Found a copy of Shenmue 2 (DC) for $35, which I was very pleased about. The thing was flawless and I don't even think the manuals were even opened. PAL or NTSC-J? PAL, I should have mentioned that first. Also bought GTA 5 and got Red Dead Redemption for free. And got ahold of a copy of Another Code...

I've been an iPhone user since the launch of the 3G, but I think I'm ready to move to Android. The combination of larger screen size and emulators just makes me want to jump ship. Hell, even if Apple put out a 5" iPhone, I think I'd be happy enough. But the 4" phone just seems tiny compare...

I have an odd obsession with the gaming hardware and not really software. I have a pile of systems hooked up all around the house, but I really don't have a huge collection of games. I'd have to take another inventory, but I believe I'm currently sitting at around 35 consoles (including handhelds), ...

Incidentally, if you're a (well-heeled) diehard fan, you can always get this very nice unofficial Eartbound Zero (Mother 1) NES cart: http://www.rosecoloredgaming.com/uploads/3/3/0/0/3300087/3664230.jpg?378 http://www.rosecoloredgaming.com/repro-games.html That site is interesting. They sell custom...

Earthbound - Nintendo eShop And if you have a Wii U, you must do the same. meh. i can play it on an emulator for half the price. It costs you $5 to play it on an emulator? And that's not the point. Nintendo has block every single opportunity to release this or any other Mother game in the US, claim...

Earthbound - Nintendo eShop

And if you have a Wii U, you must do the same.

Yeah, I don't think I could be less interested interested in this game. I loaned my PS3 to a friend so he could play through it, and the trophies he earned are the closest I'll ever come to playing it.

Problem with the Retron 5 is that it uses Android to emulate the games . So while it allows for a lot of cool features like save-stating and graphic filtering, it also means it might have the limitations of Android emulation, like sound and button lag. Or worse, games that don't work at all. We won'...

If MS had said their xboxone was BC and cost $100 dollars more, then I would have stuck with the xbox brand. If Microsoft had said the XBOne was going to cost $600, I'm pretty sure most people would have told them to go fuck themselves. BC wouldn't sell the system at that price, it would completely...

Look, we can argue the point all day, but it all boils down to a choice. Either Sony could move to a better architecture to increase their both their mainstream and indie catalog. Or they could buck the trend and make their system less accessible to developers in order to preserve PS3 functionality,...

The other thing about backwards compatibility is that we are coming up on the 8th generations of consoles, but with the exception of the PS2 (and leaving out handhelds), only the 7th generation had BC. And it didn't even last the entire generation. PS3 dropped BC about the 3rd year in, the 360 only ...

that's a very serious problem. How so? It might be an inconvenience that in three decades time the only way to play Uncharted is by dusting off an old PS3 (although I honestly don't think that will be the case), but I don't see how it's a "very serious problem". That's a serious problem i...

Phoenix Wright is the best series ever and Phoenix Wright 5 will easily be worth the cost of a 3DS. I have beaten all 5 of them at least twice (not including the Miles Wdgeworth spinoff) and plan to do it again with the HD remake. This game will be amazing and you should buy a 3DS now just to prepar...

Microsoft just announced the retraction of every bad decision they made. It can now play used games, doesn't require Internet, and, most surprisingly, is now region free.

Nintendo's conference was easily the weakest this year. Yeah, Smash Bros will probably be cool, and DKC will probably be alright, but the rest was not that exciting. Mario World 3D is nowhere near the game I wanted. I was hoping for another huge and exciting game like Galaxy, not a 3DS port. Watchin...

No they won't. They will be 4K HD remakes just ready to be bought again!

I already have a Wii U, and I put down $100 on a PS4 preorder today. I know that somewhere down the road I'll probably get an Xbox One, but not for a very long time.

Oh, they also announced the PS4 will be region free. So that's kind of a big deal.
