It's one thing to be inspired by Super Metroid. It's another to be a clone of Super Metroid. This game is so close to being Super Metroid, it kind of looses it's own identity right away. Not interested. I'll keep my money for something a bit more original.
I can imagine Audrey (Aminka) jumping ALL OVER this. She was IN LOVE with Animal Crossing. I'd imagine her enthusiasm would follow her to her new employment and Nintendo. Personally, being hopelessly addicted to Animal Crossing myself, I can't blame her.

Don't worry Capcom, you already have my money for Ace Attorney and Duck Tales. But if you want more than that, you'll have to start making games people actually want again. Like a Resident Evil that isn't an action movie dressed up as a video game... or God forbid... anything with Mega Man in the title.
And also the fact that Mega Man appears to just be a dude wearing tights and not a robot... Or that he seems to have skin... Or seems to have broken his right ankle...
Ever since I heard of it, I've thought it was a pointless device and pirate haven. It'll never have a feasible business model because no one with any kind of technical know-how will ever buy a legit game on it. Financially, unless they are making bank on the hardware itself, it's doomed.
I'm sorry to say this, but Nintendo probably has almost the least influence on slave labor. If the local government where the atrocities happen doesn't take action, no corporation can enforce anything. It is the government's job to protect its people and enforce labor laws, not companies. At their base, all companies are rightfully out to make a profit. That makes them a fundamentally inappropriate avenue to address labor problems. Even the best intentioned companies can only work within the law.
@HeatBombastic I don't agree that TF2 did this figure fantastically. I don't believe any game sold in piecemeal is fantastic. Give me a good game (a WHOLE good game) for a fair price.
So that's what was blinking on my 3DSXL this morning! I didn't have time to meet Iwata-san at my gate, but I'll let him in when I get home! (As a side note, as I was reading the title to this article, I was terrified they were going to use the word "penetrate")
I know this knight is named for his literal color, but I don't know why I can't shake the racial connotations of the name! All well. I'll just call him Dark Knight.
@JaivfromONM You are my kind of person with Ace Attorney 5 at the top of your list! Personally, I'm not all that hyped on Watch Dogs yet. Not sure why. Maybe E3 will win me over.
@SilentHunter382 WindWaker was a cartoon style, the person stabbed was the last boss at the very end of the game, and not a drop of blood was spilt. I agree that Zelda games are violent in ways, but not gratuitous violence.
I've seen better, even from IGN.COM's April Fools joke a few years back. This just didn't feel right. I mean, arrows through people's heads? Graphically depicted, no less? That's not Zelda.
I heard that at the time it was released, Gunpei Yokoi begged superiors not to release the Virtual Boy yet because they didn't have the technology for a better display with more than one color and they hadn't worked out all the kinks. But he was overridden and the system went into the wild. Essentially, the Virtual Boy was a premature birth and didn't make it too long. I think the system was WAY underrated for the time in which it was released and if it was given a year or two more could have matured into a great platform.

I wouldn't put it past the store that cons you out of used games for pennies on the dollar.

It's laughable this guy talks about new ideas for Contra when he nearly destroyed Castlevania with a bad God of War clone.

Re: SEGA Reveals Jump in Profits in Q2 Results
I've always been a Nintendo fan, but a healthy SEGA helps to make a healthy gaming market. (Although I secretly scheme of a Nintendo buy-out)
Re: Weirdness: This First-Person Sonic the Hedgehog Video is Rather Impressive
This seems more like a technical demo or a college project than a game concept, really.
Re: Feature: EarthBound Captivates Miiverse
@GN004Nadleeh Actually, all you have to do to talk or interact is press the left shoulder button. It does the default action.
Re: Video: This New Pikmin 3 Trailer Goes For Realism, Sort Of
Minus the CG Graphics, doesn't this commercial remind you of the old 80's video game commercials?
Re: Ubisoft CEO Admits ZombiU Sales Were Disappointing, No Plans For Sequel
That's extremely disappointing. I'd really hate to see such a good idea fail.
Re: The Pokémon Company Lays Down The Law On Cheaters
Never good to cheat. Never good to pirate. Never good to steal. Always good to see fair play.
Re: Weirdness: The Mystery of the Mega Man 2 Box Art Pistol is Explained
@Nobodys_Angel Mega Man still doesn't look like a robot, but it's a FAR more accurate portrayal!

If they bothered to put in English voice work, it would have been an instant buy for me.

I want Whole games at a fair price. Any game that is sold piecemeal will not get my money. Ever.

Re: Iwata: Nintendo Searching For A "Different Expression" To Describe The GamePad's Experience
@bezerker99 I agree. People have to know the Wii U EXISTS before we worry about gameplay.

Re: Steel Diver Will Be Nintendo's First Free-To-Play Game
Free-To-Play is a blight on gaming. I'd rather Nintendo avoid it at all cost. What the flip are demos for?
Re: Reggie: This Holiday Season Is Going To Be Extremely Strong For Wii U

Re: EA Will "Jump Back In" If Wii U Becomes A "Viable Platform"
So platforms that are in zero homes are more "viable" than a console in millions? Welcome to EA logic.
Re: Weirdness: The Wacky World of Nintendo at E3 2013
Miyamoto is by far the shining light that guides Nintendo. With his child-like play, you know that he is in the right career. A playful genius.
