You are correct. Super Mario Bros 2 was released but only in Japan. It is referred to as "The Lost Levels" everywhere else. It was decided by Nintendo that Super Mario 2 was too "difficult" for the American gaming audience at that time.

So Nintendo just added the Super Mario characters to a different platformer and released it in the US.

All of these people above me should be should be reported except for Skerj. They don't even comment on the article. Which is actually a good article and just try and cause some sort of fight. It really is sad.

to put the Metroid sequel on the Gameboy. Although I always counted Super Metroid on Snes as the true sequel. And there isn't an older boxing game around the same time period as NES that can beat the original Mike Tyson's Punchout.

I thought Strider 2 was good though, even thought the original is still far better in my book.

I do have Nintendo DS...and yes they do have good RPGs. I also am looking forward to to Contra 4. But this article is about 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii...

Do you see the difference??

and games catalog Xbox 360 is a good deal. It has been out far longer than both the PS3 and the Wii. A lot of the older released games from last year can now be bought at bargain prices.

Not to mention Mass Effect is just on the horizon. I am an RPG fan...and the 360 has a decent selection this year...Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Mass Effect, and also Lost Odyssey is coming out just after Christmas. Both other consoles do not have a good line-up of RPGs coming out this year...

if Hellgate wasn't on it. I am a 360 fan and even I think that Ratchet or Uncharted are better games than that. Being a long time PC fan I think Hellgate is average at best.

I think it is funny how everyone accuses you of having multiple accounts. The only 2 people I know of that do are Lightning and Shmee/Nasim.

the 360 and Wii do have more "well known" IP's this year to push console sales. Halo and Mario are industry top sellers.

I'm not saying that PS3 doesn't have any games. It just doen't have the "well known" IP's coming out until next year. New IP's are a good thing but aren't usually console pushers like the heavy hitters.

Mass Effect is going to be something special. The original KOTOR is one of my favorite RPGs to date. Jade Empire was also good. I have a feeling they won't let me down.

You were right. I put the better video first. And added the poorer quality vid to the embed. The game looks really good. It even looks like Ubisoft has beefed up the combat system.

bring back fond memories. Who could forget the first time they ever encountered Octoroks, Tectites, and Leevers. The original Legend of Zelda was truly a groundbreaking game.

The Zelda games have always been synonimous with quality. Normally they take more than 2 years to develop. I think Crossbow Training is just a quirky side project.

I would bet that Miyamoto had little to no involvement with the title. I am pretty confident that Miyamoto wouldn't let a game be released with the Zelda branding on it unless it was quality.

Miyamoto: "A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is always bad"

is nothing but a thorn in the side of the video game industry. Just like Pachter.

and bubble for you. I also think that Disney is playing everyone. THey are supporting Blu ray as well as XBLM.

And I also agree that the install base is what dictates everything. It must also be noted though that the install base of the standalone market is the one that is important. These consumers are guaranteed to buy HD movies. Most people that own PS3s do not buy HD movies. There was an article posted on N4G before that it is less than 13%.

I am not suprised to see Super Mario Galaxy at No 1 spot. I am also glad to see that Mass Effect is on the list.Mass Effect is going to be something really special for RPG fans this year. Bioware hasn't let me down yet.

It is also nice to see Assassin's Creed as well as Call of Duty 4 on the list. Those are definately all top pics to me.

will not be only a clearance sale for the old A-2 units, but will also feature the A-3. This is one of the really big pushes that HD DVD is giving for the holidays.

And for all the people touting 1080P. I good HDTV can deinterlace the signal form to 1080i so it really isn't a big deal. Not to mention it is really hard to spot the difference bw 1080P and 1080i until you start getting into televisions that are 60 inches or larger. On a smaller TV most people couldn't see the ...

We all heard the talk, that the Cell processor would wipe away all before it. Of course anyone with any knowledge of this kind of technology would see it for what it is, more Sony bullshit. Remember the PS2?

1000 times the power of any PC. 66Gb/s of memory bandwidth. Toy Story graphics in real time. And such & such.

The same kind of outrageous claims w...

The PS3s fill rate is about half that of the 360, not to mention the memory is crippled. Coders cant even write anything to "main" memory. Also, the PS3 only has "one" core with 7 SPU's not 7 cores. A Core and an SPU are different things. The PS3 is horribly bottlenecked. That is why PS3 games usually look washed out, or have frame rate problems.

It is not optimal for game code. That is why the Cell was rejected by Apple and the entire PC industry. It w...

PS3 sales have definately increased in the UK. However on a worldwide basis 360 is currently outselling PS3 by a large margin. Over 300,000 consoles a month. We shall see what happens next month with the PS3 having it's pricedrop in NA also, should be interesting...

I couldn't use the "original" source anymore. It failed approval bc it had SPAM reports and duplicate reports which were all false. Sony fanboys just didn't want this news to get out.....here is the proof
