The fuck??

Look at these Animal Crossing in Mario Kart screens

So Nintendo has all the characters in HD on Wii U on that app now they have all the buildings and trees in HD too for MK8.

The graphics are essentially all done already. Where is the U game?

Those are some really sweet elite status offers by Nintendo. I'm currently trying to decide between:

• Animal Crossing New Leaf 3DS
• Mario Golf World Tour 3DS
• Yoshi's New Island 3DS
• NES Remix 2

Just finished replaying Resident Evil 3 and thought I would share some insights.

This is actually a strange game compared to the other old school RE titles. It seems very similar at first but it does so many little things differently that they add up to it being quite, well, different. Its so much more action oriented than the others, for one. I mean this game just throws hordes of assholes your way on a constant basis. Even areas you've already cleared, you go back and sure enough a bunch more dudes have magically appeared. As such, you die A LOT more than in the other games, which can lead to frustration if you're not saving often. This was the title where they finally added the quick turn option, and its no surprise because without it this game would be a pain in the ass...not to mention the Nemesis constantly hounding you.

Also, this would have been the toughest game for them to remake out of the three PS1 titles. Because the level design is just fucking WEIRD. Back in the day it was fine, but this was before systems could really handle huge realistic environments. The first two games are fine because they were designed in close quarters, small areas....alleys, hallways, buildings, etc. But RE3 is supposed to represent you going through the actual CITY, and they did it in a way that trys to keep the confined space ideas of the other titles. So, the place just comes off as totally unrealistic today. The entire game would have to have been reworked into completely new designs and areas that more realistically show off what a City actually looks like. They couldn't just copy/paste the old areas into a better engine like they could for RE1 & 2.

Its still a classic game, but its definitely not as good as the other classic RE titles.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Coming to Wii U, Xbox One, and New 3DS

Yes. This pleases me.

GLAD to admit I was wrong on that one!

Raven if you really want a Yoshi amiibo let me know.  I'm very confident i will be able to attend least get my hands on a few at the regular retail price.

Yeah, that would be awesome, Robio.  I definitely want one, and I'll gladly pay for it. Color doesn't matter to me.

Can't you pre-order the LE?  It comes bundled with a Yarn Yoshi amiibo, that way you're sure you'll at least get one.

I searched, and the bundle seems to be EU-only. I hope it comes out here too.

You can't go wrong with any those, but Yoshi's New Island is a great game, Archie. I loved it. It's a real shame that it wasn't better received.
