According to IGN, Konami cancelled a bunch of stuff: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/754/754307p1.html Not new Action Adventure Game 2 *and* Role Playing Game! Noooo!

aka the game that sends Anya into long geekgasms

Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection

Quick question about XBox Live Arcade games...

I'd rather the Wii get an update for Mii creation rather than have to buy a game for it.

The official company line is that the new xbox is something that they're "researching" and isn't anything resembling a finished product yet. Which could be just BS PR speak for "will be announced a few months from now at the latest." MS patently denied any plans in a larger hard drive, but considering the expected size of GTAIV DLC, I expect they'll appear in time for that. Companies always stammer, lie, and cover up information about upcoming products when that info is leaked.

Is there a "clean pause" in the Gamecube version? You know, a real pause and not just go to the submenu/item list?

The "cheap" 360 has the hidden cost of a memory card, which runs 50-60 bucks, and without the hard drive it has no capability of playing xbox games. There's a good reason it's called a Tard Pack. It's 100 bucks cheaper, but the value is awful. PS3's backwards compatibility kind of sucks next to PS2 (rumbleless games all, less games work, and certain key PS2 games look like ass), but at least you play them on either SKU. The "new" 360 has a bunch of extra holes in it, but honestly I don't think it will matter save for tech geeks. We're still a ways away from those "cooler running" processors still, right? Supposedly late '07 on that, from what I heard.

No, it was always billed at $199, hence the BS Sony price comparison charts saying the 360 costs more in the long run.

Yeah, for the moment. KH3 on Wii is less exciting than the possibility of KH + Nintendo worlds, though.

Well, it isn't confirmed yet..and you're probably looking at 2008 for it at the earliest.

Wireless nunchuck is pointless. I'd drop the damn thing all the time, and you'd pretty much have to tack on ANOTHER wrist strap. Better idea: either a Wavebird with a better dpad and rumble, or an iteration of the Classic controller that doesn't need to be chained to the Wiimote and works for Gamecube games. Awesome.

That's a million times better than Urban Champion. Hardcore Gaming 101's webmaster would be pleased to see Soldier Blade: http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sta...starsoldier.htm Streets of Rage--oh, gee, really Sega? You finally realized people like this series? 8 bucks is pricey but at least it's coming. Comix Zone - I own it like 3 times over. The rest suck. I think SoR is the only one that isn't shovelware from Sega Genesis Collection, though. EDIT: Okay, as Thoth said, 3 of them are shovelware from SGC. You still suck donkey balls, Sega. Nintendo, your VC pricing sucks harder, though. There's very few 1st party Genesis games worth 8 bucks, let along Genesis games period.

How does one not know of it was PS2 or 360? PS2 or Xbox I can buy...but just on the basis of recency...

Nintendo needs to make up for the crappy New Year's lineup, and Kid Icarus, Kirby and others on the ESRB site haven't seen release yet. There's no excuse for a week to go by without something half-decent.

Sadly, the cables will probably cost as much or more than what you could get out out the system regularly. Ah yes, the endless cycle of football video games at retail: Game is purchased, game drops in price like a rock, new version is released, old one becomes worthless. I remember once upon a time when people seriously talked about how this was a doomed practice. In the future this won't be necessary! For a nominal fee, you'll be able to pay for a roster update! The games will always be ready with the newest changes! And much later, we have the technology, but...it's being used for EA to sell us content that's already on the disc. Ah, how naive people can be. Don't pretty much all the games provide you with enough player creation/trading options that one should be able to keep things up to date, though? It didn't stop 6 million North Americans from buying the last Madden, natch.

Out of the original Genesis systems, the Genesis 3 (and if you count it, the Nomad) is the only one that still fetches a nice buck in the secondary market. Genesis 1 and 2 are common as dirt, and there's not much demand. On the other hand, all versions of the NES and SNES are still sought by folks. If you had the cables, I'd say give it a away to a local thrift shop or something. However, sometimes local legacy game shops will take them since they probably have lots of extra cables. However, only hit them up if you are going to be there anyway.

Apparently Nintendo is publishing it. They really should know better. That's the Japan version. US version, I believe, is being published by Eidos.

I loved it too; check the Cosplay thread. Preordering Justice For All at EB or Gamestop gets you a special AWESOME POINT stylus. So I did. Does it fit in the DS Phat? If not, I can pass, as I already have the big pen stylus. It's not worth Gamestop's ridiculous 5 dollar premium for the *honor* of purchasing a DS game at Gamestop. You can get the original PW at Toys 'R Us for 20 bucks now--you might even be able to pre-order Justice For All, too.

So at this point...Ebay could be used to look for PS3s at...a good price? Imagine that.

The extremely terrible Necro-Nesia has been announced for a US release. As "Escape from Bug Island." Some 1-up guys give the lowdown on the Jpn version: http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/8021

Hehe, yeah, that was really cool. Midna is such a great character. Even thinking about comparing her to Tatl/Navi or even Issun seems like a sad joke.

Gyakuten Saiban 4 trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiPwIGqxhdc&NR Despite the poster's comments, this isn't for the Wii, but rather for the DS. It's the newest game in the series of titles we know as Pheonix Wright, but Pheonix isn't the main character.. But we'll probably see it here in some form.

Just posting to say--that's awesome. 2 month-ish to go.

Thing is a bit pricey for my tastes, but as far as I know it's only available in one configuration (60 GB/ $249, right?). As someone who doesn't own an iPod (gave away the one I got for work), it's an interesting device, but I'll hardly make use of many of its features. A smaller configuration/better price would be a good value for me, mayhaps.
