Will it end with the new Kirby game that is dated to be released in early July? For me I thought it would end with Pokemon Black/White (J) but Okamiden proved me wrong. I honestly have been looking forward to a good Kirby game for quite some time now. Though I thought Epic Yarn was ok, despite the fact that you cannot die, I definitely did not think that it did the Kirby franchise justice. So I have high hopes for this game!

For the thousandth time:
The DS still has a fairly solid release line up, it will just be much slower than it used to be. The majority of first party focus is on the 3DS at this point, but there are plenty of translations promised and such.

How many more times are we going to hear: THE DS IS DYING/IS DEAD.

Yeah, we get it, the 3DS is out. Like any other last gen system, it will have some hurrahs for awhile, but will die out eventually.

I totally agree, we shouldn't even be discussing the DS's death until at least 2012.

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
