Publicly debuting in Japan I loveLuigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. It is filthy with ghosts and adorable little touches (physics fun, Luigi’s whistling to the score). It even has some great multiplayer (and inspired the second bestNintendo Landminigame). So when we go to Tokyo Game Show in September, I’m going to try and track down one of theseLuigi’s Mansionarcade machines. A little less charming as a first-person shooter (a bomb has been added as well), but I will appreciate the novelty....

Oculus announced that price point today during a livestream and also honed in on a release dateat last....
