Replicaaaaaaa

Tales of the Abyss 3ds is coming to north America. In the immortal words of Captain Falcon: Yesh!

Of course the realization of not buying any games for the year dawns upon me...

Why?


Okay, this is news to me... so if anyone actually reads my blog, I apologize if you've all ready heard this: VIZ is releasing the Black and White chapter of Pokemon Special.  In July.

My thoughts after the jump...

Wii Successor

With all these wacky rumors going around about the Wii's successor being revealed at this upcoming E3, why is it that the only thing I can think of is characters I want in the next Super Smash Bros?

I also am fearing the day Nintendo discovers DLC for Smash Bros.  (By that I mean new characters, and stages, not the photo's, videos, and stages that we had in Brawl)

Hyped up for Ocarina of Time 3D...

Hidden in a press release from Nintendo:

"[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D] will also feature new challenges not included in the original game."

The next line goes on to talk about Master Quest.  I'm wondering if that line was referring to Master Quest, or new content.  A bonus dungeon would be nice... Maybe another Cave of Ordeals (it could be in that one cave with the rupees making an arrow in the water) or a boss rush or something. 

I'll stop myself here, since it will probably end in disappointment.

Well, that wasn't the response I was expecting...

I actually got this a while ago, I just didn't know how to respond to it...  Once again it's after the break.

Stupid quote of the day

"No self-respecting 20-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those [Nintendo DS]. He's too old for that."
Courtesy of Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Jack Tretton

What is this, 2004?

So, can someone send this self-respecting 20-something, somewhere by a plane?  Bermuda?  Japan?  Los Angeles for E3?  I'm not too picky, I'm just curious to see what would happen first:

  1. I put the DS away because I'm too old for that.
  2. I put the DS away because the battery runs out.
  3. I put the DS away because we arrived at the destination.
  4. I put the DS away because the stewardess asked me to because it is interfering with the plane or something.

Fill in the blank

Remember kids: VIZ thinks you understand words such as Curmudgeonly.  However, you still can't handle the concept of death in a Pokemon manga.  (Especially since the games have never had anything like that... Oh wait....)

Volume 12, (page 42) of Pokemon Adventures: "If we hadn't gotten saved when we did, we'd both be..."

Personally I always love when they use ellipsis, it allows me to make up my own ending to their sentence so their fate is a lot worse than if someone just simply typed in "dead".

That being said. 

Maybe I should have stopped buying Manga as well... I went in to pick up Volume 12 of Pokémon Adventures, and Volume 3 of Megaman Megamix, but came out spending $170 after taxes.

I need cheaper hobbies.

I wonder if I'll get a response...

I sent an e-mail to VIZ Media with regards to their absolutely stellar dreadful job of censorship in their second edition of Pokémon Adventures.  The e-mail I sent is after the jump...
