Hey, you guys actually got my tip? Awesome!

It had better not be! The analog sticks are a good thing, but that new button layout is TERRIBLE!

I think that the 3DS was worth the $250 that I paid that midnight in march last year, but in the current market, it wouldn't have worked very well to price it at that in the long run. With the iphone and tablets around, people don't want to buy video game consoles as much as they used to and a cheaper price is necessary to sell a console. Though it's kind of bad news that the industry is taking a hit, I'm actually glad. This means that consoles and games in the near future will have to be cheap or they won't sell many!

Haha, and you can even use the D-Pad to drive your car, too!

This looks cool and I'm slightly interested, but I seriously have never even heard of most of those games! What the heck is Valkyrie No Bouken?

Haha for some reason I first read this as goooooal grandpa and was really confused for a minute!

Now if they'd just publish a soundtrack of all the remixes from Generations...

Yeah I picked up a Wii about 3 years after launch. That was quite a mistake!

I just got back into Metroid Prime 2, so I'll be finishing that one up this weekend. In between, I'll be playing Kid Icarus: Uprising and I'm going to try to unlock more treasure hunt panels and see if I can finish that last one!

Challenge accepted. This game looks too easy, I could do this for breakfast!

I really did appreciate this game. Honestly, I think Nintendo has been getting waaaay too over reliant on their good old franchises. Not that they haven't done anything new recently, but I can't even remember the last time a "new new" Nintendo game got such mass coverage as this. Everything else has just kind of been swept under the rug it seems. It was a real breath of fresh air to see a brand new thing like this come out of Nintendo and I think this game alone can stand as a testament to Nintendo's vision of innovation.

If this is true then I'll have no choice but to buy the Wii U at launch.

I think it may come to the Wii U, but for different reasons. Though nothing's confirmed yet, it's rumored that the PS3 and Xbox successors will feature a ban on used games and require that the console must remain constantly connected to the internet in order to play any games, for single or multi player. If such rumors are actually true, then those consoles will fail without question. This would lead to all the publishers flocking to the Wii U. We'll just have to wait and see.

I've honestly never had any problems at all with the controls and I agree with Sakurai. For the style of this game, there is no other control scheme that would've worked without sacrificing the gameplay. People just aren't playing it right if the control scheme seems horrendous to them. Though I will admit it's a steep learning curve, you should have a rudimentary grasp of it by chapter 3.

Haha, I like the zelda reference in the article!

Yes, there's finally one in the midwest area!

I'm actually really glad urban champion is one of them. There's not even the slightest chance that I would ever spend money on that game, so it's nice that it's free!

Metroid!

I find it funny that Iwata's holding the Wii U controller, while there's a picture of a bunch of Wiis behind him. A bit misleading, eh? Haha, why is that Wii picture even there?

Is there a site like this for the US? My circle pad broke after several extended marathons of Kid Icarus: Uprising.

I'm very pleased with this, but am I the only one who likes to have a huge and crowded home screen? There's just something about seeing all the icons...

This game is going to be awesome!

Perhaps this will turn out pretty good. I'm kind of worried though, seeing as how they forgot that NSMB already got a 2nd game. Or if this really is the official sequel, then what does that make NSMBW?

I just picked up Xenoblade Chronicles earlier this week, but I haven't gotten any time to sink my teeth into it. That'll be most of the weekend. Otherwise, I'll try beating Dillon's Rolling Western.

This is the best news I've heard from Nintendo since the announcement of the 3DS. It's been way too long since the last pikmin game!

I hope it's not NSMBMii. That game honestly looks like it belongs on the wii. I want to see a game that does what Super Mario Galaxy did and really show off the console's power.

Man I wish I could go! I have a child that needs to be blessed!

Haha I would laugh if Nintendo removed the Game Gear games next week. I guess we'll just find out won't we?

No, this is Mega Man Legends 3. They're reviving it!

I'll bet this is some dude just trolling the internet and trying to see how much speculation and press he can drum up. All the same, it could very much be a viable date.

Well obviously this is just three gamecubes taped together. What I'd like to know is how many bits this thing is!

I found this to be the best game on the 3DS yet!10/10 Personally, I don't see why there's all the flak for controls. It's a learning curve and takes getting used to, but by chapter 3 it's like second nature. I didn't find the learning curve for these controls any harder than learning any other new game's controls, but maybe it just depends on the person playing.

You know this may seem to be a bit odd of a question, but who's hands are those holding the Wii U tablet? How do you think they feel about seeing their hands on news sites and gaming networks everywhere?

Ahem... http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/03/nintendo_reportedly_has_8128_billion_yen_in_the_bank
Nintendo is immortal.

Happy belated anniversary, Sonic!

Yeah, says the guy who said that Nintendo's original price of the 3DS was way too low...

This game is just downright disgusting. It only goes to show how sick and sadistic some game developers in this industry are. I don't care how great the gameplay is, there are just some things that are simply too far.

This would be awesome! I hope its true!

If you notice, the controller uses slide pads, not analog sticks. They did that so you can shove it in a backpack or take it with you and the analog sticks won't stick out and get in the way. The controller will have some limited functionality away from the console.

Eww.. I'm still not sold on this. Once it becomes a complete necessity, I'll buy it though.

If I remember correctly, didn't somebody at Nintendo say that they would like to make a super mario world sequel, when the 3DS was first announced at e3 two years ago? A real sequel not a spinoff of sorts like yoshi's island. That game was great tho.

Wasn't it rumoured to be called the Nintendo Stream when it was still project cafe? I like Stream much better!

Why does this game HAVE to be made by Sakurai? There's plenty of talented people over at Nintendo. Why don't they put someone else on it?

What are you guys talking about, saying that there was no worthwhile releases on the wii in October?! Have you forgottten about Kirby's Return to Dreamland?

Ouch! Nothing says **** you like getting beat out by Zumba! Well, I did my part. Skyward sword is on my top 5!

Angry Birds! Haha no, I'm kidding.

I played the first wario land and it was great, but it was a bit too short. I'm glad this came to my 3DS it looks much better!

Or you could just go out and buy a gameboy advance!
