Dark Cloud 2 was one of my favorite games on the PS2. Along with Dragon Quest 8 I'd also argue it's was Level 5 at their peak. It's a really long game though, so it is real hard to find that right time to play.

Yeah Dark Cloud 2 was pretty awesome. I agree DC2 and DQ8 were the best from Level 5.

So he was director at NOA since 2006? That's what I read this as. If not please enlighten me before anymore one liners are thrown around.

Basically he ran NOA from 2002 to 2006 when Reggie became President. He remained as a director whose role is different from President.

They definitely work better when they're working for someone else. The Dark Clouds for Sony and Dragon Quests for S-E were all very good or better. When they're left to their own devices they make things like Rogue Galaxy, White Knight Chronicles, Ni No Kuni and Fantasy Life. All good games, but flawed and just a few tweak away from being much much better.

Sounds like the right man, he knew wii u was trash. End the wii u, get NX going, enough of this ignoring the rest of the industry. And force them to make Metroid!

But was he talking just about the LOOK of the console being too similar to Wii? Because outside of the system dashboard, that's the only thing similar. If that's the case he's not talking about the overall philosophy being too similar so it might not mean he's suddenly going to get them designing better hardware. Possibly just making sure the console LOOKS different.

Fire him inmediately!

No.

I don't think they intend to have him run the company long anyway. This seems like one of those deals like you see in sports, where they just give somebody the title for a year or two while they look for a permanent replacement. You know its true.

But it was still him and Reggie running the show, so I was right. Now, bow down.

I don't think so. Reggie took over when he became president and I think Kimishima went back to Japan.

This is where Nintendo was at 10 years ago compared to today:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/01/31/gamecube-games-of-2005

Everyone was looking forward to "the biggest game of 2005". That didn't come out until the end of 2006. As much as people complained about Gamecube losing support or dying out early, it still had more going on through the end than the Wii U has. And Cube still at least had SOME 3rd-party support. It also got a Monolith RPG and a new Star Fox just like the Wii U is getting this year, ironically enough.

Whoa, flashback.

Anyone here bought Starfox Assault? What was it like?

Steelattack....you will enjoy this.

Comes out tomorrow. Album is called Metal Allegiance. Its basically a get together of all the most badass dudes in metal. Each track has a different vocalist and special lead guitar guests. The main songs are done by Alex Skolnick from Testament, Dave Ellefson from Megadeth, and Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater. This track is awesome...has the dude from Lamb of God on vocals and lead guitar at the end by Gary Holt of Exodus/Slayer.
