The "leaked" NPD hardware numbers for the 3DS and Vita for April (and really since Christmas) are borderline disastrous, with the Vita apparently dropping to sub-100k for the month in just its second month (this is Dreamcast bad) and the 3DS topping off at 150k. Jan-March numbers haven't been...

Take with a large (very large) grain of salt: http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=177324 Probably not true, but Nintendo has worked with Beyonce, Carrie Underwood for TV spots in the past and seemingly shoe-horned the 3DS into a Justin Bieber video last year. And Eminem seems to...

So it turns out that when one is in graduate school or working in politics during an election year, one rarely has the time or inclination to play videogames. It just doesn't seem very terribly important. But now that summer is here, I've had time to make my first videogame purchase of the year. ...

http://andriasang.com/con0zb/sakurai_platinum/ Probably just some colleagues hanging out, but interesting that Sakurai wanted to peak in on their games. Since Sakurai doesn't seem to want to do a Kid Icarus sequel in the near future (sad face) but would OK working with another team and...

This thread is for hilariously out-of-context quoting from chat. (For easiest quoting, use the 'html' tag instead of 'quote'.) ---- <TOG|work> OH GOD DONUTS. <TOG|work> <3 <TOG|work> Every time Chuck brings donuts, I get excited.

Yep, it's true. I haven't bought a game yet this year...which is quite the achievement. Maybe not something to shout about so much on a gaming forum, but I feel like I've just become so disconnected from it all. There used to be a time (up until last year) when I'd buy games just to stick them...

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/08/farewell-friend-codes-wii-u-to-have-single-gamertag-and-friend/1#commentform I think this is worth an entire thread. There's two rumours I've seen, the above and the second one being EA's "Origin" service serving as the basis of the infrastructure. ...

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/sales/hard_soft/index.html Nintendo will post it's first yearly loss today in its history at about $530 million in losses. It wasn't as bad as they were projected a few months ago (roughly $800 million loss) because the yen weakening against the dollar the last...

There's speculation floating around that Nintendo may have money-hatted for a 007 Skyfall game (the upcoming 23rd Bond film) exclusive for this fall (indefinitely?). A poster on Neogaf who's supposedly in the know with Activision posted a thread mentioned Skyfall for the Wii U this fall ...

I like a lot of things about RPGs - exploring new worlds, collecting various items, epic stories, great music, etc. But they can also be tedious and overly difficult. I have not done such a great job of choosing RPGs that fit my casual gamer temperament lately. Do you all have any suggestions of...

Hey all, I know it still comes as a shock to people that there's a web page attached to this message board, but I wanted to get some feed back concerning the series I'm writing: Memory Leak Lane. Vaguely interesting? Lame? Shall I keep at it or stop while I'm ahead? While always a risk to place...

I'm actually pretty hyped for this game, moreso than any 3DS release. Famitsu gave it 40/40 (for what that's worth) and EDGE gave it a 8/10, so it's probably a solid game at the least. Play through video (8 mins): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_kwqehIG-4&feature=youtu.be TV commercial:...

Anyone else planning on picking one of these up tomorrow? I will, though I'm not entirely sure what game(s) to get. Was actually thinking of maybe Virtua Tennis and then going home and downloading some PSP games I missed out on (God of War or FF Tactics perhaps). The screen on this thing is...

From the NeoGaf boards via Beyond 3D's forum: Hrm. I was really looking forward to an HD DKC with the possibility of David Wise doing some music for it. Now I don't know what to think. I understand that it's important for Nintendo to try with this demographic I suppose. I don't think...

yesterday double fine the video game development studio responsible for such games as psychonauts brutal legend stacking iron brigade and probably some other stuff headed by our lord and saviour jesus christ tim schafer put up a kickstarter saying "hey if you guys give us $400,000 in a month tim...

Hi folks. I am having trouble saving my progress in Banjo Kazooie on the N64. I tried 'Save and Close' from the Pause menu, but that didn't work. Then I tried to see if the auto-save feature I read about at GameFAQs would work: I cleared Mumbo's Mountain and hit reset to see if anything was saved,...

Let's talk about books. You read 'em, if you know what's good for you. I'm considering an e-reader sometime soon. I would like to wait until color e-ink is up to par, but... well, whatever. Recommend me something. I got nothing. Well, okay. I like Red Mars a lot. It is a hard sci-fi novel...

Hi All! Been doing this every year for a while now so figured why not continue the tradition. This year let's just talk about the games/media we played/spent time on. If you wanna detail why you're talking about said thing, please do! Or you can be like Jonathan and post one-character...

So...I finally invested in a PS3 (after owning a number of its games for a while now). Its main use will be as a Bluray player, but I've already bought Street Fighter HD Remix and Burnout Paradise from PSN. Firstly, I had some misconceptions about the PS3's D-pad. It is TERRIBLE for Street...
