Pretty much what I expected. I don't trust Artoon (or Arzest, as they're called now apparently) after Yoshi's Island 2/DS. That game was no where near as good as the first, this seems to be in the same boat.
I don't get why they outsource projects to that studio to begin with.
I wouldn't mind some more DKC personally. Though I'm fine with whatever they decide to make. I've loved all of their titles so far, amazing bunch of developers
Sakurai have posted every new SSB trailer on Miiverse in a Miiverse post for example. And the New Super Mario Bros. developers post some amazing speed runs of levels in NSMBU from time to time.
Man, this sounds & looks outstanding. Definitely a GOTY contender, DKC:R was my favorite 2D platformer last gen! David Wise doing amazing music, gorgeous HD visuals, awesome level design etc. etc. etc.
@Funny_Moblin Not at all. Both Toon Zelda and SS Zelda are better designs IMO, and they would both fit in better using the artstyle of this game (which is a lot more colorful than SSBB). Re-using the SSBB model seems lazy to me, there are better and more interesting choices when it comes to her design.
This looked so goofy and weird. Pretty fun co-lab, but I'm not a big fan of Dynasty Warriors, so I'll probably skip it. Nice to see them experimenting though.
This Nintendo Direct was really great. Full of surprises!
I'm hoping for a new Mario Kart 8 trailer, or some kind of info on it. I'd also like to know what Reggie meant with that "The year of Luigi will continue 2014".
It'll be fun to see what we can expect for the 3DS in early 2014 as well.
@ToxieDogg "How is posting my friend code in a conversation thread with somebody on 3DS Miiverse any different whatsover to clicking on their profile on Wii U Miiverse and friend requesting them? "
If you read the Miiverse code of conduct it says you're not allowed to spread any kind of personal information. A FC is considered personal.
Adding someone through Miiverse on WiiU isn't sharing any kind of information over the service itself with everyone. It's a personal invite to someone else.
@Galenmereth I'm not trying to argue it's wrong of anyone to complain about it. Complain all you want, leave the platform if you want. It's all up to you. As I said, the best way to vote is to not use it.
@unrandomsam
Then don't. The best way to vote against it is to not use it.
@Galenmereth
If you don't want to follow their rules on their platform, I'd recommend you find some other platform you're more comfortable with. That's what I'd do. Users not following the rules makes the service a worse place (from Nintendo's standpoint), leaving would mean less work for the moderators, which is good.
I'm pretty sure you'll be fine without ever using Miiverse though. It's not like games on Nintendo platforms are heavily online focused.
Neat. Can't wait to play DKC:TF. The game looks outstanding
I also have to say that I disagree that this should have been shown in a independent Nintendo Direct. I feel the exact opposite. It's better to announce it here than waste it on a Nintendo Direct. Save the big announcements for Nintendo Direct's or Game Expo's, not an award show.

Re: Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Could Have Been a Nintendo Exclusive
New tech from a foreign company.. It was probably considered to much of a risk.
But that's how it goes. I doubt it'll haunt them though, its just business. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Things are unpredictable.
Re: Nintendo Registers An Intriguing S.T.E.A.M Trademark For A New Game
Reminds me of Project H.A.M.M.E.R. Nice to see a new trademark. Could possibly be a eShop title I guess.
Re: Video: Check Out The Mario Kart 8 Visual Upgrade in This Retro Track Comparison
I really hope they release DLC for this game. I'd love more re-imagined retro stages. They look absolutely fantastic!
Re: Preview: Mario Kart 8
Look amazing. Can't wait to play it!
Re: Video: What Could The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Look Like In HD?
Minor difference.
If they would ever do a remake of any Wii title I want them to do it like with Wind Waker HD. Added visual effects etc. Not just an upped resolution.
Re: Feature: Bandai Namco Characters We'd Love to See in Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
PacMan needs to happen. Having Sonic, Mario, MegaMan & PacMan in the same game would be amazing
Re: Review: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (3DS)
Awesome! Looking forward to playing it!
Re: Review: Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
@bbve
What does the New Super Mario Bros. devs have to do with anything?

Re: Disney Interactive Cuts Around 700 Jobs, A Quarter of Global Staff
That's a TON of people. Poor souls. I hope they find new jobs.
I kind of get it though. It must be easier to outsource projects to other studios, like how EA are getting to work with the Star Wars license.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Confirms Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition Software Bundle
Definitely getting the shell bundle
Loved the WInd Waker HD Ganondorf bundle.
Re: TwitchPlaysPokémon Conquers Pokémon Red
@Artwark
If it was Nintendo would have shut them down. It's pretty awesome that they allow this IMO.
Re: Retro Studios Talks Up Wii U And Has Been Working On A New Title Since November
I wouldn't mind some more DKC personally. Though I'm fine with whatever they decide to make. I've loved all of their titles so far, amazing bunch of developers
Re: Nintendo Switching Off Wi-Fi Connection Service On Wii And DS
No more Mario Kart on Wii
Not much of loss though. I'll be picking up Mario Kart 8 at launch anyway.
Re: Weirdness: There's a Metroid in my Spelunky
That was embarrassing to watch.. "what are those face-hugger enemies in METROID called?"... :/
Cool mod though.
Re: Video: These Are The Ten DS Games We Want To See On The Wii U Virtual Console
I'd like to buy the games I never played on the DS.
999 & Ghost Trick for example. I've heard both are excellent. I would rather get them on the 3DS though. It's a bit weird this is only for WiiU.
Re: Minor Miiverse Update Improves Options For Following, Screenshots and Videos
@6ch6ris6
Developers can post videos.
Sakurai have posted every new SSB trailer on Miiverse in a Miiverse post for example. And the New Super Mario Bros. developers post some amazing speed runs of levels in NSMBU from time to time.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Wii U)
Day 1
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th February
Really great showing this time!
Re: Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 13th February
A new Mario Kart trailer would be nice.
Re: These Super Smash Bros. Home-Run Bat Screens May Brighten Your Day
I absolutely love the facial animations they've added to the characters. Looks fantastic & gives the game loads of personality.
Re: This 'Provisional' Mario Kart 8 Box Art May Get You Into Gear
Why are Mario & Peach driving backwards..? That's just weird.
This should feature a Lakitu telling them to turn around.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Unlockable Treats in the Upcoming Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Bad teaser IMO.
Can't wait to play this though!
Re: Rumour: 2015 Sonic Title To Hit Wii U Alongside PS4 and Xbox One
Nice with some 3rd party support. Too bad it's a Sonic game.
Re: Lucario The Aura Warrior Returns To Battle In Super Smash Bros. 3DS & Wii U
Would rather have had Mewtwo. Never liked Lucario in SSBB.
He might be better now though, since the aura have gotten a buff. We'll see.
Re: Video: World 2 Of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Looks Something Like This
Can't wait to play this!! Looks outstanding!
Re: Matters of Import: E.X. Troopers Brings The Heat To 3DS
They should release this digitally over here at least. Seems wasted to only release this in one region.
Re: Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Box Art Enters The Courtroom
That looks awesome! Can't wait to finally play it!
Re: Preview: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
@Kawaii_Neko
It looks amazing! I just want to hug him!
http://i39.tinypic.com/rcu3xv.png
I wish he could look this good in SSB4
Re: Preview: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Man, this sounds & looks outstanding. Definitely a GOTY contender, DKC:R was my favorite 2D platformer last gen! David Wise doing amazing music, gorgeous HD visuals, awesome level design etc. etc. etc.
My fingers are itching to play this!!
Re: Ubisoft Refuses to Comment on Watch_Dogs Wii U Cancellation Rumours
Sad news. But I could understand the decission.
Re: Video: The First Thirty Minutes Of The Best 3DS Action Game You've Never Played
What's with the overabundance of cutscenes? Got pretty annoying to watch..
Anyway, great looking game. Too bad it's JP exclusive.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Games Our Readers Would Love to See in 2014
I would LOVE a new ExciteTruck!
Re: Nintendo Confirms Major Reductions In Sales and Financial Projections
Was about time they cut their projection.
That's a huge cut though.. Not good news at all.
Re: Zelda Unveiled as New Smash Bros. Challenger
@Funny_Moblin
Not at all. Both Toon Zelda and SS Zelda are better designs IMO, and they would both fit in better using the artstyle of this game (which is a lot more colorful than SSBB). Re-using the SSBB model seems lazy to me, there are better and more interesting choices when it comes to her design.
Re: Zelda Unveiled as New Smash Bros. Challenger
@GoldenMarth51
Because she is easy to implement. All they have to do is updated the SSBB model.
Re: Zelda Unveiled as New Smash Bros. Challenger
I hate that they're just copy/pasting SSBB characters. Extremely boring. Haven't felt excited for any veteran yet. It just feels like Brawl.
Re: Rosalina, Baby Characters, New Courses And Unique Rides All Confirmed For Mario Kart 8
This game looks stunning visually. Love the look of the tracks as well. This could be the best MK games since MKDS
Re: New Donkey Kong Trailer Grabs Attention as European Release Date is Confirmed
This looks amazing!
GOTY material right there!
Re: Hyrule Warriors Is Zelda Meets Dynasty Warriors, And It's Coming To Wii U In 2014
This looked so goofy and weird. Pretty fun co-lab, but I'm not a big fan of Dynasty Warriors, so I'll probably skip it. Nice to see them experimenting though.
This Nintendo Direct was really great. Full of surprises!
Re: Nintendo Direct Focusing On Wii U And 3DS Games Coming Spring 2014 To Air Tomorrow
I'm hoping for a new Mario Kart 8 trailer, or some kind of info on it. I'd also like to know what Reggie meant with that "The year of Luigi will continue 2014".
It'll be fun to see what we can expect for the 3DS in early 2014 as well.

Re: Marty Reminds 3DS Users What Not To Do On Miiverse
Their service, their rules. Don't like it, don't use it.
That's how I would have done it if I created a network for others as well.
Re: 3DS System Update Adds Nintendo Network ID, Miiverse and Unified eShop Funds
@HaastMK7
Of course they will. It's against the rules to share any personal information.
Re: 3DS System Update Adds Nintendo Network ID, Miiverse and Unified eShop Funds
Been posting some 3D Land. The service is, unfortunately, really slow on the 3DS. Doubt I'll use it as much as on the WiiU.
Nice to have the option though.
Re: 3DS System Update Adds Nintendo Network ID, Miiverse and Unified eShop Funds
Oh, it's out already?
Sweet. Been waiting for this for quite some time. Gonna go download it now.

What big new announcement did we se at VGX exactly..?
