My basset puppy decided it was a good idea to chew up my white DS3. It still works but there's bite marks all over the back. My original black DS3's battery is slowly going, so since I have a free trial of Amazon Prime, I thought I'd grab these two. I still wish there was more colour options... green, silver, or gold would be nice. Oh well!

Yesterday I learned Billie Piper was once a 90s popstar in the UK. I will never appreciate Rose Tyler the same.

Yeah, most, but not all Vita games let you take screen shots.

I still think they'd be best to announce their price and date AFTER Microsoft. Then just release it a week or two before Microsoft for a few dollars less. CONSOLE WAR OVER!

Wall Street Journal is reporting it's the PS4/Orbis.

February 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A FIRST DOCTOR PLUS ELEVENTH DOCTOR TEAM UP!?!?!? YES, DO IT.

Jojen is Paul McCartney!!!!!!

Not me..... I keep forgetting I purchased a Wii U :-/ ......

I just really want Zelda to get out of this end of console-cycle pattern they're in with Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. While I loved Skyward Sword, the lacklustre response it got was at least partly because of it being released on a system people had moved on from. If they can have the new game out holiday 2014, that'd be ideal... Three year turnaround is fairly reasonable for most developers (except Team Ico!).

I'm almost more excited for Wind Waker HD than I am for new Zelda. But maybe because new Zelda won't come out till Christmas 2014 or 2015. I'll probably be dead by that point. (You know, from a sex overdose).

TFG nailed it. The more I think about yesterday's announcements, the more I think Nintendo is getting WAY more credit than they deserve. Ocarina of Time had a ton of cut content that wasn't included for the 3DS version, so I doubt Wind Waker would get those missing dungeons as well (though, that would be cool). I've heard people say that this was bigger than the past two Nintendo E3's combined... I call bullshit. As much as I love the SMT Persona games, I, and many other North American gamers, don't give a shit about Fire Emblem. The most exciting announcement was probably the new "X" game, but they didn't even confirm if it's a sequel to Xenoblade, or give us any idea on when it'll be announced. As far new Mario, Mario Kart, and Zelda games, no screen shots, trailers, or actual details given, just that they're all in some form of development... no shit. The Yoshi game looks kind of interesting, but again, another side scrolling platformer, I've played too many of those from Nintendo in recent years. (Also, I never gave much attention to the original Kirby Yarn game, but holy crap does that Yoshi game look a lot like LittleBigPlanet.) Having to pay to essentially have your ROM copies of Super Mario Bros. and A Link to the Past played in a new emulator that allows for gamepad support, is bullshit. Nintendo needs to look at Sony. I can buy Final Fantasy VII, transfer it to my PSP and my Vita, as many times as I want, and even back it up to my computer, it also goes without saying when the Orbis is released, I'll be able to redownload it on my new system, again, free of charge. The unveiling of a Virtual Console service should have been done at E3 2012, and been available at launch or close to it. The 30 cent sales are nice, but having games on sale is something they should already be doing (and more than one at a time, again look at the PSN). /rant

I also think HD Wind Waker looks beautiful. The New Zelda comments this morning were interesting. Out of order dungeons? Awesome. Potential multi-player? Not awesome.

Sucks we have to wait for fall. It'd be nice if would just do a package of Wind Waker / Twilight Princes / maybe Skyward Sword, like the God of War/Sly/Ico/Jak collections. But it's Nintendo, so they'll probably charge full retail price for Wind Waker alone. And I'll buy it, because I'm a chump like that.

HEY! My predictions were right! Wind Waker, a GCN game is coming in HD, and the Wii U virtual console will launch with Gamepad support. Also: apparently GBA games are going to the Wii U VC (but not the 3DS?) which is a step in the right direction of getting DS games. Also also: we won't have to pay full price to transfer Wii VC console games to the Wii U part of the system. I don't get that, at all. I mean I guess it's better than paying 5 dollars for Super Metroid again but if they can track our purchases why do we have to pay again at all? Besides, you know.... greed. Surely there's not that much programming to add Gamepad support?

HD GCN/Wii virtual console games, plus virtual console games playable on Gamepad.

Ugh, the only thing worse than The Chronicles of Narnia, is things inspired by Narnia. Boo-urns.

I want that on my wall.

Pro ordered Ni No Kuni. Tuesday can't come soon enough.

Thank you!

I'M BLUBBERING LIKE A BABY! I'M NOT SURE IF THESE ARE TEARS OF JOY OR SADNESS!! A worthy end for a great series. Hats off to the Fringe team.
