Just because there are four slots doesn't mean that we'll get four characters. We may get two or three additional characters, including Mewtwo and Lucas, but there may not be a fourth character.
All I can say is poor Sakurai. What he's supposed to get his vacation would instead continue working on creating character, despite his arm injury.
First, Nintendo is not going to port its Nintendo console experience to smart devices. They are planning to make completely new games that suits the touch screen functionality.
Second, They are not going to abandon their hardware-software gaming development, as Nintendo is going to reveal their future game platform codenamed: NX, and they also said that their passion for making hardware and software video games has become stronger even after collaborating with a mobile software publisher like DeNA.
Finally, this will help Nintendo in attracting hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of consumers who are on fence of buying a Nintendo product. Let's face it, dedicated video games share are overwhelmed by the smart devices, and I can see why Nintendo is going with this approach.
After reading the translated presentation, I now feel a bit optimistic about this collaboration. If this will help Nintendo to attract hundreds of millions of people, or at least hundreds of thousands, then why not?
Maybe this Nintendo NX is some sort of unified account system instead of a new hardware, since the 3DS and Wii U were included in this presentation slide. It doesn't necessary mean that a new hardware is coming next year.
Their video games tax is ridiculously high.(120%). I'm not surprised that Nintendo quit Brazilian market. Unless Brazilian's government significantly lowers their tax, you can expect Sony or Microsoft will do the same.

Re: Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter Campaign Smashes Its Funding Goal In Less Than An Hour
It's going to reach 650,000 pounds soon. I wouldn't be surprised if It reaches 1,000,000 by tomorrow.
Re: Playtonic's Project Ukulele Becomes Yooka-Laylee, Wii U Release Confirmed
Even the name has the spiritual feeling of Banjo-Kazooie. I applaud PlayTronic for trying to bring back the golden era of 3D platforming.
Re: Treyarch Isn't Working on Call of Duty: Black Ops III For Wii U, Though Activision is Noncommittal
I guess we'll have to wait for Treyarch to tell us whether there will be a Wii U version or not.
Re: Treyarch Isn't Working on Call of Duty: Black Ops III For Wii U, Though Activision is Noncommittal
That's one of the reason why I'm considering to build a gaming PC. But even so, the Wii U will still be my primary console.
Re: Splatoon Wii U Hardware Bundle Confirmed for PAL Regions, Arrives In Australia and New Zealand 30th May
I wish Nintendo added Splatoon theme to the Wii U hardware, not just the box.
Re: Games Consultant Believes Nintendo NX Could Be "The Defining Video Game Controller Of The Smart Device Age"
Almost everyone presumes that NX is a successor to Wii U or 3DS, and I think that they're wrong. it could be something that has its own category.
Re: Rumour: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 Teased For Nintendo Release
Treyarch has been making CoD games for Nintendo consoles since World at War, so there is a big chance that they would bring this game to Wii U.
Re: Former Rare Devs Playtonic Want Donkey Kong Country Villain K. Rool In Super Smash Bros.
Many people would agree with them since it's King K. Rool. But I don't care anyways.

Re: Empty Slots on Super Smash Bros. Site Suggests More Upcoming DLC Characters
Just because there are four slots doesn't mean that we'll get four characters. We may get two or three additional characters, including Mewtwo and Lucas, but there may not be a fourth character.
All I can say is poor Sakurai. What he's supposed to get his vacation would instead continue working on creating character, despite his arm injury.
Re: Review: Super Mario 64 (Wii U eShop / Nintendo 64)
It's the game that revolutionized the 3D platforming. So it deserves to get 100/10 from me.
Re: Poll: Which Characters Do You Want to Win the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot?
Hey, Galacta Knight would be a good fit for smash bros. Just saying.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Turns to Classics, DLC and amiibo to Keep Fans Hooked
Off-topic: why is this website swimming in ads that comes out of nowhere.
On-topic: This Direct really surprised me in many ways, from Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot to 200cc Mario Kart 8,. Good job, Nintendo.

Re: Sega Producer Explains Exactly What Went Wrong With Sonic Boom
"Speed is always a Sonic thing, we didn't focus on that".
Duh. That's one of the reasons Sonic Boom failed miserably.
Re: Video: New Pixels Movie Trailer Passes One Million Views in Less Than a Day
I have noticed something: doesn't this movie make the video game look bad?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's DeNA Plans and Ideas Are Smart, Not a Beginning of the End
Three points I would summarize this news:
First, Nintendo is not going to port its Nintendo console experience to smart devices. They are planning to make completely new games that suits the touch screen functionality.
Second, They are not going to abandon their hardware-software gaming development, as Nintendo is going to reveal their future game platform codenamed: NX, and they also said that their passion for making hardware and software video games has become stronger even after collaborating with a mobile software publisher like DeNA.
Finally, this will help Nintendo in attracting hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of consumers who are on fence of buying a Nintendo product. Let's face it, dedicated video games share are overwhelmed by the smart devices, and I can see why Nintendo is going with this approach.
Re: Read The Full English Translation of Nintendo & DeNA's Presentation
After reading the translated presentation, I now feel a bit optimistic about this collaboration. If this will help Nintendo to attract hundreds of millions of people, or at least hundreds of thousands, then why not?
Re: Read The Full English Translation of Nintendo & DeNA's Presentation
So is it a good thing for Nintendo to make smart devices games? Also, can someone explains the NX game platform for me?
Re: Nintendo Working On New 'Dedicated Game Platform' Codenamed 'NX'
Maybe this Nintendo NX is some sort of unified account system instead of a new hardware, since the 3DS and Wii U were included in this presentation slide. It doesn't necessary mean that a new hardware is coming next year.
Re: Nintendo Set To License All IP to Mobile Publisher DeNA
The spokesperson just said that the excellent game experience that you get on Nintendo consoles won't be ported to smart devices.

Re: Modder Makes Chrom Playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
I can see why Sakurai didn't want Chrom to be in this game. He would be to similar to Marth in terms of swordplay.
Re: Freedom Planet Bringing Its Brand of Sonic-Style Action to Wii U
It's one of the games that I mentioned on my forum topic months ago, and it's actually coming to Wii U. Thanks GalaxyTrail.

Splatoon perfectly fits in with eSports tournaments.

Re: Club Nintendo to Close, With Replacement Loyalty Programme Coming Later in the Year
I've joined Club Nintendo when they have announced MK8 promotion, so I haven't got the chance to try the most out of it.
Hopefully, this new loyalty program will be an initial step for a new account-based system.
Re: Retro Studios Launches Twitter Account And Sets Off The Rumour Mill
It only confirms that Retro Studios has created a Twitter account, nothing else. And yet, people starts to make assumptions.
