I must have that green box! Physical for me!

Yay I don't have to work in the morning! Hoping for some more Pikmin 3 news.

Now it is almost time for 3DS's big brother to start the climb on the stairway to glory. That's the hope anyway.

Am I the only one who's known about this game from watching Game Grumps?

It's the nice little things like this that make a company great. Way to go Nintendo!

I don't think I will ever fully understand that guy. He does have a good point this time though.

13 and already a father? I shudder to think how old the mother is...

And once again, NoA sucks.

Just as long as it isn't rushed, which I don't think it is the case, I'm happy.

@Void True, but in Nintendo's case that doesn't usually happen.

I bet they'll reveal whatever it is during one of the E3 Directs.

Like Miyamoto himself has said, "A rushed game is bad forever, but a delayed game is eventually good."

@Whirlpool When I first heard about this scene, I thought it was fake. Then when I unlocked the support myself I about died laughing.

Snore...

I'm tempted to try this in Brawl.

I can't help but wonder if Nintendo, knowingly or not, is starting a new trend for conveying gaming news as a whole. Who knows, maybe in a few years the Big Three may drop the big stage show tradition all together and just do (company name here) Directs.

Only a matter of time before we heard something like this.

The way I see it, things are stagnant now, but will (hopefully) pick up once the games that everyone knows and loves start coming out; because I believe Nintendo hasn't really started advertising properly beyond the generic features (though granted they should have been doing a better job in that regard from the get-go) because there really isn't any attention grabbing games per se to advertize yet. Especially when you put into account the fact that several games that were supposed to be launch and/launch window titles have since been pushed back considerably or are just all around not ready yet.

I've played on Classic Normal three times, and always reset if someone gets killed. They just made the people too loveable for me to allow actual death. I do plan to (finally) stop being a wuss and attempt Hard though.

Okay...?

The good news, we know it's coming out August 4th.
The bad news, it isn't coming out till August 4th...

A bittersweet moment I suppose...

I'm sure we'll see the release date tomorrow morning.

I'm not expecting anything new. Release dates, more info on already revealed games, and Miiverse perhaps, but at this time I'm sure there won't be any surprises again till E3.

AWESOME!
But, how is it possible that they make the freaking piano from 64 even MORE scary?

Certainly seems like this should have just been a big DLC pack for the first game instead of a stand alone title. A shame really.

Huh, apparently Toad would look pretty darn epic if he had a beard...

Funny how Nintendo (albeit politely) tells how Bowser should hold a tea cup now, but a few decades back they didn't make a big deal over the fact that Bowser was a freaking human in the deplorable (to put it nicely) Mario movie. Unless they did and I never knew, since that was all before my time mind you. In any case I guess things were different back then.

@grimbldoo What happened in the deleted scenes?

A surprise eh? Perhaps a King K. Rool cameo, or better yet, hidden boss battle?

I have to say I'm surprised Pikmin 3 got that many votes.

The Wii U does better with more games? Huh, go figure.

Like I've been saying for quite some time, once the hard-hitting titles start steadily coming in, sales will go up, and up.

I'm excited, but at the same time not expecting any big surprises. E3 is almost just around the corner after all.

No KI:U mention? Fail.

PIKMIN 3!!!

Seriously Nintendo, can you give us a solid release date, please?

Pikmin 2 has numerous Easter Eggs. As treasures, there is a Game & Watch handheld system, gyro blocks from Gyromite, R.O.B.'s head, plus many real world items like Duracell batteries and a Vlasic pickle jar lid for a couple examples.

Pretty sure this pertains to all major franchises, be it Mario or Call of Duty. We keep demanding them, either by words or money, and the squeals will keep churning out.

Oh look, yet another awesome item that will never go outside Japan. I've gotten used to it by this point. I may not have an XL (as of yet), but my regular 3DS has a Power Pak+ on it, so I can't use the cradle anyway since it won't fit.

Apparently people don't understand this thing called patience anymore...

Seriously, the good games are on the way, relax for crying out loud!

I will be very, very surprised if either Sony or Microsoft's upcoming consoles end up being priced below/at $400-$350 respectively. With all the specs they're talking about, the price is going to be the same as last time at best. Not to mention the rumored possibility of being unable to play used games on them, which certainly wouldn't help matters.

@toeveryonewhogussed Pikmin2 You're right! Now we all can enjoy...cookie galaxy? Sounds like an unused planet in the Super Mario Galaxy games.

At least we know there will be at least one R.O.B. left in the distant future, after mankind mysteriously disappears, to be found by tiny humanoid aliens leading a group of mobile plant creatures.

Overcome by a heavy sense of nostalgia, the aliens will name their find, "Remembered Old Buddy."

Whoever gets the reference receives a virtual cookie.

I want that cake!

Apparently articles on video game voice actors have become a running theme on NL? Not that its a problem, just a notion.

@SkywardLink98 Considering how much awesome stuff they get that nobody else does, no, it ain't wrong at all. >:3

I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been made available in NA. One would think Nintendo would send it here before Europe.

Pretty impressive, but I wouldn't throw over $200 dollars just to have one.

I'm not too suprised considering the amount of advertising the game got, plus that it lent a helping hand to newcomers while still appealing to veterans of the series. But all the same, nice to see FE get more publicity.

There is this thing called patience, I hear it helps with waiting...

Is this the same game that involves a fat Princess Peach-looking person? Really don't know anything about it.

It seems like Brawl was made just before Nintendo starting getting a good feel for simultaneous online play, since Mario Kart Wii, which came out not too long after Brawl, had perfectly fine internet connection. That's my opinion anyway.
