    I just keep wondering what Retro is up to now that they don't have Metroid to work on anymore?

    @TeaBean: I keep thinking that maybe Retro is working on a first-person Zelda game, since they showed they could make Metroid work that way.

    Yeah, I'd say it's odd if Aimes' observation is correct and Industry insiders are reacting as if this is the first Nintendo game developed in partnership with another developer. There's the aforementioned Capcom games, and while I don't know if the "Paper Mario" and "Mario and Luigi" games would count, Namco did handle "Starfox Assault" (and, in my opinion, did so damned well), and I'm sure there're plenty of others I'm missing.

    Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are easily my favorite Zelda games. I bet every single scenario in both which is.. five in total, I think. Fuck they're great games.

    @Kirbysuperstar: Minish Cap was far better, I thought. And Link's Awakening was only slightly under that. I'd put the two Oracles games below them but even then, that still means they're vastly better than 95% of all other handheld games.

    @azr: My thoughts exactly. Kamiya's games are wonderfully varied. Bayonetta is a return to the original DMC, but is that a bad thing?


    After playing Devil May Cry 2-4, all I really wanted was more of the original. Too much of a good thing is never enough.


    Itagaki gets no respect from me anyway. If he's going to run his damn mouth about Tekken so much, then he should make a much better fighting game - instead, we get a human juggling simulator with boobies.


    Not that I really care about either Tekken or DOA - the only fighting games I care about come from Capcom and SNK. It's just that, even with me finding Tekken to be a rather boring franchise, I enjoyed Tekken 3 much more than any of the entries in the DOA series.

    In reply to Where To Now For The Ninja Gaiden Series?
    Well, let's give Itagaki what is his. He created the series. Problem was, besides being a great game designer, he has a crappy character, which when combined with his xbox360 fanboy-ism rezulted, i think, in his dismissal from team ninja. Companies want money, the money "managers" decide on exclusivity, not the paid developer. They wanted multiplat, itagaki didn't. They saw how the 1st ninja gaide sold on ps3 and when they wanted to make a 2nd one and itagaki probably went berserk with his behavior, he got fired (of course i know the MAIN story, he didn't get paid he said, etc).


    I'm saying he has a rat character because as i remember(i think i read it here, on kotaku), when ninja gaiden sigma was launched, some guy in japan went with a copy of the game to a game shop or something where he knew itagaki was, to get it signed. And itagaki didn't sign it, because he said he won't sign that crap cos he didn't make it, and apparently was also mad on the fan.

    It's only too bad the fix includes less blood... That alone offsets the fixes and extra features. I mean, it's freaking ninja gaiden.

    THE GORE, IS IT IN OR NOT?


    Did ANYONE ask at E3? Clearly everything they've been showing is gore-free, but I'm curious as to whether or not they've considered including it as an option. It's not like they're going to get any ratings lower than Mature with this game. An age option that increases the gore in the game would be great.
