@Legromancer Truth is often unnecessary. Truth without context can be damaging.

Do you tell someone you've just met that you think they are fat and ugly if they indeed are? It is the truth, but unnecessary, and without the proper relationship or context, it is damaging.

Another negative unnecessary article on a Nintendo website.

Gee, Thanks.

@Cuddles i can say what i want to

the kids of today are disturbing to me. they look drugged and sick.

@Dormouse you aren't a nintendo fan, why post?

Societies are dumbed down by design, and this is what we get as a result:
Dogpile daily on a perceived weakness in the console business due to years and years of careful propaganda from "analysts" and game "journalists".

Nintendo has been bashed for a long time now, and they keep going.
You are clueless if you think you can determine a consoles success after 8 months.

Super Luigi U is the best DLC I've ever paid for. I'd love to see more of this from Nintendo.

@stipey Sticker Star is clever. It's also extremely fun, especially if you are going for 100% collection rate, which was addictive to pursue and attain. I wanted it to keep going on and on, but had to stop.

there are some inconsistent things in the game, but overall, it is such an awesome paper mario game that for some reason fly high over everyone's head. kinda sad.

the Mario & Luigi series is so consistent and so good. I replay them and they are still a blast. I'm so excited for this title. The only problem is that i spend all my time paying ACNL....how will i split my time between the two?....not to mention SMTIV coming next week....

@rjejr nice racist comment. if they were all another color you wouldn't have said anything, so thanks for displaying your racism for us all to witness.

I honestly think most have it wrong about the Wii U. it already is a fantastic console with a bright near future ahead. I've loved my time with the downloadable and disc based games, and will be getting a minimum of 7 more by the end of the year. Not bad for its first year at all.

What is disturbing is these developers that stick their nose up at the system, as if they are so superior because they choose to limit the consoles they provide content for. It's insanity on a large scale. Gaming culture is in a death spiral with its intended focus on DRM, no backward compatibility, charging for online, ect. ect., yet Nintendo bucks these trends and continues to deliver a fun and NEW console experience, with Miiverse, the gamepad, and Nintendo greatness in HD....

people are cynical and sad to have nintendo fly right past them. Gamers have forgotten and don't know how to have fun anymore. I know i do, and since i do, i happily play the Wii U.

Definitely a point of view that needs to be out there to balance out the argument.

I think the biggest point is that the amount of gamers that ACTUALLY would import games is so small that it truly doesn't matter. IF you really want to get certain games like that, you'll go the extra mile.

that is not to say i wouldn't like the system to be region free.

when it was obvious the 3DS was priced too high, they acted aggressively and people responded.

i sure hope they aren't just being proud right now, and don't have a plan up their sleeves with the Wii U. it needs to come down at least $50, and they should offer some great deals with it, or make a new SKU that has some more games packed-in, or something. whatever it takes.

@Hyperstar96

reading comprehension is key. i was speaking about the moment an HD console was announced by Nintendo, i was on board, because i am a fan of their software/hardware.

modern gaming culture is so far gone they don't even appreciate the basics anymore. Very little fun to be had among the online gaming sites. Just endless criticisms, Pachter lies, and dudebro hipster whining over every facet of gaming.

its old.

@Hyperstar96

???? yeah i think everyone knows that.

I had the oh snap moment immediately...
HD nintendo...YES.

Unfollow and not more nlife if you quote this troll again.

Can't believe people are actually trying to figure out this Nazi angle. What is wrong with gamers these days?
LOL

It's weird how everyone clamors for a new zelda right off the bat, when it is obvious it wouldn't be ready yet. We just got skyward sword less than 2 years ago. That means they couldn't possibly be ready for a new zelda until next holiday or the year after that.

One zelda per generation is about what is guaranteed, so its best to wait till they finish it and polish it up.

Its really simple, Nintendo. Make the 3DS library of games playable on the Wii U .

Zombi U was amazing. i loved how they used the gamepad. Make a sequel NOW.

People act like its a big deal but in truth its a small percentage that truly care and utilize a region free console. Either way they should not region lock.

I always knew the 3DS would catch on.

The Wii U, not so sure. They need to aggressively seem like they give a crap, which it seems like they don't yet. Price cut, new colors, announced games, a good marketing campaign that is actually interesting, as well as allowing 3DS games to be played on the gamepad/tv...which would instantly make tons of people happy.

oh well. be lazy i guess.

@koopakid real gamers enjoy multiple consoles, so what

Sorry nintendo, but much of gamig culture has devolved into dew dudbro and hipster mentality....not sure what i would do either....

People literally don't know your new console exists or that it even is a new console. That is a massive failure.

I appreciate them doing "their own thing", but it would be intelligent to be competitive on multiple levels just so you are perceived as such by all the dummies out there that otherwise will never take notice.

This is frightening. This is how clueless corporate d-bags are much of the time.

Can someone address how it feels to play Super Mario 3D World single player?

I can't imagine being challenged at all, and that is a frightening prospect for a 3D mario game.

with 3D Land, it was single player, so the level design was great and could challenge you. making the courses big enough for 4 people to run around in makes me worried that playing alone will be less than exciting. (although fun)

I hope people buy this. Kamiya always delivers.

Good. 100 was too short.

Region free is not important....at all.

It remains to be seen how "powerful" all the systems are and how much it matters....but really, who cares.

@Rect_Pola collect all star coins in NSMBU and you will have difficulties. All mario games offer challenge if you're going to do 100%

@theberrage get better at controlling him. that is the whole point of gaming, to learn new gameplay skills and master them and have fun. he becomes more enjoyable than mario once you get used to it.

@Chrono_Crossing ok so you're incapable of simple gaming enjoyments. go shoot some zombies in the face.

this game excels if you're going for all the star coins. then it becomes a really good challenge.

@odd69 people that have money and want to play it NOW. then we'll buy the physical disc as well because we can

They should have taken this opportunity to show Pikmin 3, not Game & Wario, which doesn't show off powerful graphics or even interesting gameplay.

jimmy doesn't play videogames.

Gamers themselves have changed as much as 3rd parties.
I continue to support the console and buy all sorts of games but i am
In the minority. New generation gamers squeal about price, complain incessantly, and take everything for granted.
I doubt most young gamers truly appreciate the hobby or realize how much
WORK it takes to make a good game.

Super Luigi U is great for a challenge as long as you go for all star coins/secret exits. This looks like something I'll pick up just to mess around with. My Wii U collection is pretty substantial and it hasn't even been a full year. After Aug-Dec its going to be looking pretty solid.

It will come next year

_{That was not necessary. Please refrain from insults — TBD}

Thanks for being captain obvious NL. The incessant negativity about nintendo is nauseating. Im sick of it. Nobody knows how to enjoy their hobby anymore. So pitiful....

I went to an event but it was too packed, forgot my 3DS for streetpass, and had to leave before my name came up. I was shocked there wasn't at least two screens. It was good to see nintendo fans out in the wild, and mario kart 8 looked great.

@Peach64 you can play mario kart and smash bros. single player.

Gamers as they are now are not recognizable to me as real gamers.
Real gamers don't hate certain consoles or genres. They embrace all types of games as long as they have quality, and you buy whatever console is out that has great games on it.

You don't choose sides like a bratty child and point the finger at gamers that choose something different than you.

Gaming media and the dew and dorito dudebrow/hipster
Are the ugly side of this culture and they need to be ignored.

Confirmed: NO Miiverse for PS4 and Xbone!!!!

Confirmed: ps4 and xbone will NOT be getting pikmin 3, TW101, zelda WW hd, DKTP, super mario 3D world, sonic lost world this holiday!!!!!!
Why? Different consoles getting different games?!? OMG stop the presses!!!

@GamerJunkie you are the one that is lost.

It's sad that "Nintendo" website promotes this professional troll. The way that you help Nintendo is by turning the cultural tide. The hatred for the brand from dorito and dew dudebro's and media-hipsters has been the biggest problem for Nintendo.

They continue to make first rate games that are more "fun" than any other games, but they are somehow expect to be ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE, whereas other consoles can do their thing and not be expected to deliver 1st party experiences of all types.

Gaming culture is now disgusting and shameful in how it treats its own creative game makers. Every hipster and dew and dorito gamer should stop thinking that because they play shooters it makes them more "mature" and to laugh at people for playing platformers with more than two colors is "cool".

Pachter can SHOVE IT.

I WISH i could "get into" Sonic fully...i've tried dozens of times. i think its because of the imprecise nature of the gameplay, or loose feel it has. Not sure.

I have enjoyed some of his titles, but overall no. I'll keep trying when Sonic Lost World comes out.

Gaming journalism is in a sad, sad state.
