I find the gamepad screen has extremely dull colors compared to my TV. And its older resistive style touchscreen is jarring after living with a modern smartphone for so long. I agree that it was probably wise of them to keep the 854 resolution, though. Also, I love the built in tv remote and quick start menu that the screen affords.

If they gave me access to the color settings the pad would look awesome. Brightness is not the only setting endusers need to change!

I actually prefer resistive touchscreens for gaming. They feel more precise than capacitive.

Anyone get Yoshi's Woolly Word?

I pre-ordered it on Amazon so I got it on launch day, but I haven't played it yet (I've been too busy with life). But, I've been eagerly awaiting its release, and I can't wait to play it.

I'm kinda surprised that I didn't find a thread for this game on the forum, or at the very least, some talk about its release in this thread.

If you have the yoshi play it with that...it's alot more fun and you'll laugh a few times when you make a egg out of yourself ha ha plus it's a life saver half the time...

I got it at launch too, but I've only played it once. Same with Kirby actually.

Project Zero (Fatal Frame) comes out next week. Who's excited?

I'm actually pretty excited for it even though I have limited experience with the series (I played a bit of Fatal Frame II on the oXbox). Is this a digital download title only, or is it getting a physical release as well? I've briefly read about the games release in Japan, but the reviews for the Japanese release sounded pretty positive.

Digital release only, unfortunately.

Worst part is; you'll probably need an external drive just to run it, since it's around 16 or so GB of memory.
This user really likes SEGA Saturn. Avoid at all costs.
