Oh

On brighter news. The city in the new SimCity looks wonderful, but can it live up to the gameplay of SimCity 2000?

Nintendo won't do nsmb 2 on ds because it is a system seller, and they want to sell a lot of 3ds systems, and another mario exclusive will do just that.

You're right of course but that's not always their reasoning, see Pokemon Black & White 2 on DS! Tho i put that down to the Pokemon guys being lazy and slow beyond belief. At least, they're putting out some 3DS apps to cross-support it, so it may as well be a 3DS release i guess.

I disagree with this.
Pokemon BW2 is on DS because BW was. The entire competitive metagame is DS based, I'm not so sure if a 3DS game would have backwards compatibility with a DS.

Although I think that the real reason is that this is the third game of the generation (there has always been 3 games per generation outside of Japan) and that having it on a different console would be a stupid move.

Ahh good old sim city 2000. The sole reason I rocked up to computer studies in high school.

Oh, that and Diablo. If only our grades incorporated your diablo character level...

Sorta kinda related.

I did a video game studies unit at uni. It was awesome! In the media school though (I did a BA so it was flexible enough to move around). I had a great time and ended up with an HD!! Funny thing though, was all the assignments were essays, the longest being 2000 words, which I thought was ace (having done a lot of history units and the like).

All the media studies guys were horrified. No multiple choice?? We have to write whole sentences??? Aaa, it was a shock to my system. I thought that perhaps I should have gone into a media course instead of busting out massive referenced essays and the like for my BA.
