    Why do people go to fansites just to flame, bash, and troll?

    ...why do they keep making Final Fantasies when they could just make it have a new name? (...other than for money reasons)

    Why can't most characters swim?

    Why do people depend so much on professional reviews - why can't they judge for themselves?

    Because games are expensive. Even renting.

    I find user-reviews more useful... or to a lesser-extent, videos.

    I rely more on PA than on reviewers, but that's still not really judging for myself.

    Even in that case it's kinda limited, though. It's not the same as it being an advertised feature and just something you can tinker with for free right outta the box.

    Which I don't think we will ever have again.

    XNA is far, far, faaaar less restrictive than the C64's basic was. Trust me on this.

    Also, the C64 wasn't a console. Also, lots of consoles since have shipped with versions of Basic. Also, Basic isn't that great for creating games with.

    Also, XNA is free, and you CAN tinker with it right outta the box.

    People say this, and I just don't see it. Are you supposed to point to where you want to go? Or tilt the controller ala Super Monkey Ball?

    I saw "bah" to both. Now, Katamari on the DS would have been sex, but I don't think the DS has enough under the hood to run it.

    Why the hell were there so many castles in the mushroom kingdom anyway? There's only one princess right?

    Why did N64 have that little card slot for a better graphics chip or whatever it was? Did any games really need it? Did it make a difference? I mean really, the slot was tiny, they couldn't just GIVE us that card anyway?

    It was more RAM, and a good chunk of games used it. Many of them Rare titles.

    It was a ram expansion port. Yes, games took advantage of it - a few like Donkey Kong Country and Perfect Dark wouldn't run without it.

    Ram was hyper expensive back in 1996. Physical size doesn't matter. RAM, today, is relatively inexpensive, but back then, 4mb of ram was like a $100 difference.

    And they did give it to you, if you bought DK64.

    Why haven't we gotten a sequel to Punch-Out in the last 17 years.

    FUCKING SERIOUSLY! Especially now that we have the Wii!

    . . .why does Square insist on running the Final Fantasy series into the ground?

    . . .is Peach really Bowser Jr.'s mom?

    But Super Punchout 2 on the Wii would do a lot to change my opinion of the thing. Especially if it used the balance board.

    Assuming that Peach was the reigning monarch, the castles were probably for vassals who had been entrusted with fiefdoms. However, the large amounts of lava and automated defenses suggests that they might have been fortified military outposts that Bowser took over. Of course, Bowser himself may have added the traps much like he turned the lower castes into inanimate objects.

    Imagine if they had multiple control schemes. Like, at the most basic, you could use the wiimote turned sideways for classic punchout action.

    Or you could use a wiimote + nunchuck with wii boxing controls.

    Or you could use two wiimotes for slightly improved controls.

    or you could use two wiimotes and a wii balance board for perfect controls.

    They were in only in three games that I can think of. One of them was a retro cameo, and the other game half the people here probably haven't even heard of. You might as well ask where the hell Boom Boom went.

    I guess that makes sense, it just annoys me that in order to use the wireless controller on your PC you have to buy a dongle to use just for the controller, whereas a lot of computers (at least laptops) already has Bluetooth.
