Cracked.com. You guys read it, I read it; everybody in the world reads it, from Los Angeles to San Diego to San Francisco. Nobody can escape its grip of procrastination assistance, made possible by its staff members who sit around and write things that we all find interesting so we can impress our soon-to-be ex-girlfriends with the information we “read online somewhere.”
It’s natural that we enjoy lists, because they’re really ADD- and for those of us who need to bring traffic to our sites, they’re an indispensable tool. Take for example this interview. I could definitely write this interview down in such a way that would be honest and forthright, but that wouldn’t get me as many hits because nobody cares about good bloggism; they care about lists. So here’s an interview, presented as a list, of things I made up to put in a list so I could format this interview as a list.

#10: Who I Was Interviewing
The folks I had the pleasure of talking to over the last week were none other than senior Cracked geniuses/writers/editors Soren Bowie and Michale Swaim, both of whom worked on a recent video feature for the site’s “After Hours” series where a cast of characters get together and argue about things that the Internet cares about. This week’s topic was “Is Mario a douchebag?”, and while that’s clearly related to everything we care about on NintendoEverything, I’m honestly not quite sure why I was approached to do an interview. Pretty sure they aren’t going to do another Nintendo-related video anytime soon, and they certainly don’t need more publicity than Cracked gives them already, but whatever. I’m down for an interview if they are.
You can get a look at Kingdom Hearts 3D’s opening in the screenshots above, as well as other images included in the latest Famitsu scans.
On this week’s episode: Nintendo at GDC, including Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, Mario Tennis Open, Kid Icarus: Uprising, an interview with Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata, and eShop games.
Spector says Epic Mickey “did exceptionally well”, talks improvements, DuckTales and Marvel interest
So this is a little bit awkward. Junction Point’s Warren Spector has opened up on improvements he would make to Epic Mickey, but we all know a sequel is on the way – and it should be announced next week. Spector says he would improve the game’s camera, would bring it to additional platforms, and would include co-op and full voice acting. Two of these points were mentioned in a newsletter distributed by Disney.
Spector also revealed that Epic Mickey “was the best-selling single-platform game the company has ever done” and once again expresses interest in making a new DuckTales game (as well as a Marvel title).
Head past the break for Spector’s commentary.
It appears that Nintendo will be releasing a number of short videos to spread the word about Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir. The next clip will be released on Monday.
