I don't consider Yoshi's Story a sequel to Yoshi's Island. Both games had Yoshi in it... and then the similarities kind of die out. I consider them both separate games that stand on their own really well. Personally, I like Yoshi's Story better. One of my favorite games. I wish they had made a sequel to that rather than Yoshi's Island, but that's neither here nor there.
I don't entirely agree but Yoshi's Story general gameplay I remember being better. I just wish it had more levels and didn't try too hard to appeal to kids (and I say that as a Kirby fan, so that's saying something...and it didn't make sense if you remember the later castle levels...). I think if we made a Yoshi's island, with Yoshi's Story's gameplay, Wooly World's art style, as made by the Mario Galaxy guys, we would have the perfect platformer.
This is the last generation for handheld gaming consoles as we currently know them. Nintendo may continue to produce a side niche device, but there won't be heavy support for it. I think next generation we will likely see Nintendo try to work with the smart device industry to make something that is more competitive to a large audience though.
I disagree. I'm expecting Nintendo to at most, make a gaming handheld that has a lot of iPad friendly things to advertise with. Or a Nintendo DS Smart Phone or whatever. Maybe even something closer to the App store instead of the eShop(god forbid).
If Nintendo (and really the gaming industry) went to a more app store-like free to play microtransactions early access full Kickstarter thing, I would quit buying games entirely and just play stuff from previous generations. Never forget.
The Crew, despite having a dumb story and some obvious flaws, is actually a very enjoyable arcade racer, especially if you like the notion of exploring a minturaized sandbox United States.
And another Pokémon thing, by the way: I think Iris has one of the best champion battle themes
That's not unpopular. I hear that said all the time. And personally, I hate it. It's all cheerful and exciting. It's something I'd expect from an ending credits song. Putting it in the champion battle is like playing "Raindrops keep falling on my head" in a horror movie.

I dunno if I posted these before, but what the heck:
1. I don't care if a system is region-locked
2. I only buy a game if it appeals to me. I don't care about the developer or publisher unless they appeal to me and/or have a good track record
3. Nintendo's marketing did well this year with plenty of commercials. I do however wish they would market old games too
4. Nintendo is just as good if not better as they were back in the NES/SNES days
5. Old games are not always better. Nostalgia is overrated

I hear that a lot more. It gets me pumped up in the same way as Rainbow Road. It's like, it's the end, and you finally get a chance to try and beat the champion. And even if you fail, you made it that far. But it is jarring next to the serious Victory Road/League/E4 music. At least it's better than Alder's theme, which feels more like some kind of Gym Leader or Frontier Brain music...

That is the norm. Same mentality as children not wanting to try new foods.
“30fps Is Not a Good Artistic Decision, It's a Failure”
Freedom of the press is for those who happen to own one.
There were really no DS games that appealed to me, so I skipped the entire DS gen. Now I'm being very picky with what 3DS games I get. I only have 3 as of now, not counting the digital VC/eShop games.
I guess the GBA games I played were just too amazing to compare to.

I guess that makes sense. I'm still not big on it IMO, nothing can beat Lance/Red from GSC. The slow build up to such an intense theme is just perfect. It's probably my favorite boss theme ever.

Well, duh... Even Ninja Blade and NG3 combined are better than DMC2. I'll take anything over that borefest. I'll rather rip my hair out with the first God of War.
With NES I could agree on some games (like Castlevania 3 - that game was relentless and without mercy), but not most. I can say for myself that to me some of the 90s PC games are unplayable, like HoM&M2 - every time I turn that on, after few minutes I feel like my eyes are burning. Same with some early 360 games, like Lost Planet or Dead Rising.

I very much agree with this, the GBA feels like an evolution of the SNES heyday, 16 bit goodness in everyway (although the GBA is technically a 2D based 32bit machine)........most of the DS generation just felt gimmicky and unappealing to me, outside of a few gems like Contra 4 and NSMB.
When games have such divisive ratings - critics love it, consumers hate it - I tend to believe that the true result is somewhere in the middle.
That's because most games like that are riding such a gigantic hype train that they're bound for disappointment. People these days get their expectations too high and the media doesn't help the issue.
Another one: modern games are "not" overpriced in anyway, if anything IOS has skewed people's perception in the wrong direction .....the only thing I can agree with is that most DLC in its totality does not match the expansion packs of old.........still 59 dollars for an AAA game is not unreasonable.
Nintendo 7th gen wasn't exactly my favorite, because even though there were definitely some amazing titles that I owned for the systems (that easily rank up my top favorite games of all time), like the main Pokémon games, NSMB, Kingdom Hearts games, and SMG, TLOZ: TP & SS for Wii, but overall, I found most of it all too gimicky for my tastes, especially Wii's motion controls being shoehorned in with there only being a few instances where they actually worked (see Zelda games). Weirdly enough, I think think that the Wii U & 3DS (which could still arguably be labeled as gimicky) are a massive step up from this, and I've had much more enjoyment with my Nintendo systems this gen. Everything just feels so better, Mario Kart Wii to Mario Kart 8 for example, the actual gameplay itself is breathtaking in difference.
