Is it wrong that my eyes ignored Yakuza in the title, and thought that the Dark Souls sequel was announced?

I love RE4, and I think it's awesome they can squeeze a game of that size into something so small... but is that really a game that needs to be taken with you? It's not exactly bite size.

If anything, I think playing a game designed to make you fear and kill what look like normal people going about their day would be a bad idea to take with you on that train/bus commute. A lot of those folks are scary in the first place.

@Premature ejaculation man

I'm sure he did. We all love you for heroically lowering women's expectations!

@Pete207

That is often true, but I can attest that many old games, especially from the SNES, hold up remarkably well. Instead of designing games that the tech couldn't support, they used their limitations to set their boundaries, and got really creative within that space.

Not to sound like a retro-nut (I still love new games), but I find it refreshing to play them in between the bigger releases. This generation especially, the contrast to games that knew what they were about is downright educational.

@SlurmsMcK

I think you're ignoring that this is a long running, well-beloved franchise. And if, as you say, XIII has been bashed widely and repeatedly, then there is at least a good amount of people who felt it was a misstep, and don't want to see its mistakes repeated.

I think you'll hear less about it if there's a XV (or whatever) that is well received, as it would wash away a lot of the bad will. Of course, if it's bad, especially in similar ways, it could make people even angrier at XIII for being the beginning of the end.

Except for those who argue that X was the beginning of the end.

Or VII.

At least we can feel comfortable that VI is awesome. No one hates VI, right?

@Ospov

Yeah, I would be all over this if I didn't have the Zelda Collector's disc with Majora on it for the Gamecube (and totally playable on the Wii).

But I like the pick all the same. It indicates that Nintendo is fronting really quality titles for these VC picks.

@Foetoid

Whoa, no trolling, really. Not even sure where anyone is getting that.

I tried to make a dumb joke about gold paint being applied to something that one uses in his hand, though it came out a lot dumber than I intended. I'm just going to point at the time stamp on my comment and beg off for being sleep-deprived.

Sorrry to have bothered anyone.

This is really great looking, and would probably match my Zelda Wiimote.

But then I think about playing some waggle-heavy entry with my newly painted controller that forces me to swing my hands (already unfavorable on the palm to sweat ratio) like a crazy person...

At least Midas' golden palms didn't reek of paint fumes.

It would be neat if someone actually put this all together and found out that Nintendo had actually been writing them all in messages form the whole history of the franchise.

And then I hope they find a secret message, carved into the Temple of Time's archway that reads "Join the Nintendo Fun Club today!"

@DBuckEye

Completely agree. Not only do all of those interruptions happen (representing about 1/100th of the actual number of times she bothers you), but the comic is so long that reading through them all actually evokes the impatience I had whenever she popped up to say something.

Didn't make me laugh, but I might have to vote for it on principle, as a true-to-life art piece or something.
