@IceEarthGuard I've noticed it's been on sale in the US a couple of times, that's part of the reason why I'm confused why it's never been on sale in Europe.
You're right, my comments are a total contradiction and out of line. Nintendo Life does not deserve to be disrespected in such a manner. My apologies.
I guess I'm just really disappointed with the reviews for Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash as it appears that Nintendo has blatantly rushed the game out (to fill in for the lack of Star Fox and Zelda... obviously!) and put no effort whatsoever into making it the best game it can potential be.
And I really hope that Nintendo isn't putting any pressure on Nintendo Life to delay their review score for the sake of an additional star or two.
I really don't mean to question the integrity of this website. Nintendo Life is a great site and even though it is solely a Nintendo-based I have always believed that the staff don't allow their love for Nintendo to cloud their judgements.
Unfortunately though, there's a darkside to video game reviews and advertising/sponsorship with is difficult to ignore...
I can't help but be a liiitttttttllle bit suspect about this review delay considering the amount of Ultra Smash advertising on/around/in/throughout the site.
@Gaz Plant Top article! Games do indeed sell consoles, but I still feel that the Wii U needs a Wii Sports-style killer app. Wii Sports 2 HD Online. Do it, Nintendo!

Re: Nintendo Goes Discount Crazy With More Than 600 Games Now On Sale In Europe
And still no Celeste!
I'm starting to think that they might be waiting to coincide a discount with its one-year anniversary.
Re: Nintendo Download: Festive Offers (Europe)
Seriously. Still no Celeste discount?!
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd November (Europe)
It's disappointing that Celeste isn't on offer.
Re: Video: Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka Show Off Super Mario Maker
Surprised/disappointed that they didn't share the course code.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th September (Europe)
Don't forget the free Shovel Knight Plague of Shadows DLC!
Re: Community Interview: Give Us Your Affordable Space Adventures Questions for KnapNok Games and Nifflas
Was it difficult to set a price for the game considering that 'affordable' is in the title?
Re: Ultimate NES Remix Coming To 3DS This November
This has to be a totally new 3DS version and not just a port of the Wii U games. Surely?

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th July (Europe)
And still no Shovel Knight. So lame!
Re: Wii Sports Club Takes The Competition Online With HD Visuals And Wii MotionPlus Support
Wii Sports Club is a great idea!
Now Nintendo needs to do Wii Sports U, which takes full advantage of all the GamePad's capabilities.

Re: Team Meat: We'd Work With Nintendo If Meat Boy Made It Into Smash Bros.
Super Meat Boy needs to be on the Wii U eShop.

Do you plan on showcasing the winning entries on the site?
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th April 2012 (North America)
Isn't Super Street Fighter II published by Capcom, not SEGA?
Re: Heroes of Ruin Alchitect Trailer is 3DS Gold
Nice one, but this trailer came out nearly a week ago.
