I would have been #3 on the high scores if I had submitted it.  $276576

hmm, they made a typo in the trailer.  It's the 20th anniversary, not the 10th.

I'm impressed the cord didn't break

Make sure you find the super secret selection screen where a metroid takes you to Zelda 1 and 2 soundboards

I bet we see a DS equivalent of the GameBoy Player.  Or maybe even a DS Virtual Console.

Helps to use the keyboard

assuming it's range reaches the bathroom.

"Iwata summed it the basic idea nicely: players would spend time on the 3DS version, building up their character and collecting stuff, then show off their skills on the Wii U version.

Sakurai noted that as the Wii U is an HD system, this version could offer 60 frames per second visuals, high quality graphics, dynamic effects, and smooth character movements.

While it is important to have both versions of the game be enjoyable on their own, Sakurai feels that connectivity between the two versions will make the experience even more enjoyable.

Closing off the little section offering vague hints about the new Smash Bros. games, Sakurai said that his aim with the 3DS version is to offer players a slightly different experience from conventional Smash Bros. games. He believes that there is merit in having skilled and unskilled players play together, so one emphasis will be on elements of players helping one-another."

In a few hours is Nintendo's press conference where they will reveal a new console system.

Microsoft's press briefing consisted of mostly Kinect stuff and announcing a new Halo trilogy.

Sony's showed sequels, a Playstation TV with 3D glasses that allow two local players to have their own full screen, and the NGP which is now the "Playstation Vita" and will cost the same as the 3DS.

and just in time for the flood of E3 news is my new site... DIGI.VG.  Pronounced "digi dot vigi".  It is sort of a re-purposing of digibutter to be totally gaming focused.  (Your same digibutter account works there)  It will only show gaming topics, and the home page will group similar posts together (sort of like Google News), so it will always be a good view of the popular latest news.  Right now it's a really rough beta proof-of-concept, but expect it become more polished over time.

This lets digibutter focus on community and other random crap.  I can do whatever I want to digibutter and not worry about scaring away people who just want gaming news (which, we actually get a lot of traffic for btw).

the thing is, Nintendo is finally committing 100% to connectivity as an entire package.  GBA and DS connectivity never went anywhere, because they never committed to it.  Sony will, much like how they did with PS Move, try to tack on the latest fad to the PS3.  I imagine that Microsoft will have Windows 8 tablets interface with Xbox 360 now too.  It may be better tech, but it only works if everyone has it from the beginning.

Kinect, kinect, kinect, Minecraft, kinect, new Halo trilogy  *yawn*

i'll settle for chameleon

But don't worry, there should be enough money in my bank account to keep digibutter going until the end of the world in October.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

it's fake. CGI

Madrid (CNN) -- A 25-year-old Spanish man has been ordered by a judge to leave home and look for a job after he took his parents to court for stopping his allowance money.

Also ordered Super Scribblenauts for $17

and amazon gave me free month of Prime 2-day shipping :)

What ever did we do before then?  In celebration of this Digibutter A-nerr-versary, I have imported all the old Digital Butterfly Forum posts into the new Digital Butterfly board to insure this priceless collection is not lost in the drift of time.  May our children, our children's children, and all future generations enjoy these forever and ever.

it's worth a trip back to where it all started, even if many of the actual photos are now broken :(

What's your favorite?
