More coins = More Extra lives = Lower difficulty = Me unhappy

Yeah, they ^certainly^ weren't thinking about 3DS revisions.

Remember when Gamecube Wavebird controllers got 100+ hours? Good times...

The last two years have been nothing compared with 2010's press conference in which we got tons of new games:
Kirby
Metroid
Donkey Kong
Zelda
Goldeneye

This year they completely destroyed any interest I might have had with Wii U by focusing on Fitness and Karaoke games, the gimmick controller, and Nintendo Land. On the other hand, With the growing amount of 3DS software, I might end up getting a 3DS within the next year or two.

Much better!

Super Monkey Ball
The first one.

Sorry, but no. The touch screen is much less accurate than that of most smartphones/tablets.

Any idea why they're losing so much cash?

Could be some kind of contract issue, or they may be planning a compilation and don't want the VC games to be a drag on compilation sales?

And the box art is generic logos on a white background? Yeah right.

This is cool

Actually, Kinect has been used in flying autonomous robots to map out building in search and rescue situations:

Voice acting in a Nintendo game? * Shock Horror *
Glad to see they're finally catching up... I mean it only took 17 years.

@Shadowflash
Triple Trouble is a much better game. I've never played Sonic Blast because it's fairly rare.

Triple Trouble is a must buy if you haven't played it before. It would've been a much better Sonic 4 than the officially named Sonic 4.

Sigh I thought Nintendo gave up censorship years ago, but I guess not.

@Grackler
I said that they can't self center fast enough, not they can't self center at all.

My experience with the 3DS circle pad was not good, so I really hope they use true analogue sticks. Circle pads don't self center and can't change direction fast enough.

If Pokemon didn't jump the shark 10 years ago, it just did now.

It's a little too big and parallelogramish.

Inbelievable!

D'oh! Congratulations winners!

Their reasoning makes sense though. If they patched it in later editions of the game, the previous owners of the game would have an unfair advantage, which would make it even less fair than it is now.

Sony can include PS1 game upscaling, but Nintendo can't include upscaling for their last generation console? Lame.

I don't expect a PS4 announcement.

I sure hope Sony won't go with "Playstation 4." I'm sure they'll still use the Playstation brand, but hopefully they still won't use the lame numbering system. It'll definitely be an E3 to remember.

As far as I know, it's definitely legal in the US as long as you don't don't give the back ups away, or get rid of the cartridge while keeping the backups.

A Playstation 3

YES

I got one. It's pretty epic.

Maybe they could've done that 14 years ago, back when customization was a new thing.

Holy cow! Five years already?!

It was a major improvement over the N64, and had plenty of great exclusives. It's probably one of the best Nintendo consoles in terms of games.

Good job Reggie, even if you completely fail to bring good games to America, at least we don't have to pay too much for the games that we have.

Well... It's his company, and it's his problem if this is a bad decision.

The fact that games like this aren't being brought to America is why I stopped buying Nintendo consoles.

One of the first 3DS games that actually interests me

Well... they're not getting any of my money until they provide a product I would want to buy.

10 years already... Wow.

Yeah, I never really understood why this game is held in such high regard on the Dreamcast. It's fun for about 10 minutes at a time, and that's it.

Somehow I doubt that a single game is going to boost sales dramatically. The Mario formula has been beaten to death, and even though this game looks visually good, the gameplay looks bland.

If Nintendo added backwards compatibility with GB/GBA games, I would buy one in instant. However, they're probably not going to do that.

Well, I'm not surprised. I mean they've put out a total of... zero pieces of original content this year?

It's dumb name in my opinion.

Awesome. Let's hope it's challenging though.

The physics were horrible. End of story.

I think that if it hadn't been a Mario-themed game, it would've scored more around 4/10.

I thought it was really fun.

Way to expensive. $170 for a 1 Terabyte hard drive is just too much when you can get the same amount of storage for just $80.

Sound's cool, but I already have about 15 books that I've got to read.
