The DS FPS games that used touch were painful on my hands. I agree with this point as well and think it spells doom for the Kid Icarus reboot unless Nintendo decides to make it use the optional circle pad. I'd also add that the Stylus controlled DS Zelda's were ...
Pushmo is just so good. Maybe the best game I've played this year. Zelda: OoT isn't mentioned in the list, probably because it is a port from yesteryear, but playing that game with the circle pad made it so clear to me why I love dedicated portable gaming systems. I ...
Some good thoughts. I think it is also comparable to the Atari 2600 days. Glut of content pushed prices down and eventually were a big part of the collapse. The rebuilding came through Nintendo's curated and controlling approach. Right now we have both open and controlling going on in the ...
Notably the initial sales of the top-selling 3DS software first 2 days sold quite a bit better than the best of the Vita software. Professor Layton broke 100K units in the first 2 days of the 3DS launch and Nintendogs was 65K. I strongly believe the initial 3DS software was ...

I thought part of the definition of indie was not making the game for someone else, especially a corporation platform holder . Maybe it's just the usage of indie that seems strange to me. It sounds like advice for small game studios, which I guess doesn't sound as cool as ...
I'm pretty sure Fluidity was out too late last year to be considered, it should be at least an honorable mention this year. I'm guessing Pushmo currently rated above Mario Land 3D as the number one rated 3DS game on Metacritic 91 came out too late as well Otherwise it ...
Playing through Rayman now, so far few hours I think it is very over-rated. It's good b/c of the co-op, and I really like the art, but the game play hasn't hooked me. It lacks the precision of NSMB Wii in controls and the empowering freedom of Mario's moves . ...
I think this has to do with the target for the device. This is an accessory that isn't required, but one that core gamers are likely to want. Core gamers are more likely to buy at GameStop than at Target/Walmart/etc. So it makes a lot of sense that the device, ...
