Happy Thankgiving and happy gaming to all!

BTW...I gotta say, you know, I don't want to sound all sappy and "un-Edge" like, but seeing as how its the holiday season and all....just wanted to say how much I appreciate you guys here and how cool it is to have a good group of people to just randomly talk to and shoot the shit with online. You guys rule.

Same here, back at you.

Although wolves are evil. I saw them hunt down a baby Bison, they bit his legs and pinned him down. Ate him to death.

Nintendo called on Metroid dev to complete Mario Kart 7


In order to complete Mario Kart 7 for release on 3DS this side of Christmas, Nintendo drafted in the assistance of Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios, the game's producer Hideki Konno revealed in a new Iwata Asks (translated via NeoGAF).


Development of Mario Kart 7 began with a team of just eight people, revealed Konno, but several designers were moved over to help complete nintendogs + cats in time for the 3DS launch. Eventually, Nintendo had to bring in Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country Returns developer Retro Studios to ensure Mario Kart 7 made it to stores this year.

Nintendo has previously said that Retro was used to help create a Donkey Kong Country-themed course for the handheld racer, but it now appears the studio was utilised to create the 16 revamps of retro classic courses. This left Nintendo's internal team free to focus on creating the 16 new tracks.


Mario Kart 7 will be released December 2.

You guys care to see my ugly mug? I appear in the following video as "Left4Cuccos". The video is the first part in a series celebrating 25 years of Zelda. (And how do you embed YouTube videos, again? I don't see a button for it.)

At what part are you on?

Edge, Arch, Robio, Steel and the rest of you metalheads on the VGPress, do you know of a german thrash band called ... ahem ... ahem ... Sodom?     Apparently they were big in the thrash scene in the 80ies or at some stage.

The company I work for is the promoter for their gig here in Cyprus.  I am picking them up at the airport tomorrow and will be with them on the bus etc to take them to soundcheck, hotel etc leading up to a gig in Nicosia in the evening.  

With a name like that, I wouldn't bend over in front of them, Bugs.  That guy in the middle's shirt says it all.

Dude. Dude. DUDE. You're going to be with SODOM!

So jealous of you right now. One of my favorite bands during my teenage years. Tapes of them were hard as hell to come by over here but I always managed to hoard them whenever a new one arrived. After "Better off Dead" I kind of lost their track, but their more recent self-titled record was pretty good. Tell them they have a lot of fans here in Mexico.

Question for the 3DS owners who owned a DSi (aka Leo). I swear I had read that Nintendo was going to allow people who bought DSiWare a way to import those games onto their 3DS without having to rebuy them. Did that happen or have I been hitting the meth too hard again?

Okay I officially took the plunge and got a 3DS. Almost got a Zelda edition of it, but some nutsack in front of me grabbed the last one while I was pacing back and forth deciding if I really wanted to buy it or not. Oh well, the extra $30 is better spent on games I actually wanted like Overclocked.  So now for me the next 2 weeks are just going to be a countdown until Mario Kart 7 comes out.

Anyone getting Mario 3D Land or what?
