    • Asher: I haven't heard anything about that. Where are you hearing it?

      • It's a rumor that resurfaces every now and then. I think he was being sarcastic and trying to say that the rumor of Konami cancellations is so obviously wrong it doesn't really need an official word to confirm it's invalid.

          That's true, but I think it nonetheless holds some validity on its own.

            Not at all.

            The Capcom rumour has surfaced on a number of gaming sites.
            "The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

            • It wouldn't shock me if it were true. MS has never been shy about shelling out loads of cash to try and increase their position in the market. And Capcom would help a lot in breaking into the Japanese market.

              That said, I'm guessing it's probably not true.

                Sure looks that way to any sane non-biased people.

                • No one here disagreed, so sure.

                  • I'm sure someone will, eventually.
                    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                      That's one way to gain dominance - buy all the gaming companies. Then they have to support the 360

                        They tried to buy Apple but all they got was 20%.

                        • You joke, but it really is a naughty thing for Microsoft to do. Sure, exclusives are bound to happen, but sheesh. They've got a great console, there shouldn't be a need to gobble up everything. But then again, this is Microsoft we're talking about - no one comes close to their level of finesse in that regard.

                            That's been my argument all along, and it's 100% true from every game we've seen.
                            I think Wario Ware: Smooth moves will be interesting to see how the controller is implemented. Apparently you have to make some wacky controller moves during the game. Will rent in a few weeks.

                            Of course, this is a game of minigames, so it really doesn't count, right?

                            • Well, I haven't played Wario Ware, but from what I've seen in a video of the game, I think a huge mistake they repeated after Rayman is that the minigames are largely single-player. Rayman is really fun to play with friends, and it would have been doubly so if you could play the same game at the same time, without having to alternate (a few minigames in Rayman do it, but not nearly enough). It's much more fun to try and beat a person at the same time, than watch then and try to match their score later. And from I've seen of gameplay videos of Wario Ware, I did not see a single multiplayer minigame.

                              • hmm yes, that is a problem...

                                I have heard that most games (if not all) are pass-the-wiimote.

                                This is one reason why its a rental for me before purchasing...
