"Monhuntertri etc it's good to see capcom is not delaying their wii games"
Except for those of us who live in North America. :/

"I would think that after the NA release of MH that a port would come out a little later for the more beefier systems."
Why is that? A port for the PSP would be cheaper, offer a higher potential install base, and would have the benefit of releasing on the system owned by most of the series's established fanbase.
"for me personally BC is a moot point"
Yes, but you're only one person, in a market of millions of people. 'Personally' has little, if anything, to do with this discussion.
"seriously guys, are next gen games just that boring?"
Well, considering that the PS2 has, for the past several years, been at the top of the list in terms of average play-time in almost every time Nielsen releases a survey, most people would say yes.
...
As long as Tatsunoko vs. Capcom's release date stays put right where it is, I can take this. I can take anything.
"push the envelope" "Lets be honest" "pushes for top notch graphics"
Dear me, now we're adopting the same meaningless buzzwords and empty linguistical double-speak as those soul-less corporate power point presentations? I fear that soon we'll have an entire generation that offers nothing but cliches.
I personally like to get the ball rolling by putting the pedal to the metal and pulling out all the stops so I can live my live on the ...
Oh, well. At least North America is still getting Muscle March.

2010's going to be an interesting year. We have all those games that balked at the idea of going up against Modern Warfare 2, and now we're getting games that are blanching at the idea of going up against the veritable tidal wave of pushed back releases. Let the good times roll.
"Not quite the caliber of GTA4"
That's a bit of an understatement. All three of those games are terrible.
"resident evils 4 and 5 are a far cry what they use to be. resident evil/biohazard just isn't the same without the zombies and creepy atmosphere."
This is a good thing. The more the series distances itself from the pre-4 era, the better.
"i miss having to ration my ammo and supplies and having to think my way through things."
Yes, and there are people who miss the days when losing all your lives at the final boss meant having to...
"Like how they gave Conduit and Madworld high praise compared to other reviewers?"
I haven't heard anything about the latter, but isn't it generally accepted that The Conduit's score probably had something to do with the fact that it included IGN personnel, including the actual reviewer, in its credits?
Apologies, Nugan. My comment wasn't actually directed at you. My comment's directed at Mr. "Heading Toward Disaster" over there, who's trying to peddle the notion that there's some doomsday coming where Nintendo's state will look like http://homepage.ntlworld.co...
when in actuality even a worst-case-scenario for Nintendo looks more like
Since you're such a huge fan of the tinfoil hat crowd over at VG Chartz, here you go.

"Gamasutra has noted this to be especially true for Nintendo as their software revenue has dropped 18% in 2009 compared to last year. They did miss an even bigger point however: Wii software sales have dropped 18%"
For the record, software revenue and software sales are not the same thing.
"They sold more software with 15 million unit sales than they did with 23 million unit sales. That’s a huge problem"
What?
...
"And no software sales? Then why are 4 to 6 of the top 10 best sellers titles each month Wii games?"
Nugan, actually referring to concrete sales number numbers outside of vague, abstract percentages is clearly not allowed around these parts.
"but its actually worse than the gamecube this doesnt even have exclusive RE games"
Game. Singular. As in, the only Resident Evil game that was actually exclusive to the 'Cube was Zero, largely because most of us would prefer to forget that it ever existed due to high levels of not-being-good. Everything else was already on or went to other systems. :/
In what way is that preferable to the two Chronicles games?
"Funny you mention crawling in my skin, you remind me of this:

So, you're saying the link between retro graphics and the emo subculture is that you have a ytmnd link featuring a goth playing the Wii? I don't follow.
"BTW I agreed with you just so you don't get as offended as the rest of the guys. 8^B"
...What?
&q...
1.13: No offense, but I can't help but notice that nowhere in that stirring defense against the apparently nefarious forces of Nintendo aligned against you do you provide an actual explanation for your assertion that cartoony 8-bit graphics have something to do with a subculture based around angst and depression and crawling in my skin these wounds will not heal.
"I love how all the Nintendo fanboys were so quick to reply with aggression"
Uh, what does Nintendo have to do with any of this? Megaman 10 is in all likelihood going to be on all the download systems.
All I was asking was where you're getting the idea that cartoony 8-bit sprites = emo. Being emo is all about black hues and nihilistic angst and junk. Colorful sprites are the antithesis of that sort of mindset.
"Maybe I should just st...
"an audience with emo tastes fosters the proliferation retro production values"
....What? 8-bit graphics have about as much to do with being emo as those silly pictures of cats do. The game's style would only appeal to emo tastes if if were covered in black lip gloss, whined about how the world is, like, totally full of suffering man, and featured a soundtrack by My Chemical Romance.
I like Sega and everything, but, uh, they really shouldn't be acting like they're some sort of sage on how to make money in the hardware market.
