Guys, did you forget that Mewtwo is a failed clone of Mew, not it's actual 2nd evolution form? No, I'm not talking about the movie. In the games, there are hints in journals you can find in a building I can't remember where exactly pointing to this (same place where you can find the Master Ball I think). That Pokémon in the video could be Mew's true 2nd evolution form.

What's the point in doing this? Why not just release it digitally as DSiWare, or better yet, 3DS e-Shop? It will get more recognition that way and sell more, and you'll be able to buy it at anytime.

Unless they fix the game to be more like the old trailers, they shouldn't even bother with porting it to the Wii U.

People who treat their stuff this poorly don't deserve to buy or own anything...

22GB? Whatever. I've downloaded games around that large before.

Some of you wondering why Lego City is that large? The most likely explanation for this could be for a few reasons.
1- The world you explore is really huge and their is a lot to do.
2- There's a lot of voice acting.
3- It's both 1 and 2.

When I first saw this article, I thought "oh god, is this the same father lying to his daughter again". Thankfully, it wasn't. This was actually quite a pleasant surprise.

Unlike the Wind Waker one, she knows that she is playing an altered version of a game she played before. The father changed the game because she wanted to play as Pauline, not because he wanted to "protect" her from reality.

This is the type of family bonding that I did not get from the other father. A father that doesn't lie to his children and doesn't expect them to be unable to handle reality. A father that talks with his children about problems they are having, no matter the size of it just so he can make them happy.

I approve of this.

I wonder if he is going to do this with the other games in the SMB franchise.

If you knew anything about Minecraft you would of already known this a long time ago...

It took almost 30 years, but we finally got a proper good video game based movie. It has set new standards for all video game movie adaptations. Hopefully, future video game based movies will follow suit as well.

@Dodger

Umm, no. She is just a parody of main characters/npcs with overly dramatic back stories in most generic fps's/other game genres.

I hope the 1st game will be on the Wii U. I never really liked to play games out of order (same thing for sequals to movies and books), especialy if it's story driven.

Not the best fan-made movie I've seen, but at least it's better than what Hollywood could ever do.

Also, James Rolfe (AVGN), Doug Walker (Nostalgic Critic), Brent Black (brentalfloss), and Craig Skistimas (StutteringCraig)! Did not expect to see any of them in this. I recognize some of the other actors/actresses, but I can't quite put my finger on who they are.

It's not just better lighting, dynamic shadows, and higher resolution that's better. It performs a lot better with a lot more animated on-screen enemies/objects/coins with full 3D levels/landscapes unlike any of the previous NSMB games.

Just look at the world map and you can tell it would be impossible to do on the Wii without some watering down.

@grimbldoo

Now THAT I like. Doesn't look dull and gloomy but yet still looks realistic. Oh, and IT LOOKS MORE LIKE LINK unlike the other picture.

Maybe if they give him longer hair and put his hat on, it might look better, but this art style doesn't really belong in the Zelda universe in my opinion. Add more color or make it more like Twilight Princess and I might like it.

Did not expect NL to post an article of one of Shokio's videos. I'm subscribed to him, so I already saw this.

I loved the reactions the people made when they realized who showed up.

Whatever. I was going to get a 1/2TB hardrive anyway and put all of my downloadable games onto it.

From the start, it was obvious that the Basic bundle was for more of people who don't game that much while the Deluxe was for more of the enthusiast gamers.

@shinpichu

He could just copy and paste any of the Zelda storyline's. None of them are really that complex. You can easily change/apply whatever you want without being too different from any of the games in the series.

Programs like RPGMaker are made so coding is not 100% required. If you do need to change any coding, there are simple guides online that you can use.

If you're not an artist, it comes with pre-installed graphics so you don't have to make your own. If you want to make the game look more like a Zelda game, you can go online and find Zelda graphic templates that other people made.

If he puts this much effort to changing a game, I'm sure he can put a little more in making his own.

@shinpichu

No, I wouldn't. I hate it when people lie to me, so why would want to do that to my children (that is, if I ever have any)?

@theblackdragon

Yes. Thank you. When I found out that Santa, the Easter Bunny, monsters, ect, were not real, the magic and enjoyment for those holidays drained significantly making me slowly stop caring about those holidays.

You know what would have been better then changing an already existing game? By making your own Zelda like game but make Link a girl instead. You can easily change the story/other characters/whatever to your liking to be more centric around girls or something like that.

Doing this will show how much he loves his daughter by making something she will love for years but yet not force lies onto her.

I love it when parents force lies onto their children. When the time comes in the future when she gets older, she will eventually find out what she was REALLY playing and come to a realization that the thing she loved as a child was a lie. A big fat lie.

Didn't you just LOVE it when your parents did stuff like this to you!?

EDIT:

Another thing I realized. When a big video company does something like this (changing the story/characters/other elements) to a game believing it's better for the children, everybody gets mad at them, but if a parent does something like this, it's considered "OK", "awesome", or even "cute".

Doesn't make any sense to me. >_>

Here is the TV commercial for this promotion I saw a few days ago on Nickelodeon.

@SkywardLink98
@hydeks

You two clearly don't get how technology works. The price of the system is NOT based on the games, but the HARDWARE.

The Wii U is capable having games that look better then most 360/PS3 games with minimal effort while being displayed on TWO screens SIMULTANEOUSLY. You call that "the same as the PS3"?

Sure, the PS3 has more games, but it's been out for about 7 years while the Wii U still hasn't even been released yet. Of course it has more games.

The logic in some people. >_>

I say getting the word out that the Wii U is a new console and not a Wii add-on is more important right now then showing games. Helps get rid most of the confusion about the Wii U early on. This did what they needed to do. Besides, they did show games in the commercial, they were just not the main focus.

Now, we need some commercials like this in other parts of the world.

Wow. Looks like their will be some tough platforming you have to do in the game. Which is a good thing by the way.

The printing industry lately has been taking a huge hit because of the internet. A lot of newspaper and magazine companies have slowly been going out of business since the early 2000’s. Most of the printing companies that are still around have been putting in a lot of ads into their newspapers/magazines just so they can stay alive.

Nintendo is just making a smart business decision by not continuing Nintendo Power. Anyone thinking otherwise are just fooling themselves.

I would like to see if they could use the Super FX 2 chip (the one Yoshi's Island and Star Fox 2 used) and make a game out of it. Really curious to see what they could do with it and what potential it had (unless those two games listed above haven't already).

Any genre will do, though an action/adventure game will be nice.

Hope this means they will finally officially localize Seiken Densetsu 3 into other countries besides Japan. Heard it's the best game in the Mana franchise.

I knew this was going to happen someday. Magazines are outdated sources to read and has been since we entered the 21st century. The Internet is a much better and quicker source to read the news of anything gaming related.

Most of you need to get over it. We've entered an era where magazines have become irrelevant. This was going to happen sooner or later and you knew it too.

@Miss_Birdo
How do you know that the shoulder buttons are digital and not analog? Did you actually try any of the controllers before making that judgment?

@Schroedus

But he is right handed in Skyward Sword...

I hope they are not limited editions because I would love to buy the Link and both Samus figures later on when I can get the money. They look awsome!

Oh, if any of you want to see what the Samus figures look like:

I never had had trouble with the controls. They worked great for me. The only times I had to re-calibrate the controller was whenever I start up the game. I also rarely had to re-center the cursor. You must be doing it wrong.

Well, finally! Took you guys long enough. The redesign looks great and it feels a little more professional and modern.

My only gripe is that you didn't even update the comment box/editor. It's a little too basic and I would like it if you can make it more advance so that it makes editing your post easier (like making lists, bolding letters, changing the text size, ect at a click of a button). Besides that, I don't see anything wrong.

It's rare for fan-made remixes, re-orchestrated, or 8/16-bitfyed music to sound even half as good as the original, and this is no exception. It sounds like it's more for a Metroid game then Legend of Zelda. While it sounds good, it still doesn't hold a candle to the original version.

If Nintendo actually advertises their downloadable services, then those numbers would double or even triple the amount.

The reason why XBL and PSN are doing so well is because Microsoft and Sony advertise them. Most people don't look up the web searching for video game news, so they learn about those services from places like TV commercials and other advertisements. Even if you put something right in their faces, they will ignore it and not try it out until someone tells them what it is.

We probably wouldn't be in such drought with the VC, WiiWare, and the EShop if Nintendo put in their time and advertise them.

Excuse me while I go throw up all my internal organs...

After I played Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii for the first time and got used to the controls, I decided that I will never play FPS's with a gamepad ever again.

Since as long as I can remember, I always had trouble with any game with a first person perspective on consoles (even games that don't focus on it entirely like in some of the Zelda games). It always felt slow, cumbersome, and imprecise. One of the only FPS games I ever liked in the past was Metroid Prime 1 & 2 on the Gamecube only because of the lock-on mechanics made the game so much easier to shoot targets and enemies.

With the Wii-Mote pointer controls, lock-on is still available in Metroid Prime 3, but I found myself almost never having to use it because how fast and precise the controls were. It completely changed my view of the console FPS genre.

Most people who say otherwise never tried any FPS games on the Wii for longer than a few minutes or more, are doing it wrong (like holding up your arms infront of you instead of setting them on your lap), hate change, or never even played one.

Wow, it looks amazing!

My only question is what store can we get this? Hopefully it's not only available at Gamestop, because if it is, then I will be pissed.

I've tried many board games since I was a little kid like Monopoly, Mouse Trap, Apples to Apples, Chess, Checkers, and many more. I've played them with family, friends, and many random groups of kids at different schools. They are just not for me.

...

Why can't you just, I don't know, play the actual video game?! I don't see the point in making a board game out of a video game when it will never give you the same experience. This just makes it cumbersome to play and take too long to finish. Also, board games are, well, boring, so why play them?

There is so many great games on the SNES that its next to impossible to choose just one... So I'll make a top 10 list:

10) Secret of Mana
9) Soul Blazer
8) Super Mario All-Stars
7) Super Mario RPG
6) Mother 2/Earthbound
5) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
4) Super Metroid
3) Illusion of Gaia
2) Terranigma
1) Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

People are honestly surprised?

Finding Gamecube games in stores are becoming rare. Gamestop for awhile now has been trying to discontinue selling them. For the past few years, it’s gotten to the point where you’re going to have to look at online stores like Ebay and Amazon to find the game you want.

Also, the only people who even want to play Gamecube games are people who are more into gaming than the average Joe. So why does Nintendo have to keep supporting something that most people won’t use? The same thing happened to the DSi with the GBA slot.

Besides, why should any of you care if you currently own a Wii? The Wii U is going to sell Gamecube games on the shopping channel (or whatever it’s going to be called), so you could just get them there.

You can now preorder the game? Pft! I already preordered the game from Gamestop, like 1-2 years ago even before Skyward Sword was the offical name.

@ThomasBW84

Well, what I was trying to say was that the way you worded it made it sound like you were implying that Prime Trilogy (the one with all three Prime games bundled into one) and Other M were both on the Gamecube and Wii, but whatever.

"Metroid Prime Trilogy and Metroid: Other M on GameCube and Wii"

Umm, has anyone even noticed this? Unless there was another version of the games that I never even heard of. D:

Wow, what an awesome video. Did not expect some of those people to be in the video. My only complaint is that some parts of the video were a little too quite. Other than that, great video.

Happy 25th anniversary Metroid!

See developers, games sell systems. If you actually release your games onto the 3DS, it might help it sell more and create a larger user base for more of your games to sell.

You now have no more excuses, go make and actually release your games already!

Nintendo has been sued so many times since they first became a video game company it's not even funny. People try to find the slightest of similarities between their own products and Nintendo's and use it to get a fast one on them.

They know that Nintendo is a big brand name company that brings in billions of dollars every year, so they probably thought it was easy money. They also don’t seem to care that such a beloved company like Nintendo might make them go out of business because of this lawsuit.

It’s all about the money… So screw everybody else!

When I first saw her in the E3 2011 trailer, I somehow knew that was Zelda. It must of been the looks or something.
