But wasn't MG announced before the console launched? I had 0 interest in the console at first so my memory is a little fuzzy on that.


Yeah E3 is a joke but i hoped it would go back to how it was the start of this gen when they actually tried to make it fun to watch.

I just hope that A. they announce some new shit soon and B.games drop quickly because I'm done with paying 60$ a game.

I do want to know what you find unprepared tho, sounds interesting.


Why did game prices get bumped up from 50 to 60 anyways?

Cause game companies wanted to see their quartley profits (or losses in some cases) actually be some what bearable.

When Halo 2 came out and Madden 2005 they did these special editions that cost 60$ and later admitted they did it to see if people would pay 60$ for the games. They did and walla!


However games are still cheap now if you look at the 90's 60-70$ N64 games 80-100$ for SNES/Genesis games

Pretty much a modified 3DS eshop. I don't like it. Kinda hard to find specific things. I don't like Xbox version either. Really like PSN

You can replace the batts on the controllers. Still wish would use regular batts like 360

VMwiiU.

From the beginning of the universe, everything we have ever done, culminates in this moment of history: screens on controllers: it must be. It is our destiny.

I believe the word you are looking for is "voila", "walla" means "I swear" in Arabic
