personally, Prime is an awesome game but I like other M better. I believe if it wasn't for the storage limitation on the DL disc, Other M would have been a mater piece. My only complaint with Other M, is the lack of hidden corridor/and diverse weaponry, and the level of difficulty was set low, is what brought the appeal factor down a lot. I hope Nintendo would put in the hearts to make both styles of Metroids to please gamers on both sides.

every console/hand held ever released sales successfully when it first comes out; which is nothing new. Now for those who bought the 3DS during the honeymoon stage, will spread the word to their families and friend; which determines the success of a console/ hand held in the long run. So being that the 3DS lack the games, they will have to do what ever it takes to make the 3DS a success simply because people won't forget the bad experience they had with the 3DS; which could make 3DS owner...

I can see why Microsoft hired Metroid designers to help with the next Halo...they have some of the best reflective textures....
Halo visor and suit is going to look awesome. as for the kill zone game development team they will most likely handle the game play mechanics and environments and character models.
Retro would help of course..... I'd really like to see things works out....

Death is not a Joke guys....

Anyhow, She might have been under a lot stress and was using the xbox as a stress reliever.

So I guessing the xbox wasn't enough....to aide her.

Pricing the Wii U at $300 might sound responsible
but sailing the Wii U for 50 bucks more than the Wii might give people the wrong impression. So, Pricing something strategically can used a business tactic to make people think something is more valuable when it really isn't. So pricing the Wii U at 300(50 buck more than the Wii U) may have people wondering is the Wii U is worth getting if him or her don't see the value in the product.

Pricing the Wii U at $300 only going to happen if Nintendo is willing to take a lost on each Wii U console sold.

I have said this a 1000 times on several post" Nintendo need to hire new talents and start a new gaming division in order to divide the work load on their in house game development team". That said, the evidence clearly shows that Nintendo game development team can't handle the work load if they are struggling with current projects like kid icarus uprising. Now Sony Vita in my opinion is going to be better supported than the 3DS simply because they ...

Well Sony had the advantage over Nintendo because Sony manufacture all of their computer parts, which would substantially would make it cheaper to sale the Vita on the market. Nintendo on the other hand,have to purchase all of their parts to make the 3DS; which would make it expensive to sale it on the market. In addition, Nintendo would also be limited to how much they can put in to a gaming device with out going over board with the manufacture cost. In other words, Sony can give a little mo...

Despite that the price of the 3DS wasn't reasonable; Nintendo just don't have enough talent under their roof to crack out enough games. This, of course, is Nintendo main problem, and if they continue to rely on 3rd party game developer to make the 3DS a success, the 3DS is going to fail. Not to mention, how long it taking Nintendo to finish kid icarus uprising which is a letdown to those who have already purchased the 3DS.

Well that depend on how well the Nintendo Wii U grab the hardcore gamers attention. Now I believe the nintendo Wii U will most likely be a hit in the beginning; but to make it successful in the long run, Nintendo need to follow in the same footstep as Microsoft and Sony did, and buy out a least 1 or 2 gaming company to assure that they have enough games in development. That all Nintendo have to do to make the Wii U a success.Beside, isn't that what makes or break a gaming console???

Cause uncle SAM what his cut too

Just give me a powerful and reliable system and new gaming experiences and I will be fine.

Sorry, I did not explain my well.

So here goes...well, what I meant to say is..would it make any sense if game developers try to compared the Wii U to the nextbox/PS4 if it was technically more advanced than the Wii U by 6 years. How do you think most gamer would react? Probably the same way(Wii U compared to PS3/360)

So, lets say if the nextbox/PS4 was announced and it was scheduled to be released next year; and then a game deve...

The quality of gaming music hasn't gone down but the likable melodies/and the pursuit of making a theme for a particular game has gone down a lot. That said, I haven't heard a musical track that was captivating to me since the SNES days. Hope that will change someday.

No sound on the video...sucks

I understand where you coming from but you just don't compare a 6 year old technology(PS3/360) with a NEXT GEN console....And,The fact that they comparing the Wii U with the PS3/360 means the Wii U is nothing more than an slight upgrade compared to the 360/pS3 counterparts.
And, of course, I m getting tired of hearing statement that are not consistence with statements like the Wii U is 50% more powerful than the 360/PS3; and then a few days later down the line we hear that the wii...

I agree...Mario 64 did bring something new to the gaming world; but compared to more experienced game developers like Sega/Namco/konami etc Nintendo did not even stand a chance; because at the time when the 3d era first began
back in the 80's Nintendo only knew how to do sprite games.And so, Nintendo then hired ANGEL STUDIOS to teach them how do use 3d application to make 3 dimensional games.
