Since the reveal that Lucario is returning it's been difficult to predict which characters will be cut, but given that Ness hasn't even been announced (and as people have said, he's been around since the original), I'd say that we're not going to see Lucas returning. The roster is filling up...

Wow, we've got alot of interesting opinions here now, let's keep it coming. This is something I've recently experienced. I've got a friend who recently got into old Nintendo titles, and who now talks about them as if it's been years since he first picked them up, when in actual fact, he's...

Recently in school I've had the chance to begin reading Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë, in my English class. Having heard much praise and critical acclaim for the book, I dived right in, only to be thrown off straight away by Mr. Lockwood, the narrator for the first few chapters. Knowing...

You can mention them all you like, I've no problem with that. I'm just not that crazy about them myself. MMOs are actually an interesting one to bring up. I myself have really great memories and stories to share about my time in World in Warcraft, but I wouldn't go back to that game if you...

Apologies for a potential double post, but I thought I should address this. I make no claims that games of the past are definitely better than modern games. That would be a fairly blind thing to say. I am also aware that there was always bad games, and it's not just a thing that has been...

Well, that's kind of what this is about. We're just referring to ourselves as this generation, and the children of today as the next. That's a very valid point. I was introduced to Final Fantasy by one of the other kids living on my street, and I loved it. It was FFI, and I really wanted to...

It's very true that nostalgia can be a bad thing - sometimes we get so obsessed with what we had then, that we ignore and shun what we have now. I agree with you in saying that there still will be nostalgia - nostalgia is, after all, tied to personal experiences within a game, rather than...

That, is actually brilliant. I appreciate all of the new things that have been added to Minecraft, but in all honesty, I just want to build stuff with my friends, and fight off zombies. I don't really care about the potions, or enchanting, or anything else like that. Yeah, that's something I...

In all honesty, Happy Wheels. Get it out of here! It's not that I dislike the game itself. As cynical as I am, I've still had alot of fun playing it on late nights with friends when we had nothing better to be doing. It's what Happy Wheels is now associated with that bothers me - it's a...

Yes, I'd say most of these games are the ones people will remember in future. It's weird to think that these games may be considered 'retro' years from now (we're probably going to need to redefine that term - there's no way Assassin's Creed can be considered on par with the likes of Goldeneye)...

There's a certain nostalgia factor when you look back through your old collection of video games. You get to pick up and feel the cartridges, plug the clunky thing into your old console, and laugh and remember those special times, whether it be choosing between Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle...
