Eeehhh...
I wouldn't put Splatoon over Super Mario Maker and I sure as hell wouldn't say it the game of the year for Nintendo. And even if I still haven't played Xenoblade X yet (I'm actually downloading it right now though) I know it's at least better than Yoshi Wooly World. And there is no way Majora's Mask 3D, a remake that barely adds anything besides making the game a bit more streamline, is the best 3DS game of the year and MH4U isn't.

I remember buying this game on Steam and absolutely loving it. I guess it's time for me to rebuy it.

Even though I'm suppose to be completely Twilight Princess right now instead of fiddling around on the Internet I'm planning on playing Earthbound for the remainder of this December. It is a game I always end up replaying again during this sweet time of year.

@Mr_Rawky I like a game of 4 players against each other but I'll be lying if say I prefered it over 1v1s with no items and battlefield. Just my ever so useless 2 cents.

How the hell did I die on the Pokemon Kalos League stage? As soon as I respawned, I died for no reason.

I can really do without the lag in all the matches.

I'll try to not miss the tourney. I'll be on the look out for my Cloud, Shulk, and Pit even though I'm kinda rusty after getting back into Project M and not playing Smash 4 for about a month.

If the English release doesn't at least have the E-Reader levels that we got I'll be insanely salty. Not only are they hard to find, but they are difficult to emulate too.

I can read the text just fine if I have my glasses on. I really don't see the problem.

@EngieBengie Since when was Smash ever about the single player content? Oh yeah, Brawl, and you know how that turned out. I'm glad that the series is focusing morw on gameplay instead of putting all of the budget on single player content that you won't bother with after the first week of you getting the game. It the same reason why people play Melee and Project M to this very day. Gameplay, balance, and character diversity is the 3 main fundamentals of Super Smash Bros, not single player crap. It makes me glad that Sakurai rushed the single player content and focus back on gameplay like many competitive fans wanted. To put it in a metaphor, there is no reason to add lots of extra toppings to an already absolutely delicious ice cream cone with a bit of sprinkles. (Inb4 someone comes screaming at me for acting like I hate Brawl, I still like the game. I just think the game should have focus more on multiplayer than single player stuff like subspace)

@Zelkardaim You may want to censor that F bomb buddy even though it's kinda hard to throw one when FREAKING BAYONETTA IS IN SMASH! I don't even care about Snake not making it this time, Bayonetta alone heals all of that butthurt and then some!

Still rooting for my Project M and Brawl main Snake. The codec conversation will always be better than the Palutena's guidance!

@ikki5 Mostly because I heard people saying it wasn't as big as a new character or stage. hen I say I don't want to be spoiled when it comes to leaks it means I don't want to be spoiled over big things. This is rather harmless

Nope, nope, nope, nope. Not spoiling myself this time. We already had enough of this crap and I don't want another famous character like Ryu get leaked again.

It makes my blood boil out of pure freaking rage from Nintendo being so freaking inconfident that the point where they don't even try to advertise a freaking system seller that potentially save their mess of a console.

XCX, literally no contest at all. The only thing that compares to it is MH4U and Stella Glow. Super Mario Maker doesn't deserve it because even though I like the game there are hundreds of SMB Engines like SMBX has much more content. Splatoon doesn't deserve it because the game online is so damn limited even after the "Splatoon 2.0" update. I still enjoy both games, but there're underwhelming compared to a game as big as XCX. This list also reminds me of how crappy this year it been for Nintendo and Nintendo fans. The indie section is full of games like Freedom Planet, Don't Starve, and many others being out since 2013 and the Wii U is just now getting them nearly 3 years afterwards.

@redivgamer90 How the hell do you know the character personallities and story already? Do you somehow have a DeLorean time machine somewhere that can send you anywhere in time and space? If you tell me just "just because of how they look," then you're statement loses all worth.

Eh. Even though I don't have any bias towards western or eastern styles, I still say that Link look too inhuman and elf like. Sure Link was an elf in OoT, but he didn't look like he came straight out of Santa's workshop when he grew up. He looked like a normal eastern styled human. And most of all since when was Link's shield a piece of paper of mass destruction.

To avoided arguing, releasing all types of rage into this comment section, and writing the equivalent of a 3 page article even though I literally expected nothing out of this announcement, I'll just say that nobody in their right mind should buy the abomination of an "big announcement" and just buy the cheaper and most active PC version.

@AVahne I'm putting my money on potatoes too. At least you can make fries with potatoes I guess...

This was the mod that actually got be back into Smash in the first place. It all just seen so sudden too; I can't be sad enough to see it go forever now esspecially when it was evolving into more than Brawl with Melee physics. I guess I'll just play a few matches of turbo mode, probably one of my favorite thing the Project M team did and wish Sakurai would add to Smash 4.

I thinks it look like a really good western adaptation of Link although I think he could look a bit younger.

This is going to be the longest 96 hours of my life. I can not bare the wait for this game.

I've been keeping track of this project for a week or so. I can not wait to actually get my hands on this texture pack, gameplay changes included. After being dissapointed with Nintendo remaster of my favorite Zelda game, I need to play this. Congrats to Tomoya for out doing Nintendo.
@Tsurii
Considering they planning on making the AI smarter, make bosses and the game in generalharder, some things less tedious like changing into Wolf Link, going through the trouble of re adding the magic meter, adding even more new features like adding a new mode to Wolf Link where he is stronger but take more damage and the spinner being useful in battle, and small stuff like a Boss Rush and a costume system like in Tri Force heroes, I pretty sure they care a lot more about gameplay than must people who make HD texture packs. And I'm sure they're doing more than adding "generic filters". Most notable they're making the game use more than 6 colors.

@Andremario Not him, but not really. You can get the story just fine without playing the previous games and the first game hasn't aged well at all. You can play the second game, but it kinda on the short side.

@Pokefanmum82 How are you quoting?

@PlywoodStick If you ever go try out the Xenosaga series, I'll advise you to skip Xenosaga 2 completely and just look up a plot summary on the Internet. It's the only remotely bad game in the Xeno franchise and it just not fun.

The sales are terrible and just shows how cheap NoA is. They could have at least put Hyrule Warriors for sale without the DLC.

@bennyt Buy the Wii version. It is much better than the 3DS version control wise and graphics wise.

I knew this game would be the worst Mario Tennis game to date. With the sudden announcement in E3, lack of information, and Nintendo pushing out rushed game after rushed game this year for Christmas, all signs point towards it being crap. It is truly sad when Power Tennis, a game that came out years ago for the Gamecube, has more replay value and overall content than this. I guess I'll just play that in to get my Mario Tennis fill for the year...

@Splatburst No actually. I'll say it something the Wii U can run just fine. All it those is make it look actually polish and good instead of slightly more detailed. None of the Twilight Princess HD fan projects are too much for the Wii U to handle, especially since the Wii doesn't have to double the work by basically emulating the Gamecube while running the game since the game would be only made for the Wii U. Stop using that utterly crappy excuse.

@kyuubikid213 I don't get why you say Twilight Princess is "last gen" because it's not last gen at all. It's a Gamecube game that had an inferior port on the Wii (at least inferior to the eyes of left handed people like me) that sold more. That last gen excuse is not accurate at all. Not only that but they could have at least changed to textures to look a lot less dull and flat like in Wind Waker HD. Speaking of Wind Waker HD, this whole remaster look like a step down from it. Wind Waker HD changed not only the models, but the items, lighting, and added a new collectables. Twilight Princess HD locks content behind amiibo that should be in the game, changes no of the models making some of them look like crap in HD, keep the dull colors of Twilight Princess making the game look even more plastic at times, doesn't even try to change the lighting that could improve the game's visuals by a mile, and look like a remastered that would have came out for the PS3 3 years ago.

I was really hoping for a sell on Hyrule Warriors, Tropical Freeze, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, some games that I've been planning to get on sale.

@The_Ninja There is no PS3 emulator because the PS3 is pretty hard to program on let alone make a emulator for and the Xbox 260 although not as complex as the PS3 is still an complex system. It's not a matter of power, if it was then there would be a PS4 and Xbone emulator running at full speed by now. It's a matter of the system "language". Emulators have to translate the system language have to translate it to PC language to make it simple. That's why there is no completely accurate N64/Saturn emulator even though my toaster from 2004 can run N64/Saturn games just fine. Both of those system have very poor documentation so the emulator can't "translate" it very accurately. In short, it's nobody fault for a Wii U emulator processing at a amazing rate and the power of the console have nothing to do with emulation.

Emulators doesn't always lead to piracy. It is completely legal for a person to make an emulator for a console even if it current gen and backup and play their games on their PC. Nintendo even hint at that on their site. Of course it is completely undoubtable that people will end up pirating a game or two because they never been a emulator that hasn't had a single user pirate something on it, but that still doesn't mean everybody will do the same. Also, what is so bad about preserving games in the first place? Some games cost literally thousands of dollars to get (See: Metal Gear Soild GBC) and some are completely lost in time, never to get played again.

To end my ramblings about "emulation bad" topic and get back to what I was originally going to say, I'm pretty impress that it can run Shovel Knight at a somewhat playable speed at this point. Hopefully it keeps this rate and maybe get to see a very alpha gamepad emulation.

Just review the good version already. The ports are nothing special and the Wii version is the one that shines the most.

As a person that usually not in favor of censorship esspecially when it it tampering with the creators envisions, I'm really don't care about this even though I play as a girl in a lot of games. Out of all of the things you can do when creating a female avatar, it's what I really care the least about because most of the time I stick with the default size or just make her completely flat chested. Most women I know do the same thing too even if they have a large chest size. Still I think it's wrong for NoA to do this considering you should be able to customize your character in anyway you like, but I still could care less if they censored it. Now if they end up censoring the story, removing religious reference, changing the characters personalities in anyway, or cutting a mission in the game during localization then me and the Treehouse are going to have a huge problem.

@WaveGhoul How was Twilight Princess HD a positive? I mean not only has it been outclassed by literally every fanmade Twilight Princess HD project which is completely pathetic, didn't even try to give Twilight Princess better lighting like Wind Waker HD, but it also being developed by triple A company that has plenty of resources.

Well if this wasn't on my radar already, it's definitely is up there with Xenoblade Chronicles X and Yokai Watch of games that instead of wanting I absolutely need to pick up. I'm glad and sad Imageepoch left off on such a great note even though I haven't played many of their games. It always sad when a company final game is a "Final Fantasy" in the literal sense and it just leaves you feeling a little bit sad after beating it.

If I was one of those Minecraft clone developers I would be worry about my game getting taken down from the E-Shop

I really loved the demo and the story it introduced, so I'll definitely pick this game up sooner or later. I've been itching for a tactical RPG for this past year anyway.

@mjc0961 What the hell makes you think they are trying to compete with Fallout 4? I mean really? The games was made for two completely types of people, have completely opposite genres, completely opposite style of gameplay, ect. I man just sit down and think for a second before you comment.

Congrats to The Nintendo Life staff and NIntendo Life as a whole! Hwre's to another 10 years on Nintendo!

This was the generation that got me into the Pokemon craze and I always thought had the best Pokémon design and world design (although Black and White changed my opinion on that a bit). The gen 3 may have its problems, but its one of my most nostalgic games because I never played anything like it before. It was a breathe of fresh air after being a Sega fan for so long and I was blown away by its music, art, and basically everything.

@hYdeks My thoughts exactly, but I have seen more women have PC than men though.

Or in other words, "We won't make any games for your system if it's not a Wii 2.0."

Can't name another man that deserves it more than him. Even though I disagreed with a lot of Iwata's decisions, I still respect him even after death.

@KTT I always preferred Mega Mewtwo X design over the Y design. I hate how the Y design make Mewtwo turn into a Pokémon version of Super Buu just a 100 times worst design wise. Mega Mewtwo X likes Like a real upgrade of Mewtwo since he actually resembles Mewtwo outside of the color scheme.

@KingofSaiyans I
It's just a mobile game though. They don't take up much development time and Nintendo said they would keep making full triple A experiences. I don't recall the Wii being hated by anyone really, it still had a good amount of great 1st and 3rd party games and I consider it to be the PS2 of last gen.

I really don't get how people are booing this and saying it's a terrible idea. I'll have to agree with @skywake , this sounds like it could be very profitable in the end. This game is very, very obviously isn't directed toward your day to day gamer, but casuals instead. Casuals (speaking from experience) absolutely love these types of virtual avatar, social media apps. Tomdachi Life sold around 2 million copies alone and it's a 30 dollar game if also directed to casuals. Now imagine this game basically being a mobile version of Tomdachi Life with the equivalent of Streetpass, online communication (for example, visiting your friends Mii's House through online), and free-to-play, this can't be failure. The new Nintendo president knows what he is doing, he predicted the Wii U failure for heavens sake. There is so many good opportunities Nintendo can take with this one.

How in the name of hell is that even remotely a good suggestion? That is not even romotely Bond like at all and completely out of place.
