It will be revealed, and then completely forgotten about until launch day by Konami themselves because Konami doesn't know how to market anything. Case in point; Silent Hill: Book Of Memories. Never heard of it? That's because Konami has literally done nothing to promote the game.

You know, now that I think about it, the gameplay of Lost Planet would be suited for handheld devices extremely well. I'm eager to see how this game turns out.

It's a disappointment that this game came out the way it is. Maybe the lagging issues will be fixed in a future update, as I'm still curios to see how the game fairs to my personal tastes and standards.

...So can we just confirm that Runner 2 is the first Wii U eShop game? There's about as much subtlety as there is the presence of elephants.

When one of the most prominent game stores of the region implodes in on itself, it's expected to see a fall in sales of every game in that region.

The caption to that picture so badly makes me want a game where you play as Iwata (mustache included) and punch mini-Marios. Maybe it could don the name of Super Mario 128?

Considering that Animal Crossing would most likely be Nintendo's easiest game to monetize with extra payment options, I'm happy that Nintendo still holds a firm belief on letting players access all of the (finished) content that's on the disc/cartridge.

I have no doubt that official Nintendo games would sell well on a smartphone, but to stay in the competition Nintendo can't let all of its big IPs onto other gaming platforms. Nintendo would be dooming its own consoles if they let that happen.

It would be nice to know what the range of these prizes are, as I would be willing to shell out 300 coins for a chance at the replica Game & Watch console.

EDIT: After a bit of looking, it doesn't seem like the prize is accessible from the Rewards Catalog, which concerns me that it might just be a test page. I'll wait for something more solid before I start dumping my coins in anyone's bucket.

Any idea who's developing this compilation? If Sakurai has any hand in this, I'm sure we'll avoid a "Super Mario All-Stars"-like conundrum.

I'm not entirely understanding all of the negativity for NSMB2. Sure, it's another game in the NSMB series, but the series has never been outright bad and it's not like any of you are being forced to play the game. And besides, the one screenshot in the gallery is not the entire game; it doesn't mean that everything in the game will follow the impressions that you get from that screenshot.

EDIT: Thinking about it all, this situation seems to be headed in a "Dynasty Warriors"-esque setting, so all I have to say is this; for those that like the games, continue to like them. For those that don't like the games, it doesn't seem like a terribly hard time to completely ignore the franchise.

EDIT #2: Also, the www.supermario4.com domain still redirects to the Nintendo country selector, so there's a chance that Nintendo didn't just buy the domain for the sake of mis-association with NSMB2.

It's nice to see that 3DS games have the ability to get patched. At least it should make glitches that completely break games disappear.

Considering that almost all of his games have sold below expectations, I'm not surprised that his publishers aren't letting him play with new toys just yet so that he doesn't end up sinking thousands of dollars into a game for a console that could fall either way in terms of popularity and sales.

Considering that Capcom already has a dev team of over 600 people, I'm happy that they've decided to not go down the route of hiring on more people. There's already a good chance that the team is too big that the game will likely be a huge flop, no matter how coordinated they are and how much work is put into the title.

It's not so much as N-Space wanting to do a new sequel as an N-Space producer saying he wants to revisit the series.

I know this is somewhat off-topic, but I still want a game where the player has to dance and sing to death-metal. I just HAVE to see the videos.

I'm not going to lie; Kid Icarus Uprising has been blowing my mind for the past two days I've had it and is easily becoming my favorite 3DS game. I haven't even gotten to the multiplayer yet, which I have no doubt is going to be great.

Super Epic Frogger 2: Turbo Hyper Online Edition SD Remix

I can understand all the other categories, but Peggle HD, a game that is just a prettier version of a game that came out 5 years ago, is more worthy of an award of a yearly awards ceremony than original games that actually came out last year? I would be fine with anything winning the Best Mobile/Handheld award if it wasn't Peggle.

A 4-month delay? That seems oddly long. I can't believe that they would be working on adding anything since some stores must have gotten copies by now, and resending brand new copies would be expensive.

The wording of the press release has made me curios; is Nintendo/Havok handing out licenses, or is this the usual you-still-need-to-pay-for-the-thing situation? Because if they were handing out licenses, I would really be impressed.

I highly doubt any "Big" announcements will be made on Nintendo Direct. I could see this as a good time to announce that the Wii U will named something else considering that E3 is about four months away.

It kinda looks like Dr. Wily is also in the picture, hanging off to the left side of Bowser. Either way, this movie will be an interesting development.

That's bizarre, especially considering that the Vita looks much more promising than the 3DS did at launch. I guess the 3DS price drop changed a lot of people's minds?

I like the idea of running into a zombie apocalypse with an LED-firing Gatling gun. Someone needs to make that Flash game ASAP!

Either this is one of the worst mistakes of someone's career or this is the most brilliant piece of viral advertising ever. I'm willing to say it's both.

I'm happy to hear that Nintendo has been improving those rumored-to-be-broken devkits.

If the racing studio is Criterion, I might cry tears of massive fanboy-ism.

Personally this doesn't affect me much. I rarely play games for the couch multiplayer and, to me, portability outweighs a cooperative multiplayer mode by leaps and bounds.

How in the world do you get "TIGA" out of "Independent Game Developers’ Association"?

@erv

I'm sorry, but the only thing I could think of when you said that was this.

OT: I'm still expecting the important information to hit at E3. I won't be expecting much beyond some tech rumors and company involvements.

I'm happy that someone else besides me realizes that once you go mouse/stylus, you can't go back. However, it is disappointing that more control options were considered for those that just can't get mouse/stylus controls. Either way, I'm still getting this game.

I'm kind-of intrigued by all of this. On one hand, MYST in 3D would look really pretty, and if the movement system was more similar to that of Real MYST I would totally buy this game. But on the other, MYST is an extremely confusing game that doesn't deserve anything above the $15 mark. This might be a good pick-it-up-used game.

YES. THIS THING DESERVES TO EXIST.

The Shift flash games are some of my favorite bite-sized pieces of gaming of all time. I'm so happy that the games are finally getting a full-length treatment.

I guess video game petitions are good for something. Let's hope this sells well so that we get The Last Story.

The last time Nintendo wasn't able to fit all of their ideas into a game was after Super Mario Galaxy. Take that as you will, but I absolutely loved Galaxy 2 over the original. Call me pleased as punch.

Looks like Nintendo's price butchering has paid off.

Personally, this really doesn't affect me since I always play the single player campaign of any game before hopping into any of the online modes. But locking away people that do want to dive into the multiplayer from the start is just going to make people angry.

@WaltzElf It's all in a matter of taste. PETA makes it's "Jokes" appear hate-filled and make them look like that's what they truly believe. Essentially, if they are staying true to their word, PETA is too good at making jokes. Also, stop actively trying to spark controversy. I'm not going to say you're a troll because I don't know your true beliefs, but you always word your posts as if you want to start something.

I'll admit; if Nintendo's goal was to get my attention, they succeeded. While I'm not quite sure this is a good idea given Penny Arcade's lack of any narrative structure, I'm still really interested to see what they put out.

I'm still iffy on getting this one. On one hand, I love Cave Story and I'm always willing to play it again. On the other, there seems to be absolutely no significant additional content added to this iteration and I'll be paying $40 for what amounts to a game that I can already play on-the-go.

You fools! Star Fox 64 is the ONLY game worthy of the title of "The Best N64 Game"! Zelda ain't got NUTHIN' on Star Fox!

@Radixxs Hell, I would just be happy with a Star Fox 64 sequel. SF64 is one of the best games of all time and anything that resembles a sequel of that game would instantly warrant a purchase from me.

In all honesty, the multiplayer of Star Fox 64 is pretty weak. It's fun for a few matches, but gets pretty boring afterwords. The appeal of free-range combat in the campaign is that either (A): you're fighting something larger than you, or (B): the battleground becomes a absolute chaos, with 8+ ships all shooting at each-other. In the multiplayer both of those never happen, meaning that the mode comes off as dull.

Unless the frame-rate turns into that of a man who is trying to play Crysis on his netbook, I'm still buying this. Portable BIT.TRIP ftw.

I hate it when people say that Minecraft is released even though it's still in beta.

I hope you know what you're doing Nintendo. This could either turn out to be very good or a complete disaster. Please, make the smart moves Nintendo. Please.

The only reason that I'm getting SAGA is because I know that I would absolutely hate tilt controls for BEAT and FLUX. So yeah, I'm getting BIT.TRIP SAGA for those not able to decipher my crafty language.

Mind reminding me how porting the same OS from a smaller device onto a bigger one is "Innovative" again?
