Huh, that is a "GS". Upon first glance I thought it was a tilted triangle-type symbol. Not worth pre-ordering the game from Gamestop for that since there are going to be tons of costumes in-game anyway.

It is strange why this news wasn't available from the beginning since a lot of backlash was created based on the initial revealing. Still, this is great news! Now both sides will be pleased, and then there's people like me who are pleased either way. I love classic and I'm excited for new.

I'm happy with the 2014 release. There are way too many 3DS games coming in 2013 that I want and this isn't priority for me.

It's only set in the same world. Everything else is new.

Still sour that it's not on 3DS VC. Cool for Wii-U owners and great news for Earthbound fans in general. It's about time this happened.

UPDATE: There are two modes in the game.

Classic Mode and Story Mode. I don't think I need to explain what each mode does.

Now everyone that's freaking out can stop yelling about it on the internet.

I stumbled onto the weird part of youtube, but I may have found gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjMk5PL2bjg

I also want this playing whenever I'm walking around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dBjxeh4oF0

All the damn time. Also, I've noticed very subtly differences between in-game OST and CD OST of Nocturne. Has anyone else noticed?

The music in this game is awesome! Definitely disagree with the review on the music. I spin this soundtrack a lot while I'm chilling out at home and relaxing, and a lot of the songs get stuck in my head. Music is a tough thing to discuss in a review, because it's entirely subjective and not everyone is going to feel the same. I suppose the same thing could be said about the entire review in general, though. Oh well, to each their own.

You guys, seriously. Just put this on while you browse the net. So perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTVWjNwGnLU

Get the Audio-Technica ATH-M30's from Amazon. Extremely good deal and they sound awesome. Convinced my friend to by them and he loves them as well.

I live about 15 minutes by train/bus from where it happened. Really scary. It's incredibly surreal. I still can't believe this happened. The videos are disturbing and an 8 year old boy has died, as well as many being injured. Why someone would do this is beyond me.

Oh don't worry, she's been gaming for a while and generally doesn't care about graphics. One of her favorite games is Might and Magic 4 or something like that. That game looks terrible by todays standards. I've showed her videos of Soul Hackers already and she seems interested based on gameplay, but doesn't like the setting.

When I first heard this track in the first trailer it got me so hype. This is Nocturne levels of awesomeness. I can't remember the composers name, but he is a fine successor to Meguro for this game.

That was actually something I brought up in the discussion. "Maybe you'll like SMTIV more because it's more of a mix between medieval Japan/Samurai setting and modern". Maybe she'll bite with that. I'll get her to play an SMT game one way or another!
