What I still find incredibly comical about the whole thing is how Nintendo claims to want the hardcore back and satisfied.....just not on the Wii I guess. You have nothing coming out, but you refuse to release 2 very high-quality RPG's that I'm sure Sony would LOVE to have right now. Nintendo wants the hardcore to believe in Wii 2....but for now they will shaft them out of the few games they could give them, on Wii.

What this tells me is that Nintendo is still afraid to take chances on hardcore games unless they are part of a major, already established franchise. This is something that bothers me, because I like to be surprised by original IP, and not just safe software.

This is probably why Retro Studios hasn't made an original IP yet....if they ever do.

In a feature about 2D platformers:

As this change has occurred, so too have people's conceptions about what should be classified as a fully-priced game. Blockbusters made by hundreds of people (like Mass Effect 2 or Red Dead Redemption) are seen as worthy of a Triple A Game price, whereas most people no longer consider platformers as being in the same ballpark.

The LittleBigPlanet series is obviously one of the few exceptions, but those titles are much more than just platformers. The company that is truly bucking the trend is Nintendo. What other company still charges full price for a classic platformer experience? In the last couple of years we've had New Super Mario Bros., DKC Returns and Kirby's Epic Yarn to name a few. These titles are obviously Nintendo's bread and butter, but it does put the company at odds with the rest of the industry.

Don't get me wrong, I love Mario, Donkey Kong and Kirby as much as the next guy, but it can't be denied that these games are selling gameplay that hasn't necessarily evolved since the NES and SNES eras, at five times the price of new and original games being released on PSN, Steam and XBLA. These titles don't have the added bonuses of HD graphics, online play, leaderboards, true 5.1 sound and the potential for DLC expansions.

This video is epic and might just make Edgecrusher put his fist through a glass table

no GG read the edit, the awesome jRPG (according to Leo, Robio and Bugsy) on the DS.

I actually have the American version of the game, your boxes are skinny and my cartridge is black.

You ignore me. I loved the game.

You also loved FFXIII, so ignoring you is for the best. Now stop posting and go watch Babylon 5.

That's pretty lame of Sony making auto-syncing of trophies a PSN+ only feature in this new update.

Agreed...that made me groan.

Meh, fuck Trophies.

Milla Jovovich is confirmed for the next RE movie, if anyone here cares.
