S.N.E.S.? SNES? Super NES? Super Nintendo? How do you say the name of the best console ever?
Genre's quite out of me. Good luck for entries, also, "SNES"! (I spell it like SuuNES though)

Yeah man, that Nintendo Playstation mock-up that surfaced recently looked sick!

Lol. Every time someone makes their first puzzle, they say it's very easy and I can barely answer 1 question.
It may be easy for someone who plays MMOs and Japanese games, I guess. Not for the rest of us

Oh man, sorry :) I did not look anything up while writing the riddles, so I thought it might be too easy (I'm not really a big trivia buff). I'll drop some hints later in the week. I'm 100% sure that you know the Japanese company, though. :D

I did a guess-check and lost. Probably could work it out if it was "ItsTooHard" I guess. xD I don't even know if which of my guesses were right or wrong. By the way, capitals differ with the giveaway URLs too, so what about that? ;o

I said in the OP that all letters should be capital regardless. But that is confusing, yeah. I'll use itstoohard next time, much better system. Another disadvantage is that it is much easier to bruteforce the last letter you are missing.

So you managed to create a GA where it generated a URL with all capital letters and no numbers?
I think I have 4/5 of the letters. I don't know the last one yet (#2).
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, unfortunately no variety there. Do you want a hint for #2? Most people seem to have a problem with that one.

Q2 was easy enough. #4 and #5 Googlable(Which were actually the games I knew). #1 and #3 are dead-ends for me. :P Well, both looked also Googlable but results didn't help. And I don't know for which one. xD
Okay actually reading up your comments above, let me assume I know #3, because something that anyone can know + starting company type, that I know for one almost surely. Any hint for #1 at least? :P

I had a sega... master system II and the megadrive/genesis

Those were great, too. I just think nothing can compete with the library of the SNES.

Ah, sorry. I changed the title from "easy" to "pretty hard" ;)

EDIT: Added an itstoohard version of the puzzle below.
So, I included an easy, short puzzle with one of my giveaways and several hundred people have entered that giveaway, but either have not read the description/not figured it out/don't care. I thought I'd post it here, maybe you guys are more interested. It's pretty basic as I did not know about itstoohard when I made it. Still, I hope you enjoy and that it is not too easy:
As a little bonus, I'm also giving away a copy of Bioshock this week. This giveaway is hidden and in order to enter, you need to find the correct letters to replace the Xs in this URL: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX/bioshock
Please do not share the solution. The letters need to be capital letters in the URL, no matter what they would be in the solution to the riddles below.
The hints are as follows (in order):
The first letter of the name of an RPG series in which an Avatar visits a vaguely British realm. Its designer liked to put himself in his games and was assassinated in his own MMO.
The second letter of the name of the MMO with the most player vs. player backstabbing. RIP "Nasty Rodent."
The last letter in the name of a Japanese playing card company that is now a successful manufacturer of little plastic dolls, among other things.
This letter appears Y+1 times in the name of the yearly event that brings the entire gaming industry to Los Angeles. Y is the number at the end of the name of the latest release of the studio formerly known as DMA Design, who had early success with a game about green-haired idiots.
The last letter of the first name of the designer of an indie game named after a type of hat.
Now, you can solve the above, or simply go over here to the itstoohard version of the puzzle: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/aR9IEfyu
