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.
Join Jason as he plays the long-awaited follow-up to an NES original! Update: We'll be starting soon!
Tonight's Monday Night PlayBit is beginning a little bit later than MNPBs usually do: 9:00 PM ET. Why? The PlayBit will last two hours, and then we'll be covering Nintendo's 3DS event as it happens at approximately 11:00 PM ET! Tune in for everything tonight!
Two issues ago: Jason mocked the idea of a Circle Pad attachment on the 3DS. This issue? Jason is completely disappointed.
But first, this week there is a bit of discussion on a few other topics: Team Meat! Fox News and "green" games! Rock of Ages!
Delayed due to some technical difficulties, the latest issue of PixlTalk is finally available!
With the PS3 price drop, Nick, Chessa, Jason, and Nate talk about the effectiveness of the cut and if it will pull in a larger market share for the third place Sony system. This leads very naturally into a discussion on the Microsoft-Sony team up rumor, which also brings up a discussion of the proper resting place of the casual gamer (hint: it's not the Wii).
PB & Jason has been here for a full year! Join Jason for a celebration issue!
Please note, contents of the celebration issue will be remarkably similar to the contents found inside any other PB & Jason, brief retrospection notwithstanding.
As I sit here, pondering how to approach a review for the game Hyperdimension Neptunia, my mind begins to wander...
What did I ever do to deserve this?
There's so much disappointment in virtually every aspect of Hyperdimension Neptunia. The concept is creative but doesn't work. The characters were created with seemingly no purpose except to be viewed as borderline risque versions of the companies or consoles they represent. The battle system, while operable, is completely convoluted, offering players too many meaningless, worthless attack options that grow to be too complex for any sort of general consumption. There are so many issues, it's hard to tell where to begin.

Jason's played nearly three hours of XenoBlade Chronicles. Check out the replays below!
Q: Just how many Circle Pads should Nintendo add in their rumored 3DS revision?
A: None. Duh. Wake up and smell the PB & Jason, people.
Jason played Wario Land: Shake It! was tonight's Monday Night PlayBit. Catch the replay inside!
There are a lot of games that are overlooked on different platforms, and despite owning Wario Land: Shake It! for several years, despite hearing it recommended time and time again, and despite the high critical acclaim the game has received, it's one I've overlooked for too long. Tonight, I'm fixing that issue. Now, I've played the game. Catch the replay inside!
