Nope. Up until XL models were released, I have always found Nintendo's handhelds to be too small to enjoy playing on, so I definitely don't want an even smaller one.

I really don't understand why some people complain about remasters. They don't hurt anybody and can be beneficial.

If you don't want them, you don't have to buy them, simple as that; nobody is going to force you to spend money on them.

There are many people that do want them though, as evidenced by how well they sell. Some people never got to play these games before because they may not have owned the last console it was on and some people have played and loved the game so much that they want an even more improved version of the game. Remasters are great for these people.

"But I want new games!", you say? Remasters are not stopping new games from being made. Remasters take very little time and resources to make; they are made by separate and smaller teams; often with only two or three people from the core development team overseeing it; while the rest are still working on new games. Not only are they keeping people employed and giving interns and new hires development experience which benefits the industry as a whole, but since they tend to sell so well while taking so little resources to make; developers make a lot of money from them and that money can then be used to help fund the new games that you want. So even the people that don't like remasters are benefiting from them, so please quit complaining.

The only games that I prefer to play on PC are strategy games because those games just work better with a mouse and keyboard. Every other type of game, I prefer to play on consoles.

It is the most important factor in determining which console I buy multiplat games on. And that is why for the past three generations, I have bought all multiplat games on Xbox unless it is a 2D game.

I don't think that has that big of an influence. The biggest reason why is because Microsoft screwed up initially with the price and being the first to announce their use of DRM.

Sony was obviously also planning to use DRM as well, they had filed a patent for it earlier in the year and Sony's president, Shuhei Yoshida, has pretty much admitted in interviews that after seeing the negative backlash that Microsoft received from it, they wisely decided to captalize by quietly changing their plans so they could paint themselves as the good guys. They also dropped the PS Eye from the package at the last minute so they could undercut Microsoft in price.

That is the reason that PS4 has been and still mostly is selling better than Xbox despite having the weakest game library. Even though Microsoft has since dropped the DRM and lowered the price, the damage has already been done. PS4 has the positive hype and momentum now which is hard to shift and many casuals still think that Xbox One is using DRM. I was just as recently as two weeks ago talking to a casual gamer that has a Xbox 360 and still thought the Xbox One had DRM.

I stopped paying attention to review scores for Mario Party games a long time ago because Mario Party games have always received mediocre review scores, but I always had a lot of fun playing them with my friends... until that damn car was introduced in Mario Party 9 and completely ruined the game.

Just knowing that there is not any real Mario Party mode and that you are forced to use that stupid piece of crap car again ensures that I will not be buying this game. Which is a shame because I really loved Mario Party before the car. Please Nintendo, send that wretched car back to rot in hell where is belongs and bring back the classic Mario Party gameplay.

Xbox 360 by far and I honestly don't even see how this is even debatable. There is a reason that Sony made the PS4 more similar to the Xbox 360 than the PS3.

PS3 had better exclusives in the second half of the gen, but the Xbox 360 beats it at absolutely everything else. Xbox 360 had a far better online service which revolutioned gaming, a better controller which is considered by many to be the greatest controller of all time, a better marketplace, a better OS, quicker DLC for the industry's most popular games like GTA and Call of Duty, a better indie scene, industry changing innovations like achievements, better versions of multiplats most of the time, and it had better exclusives in the first half of the gen (PS3 had a terribly slow start).

Last great Mario Party was Mario Party 7.

Mario Party 8 was obviously meant to be a GameCube game and then they just tacked on poorly implemented motion controls to make it for Wii instead and the game suffered as a result.

Mario Party 9 was ruined by having to play in that stupid car.

I have no hype for Mario Party 10 because they are forcing that stupid car again. If they would have included a traditional Mario Party mode, I would be very hyped.
