• Konami to "dissolve" Hudson Soft

• rock27gr 17/01/2012

  Why dissolve it? Surely keeping the core team as part of Konami and keeping the name makes more sense. Sort of like Team Ninja is part of Tecmo. Reply +4

  This! Do it in a timely fashion on the WiiU with a release schedule of 1.5 years between each title. Should be a roaring success. Reply 0

• No left-handed mode in Skyward Sword

• rock27gr 18/10/2011

  I also am left handed. However, I find it harder controlling a character (i.e. using the analogue stick) with my right hand, than controlling the pointing in Metroid Prime 3 with my right hand.
  
  I would expect the same would apply for Zelda. Reply +3

  Surely you mean Mario RPG? Paper Mario was a N64 game. Reply 0

  3D SNES games were shown? When was that? Reply +1

  Cheers Dan, that sounds much more logical.
  
  So the mother stopped them having an abortion, and they ended up with an unwanted child at their teen years.
  
  Someone should have taught them about birth control methods. Reply +1

• PES 2012: control two players at once

• rock27gr 21/07/2011

  This was possible on the Wii since you can control the ball player with the Analogue stick and the second player with the Remote pointer.
  
  But using two analogue sticks and button compo to do the same; sound impossible to be honest. Reply 0

• Nintendo: Mario has forgotten his roots

• rock27gr 16/06/2011

  I don't see them ever surpassing Super Mario World to be honest.
  
  And they don't seem to be even trying. NSMB was based on the original, and this new 3D Mario seems to be a mixture of Mario 3 and Mario 64.
  
  It's like they too know this truth. Reply +3

• 3DS eStore Games Roundup

• rock27gr 13/06/2011

  @Jonsaan
  
  Sure, but having ALL DSi games be more expensive than some Xbox Live gems is ridiculous. Plus, What's with the $ to £ conversion? Nintendo are at fault here, no two ways about it. Reply +8

• Only one Wii U controller per console

• rock27gr 09/06/2011

  I wonder if the WiiU controller is fed the screen signal by a dedicated second GPU within the WiiU, which could be the issue here about not being able to feed two of them.
  
  But the 3DS idea isn't half bad, though they should allow for DS regular to be used too. Reply +5

• rock27gr 30/03/2011

  Hmmm, reading the original article thus is going to be a boxed release. So £35. Too expensive when the same game can be had for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. Reply 0

  So is this going to be the ultimate edition then? Reply 0

• Sony: exclusives hold back the industry

• rock27gr 19/02/2011

  DVD players may have been a unified standard, but look at the VHS-BETAMAX before it, and BLURAY vs HD-DVD after.
  
  Not to mention all the other video formats in-between, like Laser-disks and VCDs!
  
  The only difference with gaming is that the technology cycle is faster, 5 years instead of 10-15, and that platform owners are also strong publishers supporting their respective platforms and hence make more than one commercially viable. Reply +1

• Nomura: Forget FF Versus XIII for now

• rock27gr 25/01/2011

  "Interestingly, the game has a realtime event system that seamlessly transitions attacks and other gubbins into the flow of gameplay. Examples given include a plane crashing into the road and a beast attacking when Noctis reaches a bridge."
  
  That doesn't sound like real time to me. More like prescribed events. Reply +5
