This is just Mark Rein's weaselly way of saying "No way in hell we're making anything for a Nintendo system." It's the same old song we've been hearing from Epic for years.

@Ericss No, it's much, much worse.

@The Tim Thank goodness, eh? (Not to say that the 3D Pac-Man cartoon was going to be any better, mind.)

That frozen frame reminds me of the new 3D Pac-Man cartoon that apparently never made it to television. Lucky us!

HB Pac-Man was pretty terrible, but it did shape the continuity of future games. Pre-Super Mario Bros. platformer Pac-Land was directly based on the cartoon, even using its theme song, and Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures was at least heavily inspired by it. So in an odd way, the cartoon helped the series evolve through the 1980s and 1990s, when storyline went from an unnecessary distraction to a key component of video games.

@Deezul AwT No fair! You altered the outcome by measuring it!

Redstone! Sumner Redstone!
He's the greediest in history!
Tried to... welch on payment!
Now he owes a hundred mill times three!

(I know, I've done the Flintstones joke before. Sheddup.)

Not as often as I should be, I'll tell you that! But I pulled my GameBoy Micro out of mothballs and intend to spend a lot of time with it. On the go, in the can, even upstairs in my room... it doesn't matter, I'll play it anywhere.

No, and never.

Silly Joystiq, the fourth dimension is time!

Anyway, my room smells of BO and desperation.

"Not as thrilling?" Feh. More like "actually playable." The console version of Mirror's Edge was a convoluted mess. A 3D platformer was a horrible idea... one that requires most of the buttons on the controller was even worse. When you take 3D out of the equation, the game becomes manageable, even fairly fun! (Although climbing up those steam vents can go right to hell.)
