The Batman cover art designers are really having issues, huh?

I mean the original Arkham City had a decent cover and good art but the re-release of it (the special edition or whatever) looked stupid and this kinda looks stupid too.

I am not sure if I will buy Wii U because of many third parties are not saying anything expect EA, UbiSoft, Namco, Sega and now Capcom (secret game is in the work) are supporting it. Really, it seems to me that this is still not quite good enough to convince myself or ourselves (my bestfriend and I) to buy the next gen console just yet.

Whaaat?! Whilst I've gotta praise Sega for trying something different with [our Euro] cases, those things were far and away the worst cases ever made lol.... everytime you opened them they'd fall to bits: you opened the front, it'd fall off... you tried opening the front delicately, the fukkin back un would fall off instead! The little teeth holding the discs in broke off.... they were a nightmare (in fact still are, I still have my Dreamcast hooked up to an upstairs telly!) Still, they were different!
Now Japanese Gamecube boxes - lurvely! :D
My DC games were in fantastic order, not a single breakage and that includes the games I played many many times.

Strangely enough I was mucking about with a few of my Dreamcast games yesterday! True, some are still in really good nick, with neither fronts or backs (or the teeth for that matter) falling off... others though, maybe I just got a couple of rogues, plus the fact is my lads were still babies/toddlers in the DC heyday, and knackered a few up (like the little darlings did with half my Gamecube discs! Grrr) Most likely a case of me not taking good enough care of em then (though I swear I remember similar people posting the same thing as me back in the day - maybe they were just clumsy buggers too ehh!!)

The yellow, I agree, is a bit clashing, but it adds some flair to it. I hope the blue stays. Blue boxes look really sleek for a video game collection, in my opinion.

I see no reason to not just use the original boxart, the new features that this version has aren't going to win anyone over who can't already play it on another platform. Only people who will buy this are those who won't be getting a PC that can play games PS3 or 360 anytime soon so best stick with the original and best.

Most are playing the waiting game to see how well it does at launch and how well 3rd party games will do. EA themselves don't really have much apart from the usual yearly sports games and a game ported by a cheap developer who had nothing to do with it originally.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
