I have some errands to run, and it turns out this is one of them. However, I will first need to see your ID in order to grant access to this Age Restricted GameDev.Net Daily.
Analysts have an uncanny habit of demonstrating that they really don't know jack about the industry they're analyzing and that they really don't deserve their jobs at all. Point is, Reggie Fils-Aime says Wii HD is not the next step, regardless of what Pachter and other analystards think. I've been relatively vocal that I think the Wii is a worthless piece of junk, but quite a few million people disagree with me, to the tune of colossal revenues for Nintendo. That's why I'm not an analyst, you see. Anyway, there's no denying that Nintendo broke out of the mold with the Wii, and it looks like they're gearing up to do it again -- once the Wii stops generating mind boggling profits, I mean.
I've played an awful lot of games over the past two years, all things considered. The best one, without a doubt, was LittleBigPlanet on the PS3. The game is sheer brilliance, on many different levels. And it's now out for PSP! So if you bought one of those little things -- which hurt my hands quite a bit to use, I have to admit -- then check out this review of LittleBigPlanet PSP. It sounds like, although it doesn't live up to its incredible PS3 predecessor, it's still a damned good game. Face it, Daxter is old now. You need a new platformer.
You might have gotten the impression that developer Pandemic was shut down as part of EA's cost cutting measures. Well, that is not the case because they got better. It turns out they're only mostly dead. It's like I always say -- my name is Inigo Montoya. You fired my father, prepare to die.
It turns out that Super Mario Bros Wii is amazing, and I can't really say that's a surprise. I still don't like the Wii, but some of its games are awfully tempting. Well okay, just this and Smash Bros, but that's two damned good games.
