@Asharel

"GS News" is easier and faster to say than "GSHS" or "GS Hot spots".

And more practical if you ask me.

@edviges yea, she's alright. I mean these girls do get the job partly because of their looks, so they could do a little better. Of course, the guys can be dorky or fat and nobody cares. Sad but true.

The sad thing is that no matter how good looking or ugly the woman is that appears on GS shows, poeple will always comment about their looks. While it's true that nobody mentions anything about how the guys look, it's not just the good-looking women that get singled out.

Why do the girls have to "do better"? The male journalists aren't automatically any better just because they are male. I've seen worse male journalists, but the females get singled out because of their looks, and have to "try harder" just to be considered at the same level. It's bullshit.

There's a gender issue where there really shouldn't even be an issue in the first place. Gamespot isn't a modelling agency or dating site. We're all gamers, and we're all here for the games - so can we please just talk about the games.

@Scorpion1813 @vegasdan30 i like the way jess talks, and i like her jokes. ima big fan of reality check too, and he's a guy, so why's the point? if the person makes you feel comfortable listening or watching a show it doesnt matter if it's a she or a he. even if it's an it.. and nope, i don't like carolyn voice just the same i don't like the "mexican" music at feedbackula.

A lot of people would beg to differ. Some people come here just for her. Whether it's because they fancy her or because they are genuinely entertained in a none-creepy stalker way unlike the others.

To be honest, despite already being up-to-date with what's happening on Gamespot, I still come here for the entertainment value, and to have discussions regarding said news.

But hey, if she doesn't do it for you then fair enough. That's your prerogative.

I'll just say that I'm happy with my Wii U basic model for it's color. That's right, I said it's COLOR. I purposely passed up the deluxe model on launch day because I thought the white one looked loads better than the black one. The bickering over hard drive space is just silly. I bought a 1 TB USB Hard Drive for $69 and never looked back. I have 25 games to date, 33 if you count virtual games. Of all the games I own, only 6 are on disc. I'm never going to understand why everyone makes such a big deal about the storage when the problem is VERY EASY to solve. Both models can be connected to two 2TB USB hard drives simultaneously for a grand total of 4 TB of storage!! And data can be swapped between each drive. What more could you want?

Anyhow, it kinda makes me sad to see the white model being phased out. But at the same time, I'm glad that I got one. Because those of us who own one not only have the coolest looking color now, but it's our little piece of collectable history to show that we were here in the beginning supporting a very good system that has a very undeserving bad rap.


And Jess is HOT. <3

When these are released I bet there will be memes where people have snapped it in half and butchered it back together with door hinges or something.

it feels like nintendo aren't allowed to do anything without someone slating them i personally won't get a 2ds because it's clearly made for kids but it's still a good idea, no hinge makes it harder to break and no 3d is good because it can be bad for kids eyes. as for lack of games between now and christmas nintendo have a bunch of Wii U games coming out at least one exclusive a month and as far as i know all the major 3rd party games except GTA 5 ?

and with sony it's silly to say but of course it's going to take a few years to show it's full potential this happens with every console ? remember how shit the first bunch of 360 and ps3 games looked ?

So no point in buying a PS4 for another 3 to 4 years Sony has said it themselves.

Got to love Nintendo, I dont see why people only want a two horse race you dont go to you local supermarket and just want a choice of two of each product you want a range. The more choice and competition the better it is for the consumer we get better product and companies have to work harder for our hard earned money use your heads.

@ollie2000000 In electronics it doesn't work that way. you don't go to supermarket to compare food for its features, but instead for its price and quantity and also for taste. competition is good. nintendo is good. In electronics is more about if the product satisfy what the most consumers demand, and innovate more toward what consumers want. nintendo is no even trying to compete with sony and microsoft. they're doing their own thing a hope consumers would buy their products for just their brand. I just think that nintendo won't succeed next-gen.

@gaming_paradox @ollie2000000

And Sony and Microsoft aren't competing with Nintendo either. So the whole competition thing is moot.

People don't buy a Wii U instead of another console, they buy them as well as. The only reason to buy a Wii U is for the Nintendo games, since that's pretty much all that console offers anyway.

Nintendo would be more relevant to the gaming industry if they went multi-platform. If they continue the way they are going they are just going to be forgettable and a laughing stock. As evident with nobody giving a crap about their recent announcements.

I've BEEN wanting a 2DS since the 3DS came out 2 years ago. I didn't want to pay extra for a gimmicky feature that I was never going to use.

But this..this...thing........I do not want.

The 3d function of the 3ds is useless. So I totally welcome this. It's 40$ less and ditches the function I hated.

@Shmiity You seriously didn't like the 3D? I don't know, I got use to it and over time it was nice to watch that immersive little world. Definitely a better experience on a 3DSXL though

Good Idea. No one uses their 3DS with 3D on anyway!

I would have liked if they kept it looking like the 3DS or 3DS XL with the folding screen though.

It is a lot cheaper than a 3DS, I seen at EB Games Australia its only $148 so this one will be for the kids that want a handheld to play 3DS and DS games on.
