Did we ever get this update or is it still coming?

Is there a link to the source that mentions this release date? I can't find it.

Has it been confirmed that the big games coming out this fall (Wind Waker HD, Donkey Kong, Mario 3D World) will be available on the eShop?

Also any guesses on how many GBs they'll take up? People with 32GB WiiUs...how many retail games can you fit? Thanks!

How did BIT.TRIP FLUX not manage to get in the "Hot Games" category?

In Corruption, Samus is not forced to follow orders from a male. She is a bounty hunter accepting an assignment willingly, and probably for a lot of money.

It looks like the planet, Phaaze, from Metroid Prime 3.

@ MakeMyBiscuit

I can't find it on Amazon. Do you have a link?

Edit: Found it:

http://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-All-Stars-Limited-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B0049DYNNO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1288322304&sr=8-1

• Pick 2D or 3D, don't try to do both
• Ridiculous doesn't begin to describe the "authorization" method of unlocking power-ups
• Make it less linear
• Incorporate the nunchuk
• Make Metroid Prime 4 (and let Retro develop it)

I've been saving coins since club nintendo first started. When will they all reset?

@ReddLionz72

Anyone can easily remember what items are mapped to a few buttons. The game screen would look so much better without all that clutter.

Unforgivable if the outline of the remote and nunchuk stay on the screen the whole time. I'm not two years old, I know where the A button is without having to look at a diagram.

"I am not in a position to say at the moment"

This does not equate to hinting.

Even if Nintendo is planning on releasing an HD Wii this year, Reggie still would have said what he said. If they're planning to announce a surprise at E3, there's no way he's going to give it away in this interview.

"Wii owners can already stream video to their machine via Netflix"

Am I missing something? I didn't think this was available yet.

He's concerned about how people look while wearing glasses? Oh well, I'm going to go flail my arms around holding a white wand while dancing on a white board...

I really hope to see this next year, but I kind of doubt that we'll see it before 2011 considering Metroid: Other M and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are announced for 2010.

Looks great. Hopefully we'll see this on Monday.

Nintendo risk 1: No HD support
Nintendo risk 2: new control scheme

Sorry Sony, but you haven't done anything as risky.

You put "hints at future Nintendo titles" in the subtitle of this article, so I clicked on it, and then you don't include these hints in the article? Not fair.

Let's have the SNES version on VC first please.

Twilight Princess - 176 hours.
I've played it like 5-6 times.

I don't think it can be for Zelda. They wouldn't put the words, "legend" and "story", in the same title (The Legend of Zelda: The Last Story). Those two words are synonyms and "story" is not as epic sounding as "legend".

Thank you, Nintendo! (for Empire)

Here's hoping for Jedi in two weeks.

Other than freezing a few times in almost 3 years, nothing has gone wrong.

@ Tails86

Are you playing on easy? Make sure by checking the options menu before you start. Other than that, just make sure to pick up all the hearts that enemies drop.

Star Wars (NES)
The Empire Strikes Back (NES)
Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures (SNES)
Shadows of the Empire (N64)
Rogue Squadron (N64)

@ StarDust

These really don't feel like an FPS. It's more of a FPA (first person adventure). And they are hard, but not hard in the sense that you get killed easily, but in the sense of exploring and solving puzzles.

Just preordered on Amazon for $46.99. Looking forward to it!

Wii Motion Plus drumming. You won't even need the drum kit. Just hit where the imaginary drum would be.

"clicking on an object will automatically make Guybrush do the correct thing to it....don’t let that fool you into thinking the game is any easier than the previous instalments in the series though"

Sorry, I am going to let this "fool" me into thinking that this game is easier than the previous installments. It sounds more like an interactive movie than a videogame. I loved the list of verbs you could choose from in the old games.

"This is a whole lot less fiddly than the 'SCUMM' interface used in the first two Monkey Island games, where you had 9 different options (Such as “look at,” “close,” “open” and “pick up”) and you just had to try various things on various objects."

This way of playing was not "fiddly". The actions that worked were the ones that made sense.

Alas, another great franchise has been kid-ified.

This game is awesome. I've gotten to the boss of level 2 twice but couldn't beat it yet.

Ryu. He does not seek fame and rewards, but only the next challenge.

@ Chicken Brutus

I agree with you. I am not saying that reviews should conform to anything. There is nothing wrong with a reviewer giving a game a high or low score if that is what he really feels the game deserves.

My point is that for someone considering buying a game that they haven't played before, they will be best served by looking at the average reviews of that game. That's the whole point of Metacritic. The highest reviews and the lowest reviews are probably written by fanboys and overly critical people, respectively. By looking at the average of what everybody thinks, you have a better idea about how good a game really is.

@ Chicken Brutus

Of course I don't think Metacritic should influence people reviewing a game. All I am saying is that since this review falls at the extreme low end of all reviews for this game, it should, perhaps, not be as trusted as reviews that fall in the middle of the spectrum.

Out of the 73 reviews for this game on Metacritic, only 2 of them were 80 or below. 8? Are you kidding me? This is easily a 10.

Any thoughts on how much this will cost? I'd guess $60.

Sweet, a week from Monday.

I didn't say that it would be bad, I just implied that I would be disappointed if this was the case since I generally don't like games that young children like.

"Our goal, really long-term, is to broaden our base" = make games that young children will like

Someone please tell me that the blue bar over your player can be turned off. It looks really annoying and disruptive. Do you get used to it?

Was considering this until I read the part about $225.

"even worse is the fact that DK Island has now taken the form of a giant rock shaped as DK’s head. It doesn’t make sense. What happened to the beautiful looking island that comprised the map screen in Donkey Kong Country?"

The island in DKC was in the shape of an ape's head. You can see it when you're on K. Rool's ship at the end.

The tone of that quote is not as brash as you, Nintendo Life, make it out to be. I bought Wii at launch and PS3 a year ago and I like both.

I don't think that Link looks any older in this picture than he does in Ocarina or Twilight. The art style's a little different and he looks angry, but I wouldn't say older or more mature.

Remember there was an article on here a few weeks ago that quoted some other website as saying that we would get SMK in early to mid June? Perhaps they were right. I bet we will all get it in June. Majora's Mask came out in all regions except NA at the same time, and the only reason NA didn't get it was so they could wait for the 300th game. Now that we have 300, there's no reason to delay this one.

This game does not deserve the suspense that it was given.

Wow, this is really sweet news. Time to sell Corruption on eBay.

Wow, just finished playing this, it's as good as I remember. OoT may have more dungeons, but the dungeons in MM are simply BRILLIANT!

Well it's six weeks late, but better late then never.
