It's interesting how imagination flows about this kind of stuff from fans. If anything, this taught us not to believe anything we see. At the time many theories seemed at least plausible, but far away from reality when we got the answers.
Of course the 3DS is gonna rock, some day, because right now I'm not the least impressed. Sure Street Fighter looks cool, but it's more of a game I'd like to try out than a game I'd like to own. Nintendo could've done so much better.
I can't agree with a method that allows developers to cut part of a game, release 90% of it, then release the rest afterward like happened to Assassin's Creed 2, it's just wrong. When it happens with certain gameplay elements like multiplayer is also laughable. And that speaking about a smaller amount of a game, the day full games started being distributed only digitally then that will be a sad day indeed; the day I won't be able to go to a store, buy the game, everything with the box, disk, instruction manual and all that, come back home, put the disk to spin, store it on my shelf and actually be able to say I "own" the game, then the industry will have done something bad, at least for me.
