South Park?!?!
That's either the most bizarre or the most awesome thing I've ever heard. Judgement to be reserved until the first previews come out.

| #4 Posted on 5.6.12 1141.40 | Instant Rating: 8.55 | | Here's a big article on the South Park RPG (which actually sounds pretty awesome), and majornelson.com has two press releases from Microsoft detailing all the new entertainment apps (with barely any mention of games, though I'm pretty sure Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD will be a day-one buy for me). | Zeruel

The Sega Dreamcast controller was so awesome in that regard. I loved picking my plays in NFL 2K off the vmu screen. I wish Nintendo and Sony would make their portable devices be able to sync up with the game console abd act as a controller with a screen. You souldn't need to have one but be able to get added gameplay if you.
Kudos MS.
