Yeah, even Pokemon wised up and lets you choose your gender. A small difference that probably did a lot more than people think. So... Nintendo is the smartest bugger? :/

Nintendo hasn't been selling well, which is quite a pity, because they're about the only decent people in the console side of the industry. They've been ahead of the game several times, and haven't ever released a game that was bad or even unoriginal. I have nothing but praise for those guys.

I never cared much for E3 either, myself. To me it seemed just a hook for game publishers to overhype games and look like a serious industry by having a large trade show. Nowadays you get the same content out of YouTube and Google Video, mostly.

Heeeey, games aren't sexist. There are plenty of female lead characters in games.

Like Lara Croft. And Alyx Vance. And that chick from Metal Gear Solid or whatever.

R.I.P. E3, you will be remembered. *sniffle*
Anyways, far as Nintendo goes they win next gen systems, Wii > Xbox 360 > ps3.

And Samus Aran is one of the coolest game characters ever. No more whining, ladies.

While I disagree, I'm quite interested to see what happens with the PS3. Between delays and the price, Sony better have some neat tricks saved to impress people tongue.gif

Spore is most likely coming to console, or so says the maker.

In the words of you mere mortals, "QFT."

If there's anyone who did not play this on Nintendo (when nintendo was NOT 'vintage') and who did -not- audibly gasp at the very end of Metroid, well... You deserve to be shot. Watch your back.
