The reveal of this game was the big highlight of today's Nintendo Direct! I was really surprised but delighted! I'm very happy with this because this is one of the best RPG series there is.
I watched the American Nintendo Direct after this and it has the subtitle of "Dream Team" and it seems to take place (in part) in Luigi's dreams.

Tank! Tank! Tank! is actually one of the more interesting Wii U launch games
For a third party release that is. Nearly all of the other third party releases weren't very interesting at all. I'd actually like to try this game when I get a Wii U because, unlike the other third party games, this actually looks somewhat interesting and fun.
The disc release might go down even further in price at this stage.

Tank! Tank! Tank! has been downgraded to the icky "Free-to-Play" thing
I just saw a list of this week's European digital releases for Nintendo systems and this was there with no price except for extra DLC *shudder*. There's also some kind of rule where you can only play certain modes so many times a day.
Tank Tank Tank! is one of the first and only Wii U games that dropped dramatically in price (I've seen it for 30 something Euro) so now it's become so worthless that it's going "Free-to-Play" *shudder*.
No I'm not cold, these are shudders of disgust.

If you're going to see Wreck-It Ralph, take your 3DS in StreetPass mode! (got a Kildare Mii!)
I know we're past the opening weekend for the film but it could still draw some crowds by word of mouth. After all, it is the greatest movie about video games ever made!
When I went, the cinema was completely full; furthermore, I racked up LOADS of StreetPassers during my trip, even meeting someone from Kildare; another county marked off the list!

Rayman Legends going multiplatform is a serious buzzkill
Ho-hum. I suppose there's nothing we can reasonably do now that Rayman Legends is going to all formats. We can still get angry I suppose but eh... what happens when that passes? Acceptance is setting in and just... who cares anymore? That excitement from E3 last year was just an empty fantasy.
Back then they said the game couldn't be what it was if it wasn't for the Wii U-- now they're saying they're bringing it back to where it originally came from, namely the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Talk about going 180. Damn marketers took us for a ride once again!
What's to see now when we look at Rayman Legends? When we play the demo? It controls the exact same way Rayman Origins does and it has the exact same feel. Now that the excitement is DEAD all we see is a rehash; some extra levels; one of those "expansion pack" thingies that PC gamers are always talking about.
Eh... it's ok I guess. I'll probably still buy it and play it and enjoy it for being a good game. What's that Ubisoft? Oh no you can't go back on your decision now... well actually you could but... what's the point? The damage is done. There's no excitement surrounding your game anymore and you can't fix it. Just make sure the game's good okay? I might even get excited when I see the bargain bin sticker on the cover a few weeks after release.
After all, that's what got me excited about buying Rayman Origins.

Video games are better than movies! (Just saw Wreck-It Ralph!)
This is without doubt the greatest video game movie ever made! It glorifies video games for being video games and the arcade game culture. There are loads of loving references for fans and loads of Disney entertaining-ness for everyone else who just wants to see a good film.
Isn't it silly how a lot of video games want to be like movies? Well, I believe part of the message of this film is that you don't need games to be like movies to be successful. This movie is telling you that it's ok for a game to be a game.
I'm so glad that the movie has finally released over here! I hope it wins the Oscar!

Rayman Legends is going multiplatform
It's also being delayed by several months. This was an exciting game to look forward to but.... I just don't feel it anymore after hearing this. It'll probably be as good as Rayman Origins at the very least. We'll see.
