Pokemon Platinum is in 3D! Unfortunately it’s only isometric 3D and only in a few areas, but hey – it’s progress. In other news today, it looks like the Wii, DS, and games all continue to do very, very, very well in all markets. All today’s posts are recapped below.
Just a quick notice, we’re recording the podcast Sunday night, and it should probably go up by Monday. We’ll be responding to all recent mailbag questions during the podcast, so be sure to get those submissions in. Any and all questions about anything – games, The Tanooki’s staff, how we’ve been lately, what the answer to the universe is – we’ll get to it all.
The plan was to start doing the podcasts every one or two weeks starting with this one, but we’ll see how that pans out now that Joey went and got his computer all fried (it was a PC) and Michael’s probably still bouncing off satellites. Perhaps we should start a fund to help them out?
