If it was eight years ago, I’d have grumbled that the Japanese are often unfair and closed-minded about Microsoft consoles. But it’s 2016 and I’ve hated my Xbox One almost every day since I bought it. I don't blame anyone, of any nationality for not wanting it. I'd have sold it by now but it's barely worth the cost to… Read more

Precisely. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now that the world has moved away from that silly idea. Read more

You know what just kills me? I see my Wii U’s backward compatibility as a real gift, the chance to relive all the great Wii titles I missed or didn't spend enough time with, and for cheap…yet I never want to actually play them because having to lug out my Wiimote and its dangling nunchuck, then point a chair at the TV… Read more

This happened to at least one of my levels, which really bummed me out. It had plays, clears, I wanna say at least a small handful of stars, but they just said “your shit is no longer shit people can play” without explanation. Kinda took away from the thrill of unlocking another ten level slots to upload, knowing that… Read more

Glad to know it’s not just dead in the water after those movies which gave me such mixed feelings. Unsurprised and yet still somehow disappointed to see it still looks like a PS3 cutscene. Just hoping that if by “anime” they mean TV series, they will slow down and really explore the story the way it deserves, unlike… Read more

But it looks like this came from GameStop, yes? So this might as easily have landed in a store as it did to be shipped to an online customer. Read more

The Wii U has been a sad tale for me. I bought one late last year, and, for all its admitted shortcomings it became my daily driver system. Smash, Mario…I have loved them. I’ve used backward compatibility to revisit missed Wii titles, used Virtual Console to play great classics, touchscreen interfacing to easily… Read more

Not in Smash Bros. I know I could beat them if they were on the couch with me, I just KNOW it! Read more

I really don’t think it’s the end of the world as far as a choice for mobile graphics go. The non-gamer who might be eyeballing this FFVI they’ve heard so much about might not feel as great about sharp, blocky 16-bit graphics as you or I do. But to release this to Steam? That’s extremely disheartening. The gentlest… Read more

Not a ps4 owner myself, but I'd pay $15 for Mark of Kri or (because I was enamored by the commercials but never got to play it) Dark Cloud. I wouldn't be caught dead paying $15 for GTA III though. It's available elsewhere and at too often, too competitive prices. They need a little more nuance in their pricing. Read more

I’ve been using the method in number 5 since 3rd grade when we inexplicably and only once had a day of cultural activities including a lesson on chop sticks and eastern calligraphy. A girl spilled ink on the floor. Read more

Probably, given I typed it on my phone :p Read more

Oh shit. I'll play anything under 6 hours. Much the same way I'll watch any movie 90 minutes or less. Read more

Tl;dr: I own but never played To The Moon because I hypocritically can’t take RPGMaker seriously. Read more

I had never heard of him before reading this. This morning I was woken very early by my cat, so laying in bed not ready to get up but fully awake, I did a Google Image search for his work, and I really enjoyed what I found. Then, I saw that he had done something called Showa: History of Japan. This seemed very… Read more

Yeah I’m in the Christmas sales ‘14 Mario 3D World / Nintendo Land club. The former was a lot of fun and good for couch play with friends. The latter I deleted after several failed attempts to have fun with it. And nothing against Mario 3D World but hour for hour and smile for smile the game I've gotten much more… Read more

How…odd. I guess I’d always assumed the old “call Nintendo about a replacement for your broken unit” thing made enough sense. Since you can only use one per console…hm. Whatever. Read more

[Edit: you're talking 2014. Sorry. I was so excited for you I got to commenting after only reading half the post.] Read more

My earliest gaming memory, I think, was on the Arari 5200. My mother and father were divorcing due in no small part to the fact my mother was a lesbian, and I was living with her, her partner, and her partner’s two kids in a small apartment in a small suburb of a meh Ohio city. Read more

It looks so beautiful. Please remind us about it when DH publishes them in English. I don’t want to forget about this.
