Can I have your job where you make 300-400 dollars a day?

Considering the pretentious nature of your comment, your parents probably buy all of your consoles and you probably haven't worked a day in your life.

Some of us have responsibilities and just "buying a brand new console' to play one or two japanese games that SHOULD be accessible over here is just ridiculous.

Import consoles are not CHEAP, they have inflated prices for all sorts of reasons, be it conversion or just the process of purchasing it. So take your flawed richboy logic elsewhere.

Hate to say it, but nintendo could make money off the import scene.

They could A: Allow Japanese games, untranslated to be downloaded from the e-shop. Or B: make a PAID application that plays Japanese games.

I'd buy it, there are a few games I'd like to play, and a lot of them don't have steep learning curves.

C'mon nintendo. Seriously.

@Morph

I've been saying that about Sega for god knows how long.

HEY! GAIZ! Lets release this highly anticipated APP for -free- at the exact same time everyone is going to be starting up their new Wii-us and 3DSes and getting online! BRILLIANT!

That only leaves like, what, seven more characters to be revealed...

This game better have character DLC or my excitement level is plummeting fast.

Gotta love that holiday lag.

Happened so bad one year for Xbox360 and the next year for PS3 because of the vast amount of people getting consoles for christmas.

Its annoying and I really wish they'd 'prepare' for the rush, but I can live with it. Just sad because I was getting ready to go make a purchase.

I got this really good battery on my gamepad, never runs out. Its called... plugging it in.

YEAH! How dare those people who paid for the games production get mad because someone they don't like might screw up what they put their hard earned money toward.

Damn them for wanting things to be done the way they expected when they generously donated their money.

You guys are tools for thinking they don't have the right to be annoyed by this worthless snob getting the position she got.

Cynicism is a cancer.

I blame G4 for popularizing the cynical gamer trend that dominates the expressionism of modern gamers.

Sounds like Sony's typical strategy. Sony is like the two-faced cheerleader in highschool. Pretends to be everyone's friends but can't wait to stab them in the back.

I've yet to see the point of characters with feet bigger than their chests in games.

Lol, the fantasy that someday morons will be able to play the newest zelda on a sony console. They need to let those fantasies go, because that is just what they are.

Oh noes, new consoles are outselling old ones. Nevermind that the PS3 and PSP still hold the record for the 'most resold consoles of all time". I don't think the PS4 will be any different.

oh nevermind the fact that the 3DS is dominating everything EVERYWHERE.

He needs to come back. Pikmin is probably the most disappointed with a sequel I've been since I can remember.

Disappointment not stemming from how bad Pikmin 3 was, but how bad it is in comparison to its predecessors.

@DarkwingLz

Yes, but even if a Mario game is really good, it doesn't change the fact that we are getting sick of the scenery. I wouldn't mind playing a platformer that is just as good as Mario but with different characters/settings.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of starting new. Personally, I get tired of wearing the same shirt after a while and go out looking for a new one.

Nintendo is a master of giving us stuff we didn't know we wanted. I'd say no one in the world knew they wanted Zelda, Pikmin, or even Smash Bros until they got it. All these things started out as fresh ideas in their day.

Phones are at where the general internet was at about fifteen years ago. Now the internet is so policed and governed its hardly the lawless frontier it used to be. Give it time, phones will become just as restricted and in that restriction the price of making games for phones will go up.

Then they'll be in the same bandwagon as console makers.

Man sony fan boys really are psychotic aren't they?

I don't blame the paintbrush for a poopsydoodoocacapoopledoople painting, I blame the artist.

@BlatantlyHeroic

What statistics? Internet rhetoric and bad publicity on Xbox's part does not = instant success for the PS4.

The wii-u and the ps4/xboxone are not even competing on the same plane and people need to stop looking at it like that.

At the end of the day, developers will not be dishing out the ridiculous amount of money its going to cost to make games for the PS4/Xboxone, they will turn to PC gaming (where their product will be pirated beyond belief) or go to the Wii-u. This is how the Wii dominated the first two thirds of the last generation, appealing to the budget of smaller developers and japanese companies who will still be developing games for the ps3 for another three to four years.

And if people forget, the PSP and PS3 where the two most returned/traded in consoles of all time. OF ALL TIME.

And by doing this, they have saved trillions of children.

BS. If the kid has the ability to go online with the 3DS, he/she can just use the internet browser to achieve whatever dirty means they want.

Stop restricting adults from conversing because boys and girls can't keep it in their pants.

And when your PS4 comes out and raises those tides so hide it capsizes the little boats that try to make games at an affordable price, you'll be floating in the same 'no third party support' waters.

how about Fliptnote/ Oh wait, gotta protect the children.

What made this iteration so special?

I hope any fire emblem character gets nerfed.

The DLC should be free, considering the price of Pikmin 3 versus the content in the game.

It was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to short, even with the extra modes. Stay away keyboard warriors-- I'm a consumer who cares about the value of his buck and if I like something, I don't like it to end JUST as its getting good.

EA Didn't deserve that vote, as much as people think they did, they simply did not.

This just shows you what happens when the voting is done on the internet instead of elsewhere. A bunch of butthurt video game nerds will pick a company that does bad video game related stuff, not a real bad company the ya know, causes oil spills or harms the environment.

Obviously can't play this because its too dangerous for children.

This PR stunt is alienating the devoted costumers who have been supporting them since the eighties while attempting to appeal to a generation of 'gamers' that are far more interested in craptacular cellphone and tablet games.

This isn't working; and I hope they quickly realize the audacity of this moronic decision before it hurts them worse in the long run!

Better ban this too, mario party promotes competitive nature in children, competitive nature can lead to all sorts of dangerous situations. We gotta protect the kids here.

Better ban these, the bright colors will hurt kids eyes.

Nope, can't do this, kids will see this video and try it, better ban it. In-fact, lets ban stoves all together because they are a safety hazard for children.

@Reala

Then lets ban all communication in general! In-fact, lets segregate all children and adults into two separate societies to protect them! Then lets put all kids in solitary confinement so they never do anything that is typical of their age.

While we're at it, lets put helmets on all the kids too, cut their hands off, that way they can't pick up anything dangerous...

Ooh, and their legs too, sot hey don't trip and fall.

This is how ridiculous all of you who agree with this sound.

I think its BS. Moderating what your children do is your job as a parent, stop having technology raise your kid. You can impact parental controls on your kid's console, stop having us responsible adults punished because you're a crap parent.

Take your shame-rage somewhere else and I hope your lawyers burn in hell.

There is nothing okay about this.

Statistically the most dangerous thing in a child's life is school, far more accidents, molestation, and death happens in school than anywhere else for children. Lets ban that.

I'm with George Carlin on this one... People are far to concerned with 'saving the children'.

Pointless. This isn't saving any children's live's, only punishing those of us not stupid enough to miss-use the software. Nintendo is only doing this to avoid legal issues.

Parents should be responsible and research products before they get them for their kids, the damn console has a parental control setting for a reason. If you're too irresponsible to know what you're buying your kid, don't fork the money out for it.

Now the rest of us are being punished because a group of idiot parents can't be bothered to not let electronics raise their children. News flash though; if they can get-online and go on forums with their computers, they can do all sorts of dirty nasty things without swapnote.

Pointless.

There are a group of fans patching and translating the PSP version, they are 70 percent done. They are doing it for free with a team of about 6-9 coders and translators. Bandai Namco has no excuse.

If they were clever, they'd have Agumon meet pikachu.

I don't get the hate for DLC. A long time ago PC games capitalized on the concept of expansions and they were worth it. Then DLC reached a certain stage in which people were stupid enough to pay ten dollars for virtual clothes and crap (I blame Sony) and now the general belief that PAYING for an expansion to a good game is a bad idea.

If I can get another like, ten hours of gameplay, story, and even some new pokemon for like, seven bucks, I'd pay for it.

I personally feel like Sonic 3 is an insanely over-rated game and Sonic Adventure was a unpolished masterpiece. With a bit more work, I'd say its as good, if not better than Mario 64. Deal with it.

Needs more Wario.

I'm glad that Peta is wasting real money on protecting digital animals.

I think this also boils down to a lot of butthurt people who aren't happy because someone else got it early.

Oh call them a wahmbulance. We've made it before with Japan getting the game like six months ahead of us, a few days/weeks difference isn't going to kill it.

I for one am not a fan of blindly buying a game and knowing absolutely nothing about it.

If you are, that's fine, but stop calling the leakers bad people, its your choice to go on sites that are filled with leaked photos and information.

Yeah, that'd be great, fans pay for it, then capcom pays for it, then Inafune makes money, capcom makes money, and the fans are left with a game that may or may not be good.

Wonder how long before Kickstarters become illegal.

@jeb_leeds

And what makes you think that?

Sorry to his family and friends, but I wont miss his repetitive books.

Pretty bad that we live in a day in age where we have to PAY to have games made. Used to not be like this, until it became like, pretty much impossible to make a game anymore under a certain amount.

What if everyone donates all this money and the game turns out to be crap?

Revels in the pointless fan hate. God I love Toon Link. Sooo much better than johnathan taylor thomas link.

No, what is hurting games is the astronomical monopolization and over inflation of the business. The forced impact of it becoming mainstream and the BIGGEST offender on this concept, is you EA.
