I don't think this is what the box art will be like. It's waaaaaaay too similar to the Wii's current form. Even the DS and 3DS packaging is differentiated by black vs. white cases.
If this is what the Wii U art scheme looks like, I'd expect the case itself to at least be light blue in color, to compliment the Wii U logo. We'll see in just a couple of days.
Just checked the article. This is a rumor based off of - I shit you not - the number of spaces used on "hidden" items from the Wii U Facebook page.
This just goes to show that no one around here RTFA. This should never have been approved as written.
It's in the article - http://www.gamecritics.com/...
It's not an issue as to whether the game was good or not - it's the fact that a game is going around calling itself "Game of the Year" when only a single source awarded it the title in a sea of publications that did not.

Not a single JRPG on there. I think that makes it pretty damn niche.
I think you're missing the point. Raw numbers do not equate to popularity. You have to use comparative numbers to say that the JRPG isn't more than a niche genre here in the states.
There was a time - the 16 an 32 bit era to be precise - when the JRPG was king. They had multiple blockbuster titles, but that just isn't the case anymore.
Also, I'd be curious to see this list of RPGs that Nintendo has personally localized this generation. The...
Did you read the review?
This is one of those games that I hope is available to download on the Vita sometime down the line since I don't have a PSP and don't plan on getting one anytime soon. (will be getting the Vita day one though).
I think the title and description paint the picture of a serious comparison when the content isn't. A more "fun" title would have helped to assuage the angry mob above.
The story may be short, but it's a fantastic deal. PSN + members get this at $8 and it doesn't require you to have even played infamous 2. Fantastic.
I had a feeling this wasn't going to be pretty.
But remember, online multiplayer is enabled for another Sony Collection - The Ratchet and Clank Collection has online multiplayer for Up Your Arsenal.
If this is a similar collection (like inFAMOUS, God of War and the aforementioned Ratchet and Clank) then it is totally feasible that online would be available, though admittedly unlikely since Killzone 3 is still online.
