 27th hour I remembered why I like it, lovely music and art, nice atmosphere. And there are so few Zelda like games on the market with open exploration in an adventure game setting.

I guess Zelda is this looming shadow though, you can't help but compare it to Okami and so Okami suffers in that respect as they are up against some of the best designers in the business.

It's not on my Nintendo Channel..? UK only?

I'm in Europe that's why gg told me that.

I had to go to latest videos in the tabs at the bottom of the Nintendo Channel to spot it. It would be weird if it was UK only. Maybe NOE is busy doing the subtitles for foreign languages?
