We're hoping to do some cool stuff with the online community for Ghosts. Stay tuned. Follow me on Twitter and add my NNID - both on my Nintendo Life user profile.
Just to chime in and echo the general sentiment here. I understand why Nintendo feel the need to cover themselves, but I think this is a fairly stupid move. It's very much chucking the baby out with the bath water.
This is only further proof that Nintendo need a proper account system for 3DS. That way, they could just ban the offenders.
Just to address the comments - OK, maybe calling the Star Fox characters simple model swaps was exaggerating a tad. But you must admit, they were all extremely similar, and, in my opinion, not justified in taking up three slots on the roster.
@electrolite77 We are working on a review of DE:HR. It's kind of hard to post the review in a timely manner when you get the review copy on the day of release.
This game is made by one guy. Brian has said a few times that he wouldn't bother supporting the CPP if he didn't have to, but he feels reviewers would dock points from the score. I don't blame him.
Maybe the fact that it was several months late, twice as expensive, and 50 times harder to find than the 360/PS3 versions might have something to do with it.
@allav866 "Super Metroid was $49.99 on the Super Nintendo, and Nintendo enhanced the game with Miiverse and off-screen play, so there is no reason to whine about the price, be it $50 or $60!"
@KAHN My point was that the Wii U should have got an OoT remake INSTEAD of the 3DS. So, it wouldn't be 'another' remake, because the 3DS one would never have existed, if you catch my drift.
I am actually open to the idea of doing a 'proper' Let's Play of this if the demand's there. But, before you make your decision, just ask yourself - what have I ever done to you?
We might be a Nintendo site, but we're not under any obligation to only post positive impressions. That would be ridiculous; we're reviewers, not marketing execs.
If you know you're going to enjoy this game, then why does it affect you if Anthony didn't?

Re: Nintendo Addresses Confusion Surrounding Wii U's Name In Latest TV Commercial
HOT, BUTTERED POPCORN - THAT'S A DEAL!
Re: Performance of Batman: Arkham Origins Wii U Version Compares Unfavourably to 360 and PS3
I think a lot of this - especially things like texture streaming - is down to the fact that you can't install games to the hard-drive on Wii U.
Re: Review: Batman: Arkham Origins (Wii U)
Ugh, review scores.
Re: Weirdness: Shigeru Miyamoto Meets Mario in Real Life
This is absolutely ancient!
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)
The embargo lifted at 6pm, and I've already counted nine perfect scores. Crazy!
Re: Get Tactical With Nintendo Pocket Football Club on the 3DS eShop Next Year
I'm assuming there aren't any licensed teams. If there were, I'd snap this up. As it stands, I'll probably just pick up FM14 for Vita.

Re: Review: Wii Sports Club: Tennis (Wii U eShop)
@Achoo Nope, the controls are definitely a bit crap. It's weird because the controls in Wii Sports Resort Table Tennis were absolutely brilliant.
Re: SNES Generation Album Merges 16-Bit Sounds With Modern Game Music, and is Awesome
Oh my, this must be fattening.
Re: Video: This Is Why CoD: Ghosts Is Best on Wii U
@Traxx I see what you're saying; a Wii Remote-only playlist would be great.
Re: Video: This Is Why CoD: Ghosts Is Best on Wii U
@ColdingLight Gimmick?
Re: Video: This IronFall Tech Demo is Rather Impressive
Very impressive from a technical standpoint. That engine was written 100% in assembly language. Crazy.
The part where the chimney collapses is very impressive. Looks like an OG Xbox game, perhaps even better in some regards.
Re: The Nintendo 2DS Was The UK's Best-Selling Console Last Week
@supermario4ever Unfortunately not. We reached out to MCV's Christopher Dring for comment:
"I can’t give exact sales figures yet. But maybe soon."
Re: Weirdness: This Real-life Majora's Mask Is Incredible
@Sir_Anthony "My precious," etc.

I am suing.

Re: These Wii U Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Screenshots Look Very Pretty Indeed

Re: News: These Wii U Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Screenshots Look Very Pretty Indeed
@Falchion Well caught, matey!
Re: News: These Wii U Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Screenshots Look Very Pretty Indeed
@dumedum It had appalling pop-in, texture loading issues, and an extremely choppy framerate. Not to mention the Surround Sound hitches.
Re: Male Wii Fit Trainer Revealed as Latest Smash Bros. Challenger
"we're going to stick our neck on the line and say he's almost certainly going to act as a 'costume swap' for the female Wii Fit Trainer."

Re: Retro City Rampage to Utilise Circle Pad Pro
This game is made by one guy. Brian has said a few times that he wouldn't bother supporting the CPP if he didn't have to, but he feels reviewers would dock points from the score. I don't blame him.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Nineteen
Tom, everyone is aware of the world famous, football-league-founding, first-time-double-winners Preston North End. Literally nobody was confused.
Re: Readers Of EDGE Consider Ocarina Of Time And Mario 64 To Be The Best Games Of The Last 20 Years
ICO should be #1.
Re: Wii U Isn't Getting Need For Speed: Rivals Thanks To Low Sales Of Most Wanted
Maybe the fact that it was several months late, twice as expensive, and 50 times harder to find than the 360/PS3 versions might have something to do with it.
Re: Events: Nintendo Life at Play Expo 2013
Gutted I couldn't make it. Sounds like you had a good time anyway, boys!
Re: First Screenshot Of 3DS Title IronFall Emerges, And It Looks Very Pretty
COP The Recruit wasn't a great game, but it was extremely impressive on a technical level. Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh.
Re: Video: Proof That Mario Kart 8 Can Only Be Enriched By The Addition Of F1-Style Commentary
@SirMime Hey, you're not meant to know that!
Re: Video: A Punboxing of The Wind Waker HD Collector's Edition
@ScroogeMcLz I can confirm that I am in fact British. English, to be precise. Prestonian, to be unnecessarily precise.
Re: Soapbox: Why Grand Theft Auto V Isn't For Me
Wind Waker is my favourite game of all time. I'm currently rushing home to play GTAV.
Re: Nintendo To Host Nintendo Life StreetPass Zone At Eurogamer Expo 2013
@C-Olimar It's like, 2 hours direct from Preston! Must be, what, 90 minutes from Manchester! Irrelevant now as it's sold out, but still.
Re: Nintendo To Host Nintendo Life StreetPass Zone At Eurogamer Expo 2013
See you all there!
Re: Weirdness: This 1DS Spoof is Remarkably Well Done

GOD NO IT'S HAPPENING NOOOOOOOO
Re: Review: Disney's Planes (Wii U)
Guys, 6/10 isn't 'crappy'. Can we please stop with that?
Re: Weirdness: Two Kids Debate The Legend of Zelda
You frickin' fricks.

Re: Soapbox: Why We Should Expect More From The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
@Zombie_Barioth - thank you so much for that first paragraph.
Re: Soapbox: Why We Should Expect More From The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
@SanderEvans - 'a fully-fledged remake'.
Re: Soapbox: Why We Should Expect More From The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
@KAHN My point was that the Wii U should have got an OoT remake INSTEAD of the 3DS. So, it wouldn't be 'another' remake, because the 3DS one would never have existed, if you catch my drift.
Re: Soapbox: Why We Should Expect More From The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
@GearsOfWarU You should almost certainly buy it. Same goes for anyone else who's never played it before. It's an incredible game.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifteen
I abstained this weekend because, yes, I'm still playing New Leaf and The Last of Us.
Re: Nintendo "Pedaling" The Wii U On Tour De France TV Coverage
I came here to congratulate you on that fantastic pun work, Damien. Really top-drawer stuff.
Re: Feature: A Glimpse Into Nintendo Life's Animal Crossing: New Leaf Adventures - Part Two
I can't believe how seriously unconscious I am right now!

I am actually open to the idea of doing a 'proper' Let's Play of this if the demand's there. But, before you make your decision, just ask yourself - what have I ever done to you?
Re: Developer Interview: Richard Perrin Talks About Journal and Nintendo's Approach to Indies
You guys 'missed it' because it still hasn't been formally announced. I guess you could call this interview an 'exclusive scoop'
Re: First Impressions: Sonic Lost World
This was my biggest surprise at the showcase. I wasn't expecting much, but I came away really impressed.
Re: Exclusive: Tengami Confirmed For Wii U Release
I played this at Rezzed today. You guys should be excited.
Re: First Impressions: Bayonetta 2
This is one of those games that I'd probably love, but would die of embarrassment if one of my non-gamer friends saw me playing it.

Can people who don't know what the word 'bias' means please stop using the word 'bias'? Thanks.
