I think I'll just forget about 2015...2016 is where it's at!
Zelda & Star Fox in the same year plus a new console is more exciting than the last 3 years combined.

@Action51 Not sure if I should even respond to this straw man, but you're reading way too much into my comment.
If you say "I don't think we should deify him" is this huge personal attack, well then let's just say I simply disagree with you. Ironically enough, your post is all about me though instead of Iwata.

@Olmectron Post #115 went a little bit overboard don't you think? Iwata was awesome yes, but the 2005 restructure which basically killed R&D1 and built up Miyamoto's EAD division was a horrible decision by Iwata imo. Idk if you're a fan of the 2D Metroids or the Wario Land games, but if you are you'd understand.
All in all though he was an awesome president and he will be missed... and if it's still too early to talk openly about his record as a president then I apologize.

@liveswired No offense, but Iwata made a lot of bad decisions also, so I don't think we should deify him.
Like, nobody ever mentions that he destroyed R&D1 which was Nintendo's greatest development studio - yes, even better than EAD imo. Their games might not have sold as well, but they satisfied their hardcore audience, which is something the new President seems to understand. It remains to be seen if his actions live up to his words tho...

Wave Race and 1080 Snowboarding?!
All hail NOE! (sorry America)

Man, this site really hates Tri Force Heroes! It's probably my favorite game of the year.

@B3ND3R I'm with you. I will never understand how K. Rool is so popular - I really love Rare and most of their characters but Smash fans are really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this choice.

Add Meowth or Psyduck! They don't have to be all serious fighters

He replied to a friggin tweet...the title made it sound like he made some sort of statement.

@zackreed This must be the announcer from Sega's GX then? I would prefer F-Zero X's announcer who sounds like some sort of robot mutant wrestler on steroids - this guy sounds wimpy in comparison. And apparently Nintendo agrees with me since they put his voice in Mario Kart 8/Big Blue.

The gameplay looks pretty fun to me!
I still don't like the music tho and the announcer's voice sounds weak. If they had collaborated with Nintendo, they could have given this game more character and atmosphere.

@hadrian I'm not sure about that. It was a sweet video, but nothing new really. It's just a little presumptuous to pick a name like that imo. Anyway, I already regret posting that comment...not because of the "The Gaming Historian™", but because this should be about Iwata.

That guy has some major chutzpah to call himself "The Gaming Historian".

I'm probably gonna buy this, I just hope the music won't be all horrible Eurodance stuff like in that trailer.....nothing can beat those F-Zero tunes, damn it Nintendo!

It looks awful, barely improved. I will still buy it though because of left-handed Link, i.e. no motion controls.

@MitchVogel I don't think so. This looks like the Ryu situation to me: Capcom & Square have Nintendo by the balls with Monster Hunter and the Dragon Quest games. Without those 2 franchises Nintendo would be in big trouble.

YES!!!! No K. Rool - a day to celebrate!

@Classic603 What should be changed?? All the people who want an updated version for the 3DS want 2.5D graphics. If it's just getting remade for that reason alone they should at least wait for the NX, because it would look ugly as sin on the 3DS.
Also, after seeing how they kiddy-fied their only mature franchise with Federation Force, it would suck if one of the greatest games of all time gets the same treatment.

I'm one of the ppl who like the 2D Metroids wayyy more than the Prime series. It's just too bad that Sakamoto has no intention of making another one after all the rage about Other M which was actually a good game.

And please don't remake this game, it's almost perfect! Nobody needs a Super Metroid 3D that looks like ALBW or Federation Forces.

@LUIGITORNADO I think that's already happened. He's said himself that he's not at all involved in the development of the NX, plus he's no longer General Producer of EAD. That said, I have no idea if his new title "Creative Fellow" really means that he has less input.

@Morph I agree 100%. It's so sad how people are so easily manipulated by articles like these. "Miyamoto needs to go!!!!!" - I'm not being a blind fanboy, but I think even in modern times Miyamoto's input is more positive than negative most of the time...I mean did everyone forget that without him Metroid Prime would have been a lame 3rd person Zelda clone?

Whoa, I never thought we would get Konami Krazy Racers! Everybody should definitely check it out, it came out before Mario Kart Super Circuit and is without a doubt far superior.

Super lame pick. I guess Nintendo wants the next Shovel Knight game to be an NX exclusive.

@gaming_24_7 True, but I thought you criticized the NOE department in your original post and I don't think NOE could decide on their own to let Europeans download whichever version of a game they want. I get your point though, just saying that that decision would have to be for every region.

@gaming_24_7 I know that it sucks, but there's not much NOE can do about 50Hz...at least Nintendo is optimizing their games unlike Sony. I downloaded Symphony of the Night a couple of months ago and it's so slow and the image is squashed.

You could have mentioned that he sold tickets for this "party". Advertising his tournament - that he makes money off of - with someone else's IP makes it even worse. If a company were to allow something like this to take place, it would open the floodgates...they're simply taking care of their intellectual property, but gamers will rage anyway.

Might be a silly reason to dismiss an entire game, but that main character is giving me serious douche chills, wow.

I'm also glad that we got Uprising instead, but it is a shame that Nintendo apparently has no interest in making mature games anymore...even the new Metroid Prime game for 3DS looks like a game for 12 year olds.

Not even mad! Because Mario Maker is literally taking up all of my playing time and I don't think that's gonna change for the foreseeable future.

@luke88 I was told by 2 family members that it's awful :/...I'm gonna have to rework it before I feel confident enough to share it.

@Volcanox Not a single person has played my level either, but after reading this number I'm not surprised!

Yeah and I'm one of them...whenever I play against a Japanese team there's a 99% chance of me getting my ass kicked. I may be a bad player, but matches with and against non-Japanese players are pretty chill and not rage-inducing

@Bass_X0 Okay, I think they should drop the "first" and let us vote multiple times. These "what game above all else do you want"-polls leave out too much.

Wow, Sin & Punishment and BOTH StarTropics? Great week, multiple votes should be allowed for this poll!

@Nintendo69 I agree 100%. What about characters from Golden Sun, Sin & Punishment, Chibi Robo, Wario Land, etc...I would even prefer K. Rool to Shovel Knight, or if you have to go 3rd party how about Bomberman??

Seriously...Master of Disguise? That is the worst Wario game ever. Why can't they just give us Wario Land: Shake It instead??

I felt really bad for him, but the more I think about it the more I feel he totally deserved it.
There is absolutely no reason for a Treehouse employee to go on a podcast, it is not their job to play the PR role. He had nothing to gain from his appearance except to garner some recognition among gamers and to appear interesting...his vanity got the better of him and he realized that too late.

I'm glad they didn't get to ruin Metroid, the Lords of Shadow games were the worst trash ever.
Just let Retro handle Metroid Prime and give the 2D Metroids to Intelligent Systems, that's all I want.

Very conflicted about this. His facebook post is heartbreaking, but at the same time he broke company rules just to get a little bit of fame from a podcast interview.
I can't believe he thought that there wouldn't be any repercussions from revealing secrets from this ultra-secretive gaming company...

I'd trade all the Donkey Kong Country games for Banjo-Kazooie alone.

Omfg this is awesome news! I've always thought it would be great for Nintendo to purchase Hudson Soft's IPs from Konami. I'd give anything for a new Bomberman on my 3DS.

I'm team South Pole. North Pole may have Santa, but South Pole has The Thing that massacred that whole antarctic research station.

I would have no problem with remasters to hold Nintendo fans over for new games, give us the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Zelda:TP & SS without motion controls.
Also, I hope that the NX will be hybrid as well. That would be the only acceptable reason to have another underpowered system.

@deemdadim Sry, just figured out notifications.
It's Impact from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64.

Call me crazy, but this looks like tons of fun to me. Itagaki's games are challenging to say the least and definitely not for everyone. I happen to love (most of) the modern Ninja Gaiden games, so I think this game will be alright and worth the purchase.

Wow, everybody here who is outraged over Itagaki's comments has obviously never heard of him. What he said here is tame compared to what he would say in the past about critics of Dead or Alive. Being crazy and argumentative has always been his MO, just look up his thoughts on the Tekken series.

I kinda agree with the commenters here. This whole Devils Third affair is not making NintendoLife look great.
Yeah, the reviewer could be totally right that this game is a huge mess, but the attitude displayed by the reviewers on this site seems unprofessional to say the least. It's almost like they seem to enjoy bashing this game as seen in comments like "Well I didn't have much fun capturing the footage " in reply to a commenter who said this could still be fun.

Whatever! I'll still give it a chance.

@VR32F1END woops, I should have read the comments more carefully...
But yeah, Unseen64 is definitely a headache for Nintendo, so discrediting them is at the very least a welcomed byproduct for them.

how bout this conspiracy theory:
NOA changed their minds to publish Devil's Third in order to discredit Unseen 64 because they have riled up Nintendo fans by saying the NX won't be nearly as powerful as the PS4.
Ya i know, I'm reaching.......
