I loved Gaiden. Hopefully they revisit the Super Famicom ones some time.

If the Wii U's legacy could be summed up only as "the machine that plays Mario Maker," I would hail it the greatest console of all time. Offscreen play and other games are a decent bonus.

That is hilarious. I love that there are actual heroes fighting great monsters, but their battles are just obstacles of no particular interest to you that you have to cut around.

I still check articles here everyday, just don't comment much, partly because there isn't much Nintendo-related to comment on of late.

Did you have another user name once upon a time? I don't recognize it.

Good luck, Handy_Man.

What do they mean about Pit and Bayonetta not needing a formal introduction? How would they have fought before?

I hear it's pretty good.

Well, it shows you the entire level, so yea.

Shovel Knight or riot.

Please.

Good luck, Chicken.

If you're going to sexualize someone, at least don't make them look that ridiculous.

Finally, kids can browse the eShop safely.

"beautifully rendered gore" As clueless as Miyamoto may seem, this guy is at least as strange. Good game regardless.

Battlecon is one of my favorites as well. I play a game or two every week. Really looking forward to the online beta so I can play more often.

I don't do print and play stuff, but this loks quite fancy.

Wait, this was in New Orleans? Ugh, someone should have told me.

I don't understand the disappointment. The multiplayer will still be great. Nothing here contradicts that. And that is what the game is designed for. If it does what it sets out to do and falls short in doing something extra, oh well. Four Swords is one of the best games there is to play with friends. I don't see why one would even want to play it solo. The challenge and fun is in coordinating a group to work together instead of repeatedly throwing each other into pits to steal their gems. It is just a weird Zelda game without an overworld if played solo. I don't see anything to suggest Tri-Force Heroes would be different.

Glad this didn't work out. Wouldn't have gotten Uprising otherwise.

To sleep perchance to dream.

Yesssssssßssssssssssßßsssssssss.

Do DLC characters have custom moves, and do they need to be unlocked? Can't wait to play him again.

Hmm. Okay. I guess.

Yes.

If it is anything like the board game, the strategy is Risk-tier. Fairly dull game in my limited experience with the first three or four missions. Nothing wrong with a simple, luck heavy game if you're into that, but I don't know that Advance Wars / Fire Emblem comparisons should be expected. The board game is not anywhere close to that kind of strategy game.

I may be the only one who really loved this game. One of my favorites on DS, possibly my favorite. Can't wait to play it again. An expanded version would be cool, but I like the focus on improving your score.

I have always wanted a game like this.

Lame

If it is eighty dollars worth of game, I will pay eighty dollars. Nothing really to say about this approach until we know the value of the content.

LUCAS

This is outrageous! A Zelda game being delayed! Well, now I've seen everything.

From the quote, it sounds less like he wants it in today's Olympics, which would indeed be silly, but more like he envisions a future where the Olympics is more of an e-Sports thing in general because everything we do will be digital in the future.

This looks really cool, except for the sometimes-you-are-a-red-block thing. Thankfully, it looks like usually you will be a character.

I am ready.

Oh man, I really hope the Mystery Dungeon game comes over here. I suck at Etrian Odyssey, but I really like it, and Mystery Dungeon is the greatest. Great idea for a crossover.

Sakurai, my hero. Stand up to the needy masses! This is a big game. Looks like plenty of characters to me. Who needs more?

But if you do make DLC, I want Lucas, Flint, Protoman, Ridley, and Evil Jigglypuff. Thanks in advance. By the end of the year please.

Delusional Sony at its best.

I am very excited about this in theory, though I don't think I'll have the opportunity to try it. MOBAs don't seem like a good comparison at first since this isn't a strategy game with objectives, but on second thought, some stages do have bosses to fight over. I call jungle.

Just to let you know, the game's creator's name is misspelled:
Shigestao Itoi should be Shigesato Itoi.

Yea, it just isn't fun or balanced. Needs more stages.

1) An online one on one mode that is fun and balanced.
2) That would really be enough.

I haven't had the desire to play an RPG in years, but I think I will get this. Looks simple enough for me to enjoy, and I'm always glad to see a big indie project hitting the eShop. 2D4life

@Kogorn733 Nintendo did not retire Earthbound; its creator did, and not because of sales.

Rumor: Nintendo removed Tharja because she looks ridiculous.

Just in case the article doesn't mention this (just looked at the list myself), know that it is not an exhaustive list. Many if these characters have other ways to unlock. Wario, for instance, I got via 100man brawl, and Dr Mario by beating classic with Mario.

I seem to remember downloading Super Mario 3D World and A Link Between Worlds at midnight EST, so I imagine that will be when Smash is available for download, too. If you are in a different US time zone, download it then go play in line at a GameStop midnight release and tease everyone still waiting.

This is a spoiler thread. Please share. I saw a supposedly final roster on Smash Boards but it lacked Mii Fighters.

Also, on the topic of Ice Climbers, Sakurai said they were a technical problem for 3ds.

Link to final roster?

@Aviator

No Puff or Claus so far.

And then Maisie Williams murders all the other kids and laughs.

Reggie's body was born ready. The question is if the ice water bucket is ready for him.

Maybe someone let them in on the fact that holding a grudge against a company for comments made by someone who doesn't work for them anymore twenty years ago is ridiculously childish.
