@Melkaticox I know that.. Now. But I think it's pretty stupid to release art for the game featuring the old Link from the get-go. I thought we were getting that design. Pretty disappointed they're not going with it.
From the looks of it, the new art resembles the in-game model a lot more though.So I guess it's more fitting overall.
The old art was a lot better than that new piece they showed today.. Love the look of the game though, can't wait to play it. Looks absolutely brilliant!
@dumedum
That's a different issue though. Nintendo is a LOT stricter with their own 1st party software (which Atlus games would be if Nintendo bought them).
Haha, yeah.. Good luck with that Iwata. I know this is just to please investors, but I think it would be more reassuring to hear something that sounds realistic.
I'll get the retail version of Pkmn Y, then I'll just buy the download version of Pkmn Z later down the line (or whatever the third version will be called).
They should stay on handhelds IMO. They do amazing sprite work, and I'd like them to keep doing that. If they moved to WiiU, it'd most likely have to be polygons.
Not to mention that the whole franchise in on Nintendo handhelds, so they'd screw over their fanbase a little.
@Grubdog Well, they did start working on Dream Team right after Bowsers Inside Story. So that seems very possible.
1h & 20 minutes in, absolutely loving it! The amount of fan service is great! I definitely understand what you mean in the review, this is going to be great if you've played the previous installments (especially BIS it seems).
@MrWalkieTalkie I'd love it if he was creating a new adventure with a big world and interesting characters. I can't really see that happening though considering his latest track-record. WiiFit was a "new experience" (as well as most Wii-series of games), so that sentence doesn't give me any comfort.
I'd love it if he proved me wrong and delivered something with the same amount of brilliance as Pikmin. we'll just have to wait and see.
@doctor_doak 3D World does feel like a 'hold on' title, kind of like how we're getting WWHD while waiting for the next big Zelda. Would be great news if that was the case.
I can't empathize how much I agree with this. I've played way to many shooters that feel exactly the same despite different storylines and characters.
I just find it weird that he feels this way and we still manage to get the NSMB franchise, which games are very alike to each other. I don't think I can remember a single level from NSMB2, that games was just like a DLC pack.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Dated for Europe
Day 1 for me! Looks great.

Aaaww yeaaah! I'm so ready for this! Can't wait for some new footage

Re: Animal Crossing Plaza and Miiverse Community Open on Wii U
All this made me think was "we're never getting Miiverse on the 3DS, are we Iwata?"..
Re: You'll Be Able To Dress Up As Mario And Luigi In Rayman Legends
Those are some sweet costumes
Re: Luigi Confirmed As Part Of The Smash Bros. Roster On 3DS And Wii U
Pretty disappointing that it's just a copy & paste of the SSBB version in HD. I would have liked some Poltergust 3000 moves etc.

Re: Platinum: Nintendo's Focus On Perfection Can Be "Unnerving", But They Give "Great Advice"
"We're not able to cover up weaknesses in the core gameplay by making the graphics prettier or adding cutscenes, or whatever. "
I love this quote. You can't fool Nintendo with shiny objects.
Re: Bethesda: Wii U Is "Not On Our Radar"Right Now
Awesome.
Re: New Nintendo Direct Coming August 7th, Focus Is "Previously Announced" Wii U And 3DS Software
Nice, I hope we get more footage on Wind Waker HD!
Re: Nintendo Has Sold 268.97 Million Consoles And 385.15 Million Handhelds In 30 Years
That's some pretty cool information.
Re: Capcom: If You Want Games Like E.X. Troopers, You Need To Speak Up
@JaxonH
I don't care for MegaMan in general. The point I was making is that they don't listen to fans, so why bother "speaking up".
Re: New 3DS Update Brings StreetPass Relay Functionality
All I really want is Miiverse.
Re: Iwata Looking To Return To "Nintendo-Like Profits" This Financial Year
Haha, yeah.. Good luck with that Iwata. I know this is just to please investors, but I think it would be more reassuring to hear something that sounds realistic.
Re: Capcom: If You Want Games Like E.X. Troopers, You Need To Speak Up
Like that's going to help? People spoke pretty loudly about wanting MegaMan Legends 3, but instead they canceled it and buried it.
Re: Pokémon X & Y to Catch Roughly 14,000 of Your 3DS Memory Blocks

Re: Miiverse Update Adds Tags to Posts
Miiverse is getting better and better.
Re: Asda Stores No Longer Stocking New Wii U Systems or Games
Well, Pikmin 3 seems to have sold great numbers none-the-less. So this doesn't seem to be affecting Nintendo much. People will just go elsewhere.
Hopefully this will increase the sales for GAME.
Re: AlphaDream Currently Has No Plans For The Mario & Luigi Series On Wii U
They should stay on handhelds IMO. They do amazing sprite work, and I'd like them to keep doing that. If they moved to WiiU, it'd most likely have to be polygons.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Rules Out Story Sequences For Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
Wow, that's a major disappointment.
Re: Mario Kart Arcade GP DX Racing to Arcades
Looks pretty cool. Nintendo should make this available on the WiiU eShop, I'd definitely pick it up.
Re: Preview: Rayman Legends
Love the demo, definitely getting this!
Re: Wii U Version of Mighty Switch Force! 2 Rated By PEGI
Awesome, I was hoping for a HD version. I bought Hyper Drive Edition, would be nice to own both for the same platform!

Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (3DS)
Picking this up today! CAN't WAIT!!
One of my most anticipated games this year!

Re: Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem Set For Modern Times "In The Real World"
Cool. Can't wait to see how the game is going to work!
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Emphasizes That New Experiences, and a New Franchise, Are Keeping Him Busy
@MrWalkieTalkie
Wasn't his latest original titles WiiFit/WiiSports/WiiMusic & SteelDiver?
Those titles weren't exciting for me.
Re: Soapbox: Why We Should Expect More From The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
Doesn't feel lazy at all to me. Looks way better than I was expecting.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Emphasizes That New Experiences, and a New Franchise, Are Keeping Him Busy
It probably won't be anything major. Most likely some kind of eShop title.
Re: Yacht Club Games Reveals Shovel Knight's Partner, Shield Knight
Shield knight..? Doesn't really go with the theme, they could have come up with something better IMO. Pitchfork Knight or something.
Re: Nintendo: Wii U Fire Emblem Would Need To Sell 700K To Justify The Effort
@snoox
The crossover game is for WiiU.
Re: Nintendo: Wii U Fire Emblem Would Need To Sell 700K To Justify The Effort
I was expecting more. 700k copies aren't that much. Isn't the 3DS game alone at about 1m already?
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th July (Europe)
MARIO & LUIGI: DREAM TEAM BROS.!!!, finally! Can't wait to play that one!
It just sucks that it seems like we won't be getting that gorgeous M&L themed 3DS XL over here
Re: European Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney Release Given Some Hope
I NEED this!
Re: Miyamoto: GamePad's Touch Screen Primarily Used To Make Navigating Menus Easier
So it's official, Nintendo had no plan for the WiiU Gamepad to begin with...
That's disappointing.
Re: Miyamoto: Mario Will Likely Return To Single-Player

3D World does feel like a 'hold on' title, kind of like how we're getting WWHD while waiting for the next big Zelda. Would be great news if that was the case.
Re: Iwata: Nintendo Not Considering Lay-offs To Strengthen Finances
That's great.
Re: Satoru Iwata - Tech Limitations Held Wii Vitality Sensor Back, But Launch is Still Possible
Just kill it off already. Looking at the picture of it I can practically hear it whispering: "Kill... Me...".
Re: Miyamoto: Fresh Experiences Make A New Game, Not New Characters

Re: Nintendo to Bring "Brand-New Types of Games" to Wii U in the Coming Months
Cool, hopefully it's something interesting and not just random small titles that are supposed to show of the GamePad.
Re: Miyamoto: Mario Will Likely Return To Single-Player
Nice, I hope we get to see another Galaxy/SM64/Sunshine type game during the WiiU's lifetime.
Re: Over 200,000 Gamers Have Bought StreetPass Mii Plaza DLC
More than I would have thought tbh
Re: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Iwata Asks - Development, Accessibility for All Gamers and More
@ricklongo
This isn't taking place in Mario's universe though. It's on Pill'ow Island.
The first game took place in the BeanBean Kingdom, and that felt very new and fresh for a Mario title. So hopefully this will be the same.
