@Yorumi No, of course not. The REAL problem is Trump, right? Shouldn't we blame everything on him even if it doesn't make sense to?

@NIN10DOXD Yeah, but he did make good points.

@River3636 What's the rest of the percentage , then? I'm not being snarky, I'm really curious.

@Yorumi someone gets it!

@Emperor-Palpsy this. Completely agree.

@River3636 I was agreeing with you. I still think that mental health is the main problem.

@River3636 I agree with you. I think there needs to be new regulation. Mental health, however, is more to blame than the NRA or video games. I don't know about the teachers having guns though. I would rather there be armed security with metal detectors to be honest.

@Capt_N I agree. Why punish law-abiding citizens? It should be criminals or anyone with a mental health problem.

@NIN10DOXD Guns should definitely be regulated and I would even want the legal age to own one be raised to maybe 25. However, just because there's laws in place, it sadly doesn't mean it will stop all future shootings. The next thing they could do is illegalize guns, which I am STRONGLY against. Also mental health is not an excuse. It's what cause shootings like this. It's what causes someone want to harm or kill somebody. It also seems hypocritical to blame the NRA and guns but not video games.

@Vriess That's what I think. Mental health is the problem, not guns, cars, movies, or video games.

@NIN10DOXD It's true that they should, you're right, but just because there's laws, that doesn't stop drunk drivers or underage drinking or abusive people. And I don't think the NRA promotes killing.

@WiiHawk I'm not blaming games at all. I will say someone did kill his friends because the Patriots lost. Now like I said, video games and sports are not the problem. People who are already violent are the ones that cause problems.

@NIN10DOXD So the people who are law-abiding citizens and part of the NRA are to blame? And you're calling them terrorists? I guess the liquor companies and alcohol drinkers are terrorists too cause of drunk drivers, car crashes, or when a terrorist plows a crowd of people with a truck.

@Mario500 People I know act differently because the games they play. They'll get so upset about losing a game that they actually get depressed. I've even witness one of my friends throwing his controller against a wall. Now, it doesn't mean they're permanently mad, but that isn't the way you should react in a video game.

I will say though. I've seen and played M games that I think a young kid could play, but I would NEVER let a young kid play a game like the newest Mortal Kombat or COD or DOOM or Wolfenstein. Kids don't need such violence when they're young.

@Mario500 So you've never seen a kid get upset losing in a video game or start acting meaner? I've seen it with friends and friends' kids. I'm not implying it's making them into killers, but I do think it can cause changes in behavior. Not always but sometimes. And why should a kid as young as ten be playing Mortal Kombat or COD?

Great. Nintendo Life now has to report about this. I can tell there's going to be comments ranging from "Trump is dumb! Video Games don't cause violence!" to "Video Games desensitize kids!". Seriously....... While it's true that M games should not be played by children and can cause behavioral changes, video games are not the cause of shootings. And neither are guns. It's mental health that's truly the problem. People with a history of mental health should NOT be able to get a gun whatsoever. Also if you think a video game is making your child act out, take it away. I know everyone loves to blame the President or guns or NRA, but let me ask you this: do you blame cars for car crashes, terrorist attacks, or drunk drivers? Do you blame knives when someone gets stabbed?

What was so wrong with Club Nintendo? At least you could get a game cheaper than this new system. And you could get accessories and posters! Man, I miss it so much.......

@Dom You win points for the Fake Plastic Trees reference

I love how this is an article about a game, and yet people are talking about Radiohead. Good to see the people here have great music taste!

Speed-runs just got more............interesting 😏

But....but that rumor PROMISED that it was coming to the Switch!!

In all honesty, I only have Soul Calibur 2 on GameCube and while it’s a good game, I probably won’t get SC6. But who knows. Maybe if the game is really good or it comes to the Switch I’ll get it. If no Switch, then definitely PS4 (but only if it’s good).

This has been such a great year for video games!!! Not only did Nintendo have a FANTASTIC year, there were also great PC and PS4 games as well. Gotta say, the past 5 years have brought some amazing games.

My top games this year:
Zelda
Cuphead
Fire Emblem Echoes and Heroes
Sonic Mania
A Hat in Time
Nier: Automata
Mario
Splatoon 2
ARMS
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
Metroid

ALL TOO GOOD!

Also can’t wait to buy Street Fighter 2 for the FIFTH time!

Yes, Capcom, yes. This is good.

So, so glad PUBG didn't win. Although Mario and Persona 5 definitely deserved the award as well, I'm happy BOTW end up scooping it. It was worth staying up late to watch it win.

Also the Sony and PUBG fanbois are going nuts lol.

What is it with panchinko machines? Are they even good investments? Cause it sure doesn’t look like it.

We better be getting one by the end of this year.

Can’t tell what I’m more impatient for: Mother 3 localized or “Mother” 4 being released.....

I feel like there's supposed to be a message somewhere.............or maybe I'm just crazy.

Cool............I guess?

Pretty much my reaction as well. I had as similar reaction the other day because my dad found an old SNES in a donation bin (at where he works; he didn't steal it lol) and it had Super Mario All-Stars and Super Metroid!

@Grumblevolcano You have to keep looking. I got POR in AMAZING condition for $28 at a Goodwill.

Still don't get how Nintendo made such a great mobile game.

Fates gets too much hate IMO. Yes, the main protagonist is lame (less with the female version, for some reason), yes the stories are cliched and predictable, yes a lot of the characters are boring or uninspired (looking at you, Cordelia and Tharja clones). But to be honest, the battle system was great and the character interactions made it nicer. On topic, I hope the next Echoes game will be a Blazing Blade or Genealogy/Tharica 776 remake. They remade Gaiden so good!

@PrinnyLink Yeah, I'm hoping Gregor will announced too!

I was OBSESSED with this game during the first 4 weeks. Now i play it every once-in-a-while. It's still a good game, but I do wish there was a little more content. That being said, this game is LIGHTYEARS better than Pokémon GO. Nintendo really outdid themselves with this.

Might not have been the best game, but with so much potential and the earnest work that was put into it, it has a special place in my heart. Gotta love Warren's attitude. Review scores don't matter; the fact he enjoyed making it is.

Didn't know mobile could handle those kind of graphics.......

Finally, I can play Star Fox 2 and Final Fantasy III (actually VI)!!!!!

@faint No, I did. I was just being a little sarcastic.

And that's why we have region-free!

@faint She's in PR? Had no idea. If that's the case, then she's doing her job right.

@Menchi187 Well, someone has to show her ridiculousness.

But.....but.. Laura Kate Dale said Beyond Good and Evil 2 WAS going to be announced yesterday as a Switch exclusive!!!!

Honestly though, who takes her word seriously? Remember Mother 3?

To me, this wasn't Nintendo's best E3. The worst? HECK NO. This is definitely one of the better ones in years, for sure. If Smash 4 for Switch, F-Zero, and VC were announced, then yes, this would have been the best E3. That being said I'm pretty happy about what was announced.

@PlywoodStick Ain't that the truth?

But where's muh Beyond Good and Evil 2, exclusively on the Switch? Laura Kate Dale knew for SURE it was going to be announced!

For real though, that Metroid Prime 4 reveal gives me so much hope for the Switch!

Oh yeah, it's a Switch exclusive cause Laura Kate Dale said so. Of course! Can't wait for Nintendo to (not) talk about it tomorrow!

To me I think the Switch will definitely surpass Wii U numbers (not really a prediction at this point), but not Wii numbers. I'd say it'll get very close to the Wii, but not quite.

Thirty-minutes of new games like F-Zero, Metroid, Pikmin 4, Animal Crossing? That would sound about right. But knowing Nintendo, that ain't happening.
