@3MonthBeef Yves and Tsunekazu comments are not rumors though

@3MonthBeef Yeah well. Your opinion is as valid as everyone else. It is still an opinion, though. I'm well awared of how this thing work. Obviously sites needs traffic and right now talking about NX generates just that. But what I think you are failing to see is that maybe this whole rumors storm is planned or at least allowed by Nintendo. This whole thing is positive for them because it is generating an amount of hype that I think is unprecedented. A lot of people excited about a console that nobody even know what it is? Yeah I think that is good marketing. I'm not sure that this news and rumors are just a product of the evil media. I think there's an honest excitement about the console and that there is a possibility that those semi official comments from game developers are planned by Nintendo to generate hype building momentum to the reveal. But who knows? Opinions, right?
No matter how many times journalists ask this guys about the NX, they always have the options to say "No comment" But suddenly, some are choosing to comment.

A few weeks ago it looked like the reveal was close. Those comments from Ubisoft and The Pokemon Company, but then it went cold again. I'm still hoping for some information this month, but I think we probably won't get any official info about it until next year. The rest of 2016 is pretty much covered by the 2 Marios, Pokemon y NES Mini. There's too much stuff coming up the next months to also throw in an NX announcement. I really hope I'm wrong but again I think we won't heard an official reveal until the new year.

@HappyMaskedGuy I don't like IGN either most of the time, but I recently found NVC channel on youtube and the guys do a very good job actually. I can easily recommend that one.

Getting it day one

A list of 30 games is just about right for me. I don't see how I can make time to play more than 2 games per month. So with Pokemon coming in november along with the NES Mini I will have plenty to do the last 2 month. I'll probably get Shantae on steam. Gurumin got my attention. Mario Marker is a must, since I don't have a wii U and that would have to do until the NX. I still have Gotta Protector, Luigi's Mansion 2 and A Link Between World on the wishlist in case I run out of games.

@gcunit Sorry about that

@Tamalesyatole No, esos llegaron mucho después. Extrañamente era un Famicom original, todavía lo tengo, pero ya no funciona.

This is the Nintendo I remember. I have not idea how my parents managed to grab a Famicom here in latam in the 80s but this is the one I got under my christmas tree. Now I'm torn between importing this version or buying a boxy american NES.

I never bought a wii u because I only had enough for one console and decided to get a 3DS. I planned on buying one later until I heard about the NX. I hope some of these games are ported to the new console, it would be great to try them out.

@CanisWolfred "And for the record, the difference between a "derivative clone" and an "inspired homage" is not the intent, but how the audience interprets it. If you really are a developer, then I highly recommend keeping this in mind."

I respect that as your opinion, but I wouldn't be so absolutist. While the audience interpretation is important, it is up to the developer to correctly convey its intention.

I think I haven't been able to explain my whole point here. But what I'm trying to say is that we can't take something like Braid and Super Jump World and say that both are Super Mario clones. There's a different in those two games. Maybe is just semantics, but for me is important to make the different clear.

Definitely looking forward to it

@Qun_Mang Yeap, a pretty well known story and the reason why we will have three very different (and hopefully good) Wonder Boy inspired games in the coming months.

@Fuz You're right about that. I'm one of those that think about the RPG elements whenever I see the name Wonder Boy. This remake made me think more of Adventure Island. Which is also fine. Both are great games. Knowing the history behind then only help to raise the hype for me.

@ECMIM I'm not talking about that. It seems to me that you are a bit predisposed, which is understandable since this comment section is normally fill with trolls. I usually feel insulted when someone call me ridiculous, that is what I'm talking about. But if that wasn't your intention then is fine. If you find the "clone" vs "inspired by" war ridiculous that is your opinion. I as a developer find it very important. That's why I felt the need to clarify the term. No big deal, try to relax a bit.

@ECMIM It's always funny how one can not mention someone on this site without risking to get an insult. Internet I guess, people feel brave behind a screen.

I'm not assuming you said WayForward are thieves or that their games are bad. I'm just clarifying the term because people usually use the word "clone" lightly.

Graphics are great! And scream Nintendo console in my mind. Coming to this article I was like "Please be for 3DS, please be for 3DS" But I guess steam is also fine.

@ECMIM Big different between a "clone" and "inspired by"

@SanderEvers With the new slogan Nintendo is using: "There's no play like it" that has Y X A B buttons configuration you can assume they are not abandoning the console business anytime soon. Which is great. Mobile can be very popular at the moment but there's nothing like playing with a controller scheme. That is something you can't have with just a touch screen. I think it is pretty safe to assume we will be seeing new nintendo consoles for a while regarding their ventures to mobile gaming.

Well, you have to agreed that mentioning a Direct was really dumb. Come on Andrew!

Nice surprise, the name alone stick in your mind. I didn't knew what to expect from it and surely didn't expected that 9/10. Gotta keep an eye on this one.

A little disappointed that this news was even published on the site. It originates from a blatantly clickbait article, designed exclusively to insinuate without proof that the NX would be launched in December. Completely poinless.

@andrew20 I think it is safe to say we are hyped already.

It seems like all Nintendo Life have to do to make the comment section explode is said "No" to something. What a bunch of spoiled brats we have here.

I finally got Planet Robobot, so I'll be digging that one for a couple of weeks. Some good games on that list but nothing for me.

Fingers crossed this week is the calm before the storm

@LetsGoRetro I want that book. Many here would appreciate it

Question is: Why is he insisting?

"The dev has also stated that it could still bring the app to Xbox One consoles via a workaround using the Microsoft Edge browser"

Really?

This got me thinking, how is that Nintendo haven't expanded the Mario universe in this form? Imagine introducing Mario's Dad as a playable character in a new game. We almost always play as either Mario or Luigi, there so much possibilities.

Glad to see the haters are just a vocal minority. And the majority of fans are more open minded.

I thought this was a Nintendo fan page, but negativity is ruining my experience on the site. When Bethesda released Fallout Shelter I didn't see so much negativity from fans of Fallout. But "fans" of Nintendo are just weird at this point.

The footages looks fun. And it is obviously a way to put Mario in the hands of more casual gamers. Broader audience. Brand awareness and that ultimately is good news. Nintendo have been in the news for most of the year. Everytime you see Mario in a non game related website is good news for the console business. And if apart from Mario you see the Nintendo logo, that's great news. And that's exactly what it's happening now, with Pokemon Go and now this game. Two very recognizable Nintendo's IP in the news everywhere, outside dedicated gaming sites.

@Undead_terror Flappy Kirby would be rad

When that NES book was on kickstarter Nintendo intervened. Some time later they revealed that they were working on a similar book. Now they pulled down AM2R and this. Maybe, just maybe, there is something they are not telling us.

People come up with very silly arguments when it comes to justify their desire to see Nintendo games on other consoles. It must be very difficult to live with that conflict. Knowing that Nintendo makes better games and not wanting to support them as a company.

@SanderEvers Well aware of that. But it is one thing to have a Nintendo game running on a PC and another very different to have it running in a rival console.

I hope Nintendo find a way to sue the hell out of this guys. And Microsoft if they allows it.

@JamesCoote Yeap, I'm looking on that option now. Although I would like to do it myself, working with a publisher could be a good way to start. I'll follow you on twitter, we can talk about it if you like.

@AcclaimDev Wrong. Not all of us can put our content on the eShop. There are country restrictions and the cost of Nintendo's development kits are very high.

@123akis In order to sell games on the eShop you must live or at least have a bank account in an allowed country. Unfortunately, most countries in latin america are not allowed. Same thing happen with steam.

I sell assets in the Scirra Store and distribute my games through GameJolt and itch.io. Unfortunately Nintendo has certain limitations to sell in the eShop, depending on the country where you live. If were not for that, I would have several of my titles there. It seems almost unfair to see that other developers can just buy a game or assets made by someone else and sell it in the eShop without too much effort.

@SBandy I'm with you on that. And I think Milton knew this was going to happen. It is good publicity nevertheless. Now he can make an original game and people would write about it. "From the maker of AM2R" That's a good thing.

@SBandy Exactly!

@PigmaskFan I believe it is still illegal, even if the game was free.
Don't get me wrong, I know it sucks. I would love a new metroid game and this one is very well made, but it's still wrong to use assets from someone else. If I were Milton I will take the same engine and make a new game with original graphics and original story and sell it to the eshop. That would be great. Something like Thomas Happ did with Axiom Verge.

@PigmaskColonel Because it is illegal to use copyrighted material in your projects.

@Equinox Hopefully

Well that is an intelligent move from Jools. People have been asking for a Mario Maker on 3DS for a while. This could fill that gap. I'll be getting it!

@SavageGM Haha, exactly my friend. Who can debate with an angry fellow who rely on insults to support their claims?

@SavageGM Yeap, as I said, waaay too serious. I'm adding you to my 'angry people' list so I know who to avoid in the future. Have fun
