That Nintendo site's podcast mentioned the embargo being lifted on Monday. Is that correct?

"That Nintendo site" refers to Nintendo that Goes.

I have been playing this non-stop throughout the weekend (well in between barbecue sessions 
).
It's a typical Sakurai game: hyper energetic, beautiful music, simple gameplay but mad-packed with content and customization.
The dialogue IS outstanding - I thought it would be annoying but at this point, half the game is listening to the discussions.

How do you find the controls? Have you tested different control schemes, specifically the Sin and Punishment style controls?
Also is there team customization in multiplayer? Can you setup 2 VS 4 or 2 VS 2 for example?

Only played with the default control scheme. The controls don't work 100% fine, but you get used to them. It seems like control will be one of the "eh" points of the game though.

As good as MK7?

All scores seem pretty close minus that destructoid one.
Seems like his biggest problem is that the game comes with a stand.

seems to be an 8.5 overall, just a bid sad for sakurai that it doesn't get 9.0+ but i myself don't care for scores and i like the game a lot.
Pretty sure he doesn't care about petty shit like that.
Thanks for the heads up, it has been fixed now. If anyone finds any other errors or if you find any other cards to add to that list, let me know.

I was kind of on the fence with this one but I think the 5 from Destructoid may have sold me.

that's some dedicated fans he got. who is that guy?
Wonder what happens when the reviewer is a troll, though.
@Diprosalic: a guy who will give 10/10 if a game has "Kirby" in its name, because it's usually so easy and fun! ^o^ that's enough! but other games? must... get... hits... for the website...
The Mario Kart 7 5/10 review is another awesome case.
Also a comment said something about checking the Nintendo Facebook page for comments (dunno if positive, negative, trollish, i couldn't find a single weird thing about them)
He's known for being a joke character in the industry. He gave Deadly Premonition a 10 and games like Assassin's Creed 2 a 3/10 or something.

but that seems about right hmm. now i'm conflicted. the MK7 on the other hand is wrong.
The controls seem to be the frustrating part, as expected. I will have to practice simply moving around on the ground once I get my copy. That, and take frequent breaks. I can see the content's worth exploring, but the controls will take some accomodating.
Also, nothing sounded trolling about the Sterling review to me. It actually sounded perfectly reasonable and about what I had expected.

How about a 10/10 for Killzone 3?

Hopefully collecting all the AR cards won't be a major pain the in the rear. Already ordered the Club Nintendo free ones and will probably pick up the upcoming Nintendo Power that has one.
Not the best example, because those votes are probably right that way.
A (imho) better example: 4 (or 5, i don't remember) out of 10 @ Sonic Colours.
5/10 @ Mario Kart 7.
etc.
Joke character indeed, most of the time.
Seems most of the cards are found in booster packs that are given away at various events, so you'd have to try to get those. I hope Nintendo finds a way to mass distribute those... I'd even pay for some, if they wanted to sell those booster packs.
When the reviews all same the same thing (uncomfortable to play after 30 minutes), it's time to just take it for the truth. I can see this going either way for me...
1. Hurts initially, like MK7, but I quickly adapt to it and love the game.
2. Hurts all the time and I stick the game on eBay.
Either way, I'm itching for a new 3DS game.

3. Metroid Prime Hunters style; destroys your hands in the first few days (DAYS, not hours), but then you adapt, because you still want to play the game as it is good.
I'm not saying it's a good thing that the game gives cramps, etc, mind you.
I'm just thinking that reviewers get their games for free and whine if they don't like controls in the first few minutes -- players pay for the game and, if they really like it, can do amazing things.
P)I'm left handed and i adapted to right handed controls for The Rolling Western!

People keep saying this about Prime. I never ever found it, in fact I found the DS a better system for FPS that dual analogues...
Ah well, I've just got special hands I suppose

Hope so mate, I don't want to dislike a Sakurai game.

Jim Sterling disliking this game makes me want to purchase it even more and I wanted to buy it in the first place.

Jim Sterling, like usual.
I feel like Destructoid is like those paparazi magazine, with naked stars inside this, or the photo of Tom Cruise eating an ice cream.

I gotta' say, the format of that video review was really cleaver of IGN. Kudos. :lol
Also, as I've feared, it seems as if the stylus only controls can get demanding after a while.
Oh well, thank god I still have this then:
Don't see why people like this. The little plastic nib moves around unless you cut off circulation to your thumb.
