Japanese is a strange language and has a lot of weird quirks. Pronunciation and phonetics are a couple of them.

I'm still baffled how Americans managed to wring "Harry-carry" out of harakiri.

Because English is a stupid language that mangles vowels. One sound per vowel is much more sensible.

Is there any more to do in the 3DS Animal Crossing game than there was in the DS one? Considering buying that just as a commuter train time waster. I guess is there $30 worth of stuff to do in that game, or am I going to be sorry I bought it in a week.

Yes I know it's highly subjective.

When I was a kid I overheard some parents looking for a game to buy for their kid. One of them suggested this one called "May-your-ka's Mask". I have no idea how she got that.

vvv Oh ok well that solves that. I did not know that.

I'll just post this here because it is as good as anywhere:

Is Nintendo pronounced Neentendo in Japan? I ask because Ni is Nee and there is no i sound like tin.

This has been causing me great consternation. Have we been saying it wrong all along?

Ni in Japanese is always pronounced the same way, and that is Nee, or how the Knights Who Say "Ni" pronounce it. If spoken at an ordinary pace, you probably wouldn't notice the difference. Phoenetically, everyone else says "Nentendou."

If you like furniture and clothes and making friends with your villagers and just doofing around in general? Sure, it's great. And there's certainly more to do than in the DS version. Plus you can see other people's houses via Streetpass, and tour their towns even while the players are offline (but you won't be able to get items from the offline versions). Some people have ridiculously pretty towns and I have no idea how they did some of them.

Xenoblade (assuming you have a new) in April? Other than that, we probably won't hear much until E3 time.

I ended up not going back to WalMart last night.

But today I saw that Toys R Us price matches fredmeyer.

I can confirm you can get Smash for $20 at TRU right now. Just bring the fred meyer link in.

Also picked up their last copy of Golf for $10. So $70 of games for $30. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Now I have a feeling I will have to buy some amiibo.

Thinking of going back tomorrow to pick up the two Pokemons. 100pts in coins and two games I can resell for $30 or so and then buy Bayonetta.

Definitely worth it. The new mayor-mechanic means you get a lot more involved with your town, especially as you build and plant and expand. I loved the first AC, was mildly disappointed with the DS sequel, and NL is just amazing with its attention to detail and incorrigible charm.

Also, reminder not to upgrade your firmware if you are on an "old" 3DS and use the region-free hack. It was patched yesterday thanks to the dumb kids cheating on Pokemon.

I played the Codename STEAM demo and I don't think I like that game at all. The gameplay just seems really tedious and nowhere near as satisfying as Valkyria Chronicles. Enemies just come out of nowhere constantly giving you no time to react. Also what is loving with that waiting time during the enemy turns, it's insane.

I really don't like how your guys get stunned if you get ambushed on your turn. It's really frustrating that it punishes you that hard for not knowing there was a guy where you couldn't see. If it were just damage, I could deal with it.
