I wouldn't personally call the show 'garbage'—it's far better and more skilfully produced than that—but I get your point about it being light entertainment!
As usual Tom, an excellent read that highlights some key points. I agree that the 3DS has little to worry about at this stage. However, the Wii U has a far more difficult battle ahead. It's a challenge that Nintendo can meet though, they just need to make all the right moves.
Massive fan of the Castlevania series but never played Rondo! Just one thing, the game has a built-in save option doesn't it? Could someone just confirm this for me.
Personally I would like to see Nintendo take another crack at the new Disaster Day of Crisis IP. They really didn't help themselves with that game with little to no advertising. With a bit more polish that could be a great series. The first one while not mind blowing was quite a solid game in my opinion.
I don't really like the idea of no saving, then again Castlevania always was a hardcore affair. Konami the European release date better be soon, I'm hungry for more!

Never expected it to have BC myself. You avoid disappointment that way. If it does, great.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp?
An excellent remake of some true classics. Advance Wars 3+4 next, please.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp
Now we're talking. One of the best Nintendo franchises of all time.
Re: Metroid Prime Engineer "Let Down" By Exclusion Of Original Credits In Remaster
It seems a tad whiny and overly bitter, but I agree full credits would have been even better.

Cheers for that Prosody, the smaller games still have a good chance guys.
Re: Feature: For Your Consideration - LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias

Phantasy Star arriving marks the completion of one hell of an RPG series. Great stuff.
