The Miis should be given a generic or blank face tor online use. That way, no one will see Hitler, Bin Laden, Hussein, Beiber, Penisface, or anything else offensive; and people could still use Miis!
Remember when Final Fantasy was at its peak of quality on Nintendo systems? Then it was as good on Playstation, then it started to suck? Now it's good again, but on Nintendo systems!
@Technosphile It couldn't be Marin from Link's Awakening, could it? A humanized Ruto? I would agree with the goddess theory, but presumably a goddess wouldn't need a spellbook.
So is Nintendo going to buy all their lawyers yachts and name more characters after them like they did with John Kirby? With all these (frivolous) lawsuits, we could get enough new characters for another Smash Bros game!
Philips attorney: "Gee, it sure is boring around here." Philips CEO: "My boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for!" Accountant: "Your majesty, Nintendo and their minions are making more money than us!" CEO: "Hmmm...how can we help?" Accountant: "It is written: 'Only Philips can frivolously sue Nintendo." Attorney: "Great! I'll grab my semi-resonable argument!" Accountant: "There is no time. Your bullsh*t is all you need. Accountant: "Scrodala! We're off!" CEO: "Dinner."
@JakeShapiro I figured that would be the answer. It's just odd that one reviewer would give it a 4/10 (which actually convinced me not to get it on the Wii), and then it gets a 7/10, almost a 50% increase. But it was a stupid question in the first place.
Nintendo takes great pride in the games they make, especially the control scheme to their games. The only Nintendo franchise that could play well is Pokemon. You can't get the same control for Mario, DK, Zelda, Metroid, and etc on a touch screen.
Plus, the mobile market is like the Coney Island of video games: cheap games, cheap prices, cheap quality, and 99% of the games feel like rip offs.
If ANYTHING, Nintendo could develop a brand new franchise that would be ideal for touch screens, if not market their own mobile device.
@domdom87 I know, I know. Literally, right after I posted my comment, I saw that the Wii Shop Channel would be unaffected. I gave myself a Falcon Facepalm.
(No particular order) 1. Metroid Prime Hunters (modified to use the analog sticks) 2. Mario Kart DS 3. Super Mario 64 DS 4. Final Fantasy IV 5. Custom Robo Arena 6. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon 7. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (and/or Platinum) 8. Chrono Trigger DS 9. Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks 10. Star Fox Command
Assuming that Nintendo updates all these with online multiplayer functionalities. Maybe even connectivity with DSs and 3DS for local multiplayer.
@Phil_Kavadias If it's Tom McShea that reviewed the game, don't believe a word he says. He absolutely HATES Nintendo, but for some reason, GameSpot continues to let him review Nintendo games.
Remember the Nintendo Direct that revealed Monolith's "X"? McShea says it was Nintendo "trying to copy Monster Hunter".
The gamepad aspect (dual screen gameplay) seems to be a good idea, considering Sony and Microsoft are already trying to rip it off with the PS4/Vita connection and Xbox Smartglass.

Re: Here's Another Huge Batch of Hyrule Warriors Screens to Enjoy
@Technosphile I LOVE the fact that Argorok (dragon boss from Twilight Princess) is in this game. The ABSOLUTE best boss fight from Twilight Princess!

Re: Wii Owners Are Upgrading To PlayStation 4, Claims Sony
As long as Sony pulls crap like "Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale", I won't support them. I haven't owned a Playstation since the PS One.

Nintendo straight up owned E3! STAR FOX!

Not to sound cynical, but are there that many people that care about Vivillon?
Re: Upcoming Child of Light Patch to Rename Difficulty Settings
Filthy CASUALS! Soon "casual" will be a slur towards certain gamers. Example: "Look at those 'casuals' playing their games on EASY difficulty."

Re: Microsoft's Ken Lobb: Metroid Prime Wouldn't Have Been Made If Nintendo Had Listened To The Fans
If Microsoft had listened to fans, we wouldn't have the Kinect. That's a prime example of why companies SHOULD listen to fans.
Re: Super Mario 64 Gets The Oculus Rift Treatment
Sure, try to play Mario 64 in 1st-person. Have fun swinging Bowser around. Be sure to bring a barf bag.

Re: Feature: Time For a Super Smash Bros. New Challenger Screenshot Blowout
Remember, whenever you're in trouble in Smash Bros, just remember this one thing--
Samus: "Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all.
Nothing at all.
NOTHING AT ALL."
Re: Review: Mach Rider (3DS eShop)
Didn't this get a 4/10 for the Wii VC review?

Re: Nintendo and Retro Studios Speak on Resistance to Going Mobile
After the Philips CDi did...THAT...to the Mario and Zelda games, Nintendo vowed to never again allow one of their games on someone else's console.

It'd be really funny if Bayonetta ended up as a new Smash character.

Re: Nintendo Switching Off Wi-Fi Connection Service On Wii And DS
Let's hope Nintendo plans to at least combine Wii & Wii U mode. Or at least give us access to the Wii Shop Channel via the eShop.
Re: Nintendo Switching Off Wi-Fi Connection Service On Wii And DS
What about the Wii Shop Channel?

Here's hoping for Origin Giratina as a Pokeball character!
Or a boss...
Re: Month Of Kong: Meet Donkey Kong's Extended Family
If Funky Kong is DK's brother, that would (or at least should) also make him Diddy's father. Nintendo should confirm this.
