Super Mario Galaxy commercial brings a tear to our eye

Oct 31st 2009 1:31AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Man that was a great ad. I wish companies would start doing ads like this instead of trying to make that post-modern stuff (see crying baby ps3 ads).

Half-Minute Hero can't rescue Quebec

As a Canadian myself, I think the whole bilingual packaging is ridiculous. From the French Canadian perspective it does not make any sense; French instructions will make little difference if the game is all in English. Moreover, when it comes to small release games like these, the people playing them will a)be the type that can find a FAQ online and b) would much rather get the game in English packaging than not at all.

From an English Canadian's perspective (mine) it's also annoying. It means that we often have to wait longer for a game to come here, it wastes paper, and (it may sound silly), but it can ruin the case itself. The bilingual instructions for FF tactics PSP, for example, were so thick that they warped the game case.

Quite simply, it's a bad idea all around that simply exists because of an overly protective and bureaucratic government.

I personally preferred momohime's story; her plot was a little more interesting and her bosses were more memorable.

Sega creating a Fanta-sy Star Portable promotion

Fanta actually seems quite popular in Japan. At first I was surprised to see that the vending machines around my apartment all carried it. I'm a fan of bad puns, so I full support this advertising campaign.

Joyswag: The Legendary Starfy prize pack [update]

I think the shirt is the best. Depending on who sees the shirt, it instantly communicates that I am:
a) A happy guy
b)a pedophile
c)a fan of the starfy series.


Note: b) was a joke, just to be clear.

Spiritual successor to Ace Attorney: Capcom's 'Ghost Trick'

I'm in favour of new IPs of sequels any day. It's good to see that such a creative person has been given a chance to explore another one of his ideas. I'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

Nintendo announces Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver for US

It's kinda strange that you're saying that, considering how similar your username is to the name of the main character of a certain animated series...
