This might be a game changer in Japan. They have very tiny appartments (one of the reasons they prefer now to play on smartphones). And watching content through the PS Vr makes you feel like you have a movie screen in front of you.

It just might be "the little thing" that will make PS VR a huge success there. That and the little panties in Dead or Alive XTreme 3 of course

The Yoshi/Raving Rabbits crossover sounds very possible to me. As I worked with Ubisoft 15 months ago (as a freelance), they teased me something that "will please me", because I just explained how much I loved Nintendo AND Rayman. They didn't say much more, hélas. But it was clear a crossover between those two universes was coming.

I believed at that time they meant Rayman would come to Smash Brosh... but, as everybody knows, it never happened. And I heard no news in the press about a crossover until today in this rumour. So it might be it.

@chardir Hahaha !!

Well they revealed the DS 6 months before its release so it's still possible NX will release in march !
And look at what Apple is used to : reveal 700-1000€ devices only ten days before their release... Nothing is impossible

First time I read people saying DKCR is better than DKTF !!!
Is it, really ??
I have only played to DKTF and I loved it so I guess it would mean I should buy DKCR..

@Peace-Boy

"50 Rupees

I'm not sure about "generosity".

The lack of votes for Mighty No.9 in the poll is relevant.
It might mostly bomb...

@Great_Gonzalez

"Well that's nice of him to say but I can't imagine a man in his position having enough spare time to play it!!"

He's a big gamer and took the time to get all the trophies on the Demon/Dark Soul Saga. And Bloodborne. Soooo I think he could play this Zelda from beginning to the end

Well... Big studios like Ubi Soft, EA or Square Enix must be busy working on NX since a whole year now. But they're harder to have on a mike
They will be on stage (or in the Nintendo Direct) the day the NX is revealed, for sure. So it makes sens

I personally don't believe anything from this rumor.

Nintendo had troubles with Wii U partly because they tried to get closer to what Microsoft and Sony did (second-screen principle excluded). Their biggest success are the most innovative products like GameBoy, DS or Wii, based on aging technologies used in a different way. The only thing we know for sure about NX is that it's something new, that they go into new waters. They said it.

So going Virtual Reality when everyone is going to VR : I don't believe a single word of that.

For a second, I thought it was A REAL t-shirt that we could order.
But it's for the miis...

Great speech from Reggie !

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara for me ! I prefer to buy it on Wii U than PS3.

Retropixel gaming is perfect on the Wii U Gamepad... And there are more chances that Wii U games will be backward compatible with NX. Not as PS3 games with PS4...

@Ryu_Niiyama "a site aimed to english readers" ? We all read English my friend. I'm french, all my french friends who own a Nintendo console read Nintendolife, and it's the same in spain, germany, italy, ...

It's an INTERNATIONAL website. As English is an international language.

As for the problem of the language in the game, yeah, it's a problem. Because perfectly reading english doesn't mean you will easily find the words the game ask you for.
So yeah, that could be very useful to write in its review that the game is strictly in english and that it could be an issue for foreigners, as it will be sold in all international eshops.

Still have Sonic Jam on japanese Saturn. For me, it's their best versions so far They are the most faithfull versions to the originals... with all the bugs corrected

But I still would love to see the iOs remastered versions comme to modern consoles. And Sonic CD

Nintendo will release specific games for smartphones, games that have nothing to do with homeconsole games or 3DS.
So... why not see those games come to Apple TV ? As games on iPhone and iPad will be compatible with Apple TV, this would make total sense.

World of Illusion starring Mickey & Donald !

How much Mo takes the update on Wii U ?
I'm on holidays with my wii u and no internet connection except the 3g on my phone, so it does matter A LOT

Hi ! I'm french and "détruit" really means "destroyed" in common language. Not "damaged" or "spoiled".

Something "détruit" is a collapsed building, Paul Walker's car, ... or stuff like that.

Any information about the version of Paper Mario in Europe ? European modified to fit NTSC speed ? Or is it the NTSC 60Hz version ?

@Quorthon Nintendo always wants to secure its far future. As of today, their catalog is not enough to generate Wii U sales, even if the games are great.
They know they have to diversify. And it won't be only through smartphones.

That's why I think new IPS will come. Splatoon and Codename Steam are the first steps to launch big series. Even if Splatoon doesn't sell very well, it doesn't matter. What matter is that the game is good and appreciated. So buzz will generate and the annoucement of Splatoon 2 will have a bigger impact.
They have to rectify their shot with CodeName Steam and they will (it already has started with patchs and free DLC I think).

So, getting new ip's as popular as Konami's, if they were to sell, is in their interest. If so, Nintendo would ask itself for each of those IP "Is their a future for it ?". The answer for Metal Gear and Silent Hill is obviously "yes", because Nintendo doesn't have that kind of game in their catalog. It would be harder to get a proper answer for Castlevania because they have Metroid, but it's still a strong and popular ip.

Well, that's my opinion if someone asks me to what could lead such a decision as Konami's one to leave the video game business. They haven't for now

This analysis makes total sense. If it's true, I hope Konami will sell its catalog to another company. Like Sony or Nintendo, who would take great care of it.
I say Nintendo because I think they're gonna diversify their catalog a lot in the next years (imho the Wii U is the last hardware with only the usual catalog titles - they won't make the same mistake again) and yes, they could make a huge Silent Hill if they wanted to. Signs show they're more and more interested in more-mature games. It could be their opportunity to acquire hugely-loved-but-abandoned licences and orchestrate their rebirth. And to bring us the new Parodius we are all waiting for

My biggest hope would be Story of Thor (aka Beyond Oasis), Castlevania Bloodlines, World of Illusion and Sonic CD.

And I would definitly buy Virtua Racing, Aladdin, Cool Spot, Earthworm Jim, Lion King, Batman & Robin, Castle of Illusion, Quackshot, Contra Hard Corps, Global Gladiator, ...

@Wonder-Redhead @FragRed Except that Capcom doesn't intend to release different versions of the game in the way you say. They were screwed by the architecture of the first SF4 which couldn't allow the digital updates. They changed that with Super Street IV, which can get huge updates as it did with Arcade Edition or Ultra.
And Street Fighter V will be like that : the next versions will only be updates. The name of the game might change (Super, Hyper, Ultra, ...) but it will be only be updates. So no, don't expect SF5 or its evolutions to come on another machine than PS4.

@ZenTurtle Good to know. Thanks

Ocarina of Time 3D was 512MB.

As for the difference with the N64 Rom :

• Not the same resolution as N64.
• More textures. And textures take A LOT of space. (and that's the only reason PS4 games need around 40Gb install place)
• And... I don't know about musics and sounds but I think they take more space ? It was still something like midi on N64 (remember WipeOut which had loading time to unpack each music because they were NOT midi).

For the record, it was the same in France. Many retailers sold Captain Toad starting around December 18th instead of waiting the official release date (January 2nd too). Strange !

Super Castlevania IV is a very nice game... who aged. It's still a very good nostalgia moment for those who played it when it was released and it might still catch the interest of the others, enough to be played till its final credits.But its gameplay feels now very very old.

In my opinion, Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis) is a little more interesting, Dracula X (Nec, Super Nes) is far more challenging and fascinating, and the masterpiece of the saga still is Symphony of the Night (PSone, Saturn)...
