The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
The current plan is to attempt to start the Holiday Forums on December 23rd sometime during the day. During this time, the Future State Planning Center will remain open. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.

    wasn't unleashed the game right after 06

    werehog is an extended metaphor for the caligulan excesses of writing that lead to sonic 06 and how the sonic franchise must continually struggle to contain the raw bestial urge to write in scenes where anime princesses fall in love with cartoon animal mascots

    Wait what? Wii is taking down online stuff?
    Nintendo also said that "message/data exchange within some games will be disabled" but didn't clarify which games this applies to, or whether online gameplay in popular titles like Mario Kart Wii or Super Smash Bros. Brawl would be affected (Nintendo refused to comment on this matter in response to an Ars request).

    If this means people won't be able to online Monster Hunter Tri anymore, this is gonna be real freaking upsetting. I hope this just means games that use the system messaging won't be able to use system messaging anymore. Otherwise, this is insanity.

    Where does the Wii game where Sonic has a sword fit into this?

    @rfilyaw did you know that you can do Sonic 3 and Knuckles on Xbox Arcade if you are interested in playing it?

    I don't have an XBox!

    Besides that though, I'm not really a Sonic guy! I do think the games were great, though. I appreciate the heck out of them

    I experienced the modern Sonic games (06 forward) through the Pokecapn & crew LPs. 06 is well-worn territory but wow.

    You should play Generations for yourself.

    Because it is legitimately great.

    Probably my favorite Sonic game, actually.

    I won't, I'm afraid. I have next-to-zero attachment to Sonic beyond liking those LPs and the music.

    I do not not like Sonic or any of his games at all.

    But I do like this song a lot!

    Insanity would be not purchasing a Wii U and experiencing Monster Hunter Tri: Ultimate.
    Maybe? Please? - potentially some guy at Nintendo.

    Just got the chance to watch the Iceland video. I would pay good money for a series of Patrick going overseas and reacting to the local flavors.

    I really think Patrick is the only personality who could pull this off. His visit to Iceland was both humorous but also filled with genuine wonder and excitement.

    I totally enjoyed the hell out of the video, and would probably have purchased a penis lamp.

    It would make for a good conversation starter.

    Nintendo has listened to the people's response to "always online" Xbox Fusinfinity 1080 and determined that "always offline" is the name of the game.

    DIDIDIDINAAUUHHH

    This song makes a strong case for Eggman vs. Robotnik

    However, I think you are wrong. The best SA2 song is clearly:

    So tonight I also finished Ghost Trick

    and man did it get dusty in here
    It turns out all along it was a story of how brave little pets are and they love their masters so much and they'll save their lives

    and my cat, a black cat, actually jumped up on my lap and started cuddling me while I was watching the ending

    and oh my god it was the best thing and for just a second I believed.

    PS

    "EA Cuts Ties With Gun Manufacturers" is a real-life headline on our planet, in the main timeline

    Not liking EA is kind of a pick-your-poison affair and mostly overblown but the fact that they really actually literally had ties to cut is

    disgusting? that word doesn't seem strong enough

    I've never seen a company actively try to keep my money away from them quite like Nintendo has over the last 6 months, even with their awesome Direct announcements.

    Why would having licensing deals with gun manufacturers be bad. All it meant was that they could model real guns in their modern warfare games, which players wanted rather than generic shotguns and rifles.

    It's the same reason that car games try to get deals for real car models
