The soundtrack is this bad? Jesus effin' christ...

Now that was a Wrestlemania!

Well, I only have 162 unfinished games in my backlog, so no biggie...

I think Jake showed why he's always praised about wrestling psychology in and out of the ring. Totally captivating, emotional roller-coaster of a speech. As for Ultimate Warrior, yeah I agree, how could he not mention the DVD? Still, I think it was good enough a compromise between a fakey fake "all's good and dandy" speech (wasn't gonna happen anyway) and a bitter shoot rant about all the negative happenings that have taken place in the past. He addressed a lot of crap, yet he spoke about positive things too. He seems to have made a deal with WWE now, so I hope we see more of him in various projects, plus that the guys can sort out at least some of the bad blood between them. Whatever shit happened behind the curtains, you can't deny the fact that the Ultimate Warrior character was a great one, and his intensity in and out of the ring was off the charts. Totally deserved. Yeah I was surprised about Kane, he had no notes yet the speech was very smooth and enjoyable. Same with Lita, always interesting to hear about how people got started in the business... Mr. T though...oh jesus (pun not intended). Somebody call his momma!

I disagree. I always thought the AC games looked really boring, but after digging a little deeper, I ended up buying 1 & 2. What do you know, the 1 was full of awesome Middle-Eastern cities, and the 2nd has you bouncing on the roofs of Italian cities. What I thought was really boring turned out to be historically and architecturally very exciting! (and the action is good too) Same with the Metroid Prime games. "Blah, looks so generic." Still, got MP1 because of all the praise, and they are all but boring! Top notch exploration / fps games... Of course, buy what you want, but from my experience, there's a reason certain games get a lot of praise. Even if you think they seem super boring based on screenshots / concept art, such games might just give you a big ol' surprise when you actually try them. Reviewers gushing on about a certain game usually means there's something to gush about...And no, I don't mean you should be forced to like every acclaimed game of course, but that negative first impressions can be deceiving as well.

Anyone else watch the HoF ceremony? Great stuff...cool to see Jake, Hall and Warrior again. Good speeches by Lita and Kane too.

I always have the 3D turned off, it's pretty useless...and if I have it on, I have to turn it off after a while anyway since my eyes / head start to hurt. The 2DS is a step in the right direction, imo...

I usually go for the easier / more simple games, just so that I can get something done. A game beaten is a game beaten, and one more (B) mark in your backlog. I don't even bother with the more complicated / huge games unless I really wanna play them...

So it has been confirmed then? Exactly what online functions have they confirmed so far, link, list?

Gracie hunt update: I think about a month has passed since T.I.Y. opened, that's what you need for the next upgrade anyways...But just to be sure, I bought about 100k's worth of crap from Nook and then put on a sports-dominated attire. Lo and behold, Gracie appeared today! Full sports attire on, 1st check passed! 3 more to go... Also, caught a Guppy today, Killifish yesterday. That's all the fish for April...

The only art style that I haven't liked in a Zelda game has been Skyward Sword. It's a cartoony style, yet the colours look washed out. Blah, not a fan...

@Serebii With a game like this, why wouldn't there be leaderboards? It's a racing game, and measures who's the fastest / best driver. Should be a given to include online rankings and statistics of how you're doing in comparison to other people!

I just can't play the game with the Japanese voices, it seems so weird with them...Also, the English voices are pretty good, nothing wrong with those. It's like two different games really! @Hero\-of\-Time Well it's called the Eryth Sea for a reason, eh? That's what seas are, just huge puddles of nothing but water! (although there are some islands there too I remember)

At 1 am? Jesus, why so late? (yeah yeah, the Americans...)

Yeah I'm not looking at the tracks that much either. Trailers are fine, but I have no need to see what every single damn track looks like from start to finish, total spoiler overkill...

Superstar Saga (original) is in black & white.

Bottom line: it's Nintendo, who the hell knows what they're thinking anymore...

Looks good. Digging the small SMK influences. Still a bit worried about how the online will turn out, though... #fingerscrossed

I think I can handle all but 2 clothing categories now, if only that giraffe bastard would appear! @M_rock You sure you have to buy stuff from Nook before she appears? I read stuff here and there and some people reported her appearing right after the opening of T.I.Y...(and no, she hasn't actually appeared even once yet) Also, anyone get the ABD machine? Saving up 100,000,000 bells...well that's friggin' insane. I don't know how much you can really make with the Stalk Market, but with island bug hunting, that sum is gonna take forever to get... #jesus

I don't think Sting's appearing at WM. Probably at Raw after WM, or even after that, they have a whole year's time anyway... I think the card's decent enough. The battle royals are a good idea as they give a lot of talent the chance to appear at Mania, although I wonder if they actually are part of the show and not the pre-show... IC and US title not being defended? Only shows how meaningless they really are...might as well unite them too.

I definitely like the amount of Like buttons there now, very convenient!

Collecting clothes for Gracie, looking pretty good. A few questions though: 1) Is she totally random? Any tricks / requirements for making her appear? I've got T.I.Y already... 2) Is there a set of clothing items you always need (like shoes) in the fashion check, or is it just a matter of having the majority of them being type X and not clashing? PS. It's insane how much stuff there is to do in this game...

@Serebii It's not like the Prime games are even that difficult, I've played through the whole trilogy and had no such problems like you described. Smart saving = no headaches.

Both. I started with the 3D games (MP 1-3), which are amazing. More recently, I've gone through the 2D ones (SM, M 1&2, Fusion), which are just as enjoyable. Still yet to play Other M, but I plan to change that soon... Overall: great series, no matter on what platform and in what form. Moar pls.
