VGC: "The week ending January 2, 2011, which falls mostly in 2010, marks the end of the 2010 in Japan. Software sales quieted down dramatically from last week, when eight games sold more than 100,000 units last week. Out of the eight games over 100,000 for the Dec 26 week, which were Monster Hunter Portable 3, Mario Sports Mix, Donkey Kong Country Returns, AKB1, The Third Birthday, Wii Party, Pokemon Black / White, and the recent version Inazuma Eleven 3, only AKB1, DKC Returns, and Monster Hunter Portable 3 topped 100,000 for the week ending January 2, 2011."
The Animal Crossing franchise may lean towards casual gaming, but it has laid the foundation for a future title to have a survival mode.
“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
Donkey Kong > GT5?
DKCR is da hit....it's outstanding. :)
