I hate when someone harshly criticizing Nintendo is immediately looked at as an enemy. Clearly this person cares about the company, but some people will read that it is negative in tone and attack the author. It's a smart move that they chose to remain anonymous — I'm sure there would be many calling for a boycott of their software otherwise. In my opinion, he's almost completely right. Sure, Zelda has been exciting since Ocarina... but what an event Ocarina was, what a game-changer! That's what I feel like he means by specific things like that. I do feel like if things continue in the fashion they're going, Nintendo will have to sit out at least the next generation of home consoles. And I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, given that they continue to make games and handhelds. But the idea of this "former glory" is an uplifting thought, because it reminds me of a time when games were magical, and Nintendo's in particular. If things returned to that kind of energy to proceedings, there's no amount of money I could make that would be too much to use in buying Nintendo products. So I definitely agree with him in large part. Too many times we let Nintendo off the hook for shoddy web support, shoddy online shopping experiences, shoddy graphics. So now, a console generation later, I'm more of the mind that an agressive but loving stance is the one to take with Nintendo. As for the part about him or her being some anonymous nobody... well, obviously he or she isn't a nobody or they wouldn't prefer to remain anonymous, I think.

I hope they call it Beyond Beyond Good & Evil

This is great news for us PS3 owners! Good work Ubisoft.

I dont know, maybe Nintendo should just make software and peripherals from now on

Super happy I can finally play this. I have a 3DS but it hasn't worked in ages, the repair would cost too much, so this is great news.

Kinda cool that the first mature game in Australia is on a Nintendo console.

@BulbasaurusRex Yeah, they seemed extremely disappointed with sales of MDK2 so I highly doubt they're going to continue with Descent.

I got the PSN version and have to say that I was very disappointed, particularly with the humor. None of the jokes are subtler than direct, almost shoehorned-in-feeling references to retro games. And the game includes far too many cutscenes, or the retro equivalent thereof, imo. I'm not saying it's not a good game, but I was super excited when I got it, so this is a cautionary note to really make sure the game is for you before you get it.

I can't believe I wasted six years not buying this game!

I don't know which I like more, appendages or genitalia! What a game!

Too bad for people with night jobs...

I liked DotMan!

@Taceus I went to Metacritic after reading your comment to see if any other publications were being less subjective about this title, and I saw this blurb from IGN: "But it's not really a video game, so feel free to forget this freaky fireplace." Good example of what you're talking about, I think!

It's real easy, most entertainment centers have room for both a Wii U and a competing next-gen console, so you can just have both!

Loved Gyromite!

Wow, I'd really like this if it's made cleverly

What a fun time in gaming it was to see Twelve Tails progress from a game about collecting scattered homecoming presents to what it ended up as. One of my favorites.

I can't find them anymore in the NA shop!

Back to basics plz!

I've never been so excited about a Mario since Mario World!

I have that in writing!

Awesome job everyone!!!

Looking forward to making my games with you guy! Please inbox me.

During my time at Nintendo Life, I got to know how great you were both as a writer and as a dude. I can't say it enough - this is so well-deserved. Congratulations again James.

Ooh la la!

This is incredibly well-deserved. Congratulations, James.

I am in the movie.

This news is "GRAPE"

@workerbot When MumboJumbo ported Build-A-Lot to DSiWare from DS, they left out maybe one or two areas but the majority of the game is intact. If anything is missing from the retail version it's probably not too noticeable.

@DemonnPrincess Never called either game garbage.

God this takes me back. If I had the $ I'd get it for sure.

I can't wait to play this.

@Nick-Clegg I'll say. There's a lot of alcohol, some cursing, and a Prohibition-era burlesque dancer, so that's probably why.

@XCWarrior "Darn, was hoping this might get a better review than the one on Nintendo Life."

Head explodes.

I love it, I buy it

Hello Nurse!

I know it looks like Nintendo's running out of ideas, but I remember pining for a new Super Mario Bros type game. Many of you are growing up with NSMB and its variants, but 16 years went by between World and NSMB, and then three more before NSMB Wii for those of us who didn't own a DS. To me it doesn't look like overkill yet, and I'm happy to have more experiences to play the type of game that I longed for from 1990-2009.

I can't waiiiiiit

I love Dinosaur Office.

Snarf...

For a minute I thought this was about the sports-themed barber shop Sports Clips

I was very excited, but now I think I'll wait for it to come to Redbox.

It sounds awesome, but I get worried when I think about how many disappointing licensed DS sidescrollers there are. We'll see!

Well, I've had fun with you, Resident Evil. I guess I'll have to get more invested in the Silent Hill and Dead Space series, etc. Pretty annoying move if you ask me.

I think the biggest problem with Mega Man Legends 3 was the non-transparency of it. It looked revolutionary and interactive, but mixed messages — like hearing through a press release that a beta would come to the eShop upon its opening, then hearing through a Q&A (I think) that the game wasn't even green-lit by Capcom — speak volumes, and show that they were not 100% forthcoming on their side. I think if we'd known more about the struggles the team was clearly going through, in the best case scenario the fans would have come through and gathered grassroots support like they're doing now, and in the worst case scenario, we would have seen the cancellation coming instead of it feeling like a slap in the face.

A: The Beatles, who were quite fond of the number 9.

Q: This game is the favorite Mario Party title of WHICH popular 60's band?

Nice Home Improvement reference! (grunts like Tim Allen)
