    Having just finished a quick play-through of the ten free Nintendo games given to me by the 3DS’s ambassador program, Nintendo’s peace offering to bloodthirsty nerds across the globe, I find myself wondering what caused the eighty dollar price cut in the first place.  Granted, the system was a bit overpriced and perhaps they could have included the ever important second joystick, but Nintendo clearly felt they had a winner in their new handheld.  What went wrong?  Well, I believe three parties to be responsible for the growing pains of the 3DS: the stores that sell it, Nintendo themselves, and *gasp* ourselves as the consumer.

    Many of you have probably seen the hilarious GI flowchart depicting the storyline of “Every RPG Ever”, which emphasizes the stale taste a typical JRPG leaves in our mouths. But is this problem really limited to a single genre? The game of... More
