DsiderI'm not for or against this particular method, I just found it interesting. I'm also pleased by his inspiration for this approach. You'll always have a home with me, Vita!
Most people probably don't consider themselves early adopters unless they're really excited about that newest black box that lets you play games. Dedicated fans, gadget enthusiasts, that kinda thing. But there are other considerations, too. Like, how many games are out for the thing? How much do they cost? How much time can you spend playing said games?
DsiderWhat a fuckin surprise. I understand the flaws in the game, but it was a great premise with potential, something that could have been refined with time.
Looks like there won't be any more Remember Me. Dontnod Entertainment—the developer for the Capcom-published action game—has filed for bankruptcy, according to various French video game news sites. The timing's a bit weird, as Remember Me has just been announced as one of the games that PlayStation Plus members will get for free in February.
DsiderI see what he did there
Articles about how to fix Nintendo are doomed. Doomed. If articles about 'how to fix Nintendo' do not follow this advice immediately, there might not be any more 'how to fix Nintendo' articles.
Here's where embarassing corporate backpedalling is a good thing: according to The Verge, the next update for Windows 8 will see every machine boot straight to the desktop mode by default. You know, like we used to, in the good old days.
DsiderBREAKING NEWS: If you want to play third-party games on a Nintendo console... you're gonna have a bad time.
Warner Bros. has reportedly cancelled all upcoming DLC for Batman: Arkham Origins. Seems the poor Wii U just can't catch a break.
DsiderGOD WHY IS THIS SO SATISFYING TO ME
Screw touchscreens. There's something satisfying about the press of a button. The push, the give, the click, the release. You just know something's going to happen.
DsiderMaybe by the next generation of Nintendo consoles we won't have to go to such lengths to get what we want. Until then, these men are heroes.
Have you ever dreamed of playing your 3DS games on a big screen TV? I know I have. While many people are happy to play their portable at home or on the road, if given the choice, I will always choose the TV. But as 3DS can't output to a TV, I've always had to just grit my teeth and accept it—that is until now.
We've all been there: You're holding a big ol' hamburger with both hands, you bring it to your mouth to take a bite, and the whole burger falls out all over the place. But guess what, there's an "ideal" way to hold a burger. This is it.
DsiderI dunno about this one
A Japanese convenience store chain shelved plans for a foie gras boxed lunch after animal rights activists complained. The whole thing has even spawned an internet meme.
Just think, somewhere out there is a parallel universe where we all grew up watching La Légende de Zelda, a European stop-motion animation series starring this chubby, lovable hero.

A police sergeant in Osaka, Japan came under fire for repeatedly forcing subordinate officers to eat large amounts of food. The sergeant has since left the force, reports the Japanese media.
DsiderUgh... UGH. WE WANT MEWTWO.
After debuting in Brawl, the high-risk-high-reward Pokémon fighter is now confirmed to be part of the new Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U.

Persona 4 takes place in a rural town called "Inaba." And the town's train station, Yasoinaba Station, is where the game's protagonist arrives on the scene. The station is based on an actual place, and soon it will be gone forever.
DsiderUh
Kuroko's Basket is a popular manga and anime. It's one of the biggest sellers in Japan! And today is the main character's birthday. Some people are really excited.
DsiderI also wish they would send the character designers to jail.
Double Helix, who develop the sort of free-to-play Xbox One fighter Killer Instinct, have recently shared details regarding the game's next patch. Apart from a new character, it'll introduce way to punish folks who don't like to play fair.
DsiderSucks for PS4-only owners, but I've been getting the most bang for my buck ever since getting on Plus. That's really what separates it from XBLGold, even on PS4: Actually worth a shit when you're not playing multiplayer every second.
That's the power of more-or-less mandatory. Snapped by TheSixthAxis during the Vita Slim reveal event, Sony UK boss Fergal Gara presents a graph demonstrating how PlayStation Plus subscriptions have tripled since the launch of the PlayStation 4, which requires the service for most online play.

Here's a quite unique Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles redesign, made by DeviantART artist Ancorgil. They've all changed... a lot, especially Raphael. Now, something like "Adult Mutant Ninja Turtles" would fit a lot better.
Dsider...Wow, Kratos' voice. I had no idea he was supposed to sound like a grizzled veteran, and not... Yugioh, without the cards (or heart of said cards). That was a pleasant surprise.

DsiderI'm so angry and scared right now.
This year looks to be Nintendo's toughest. Nintendo, however, is looking to change that. Respected Japanese newspaper Nikkei reports that within this year, Nintendo apparently plans to use smartphones to win back gamers. Well, kind of.
DsiderThis would only be a bad thing if even one of those characters is an annoying little shit that you'd just as likely kill by your own hand to be rid of. Otherwise, this is basically what happens to me with most Fire Emblem games anyway.
Natural Doctrine, the first internally developed title from Kadokawa Games, is a strategy RPG. A hardcore strategy RPG since you get kicked to a game over screen if even one character falls in battle.

Dsider1. Cooler than the actual games, but
2. Actually helps illustrate how convoluted the plot is
3. Dunno if I will ever get over those wasted character designs
This might be the coolest thing Square has done in a decade—instead of just making a boring ol' story recap video for Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2, they made one in the style of Final Fantasy VI for Super Nintendo.
DsiderJesus, those voices. Thank god for language options in this one.
Danganronpa still looks like one to keep on your radar if you like games like Phoenix Wright and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. New trailer right here. (It's out for Vita on February 11.)

Better watch out with those Skyrim mods. If you're not careful you could end up with a glitched skeleton with Hatsune Miku hair. On the other hand, this opens up a whole new category in the catalog of terrifying, modded Dovakhiins.
Dsider"We are now sure that we can solve the technical problem of displaying Virtual Console software from Nintendo DS on the GamePad."
GOD FINALLY
Last night was the night that Nintendo told investors—and the world—how they're going to meet the challenges they're facing.
DsiderLooks like I'm finally playing Remember Me next month.
February brings another six free games to Playstation Plus subscribers, including Outlast on the Playstation 4 and Metro: Last Light on the Playstation 3. A wide variety of genres are represented, and what's more, it's a selection of quality games you probably didn't play already- perfect choices for the service.
DsiderThis game is working so very hard for my affections.
The sub-boss battle music from Bravely Default: Flying Fairy is some of the most hilariously over-the-top JRPG battle music I've ever heard. From 1:50 to the loop-around, it's... it's like composer Revo built a giant robot out of DragonForce members, gave it a Red Bull and told it to perform three lead guitar parts at once. (Not complaining.)
DsiderNOOOOOOOOOO SHRUNK
The iconic axolotl — a salamander-like creature capable of extraordinary regenerative abilities — has disappeared from its only known natural habitat in Mexico's few remaining lakes.
