Pretty flowers. They don't have anything like that in my parts.

I had the 5200 Jungle Hunt at home, and I played the original Jungle King complete with the Tarzan scream in the arcade.

My most-wanted GBA games:

1. Metroid Zero Mission

2. The Minish Cap

3. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

4. Sword of Mana

5. Golden Sun (which is among the games announced for the VC now)

6. Final Fantasy V (best version of that game available in the US)

7. Tales of Phantasia

8. Sword of Mana

Another game I hope Nintendo will seriously consider is Mother 3, the sequel to Earthbound (Mother 2). There's an excellent fan-translation out there, but it would be really awesome if Nintendo were to use that fan-translation, pay the folks behind it a small sum of money, and release it in English. Since it's Nintendo and Nintendo is notoriously protective of its IP, it isn't likely. But then, Nintendo has surprised me before.

I'm glad to see GBA games coming either way. While I think the 3DS would have been a better fit for them, I'll gladly play them on my Wii U.  I think at some point they probably will show up on 3DS, but Nintendo is trying to shore up the Wii U somewhat so I see why they're doing it. I hope Metroid Zero Mission and Tales of Phantasia show up on the Wii U or 3DS VC at some point. The games they've announced so far are great.

If I were working for Sega, I'd be doing everything I could to get a new Valkyria Chronicles made. Kickstarter, returning bottles, you name it.

VR is one of those things that sounds better on paper than in real life.For one thing, VR isn't VR to me until I can look at my own body and see the hand of the character I'm playing instead of my own body. For another thing, I can imagine that the porn industry will be all over Oculus Rift, and that will be quite the rabbit hole we'll go down...

Furthermore, the PS1 game Koudelka was made by the same people and can be seen as a spiritual predecessor to the Shadow Hearts.

I don't think it would have mattered it it had been finished. This studio was no Namco or Sega AM2.

In a way, you're right. We set the age of adulthood at 18 because we've determined it to be the best balance between peak physical prowess (especially with regards to the Armed Forces) and emotional maturity, even though very, very few people are truly mature at that age. We also amended the Constitution to allow 18-year-olds to vote - if a kid is old enough to pick up a M16 and kill people with it under military orders, why isn't he old enough to vote for the folks sending him to war? The age of consent is 15 or 16 depending on the state you live in. At some point we decided that it generally wasn't a good idea for 14 year olds to legally be able to engage in sexual relationships or make such a permanent decision as marriage.  You can't run for POTUS until you're at least 35 years of age, and even at that, a 35-year-old is not going to be seen by the general public as being experienced enough to lead the country. But by and large, teenagers are still not equipped to deal with life on their own. Some of the ones most easily preyed upon are the ones that seem the most "mature", because their false sense of confidence leads them into situations that they get trapped in.

At the time he became a general in the Union Army, Ulysses S. Grant, later the 18th President of the United States, had been living with his parents at the age of 39 because he had been unable to make a living on his own after being forced to sign a letter of resignation from the Army several years earlier for showing up for inspection drunk, as an alternative to a court-martial. When he got his commission as General, his father wrote him and told him that now that he had a good-paying job, he'd better keep it!

There are three Shadow Hearts games already: Shadow Hearts, SH: Covenant, and SH: From the New World. A fourth game would be cool though.
