When are we getting Columns? I've waited so long. Good to see they're continuing Virtual Console support, though. I've heard some decent things about Tail's Adventures.
@DrKarl Creators are very rarely satisfied with their products after they ship them. It's just that now, they're capable of going back and fixing problems. I don't think developers have gotten lazier-if anything, this shift has made it more difficult for them to leave projects be and not continually go back to adjust them.
I'm still excited, but disappointed that he just wants to "go deeper". It's been 9 years since the last Pikmin game, and I don't think people will be satisfied with more of the same.
This could be great, it could be awful, but either way I won't be able to play it. They didn't have online multiplayer in NSMB2, NSMBU, or Nintendo Land, and they there won't be any for Pikmin 3. Why?
@SanderEvers What's the problem with that? Are you saying you would rather the Wii U version is worse, or adds a gimmick to take advantage of the Wii U's extra capabilities? Because both of those sound awful to me.
@ziLToiD That's the best argument I've heard for an achievement system being built in instead of developers making their own achievement systems for individual games.
60 dollars isn't a fair amount of money for a game on any console, but developing games is expensive and that's the standard right now, so I don't see why it should be different on the Wii U. Why do the people writing these articles have no problem with the PS3, 360, and most likely their respective successors doing this?
So wait, a long-running, well-written video game magazine is closing, and their final issue teases new Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash Brothers, F-Zero AND Star Fox information, and everyone's too busy discussing the cover art to care?

Nintendo, it's like you're trying to fail. Why not just give the option to turn it off, or limit chat to friends? Anyway, I''m looking forward to playing a zombie game during lunch break and asking for help, then waiting half an hour for the message to show up, then waiting for someone to answer it, and waiting for their answer to show up, which will take another half hour, by which point my lunch break is over.
