They should at the very least be able to do something along the lines of the Zelda games, Fire Emblem Awakening level, or even Professor Layton (all cutscenes voiced, and then a handful of important dialogue). Give the user to change the language or turn it off, since the English voice actors can be hit or miss. There's no excuses at this point.
Wait... there was a full-on trailer released back in March? I missed that?! Huh. I guess I missed the NintendoLife article and nobody I follow on Youtube covered it. Gotta go watch that now!
Bridge to the Turnabout is my favorite AA case, this article does a great job explaining why. Shu Takumi knows just how to piece together a great story, and all of the elements combining in for the finale of the original AA trilogy is near-perfection.
As we mentioned in that "talking Pikachu" article a couple days ago, this movie is in fact in production. It'll be interesting to see if this turns out to be a good movie... or a hilariously bad one.
I don't think the New 2DS XL (ugh, I hate the name though) is a bad idea, it's just arriving too late. It should have been a November 2016 product. I do think it's wise to continue to focus on the 3DS even with the Switch's success, contrary to the popular opinion. Just not sure if this is the right time for another 3DS iteration.
I'm interested to see how many people will buy Breath of the Wild on the Wii U compared to the Switch. I'll be picking up the Wii U version as I plan on getting a Switch around Christmas time.
I noticed that at 5:19, the English voice sounds exactly like Leon Bronev and Newton Belduke from the Professor Layton series. Does anyone else notice it?
Wow, this looks like a decent update. Seems like they've actually listened to the fans/critics and made some improvements. Now let's see if they're any good.
All the other ads sucked, so I'm not too surprised. There were only a couple watchable ones besides the Pokemon one. I wonder if their $5 Million they put into the spot was worth it.
I'm 99% certain it will be a port of the Wii U version. There's no way they've had time to develop a new one, regardless of the fact that it'd be plain stupid to start anew on a game that came out recently (and isn't done until Feb. with DLC).
Eh. I don't know about this, it wasn't that great. It's fine that they're pushing on their "Train On" motto, but for something around $5M dollars for the ad slot? That's a lot of money going to one OK commercial. It's not really attention-grabbing.
In my opinion, whenever the next Super Mario Bros. game gets made, I want to see something new. I'd like to see a new art style, a few new mechanics and techniques, and a blend of new enemies and old ones.
Do what Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World did - they made some massive overhauls from what their predecessors did, and it worked flawlessly.
When I had spare time in grade school, I'd draw levels in full color. I'm going to go through my old stuff and re-create some of the levels I made a long while ago.
Oh, I can't wait until this game releases... I'm going to enjoy this a ton.
Man, I sure love the DKC series. In all honesty, I like it a little better than the 2D Mario games. Tropical Freeze is one of the best platformers of all time.
I agree. I don't believe the NX will be released before Holiday 2016. It seems they're going to unveil it at E3 2016... so a summer 2016 release sounds ridiculous.
And before more people comment about Zelda Wii U getting moved to the NX, please don't. There is a reason why the game's current name is Zelda WII U. The game is being made specifically for the Wii U's gamepad and hardware. Why on earth would they spend all the extra time to port the game to a brand new console?! The two versions of the game would compete with itself, thus driving their sales down!

Re: LEGO Fortnite Is Under Fire For Brand New 'Kits'
If those prices were for real legos, that'd be a steal... but virtual legos?! Come on.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Like To See A Professor Layton Collection On Switch?
Wait... there was a full-on trailer released back in March? I missed that?! Huh. I guess I missed the NintendoLife article and nobody I follow on Youtube covered it. Gotta go watch that now!
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon X & Y - The Series' Greatest Paradoxes
Yeah, X/Y was a mess in retrospect and a pretty big step back from Gen 5. I prefer Sun/Moon far more.
Though the PSS has yet to be topped.
Re: Feature: The 10 Best Ace Attorney Cases, Ranked
@BenAV
I did the same thing, those two are among my least favorite.

Re: The Lead Role for the Detective Pikachu Movie Has Been Cast

Re: Random: Pokémon Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over Pikachu Talking
@Exy This movie is still in the works, as far as I know. So I guess talking Pikachus are going to become the norm.
Re: Reggie Explains the Reasoning Behind the New 2DS XL
Calling the New 3DS a cadillac is hilarious!

Re: Video: Usain Bolt Brings Olympian Power in Latest Pokémon Sun and Moon Trailers
Well, I'd never thought I'd see Usain Bolt as a Team Skull member...
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Releasing New Super Mario Bros. On The Nvidia Shield In China
If you're going to try out a brand new market, why not try it with one of your best selling games of all time?
Re: Video: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Localised Voice Acting is Pretty Darn Varied
I noticed that at 5:19, the English voice sounds exactly like Leon Bronev and Newton Belduke from the Professor Layton series. Does anyone else notice it?
Re: Pokémon Uranium is the Latest Ambitious Fan-Made Game to Run The Gauntlet
It's a very solid game. I've watched a playthrough of it and it is a quality game. Go ahead and play it if you're a Pokemon fan.
Nintendo, you better not shut this down. I would be ticked off if they did.
Re: Niantic Issues a New Pokémon GO Update
Wow, this looks like a decent update. Seems like they've actually listened to the fans/critics and made some improvements. Now let's see if they're any good.
Re: Video: Maya Fey Stars in New Trailer for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice
@TeeJay Yes, this is the localization of the trailer that premiered a few months ago.
Re: Video: Maya Fey Stars in New Trailer for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice
@ziffy She's 27 years old, even though she doesn't look like it. It's been 8 years between Trials & Tribulations and Spirit of Justice.
Re: First Impressions: Going Under the Gavel With Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice
It's good to see that the pun department is doing well.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Favourite Pokémon Games - 20th Anniversary Edition
I agree, X and Y then HG and SS should be paired. There are very few differences between the two.
Re: Feature: Reflections on 20 Years of Pokemon
I started with Pokemon Ruby and I never stopped since.
Re: Review: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (Wii U eShop / GBA)
Trying to recruit every single Pokemon in this game is a nightmare of a task. Thankfully, it's much easier in Super Mystery Dungeon.
This was a very solid game and it lead to an even better sequel series - Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky.
Re: Talking Point: Pokémon and Mega Man Show Us Extremes of Nostalgia's Value
I dunno, I think $10 is fair. $30 is a bit much to get them all, but I think most people will only need to get one.
Re: Pokémon Company CEO Reveals Pokémon GO Rollout Details, Teases Another "Big" Project
Yay, more Pokemon Z speculation! It's definitely going to happen and I do believe they're talking about the X/Y sequel.
Unless they're doing a sequel to Pokemon Snap for the Wii U... that would be pretty great.
Re: Video: PBS Game/Show Aims to Break Down the Design Genius of Super Mario
Good stuff. Explains why I love Mario Maker.
Re: Pokémon "Train On" Ad Was The Most Popular Super Bowl Commercial, According To YouTube
All the other ads sucked, so I'm not too surprised. There were only a couple watchable ones besides the Pokemon one. I wonder if their $5 Million they put into the spot was worth it.
Re: Feature: Looking Back at the New 3DS Launch, Nintendo's Perfect Valentine's Day Gift
I have a standard 3DS in fine condition and I see no reason to upgrade.
Re: Playtonic Games Reveals New Character and David Wise Track for Yooka-Laylee
More David Wise goodness! Man, I just love all his tracks... this might tempt me to get this game.
Re: Rumour: Super Smash Bros. Planned as NX Launch Title, Bandai Namco Working on "Several" Games
I'm 99% certain it will be a port of the Wii U version. There's no way they've had time to develop a new one, regardless of the fact that it'd be plain stupid to start anew on a game that came out recently (and isn't done until Feb. with DLC).
Re: Video: Watch The Epic Pokémon Super Bowl Commercial Right Here
Eh. I don't know about this, it wasn't that great. It's fine that they're pushing on their "Train On" motto, but for something around $5M dollars for the ad slot? That's a lot of money going to one OK commercial. It's not really attention-grabbing.
Re: The Official Legend of Zelda Timeline Has Been Updated
I don't think a timeline is necessary, but the fans like it, so whatever.
Re: Video: See What Pops Does While You're Away in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon
The random cut to Buizel made no sense... but it was solid overall. The font was noticeably added afterwards, as mentioned above.
Re: Video: The Cape Escape is the Next Super Mario Maker Challenge from Panga
My goodness. I don't think I'd even attempt this with save states. Mind = blown!
Re: The Princess Daisy Costume is Finally Coming to Super Mario Maker
All you people complained, so here! Now stop complaining!
Re: Book Review: The 200 Best Video Games Of All Time
Advance Wars in the top 200? I'm surprised, but I'm not complaining.
Re: Video: Rare Shows Off Footage of Dream, The Banjo-Kazooie Predecessor That Never Saw Release
Wow, that's some cool stuff there.
The SNES version of that scrapped game looked better than the 64 version... it was as if graphics were sacrificed in the jump from 2D to 3D games.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Confirmed for The Game Awards as Gerudo Valley Music Remix Arrives
I like how they just announced him as "Reggie" with no last name. I guess everyone knows him.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Challenge With Super Mario's 2D Future
In my opinion, whenever the next Super Mario Bros. game gets made, I want to see something new. I'd like to see a new art style, a few new mechanics and techniques, and a blend of new enemies and old ones.
Do what Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World did - they made some massive overhauls from what their predecessors did, and it worked flawlessly.

@AVahne
The world championships were held in Boston...
Re: Potential Massacre Averted At Pokémon World Championships
Wow. This is scary. There are evil people in this world... I'm glad to see that they never got a chance to use those guns. Yikes.
Re: Mario Memories: The Creative Joy of Childhood and Super Mario Maker as a Modern-Day Roll of Paper
When I had spare time in grade school, I'd draw levels in full color. I'm going to go through my old stuff and re-create some of the levels I made a long while ago.
Oh, I can't wait until this game releases... I'm going to enjoy this a ton.
Re: Video: Learn More About the Experimental Rayman 4 That Got Dropped in Favour of Raving Rabbids
Hey, C'mon, guys... the first two raving rabbids games were fun, and while not masterpieces, they were fun party games.
Everything afterwards has been mediocre and worse. Now they're just as bad as the minions,
Re: Nintendo Wins Patent Case Against Handhelds
Hey! Isn't that Calvin?
Re: Review: Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (Wii U eShop / GBA)
This is a very underrated game. Pick it up if you have the time! It'll be worth it.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
I thought this was a Facebook hoax at first. Alas, it's not.
RIP, Iwata.
Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time (Wii U eShop / DS)
Just because the game is the worst of the franchise doesn't mean it's a bad game or anything. It's still a good game that's worth playing.
Re: Pokkén Tournament Is Being Considered For A Release In The West
Pokken Tournament for Wii U coming out in 2016, I'd guess!
Re: Video: Prepare Your Creative Appetite with these Top Five Things to Make in Super Mario Maker
I can't wait... ugh... at least there will be something to look forward to when school starts!
Re: Video: Here's a Brief, and Entertaining, History of Donkey Kong
Man, I sure love the DKC series. In all honesty, I like it a little better than the 2D Mario games. Tropical Freeze is one of the best platformers of all time.
Re: Talking Point: The Pros, Cons and Questionable Likelihood of a Nintendo NX Release in Summer 2016

This was one of the few things I liked about the Digital Event.
