Finally! It's unbelievable that it took so long but at least they patched it. I'm actually excited to get back to playing it online again.

I just discovered Abobo's Big Adventure last night and it left me wondering what was coming next. So probably that.

Whenever COD is even mentioned you can tell the comments are going to be particularly asinine. The shrillness here doesn't surprise me.

NSMB Wii felt like a rehash of the original on the DS and judging from the screenshots it looks like the deja vu is going to be even stronger with NSMB2. Yawn.

I'm probably going to finish up Mass Effect 3 this weekend. I usually do multiplayer games with my friends over the weekend but with 4/20 falling on a Friday this year most of my friends are going to be in a stupor until Monday morning.

Ugh. That tracklist blows.

To those saying requiring 6,000 sales before seeing any return isn't much of an issue: Keep in mind that numerous developers have stated that they're lucky to break 20,000 units sold on Wiiware. That makes it a pretty damn big issue.

Mass Effect 3 losing the top spot to FIFA? Boo.

The well is pretty dry for both NSMB and Galaxy so I'm hoping for something different.

If they absolutely have to rehash something, how about Mario Paint? I bet the tablet would open up some interesting ideas.

Yes! Mass Effect 3 is at the top where it belongs.

Yes.

I agree.

$300 Isn't bad for a console, but I'm a bit concerned about the cost of buying a second tablet. If the materials cost $50 I wouldn't be surprised to see them selling for $100.

Now I wish i could go just so I could run through the hall screaming "biscuit" at the top of my lungs hoping to find him.

I'm just going to point out for those whom try to post otherwise that power, as broad of a term as that is, affects more things than just the graphics. Having an underpowered system means more than just the visuals will be impacted.

Trying to control an MMO with a tablet? No thanks. And then there's the problems Hardy83 mentions which tells me that MMOs are probably good where they are.

He's 10 feet tall dragon and weighs 717 pounds? Poor little anorexic midget dragon.

Eh, I'm jaded to developers hyping it. I'm going to need to see something substantial to get excited.

I always wondered why I've seen different release dates over the years for SMB. Interesting read.

@Assassin87
Don't worry, I know where you're coming from. I was just having a bit of fun with my second comment.

@Assassin87
Sure, turning it off would help but this is the internet. Complaining is the #1 activity (behind porn, of course).

@Assassin87
Leading up to the release of the 3DS Nintendo hyped the 3D aspect above all else. Those who bought it a couldn't experience the feature without problems had every right to complain.

Holy sh*t, he said Call of Duty! Let's now all make wild assumptions instead of actually reading the quote and figuring out what he was trying to say.

Yay?

Too bad. It'd be nice to see the Fire Emblem games try something different rather than rehash the same thing over and over. I like the games but they're starting to get a bit stale.

@JarvanZheitk
Yeah, that's not true at all. Day one DLC or DLC already included on the disc always takes flak.

I agree 100% with Skyward Sword not picking up the game of the year award but on the other hand I'm baffled to see SM3DL lose to Peggle, of all things.

Oh well. Who takes these things seriously, anyway?

@bahooney
"Maybe it has something to do with keeping them up there costs more money than they're getting back?"

Doubtful. I imagine the Sonic games are in the top 25% of VC sales.

Not a fan.

@Hejiru
Licensing expiring would be the most likely cause.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable "All Western developers make are FPS titles blah blah blah...." comments.

Oops, too late.

Who cares what he thinks? I just dread the sh*tstorm likely to follow in the comments.

I'm not surprised that it's hitting the Wii U. Ubisoft is one of few third party developers that has had a lot of success with their games on the Wii.

You know, my last boss used to hold our weekly meetings at Hooters until they closed down and he had to change the venue to a strip club. That's when he went from being a good boss to being an awesome one.

It makes you realize how lucky Nintendo is that the Wii took off like it did. They were hemorrhaging market share in the console market through the N64/Gamecube years and then the Wii came and sold a bazillion systems.

So....slow news day, huh?

@Blaze
Really? Ask yourself how many people that would put out of work (in a weak economy, no less) and see if you still feel the same way.

Not being able to get credit=not being able to stock some of the top titles.
Not stocking top titles=underperforming stores.
Underperforming stores=an inability to secure more credit.

GAME may be entering a death spiral.

It's a shame. It's actually a good game.

Or you could, you know, do actual exercise instead of hoping video games will keep you fitter. Not even Wii Fit is a sufficient replacement for a real exercise regimen (although it's certainly better than nothing).

Nintendo Life may want to update this story to reflect that.

@TrueWiiMaster
There were quite a few more including:
Stacking
Pacman CE
Pacman CE DX
Joe Danger
Costume Quest
Pinball FX
Etc., etc, etc. The size limit no doubt played kept dozens of good or even great titles from seeing a Wii release.

Not a fan of the art. I keep wanting to tilt my head to correct the perspective.

@Haxonberik
The only 360 that sells for $400 comes with the Kinect packed in as well as two games. I don't see how that's greedy.

Damn. I don't really mind the circle pad on the 3DS but analog sticks feel more responsive.

Good to see Nintendo is learning from their mistakes.

I like how some are implying that those who go after achievements are essentially basement dwellers or losers. I'm guessing those posters are powered by a powerful sense of self loathing.

Hulu Plus offers a fantastic selection of shows but the ads always annoyed me too much to become a plus member (and more importantly I already have cable and Netflix).

@Irken
Of course they need your credit card for the trial.....so they can charge you if you forget to cancel in time.

It's going to be a travesty if Arkham City doesn't take game of the year.
