First off, I love NL and have been visiting for several years. You guys are awesome!
It's really a shame the negative turn I'm reading in recent articles. Maybe, if you guys can put down your PS4/Xbone envy and stop bellyacheing, you would see that Nintendo has a pretty sweet lineup on the horizon. No, it's not what everyone expected and yes, Nintendo seems to be playing it safe. This doesn't mean these games aren't going to be a blast to play. I was disappointed for about five minutes, until I realized that I really want to play all of these games.
@The_Joker Couldn't agree more! What a bunch of jaded bs. Not strange enough? Whatever. After watching the trailer in HD, I'm really exited. Four players that control differently, new power ups, and what's sure to be a blast in single and multiplayer. It would be nice to hear some impressions from someone a little more enthusiastic.
Looks like we have another gamecube on our hands, which really, shouldn't suprise anyone. PS4 and Xbone cater to a different audience then Wii U. I don't know about you guys, but I bought a Wii U for Nintendo games and the occasional third-party exclusive.
That said, Nintendo screwed up the launch, big time. Honestly, as much as I like Iwata, someone a little more aggressive would do a lot better running Nintendo, imo.
It seems I'm the only one who's curious as to how this controls without a second analog stick. I loved the first one, so this will most likely be a day one purchase for me.
I wish they would make another Jett Rocket. I had a lot of fun with that game. It would be nice to see on 3DS. Nano Assault and Fast definitely look interesting, but I want more platformers.
I thoroughly enjoyed TP. My only complaint is how easy it was. Even when you die, (which happens rarely) you re-spawn very close to where you were. This ended up taking away from some of the epic sense of the game, imo.
It's nice to see Nintendo grow as a company. One of the great things about Nintendo is they do their own thing and don't follow trends. I've always thought though, that they needed to balance this with a little less rigid approach to their fan base. It seems they're finally starting to understand this.
As for the hint videos/super guide, that's great, because it confirms the difficulty will be left intact. Super guide haters don't understand that this has allowed nintendo to bring us more challenging games instead of just dumbing down the difficulty.
never played this series, but it looks pretty awsome. wasn't this released on the psn not long ago? wouldn't mind hearing from someone who's played this already.
A major improvement would be including a classic controller out of the box. Although I love the wii remote, it's necessary to give 3rd party developers and even nintendo the option to develop traditional games without worrying if their user base has the required controller.

A few years...that sucks. I was hoping this would be a Wii U launch title.

It's doubtful that the gyro is going to be the only way to adjust the camera. It will probably be optional, just like in OoT.
