I hope it has clickable analogue sticks.

Donkey Kong Land Returns.

Someday I'll be telling my grandchildren stories of a time when Nintendo used to be an innovative company that put effort into their games.

Retro Studios is the only part of Nintendo I have faith in right now.

I disagree with the people saying LittleBigPlanet 2 shouldn't have beat Mario Kart 7 "because it was the same as the first," because it built upon the original much more than any Mario Kart ever has. I like Mario Kart 7 a lot but it hasn't really changed at all since Mario Kart 64.

I love Nintendo and all, but some Nintendo fans can be really biased sometimes...

Maybe they're getting ready for The Taxman's remakes of these games. ;D

@my_point_is

Maybe you can try playing games that aren't part of big name franchises. The Turbografx has plenty of gems that are much better than that Street Fighter port if you'd give 'em a chance.

I hope it's a new game and not just information on Keldeo.

I disagree that Pokémon should say their own names in the video games. I like them having individual calls, it makes them more animal-like and I am disappointed that the anime changed this.

Pokémon Stadium had high-quality versions of these calls and I think that was perfect.

Sonic Generations would have been hindered by being on Wii... I love Wii for exclusives but I'd rather have my games on superior hardware.

The new Black and White seasons actually have less focus on Team Rocket and when they do it's actually much more interesting than before.

@Aqueous

I believe you are getting Hudson mixed up with HAL. HAL still exists.

Someone better make this an indie game.

You gotta love how there's a lot of SEGA hate here despite last year's Sonic Colors being easily the best Sonic game since the Genesis/Mega Drive, and this year's Sonic Generations 360/PS3 being amazing.

@StarDust

Secret Rings was a crappy spinoff, play Sonic Colors - best Sonic game since Sonic Advance. It's mostly 2D gameplay, but the Wisps are really fun.

The Wii version of Unleashed actually didn't have any stages that the HD version had. They were in similar settings, but they played like flat racetracks for the most part whereas the 360/PS3 version had more variety in level design.

Here's a comparison of one of my favourite stages: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxL21NQMczg

@Kage_88

Yes, the Wii version was horrible! Most people who actually played both Sonic Unleashed games will tell you Sonic Unleashed for 360 and PS3 is actually an alright game.

The stage from Sonic 06 in the HD version was ironically one of the best stages in the game. Sonic 06 had cool levels and music, they just needed to be in a game that actually worked.

I'll just warn you all in advance that unless you like Sonic 4 mixed with Sonic Rush, you're not going to like this game.

@tendoboy1984
When they say this game has fourteen levels, they mean acts, not zones. That's significantly less than the HD version's eighteen acts.

360/PS3/PC:
Green Hill
Chemical Plant
Sky Sanctuary
Speed Highway
City Escape
Seaside Hill
Crisis City
Rooftop Run
Planet Wisp

3DS:
Green Hill
Casino Night
Mushroom Hill
Emerald Coast
Radical Highway
Water Palace
Tropical Resort

How is New Super Mario Bros. Wii above Donkey Kong Country Returns?

@StarDust

There is no graphical difference between versions of Twilight Princess, and the GameCube version was developed first so the Wii version is the one with the mirrored images.

The Wii version has widescreen, but it actually just zooms the image in, so you're not getting anything extra on the sides if you play it on Wii. You actually have the bottom and top cut off, in fact.

I feel like I'm three years in the past saying this, but a 9 from Corbie was to be expected.

Nobody is talking about the fact that they have online multiplayer in a Mega Drive game on Wii?!? That's amazing, guys!

Count me in as a guest if you ever do a Mega Man discussion? :3

I really need to play more Rondo...

I'm looking forward to this more than I was Legends 3. And I say that as a huge Mega Man fan.

I've been playing this quite a bit on my Super Game Boy lately.

Radical Highway has never actually been confirmed. TSSZ News claims to have a reliable source saying so, though. I think it makes sense considering the Shadow race will probably take place there.

"Are you excited about this popular franchise making its 3D debut?"

The Mario Tennis franchise made its 3D debut in 1995. ;D

I hope this includes a better D-pad. Jacob Crites had it right when he said it was too clicky and stiff. Pokémon games are unplayable on my friend's 3DS due to this, so I can't imagine how badly platformers have it.

I'd only watch if it was a subtitled Japanese version. 4Kids butchered the English version pretty badly... Did you guys know the original version used orchestrated versions of Kirby video game songs like Green Greens as background music?

I love Zordix. They have an amazing sense of humour. I'll definitely look into these games when I get a 3DS. They deserve it.

Super Mario Sunshine did it right. The worlds all had their own stories and it felt really immersive, but then they also had those bonus levels that played like this new game does.

I'd still love to see a completely open-world Mario game.

I hope Ocarina of Time 3D doesn't overshadow this one at all...

TimeSplitters 4?

@Birdman13

I'm a huuuge Mega Man fan, but I'd advise you don't start with this entry. The controls and physics are rather buggy and it'd be a horrible first impression.

Enhanced versions of the first three NES games are available on PSP if anyone without brand loyalty to Nintendo wants portable NES Mega Man. They're Japanese PSOne import titles but they're pretty easy to figure out.

Mario would be nowhere near as endearing if he wasn't chubby.

I'd love to own this.

@Kid_A:

I agree. It was a fantastic game for what it was. The only "bad" Rare game of recent times is Perfect Dark Zero and even that may be going a bit too far...

I don't see what Star Fox would gain from Retro Studios. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

They seem to be best with games previously known for atmospheric qualities such as Metroid and Donkey Kong Country. I'd love a Retro Studios Castlevania, but since it's a Konami franchise, I don't see that happening very soon.

EDIT: Actually, a Star Fox Adventures-style game would be right up their ally. Star Fox Adventures shared some of the same developers as Donkey Kong Country and both games had similar atmospheres. The only issue is that most fans want a traditional Star Fox.

I don't understand how the audio can be worse on PS1... I've played both versions and the audio seemed the same.

I'm a bit of a purist, so little things like "Biggs" being mistranslated as "Vicks" can really get to me more than load times ever will. ><

What is exactly wrong with the PS1 version anyway?

While Chrono Trigger will always be my favourite Square RPG of the SNES era, this game must not be overlooked by anyone.

Where the hell is Johnny Bravo?

I'm very interested. Any word on a demo?

I guess no US release also means no Canadian release? I'm considering this game for the sake of irony alone.

That's simply amazing. Congratulations!

@Advancedcaveman

Nuts & Bolts is not a mini-game collection. It is a vehicle-based platformer.

@HeroOfTime007: Well, Nintendo was actually offered the shares from Rare's owners and Nintendo declined the offer.

And I actually loved Rare's Star Fox Adventures.
