Or with taking all that time to play Paper Mario from beginning to end twice over.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Agreed, although it's still weird, with NSMB2 out in August there's not a whole ton of competition for it on 3DS as a holiday release, I don't think it would directly compete or hurt Luigi's Mansion or Paper Mario which are the only other post August big 3DS releases I can think of. Nintendo is the master of sitting on shit though; by multiple accounts Luigi's Mansion was a finished game last E3. Supposedly it got pushed into this year because Kid Icarus was going to be the fall game last year, but then that got pushed into this year. It's bizarre.

In any case though apparently Reggie wasn't supposed to say anything about this, but once he did so many people were asking about it that they had to throw out an announcement of some kinda ASAP, which is kind of amusing. Normally I give Kotaku a lot of shit, but good on them on this one.

Okay this is fucking brilliant, jarosh (from GAF) nails it again. The Uncharted music killed me.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I like how the Halo 4 trailer basically started E3 and ended it all at the same time. Sony and Nintendo just looked at each other and walked the fuck out.

"We done, cuh. Game Over."

I was speaking idiomatically.
