The game may be good or bad, but I seriously don't get the appeal of Sonic and Mario together. They're games were just too different for them to be in any way combinable. It's like if they came out with a game that teamed up Simon Belmont with Crash Bandicoot.
How on Earth did the company believe your photos belonged to them? How did you respond? I find this story to be absurdly interesting. I mean, how do you fight a company that says "Yeah, your photos are ours."? Can you tell us more of / the rest of the story please?
On an unrelated note, newegg has Metroid pinball for 18 bucks. To anyone out there who has it, would you recommend it?
I recommend it. It's a fun little pinball game and if nothing else you'll get the Rumble Pak with the game for free which I believe sells for $10-$15 by itself. It took me about 2 weeks to unlock all the secrets and get the high score on each table, but the Rumble Pak has come in handy for other games.
Yah you're completely right, before when a giant pink eating machine on 2 feet would charge me, I would hesitate before firing up my chainsaw and going to work... now it's just second nature...
Who cares what the box looks like? With so many godawful games out there, how can anyone look at the box and use that in their buy/no-buy decision?
Back in the old days we couldn't look up new games online because there was no online. There were no console game demos. All we had were word-of-mouth, the occassional magazine, and the game box itself.
... that I'm going to be spending $10 more per game for significantly less playtime and replay value? Next console games are supposed to be $60 and Nintendo is expecting everyone to pay more for less gametime?
Keep living the pipe dream, Nintendo. Your hardware days are numbered.
Nintendo has never said they plan to raise prices in the next generation. As of now only Xbox 360 games have a confirmed price hike. And at Nintendo's E3 press conference they stated that one of the attractive things about Revolution is that it is a low-cost development platform.
Nintendo knows that development is becoming more expensive and that many companies are feeling the effect of that. I'd be shocked if Nintendo raised prices.
Marie: "What is a DVD player?" Ray: "C'mon, not now, Ma, please." Marie: "Is it for pornography?" Debra: "Yes, Marie, I got Ray a porn machine." Marie: "I don't like that, Debra."
The movies are canon. Just because you don't like an episode or movie doesn't mean that you can just blitz it from Trek history. If people could do that then there would be no Trek canon at all.
Zefram Cochrane started out on Earth, building and launching his warp ship (the Phoenix) on April 5, 2063 at a missile complex in Bozeman, Montana. It was only later in life at the age of 87 that he moved to Alpha Centauri.

Of all the nextgen things to reveal, did it have to be football? Show me a shooter, show me a platformer, show me a flight sim, show me anything but sports.
When was the last time you got a console that included a game?
Well, aside from the NES the Super NES originally came packed with Super Mario World and later Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World and, even later, Donkey Kong Country. The Game Boy is legendary for coming with Tetris. The last Nintendo console to come packed with a full version of a game at launch was the Virtual Boy in 1995. It came packed with Mario's Tennis. The Nintendo DS comes with a demo of Metroid Prime Hunters.
Nowadays the GameCube comes with various games as part of a push to sell the systems, i.e. The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition or Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. When it was first released it came with nothing.
As much trouble as the John Q. Slashdot-Stereotype seems to have becoming part of a relationship, it floors me how there can be people out there in relationships who let their love die because Half-Life and Halo get in the way. Anyone who prefers playing games all the damn time to actually spending time with a loving woman (or man, depending on your gender and/or orientation) doesn't deserve to be in a relationship.
If it were possible I'd mod your post up into triple digits. The style over substance kind of thing is the attitude that is wounding gaming today, and unfortuately it's only going to get worse. Let them have their glitzy games; I'll be having fun with my GameCube.
I'm suddenly reminded of the Dilbert comic where Dogbert explains that he has patented "zero-click shopping" and that if Dilbert doesn't click the mouse soon, Dogbert will have to ship him some books.

That depends. Who is your daddy and what does he do?

I'm-a gonna sit here and enjoy it. And Ghost Dad is the best movie I've seen since Leonard Part 6.
You leave Kirby alone!

I've been using my Logitech Wingman and it works just fine. Much more fun that way, too!
No, there is another.

Um, what was the question?
Marie: "What is a DVD player?"
Ray: "C'mon, not now, Ma, please."
Marie: "Is it for pornography?"
Debra: "Yes, Marie, I got Ray a porn machine."
Marie: "I don't like that, Debra."
Such is the price of having Mario Kart months before your non-E3 friends.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door sends Bowser through renditions of levels from the original Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario All-Stars is an obvious answer, kind of.
Mario Kart Super Circuit includes the tracks from Super Mario Kart.
F-Zero X includes Super Mario Kart's Rainbow Road track.
Super Mario RPG includes a Donkey Kong-inspired challenge.

Aw, screw it.
Wake me up when Tiger Woods PGA Tour is more fun than Mario Golf.
