    *closed!* BittBoy FC MINI Handheld BLACK FRIDAY Give-away

    I always think back fondly on the Christmas after Metroid II came out. I loved the first game and was really happy to receive the sequel as a gift. I didn't care about the other gifts I got, I just sat and played it on my Game Boy until late into the night. The moody atmosphere of Metroid II...

    Gaming Metroid Samus Returns Leak?

    There are always a few stores that break street date. If a store disobeys Nintendo's instruction and sells the game early, that is not the fault of the person who purchased it. Banning someone who legitimately purchased a game at retail store would just open a big can of worms that I'm sure...

    Hacking On CFW, did system transfer, now lost all homebrew/CIA icons

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I had to use GodMode9 to inject FBI into Health & Safety. From there I was able to reinstall all necessary CIA files. Thanks for the help!

    Hacking On CFW, did system transfer, now lost all homebrew/CIA icons

    Hi all, I recently picked up a New 3DS XL and installed CFW (Luma3DS). I installed some CIAs, everything was good. I read that it is safe to do a system transfer to a 3DS with CFW, so I tried it. I did a transfer from my old 3DS to the new one to transfer my Nintendo ID over. Afterward, all...

    Black friday not starting on friday!

    Many stores in Canada do their Boxing Day/Week sales online too. I imagine that the big stores in the States have online shopping for Black Friday too. So does it really matter what time the brick-and-mortar stores open? In Canada these sales are moving online more and more every year...

    Team Ninja Would Like To Make Another Metroid Game

    So for you, what makes a game "Metroid" is the theme? See, that's not what makes a game Metroid to me. For me, it's mostly about the gameplay. The concept for Prime was correct – a lone warrior infiltrating a planetary maze and finding upgrades and defeating enemies and bosses. But it still...

    Team Ninja Would Like To Make Another Metroid Game

    Other M was a lot of fun. IMO, it was a much better 3D version of Metroid than the Prime series ever was. I've been playing Metroid games since 1986, so what feels "Metroid" to me will differ from a lot of the younger gamers who started with later entries in the series. The Prime games just...

    Apple to drop YouTube app in iOS 6 firmware

    This. On every version of the iPhone, I've always gone into General > Restrictions in the Settings app and disabled the YouTube app. That way all YouTube links go to the browser. Then I access it via a browser bookmark, just as I do on my PC. You have the option of putting a shortcut icon on...

    Nintendo 3DS XL: Full Technical Specs

    True that I had the ratio wrong, but it will still look worse. Bigger pixels are easier to see individually and thus stand out more, even in motion. The more pixels stand out, the worse the graphics on said screen look. Ever see a 90" HDTV within 10 feet? It looks pretty bad compared to a...

    Nintendo 3DS XL: Full Technical Specs

    240 vertical resolution on a screen that size will make each individual pixel look huge. It's like taking a low-res pic and doubling it's size without any resampling. It's like taking this: And making it into this:

    DS #5151: Shanghai DS2 (Japan)

    Can't wait to try this one out. The original came out really early in the DS life cycle (NDS#0241). It was simple but had a lot of character. Looking forward to seeing what's new in the sequel.

    Xbox 360 controller w/ improved d-pad for the holidays (RUMOR)

    If you had paid attention, you'd see that my comments were directed at the d-pad alone. I said nothing about the other parts of the controller because they are clearly not important to me.

    Xbox 360 controller w/ improved d-pad for the holidays (RUMOR)

    This won't satisfy many. People who want a digital joystick will go out and get an arcade stick. Using a mini one with your thumb instead is no consolation. And it still does nothing to help the accuracy of the d-pad in general. Pad players won't be helped out by this revision at all. After...

    Xbox 360 controller w/ improved d-pad for the holidays (RUMOR)

    Raising it up a quarter of an inch won't solve anything. The entire internal mechanism needs a complete design overhaul. The 360's d-pad sucks because it's essentially a round-gate 4-switch stick, rather than a true d-pad. (Disassemble the controller to see it.) They need to put a small PCB...

    PS3 online argument turns into real life beatdown

    There's also the factor of relevance when it comes to self-defense. You can't kill someone in self-defense if your life wasn't in danger, for example. It's highly unlikely that his life was in legitimate danger from some who wants to fistfight over an argument. Damage dealt under the claim of...

    Metroid: Other M comes in a dual-layered DVD.

    I imagine all the movies had to be duplicated in standard 4:3 and a horizontally-skewed 4:3 (for widescreen mode), so that would double the required space on the disc. It's too bad stuff had to be cut to make it fit on. I'd rather them use slightly higher of video compression than cut content...

    ROM Hack Dragon Quest IX - Save Editor

    If someone were to post the map numbers (rank and seed) from one of their maps, others can to overwrite one of their existing maps (or create a new one) with the same values and have the exact same map. 'Location' can be changed to your own preference, though certain types of maps can only...
