I've been waiting on the 6-1 dictionary for months! Damn my Japanese DSi! Please let it get a release...

Don't get me wrong. I loved Lost Winds and I'll be getting this but it was not a 3.5 hour game. It was a 2 hour game. Also bear in mind that here in England it cost £7. For £10 I can get many full length console games in the second hand market. £5 would get me a fair variety too.

Hold on, if it's about animal rights... then what about the stadium games?

On level 5 she tells us all about autism and how to avoid it...

I really don't want facebook to get any more popular in Japan. I don't want to have to deal with friends from there too. Only one or two or them really know what it is right now.

DSiware? Please?

Yes, this is just like that. If you date a prostitute who always requires payment for sex and this particular time you are paying for a lower quality bit of sex.
Since it's underground and a lot of people thought those were the boring parts, it's somewhat closer to saying 'No thank you, I will pass on this costly and very small amount of identical or lower quality sex and just have the sex we always have and I can have any time via the magic of being able to just replay the game...." and this is where the analogy breaks down further.

Tmac, He didn't say he doesn't like those games. He said that not all of them are "holy". Are we really saying that they're all such incredible achievements of man that they should be enshrined and worshipped?
Are there really no good games which aren't "grey and dark" as you say?
Or is it, just maybe, the case that they have the same variation in quality as other types.

Yes Freedom town, there were no issues. All those complaints were just coincidence. It's just that almost everyone who bought the game on day one had a bad internet connection that magically got better. It's all a conspiracy, Shigeru Miyamoto WAS on that grassy knoll...

Well the way it's written does rather imply that it's multiplayer. "four person party".
It's hardly "rampant" speculation. Seems fairly likely.
