Re: Reggie Has Seen The Xbox One And PS4 Launch Lineups, And He Says "Meh"

Xbone and PS4 have mostly shared games (Assassin's Creed 4, MGS: PP, CoD Ghosts, etc.)
Nintendo has Pokemon X & Y, Zelda WWHD & Link Between Worlds, DK Tropical Freeze, and even more!

Super Smash Bros 4 will be nothing short of the apocalypse for Xbone and PS4. To be honest, though, I am getting the PS4 for some of the aforementioned games. But Nintendo is my #1 priority!

Re: Talking Point: Wii U and Third-Party Inconsistencies Pose Questions for Console Owners

Pikmin 3 is only step 1 in their long list of blockbuster games. We still have Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros 4, "X" (Xenoblade 2), Wind Waker HD, Wonderful 101, DKC Tropical Freeze, and more.

I would like to see a "3DS Player" for the Wii U. The Game Boy Player was something no one asked for, yet everyone wanted. Nintendo just needs to give us surprises like that!

Re: Eiji Aonuma - The Wind Waker HD is a "Test Case" for New Zelda Wii U Title

Usually, remakes are kind of a "phoned in" tactic, but Nintendo knows how to do it right. Look at games like Metroid Zero Mission, Pokemon FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Super Mario 64 DS, Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, and even the 'New Play Control' games.

Even ports of games like Super Mario Advance and Link to the Past: Four Swords were awesome. I'm sure Nintendo knows what they're doing.

Re: Poll: Are You in the DLC Brigade?

I would like to see a big DLC pack released for Super Smash Bros 4, similar to New Super Luigi U. Eventually, a major game like Super Smash Bros 4 will need more maps, characters, and other additions to keep it from feeling outdated.

Take Brawl for example: released in 2008, most players (like myself) unlocked everything by 2010. By then, Nintendo could release some kind of "New Super Luigi U"-like update for more event matches, trophies, stages, additional campaign modes, and maybe even characters.

If Chrom "enters the brawl" (for lack of a better term), I hope he doesn't replace Ike or Marth. Sure, he could have the Down+B Counter move, it's a staple for Fire Emblem characters. But since Chrom can use both swords and lances, he should have the ability to switch between both. And his Final Smash could involve the other characters from Awakening.

@WesGrogan Damn straight!
But you forgot the colored Game Boys (Pocket) that were released as a joke while everyone was waiting for the Game Boy Color. The Game Boy Pockets sold like hot cakes because Nintendo introduced "personality" to consoles, a first for the industry.
And the Game Boy Color? 4 games sum up how awesome it was/is.
●Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
●Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
●Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
●Pokemon Crystal Version

How can people even underestimate Nintendo in the first place? Microsoft and Sony are ELECTRONICS companies; Nintendo is an actual VIDEO GAME company. They've been in this buisness for over 30 years, they have the best first-party support, bar none. And all their games are hardcore, insane-difficulty games hidden behind a kid-friendly image. Nowadays, Mario is more recognizable that Mickey Mouse (ironic this article is about Warren Spector).
