Regardless, I like your new name. :y:

Danke.

The Pokémon fighting game has an English trailer but says "Planned for arcades in Japan in 2015" and they don't show the Japanese logo. I think it's pretty obvious it's coming to the US. Why else put up an English trailer? Given the arcade scene is, unfortunately, dead outside Japan, I don't think a Wii U version is unlikely.

Really wish arcades would make a comeback. They are still popular in some spots on the West Coast, as well as Galloping Ghost right outside Chicago.

I remember the only reason I ever wanted to go to the mall as a kid was for the arcades. Good times.

Bar in Brooklyn "barcade" very cool bar with lots of old arcade machines, lotta ppl playing them

Couple arcades open on OCNJ boardwalk like "Jilly's" open 24 hours... spent lots of quarters on beating Let's Go Jungle and Let's Go Island

If I could have my own business, I'd want to have an arcade. There's a vacant place which would be prime spot for one just 5 minutes from my house.

Arcades are completely dead here. A few years ago, I asked my nephew if he knew what an arcade was and he didn't. Kids have no arcade experiences now.

Official Dr Who skins coming to Minecraft for the 360.

I'm interested in neither but I know it's a big thing to some people.

I was never able to get behind Minecraft at all. I can appreciate it for what it is, but yea, just bores me to no end.

I find it dull aswell. I did get into the XBL indie ripoff, Fortress Craft, though.

Japan is getting a Nintendo Direct sometime soon. It's 3DS focused but I'm predicting a Smash reveal.

There's one in Glasgow, fucked if I can remember the name and it's Glasgow so there's that downside too.

Yell.com shows one arcade and it's in Lanarkshire.

3) According to Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo is currently in the process of changing their business plans to be more "core" focused in the near future. The reason is due to them believing the Wii era and mobile gaming in general has done enough to expand the gaming audience while Nintendo themselves want to get back to developing more challenging games again.

4) Harmonix reveals their newest game called A City Sleeps will be released this October for Steam and was described as a side-scrolling music-and-rhythm shoot ‘em up.

Dammit Harmonix.

Nice. Heard good things about Super Time Force

Yay another month of MS dropping the ball on the free games. STF is good, but leaving Crimson Dragon up for another month is weak. Sony can manage 2 new games a month, why can't you MS? HUH?

Dude, you're getting free games.

Nintendo have announced a new 3DS with two sticks, apparently.

Apparently?

It's a shame the Smash Bros one isn't the newer model.

Everyone of you who post in here are social degenerate gaming nerds

You just posted in here.

Damnit, I just bought a new 3DS less than a month ago.

I had the Smash Bros 3DS preordered but I'm cancelling that. Glad I waited.

I paid a whole $40 for my 3DS! Bah!

2014: The Delay

Late Night News Edition:
 

Activision is currently rumored to be planning an attempt to purchase Take-Two Interactive soon.

http://news.investors.com/technology...lk-by-atvi.htm

In terms of a potential offer, Activision has way more money in cash reserves alone than Take-Two has in total wealth. Could easily make a $2-3 billion offer and still have $1-2 billion left afterwards.

Didn't the try this before and were told to get lost?

According to the thread in Neogaf where I found the news, the EA bid was dropped because EA barely went above Take-Two's net value and weren't willing to provide large sums of their own money for Take Two's projects.

These giant developer devouring, game killing studios do get tricky to tell apart sometimes.

I don't want a port of Saints Row, I want a new one dammit!

Really enjoyed Saints Row 4, would prefer a newer one though.

For those interested and have an Xbox 360, Microsoft is offering a free month of Xbox Live Gold. The only catch is your account needs to be Silver to do it and have to manually turn off auto-renewal on their website.

May have to call them. Could be a retired GT but the system is sloppy with that. I couldn't remove 360 from my GT for years because of this.

Urgh, that's a pain in the ass.

Though I did say the same thing on an Xbox forum and I just got this reply.

So if that's actually true, then I'll just have to think of another Gamertag.

I got another reply from someone on the other forum I posted on saying:

I was always lead to believe that spaces do make a name different.

The Gamertag I would like is taken, so I thought using it without a space would be fine. According to the Gamertag availability sites and the Xbox site, it is fine and it's available.
