Is there plans on some sort of other Dragon Quest anniversary collection for the rest of the world?

Yes we get to celebrate by playing Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2.

Oh just a quicky review since everyone has been dying to play this game... Wii Party.  I got it for my kids a while back and they love it to death, so finally I decided to sit down and play it with them. It may be the worst game Nintendo has ever made.

I can't say for sure, but I think I remember that the games in Wii Party were made by other devs, NIntendo only published it.

Happy B-Day Yoda-licious.

So where's Nintendo's comments on the shitty USA release calendar? I thought today was the day?

They changed the Batman box art:

Yeah Happy Bday Yoda enjoying your site !

I played through the XBL Duke Nukem Forever demo. Yeah, it's bad. Bad in a B-movie sort of way, though. It kinda looks like an upscaled Wii game. Okay, that's not really a fair comparison; there are a few Wii games that do look better! Oddly enough, I actually did enjoy the demo. Well, I got a few juvenile laughs here and there anyway. The load times, frame rate, and collision detection should have been better, but it's still playable. I'd give the demo a 6 out of 10. Don't know what I'd rate it if I had to play through all 12 hours of it, though. Heh, I might pick it up for $10 or less just for laughs.

This is just bad business by Nintendo. This was great free publicity. Not just for Xenoblade, but for Wii games as a whole. This could have been a surge for the Wii.

Now they're going to have to deal with a lot of negative PR. They're going to have to come up with more than just a 140 character "we're not doing it" to fend off all the hate that's coming. They'd need to break down the reasons for it. Otherwise they're going to see a backlash. Every gaming website is going to write a nasty article about Nintendo turning their back on it core gamers.
