This week's PB & Jason revolves around a real solution for Nintendo and its current market problems.
While there's a lengthy discussion of how I believe Nintendo can genuinely find an audience in today's video game marketplace, don't be fooled: PB & Jason has a lot more than that!
The former PS2 game now has an HD version in development.
During Sony's Pre-TGS press conference, Square Enix revealed the development of an HD version of Final Fantasy X for the game's tenth anniversary. The game, announced on stage by producer Shinji Hashimoto, is in the early stages of development, so Square Enix did not release any assets to coincide with this announcement.
This might be the worst game I've ever reviewed.
That's a bold name for a game – it immediately makes you think, "This game must be badass." Or at least that's what developer AGO Games thought you'd think about the game based on its title. Put up or shut up, I say – and based on my experience, AGO ought to be shutting up right about now. The Asskickers is a completely terrible game that achieves little more than being just that, a game.
Why the premature 3DS launch has done nothing but bring problems for the future of the system.
When people said that the 3DS was just like the Virtual Boy, I laughed them off. Yeah, they both have a 3D gimmick, but neither is truly comparable… or at least that's what I thought. While the two may share some rudimentary similarities, they are similar because they both suffered extremely botched launches – the worst in Nintendo's history.
3DS owners can look forward to Monster Hunter 4, Mario Tennis, and Fire Emblem.
Last night, Nintendo hosted a 3DS-centric press conference that revealed a variety of new games, details on existing titles, and a number of release dates and windows. The leaked peripheral that will feature a second circle pad wasn't featured at the show, though details were revealed officially by Nintendo on their website. Monster Hunter 3 G, which will utilize the peripheral, was showcased in depth, and its sequel, Monster Hunter 4 was officially revealed for the 3DS and teased with a short trailer.

Come see Nintendo's 3DS-centric press conference as it happens and join the staff as they discuss the announcements as they happen.
Starting at 11PM EDT tonight, Nintendo's pre-TGS, 3DS-centric press conference can be seen here streaming live! Now that Famitsu has spilled the beans on Monster Hunter 3 G and the second circle pad attachment, it's likely these items will come up during the conference. We'll likely learn if the attachment is just for the game or if Nintendo has bigger plans for the peripheral.
An introduction to the world of Dark Souls, and the story that will unfold.
A franchise worth sinking your teeth into

The commando returns for the sequel to the remake of the classic NES platformer.
The second iteration of Capcom’s Bionic Commando reboot once again takes us to the brutally difficult world of old-school NES platformers. Gameplay improvements and an awesome soundtrack await returning players as they precariously swing the commando from level to level. Technical issues keep the game from feeling too polished as a whole, but fans of the original may be pleasantly surprised as they play through the game’s many environments.
