Hmm. I'm still not quite grasping the relative size of the BotW cart. Could you compare it to a few more items? How about the space shuttle, a truck, a shopping cart, an apple, a credit card, a human hair, and single unit cell of diamond.
@dsparil Everyone has their own standard of when a nauseating lecture is warranted. Nintendo copying something that someone copied from them doesn't quite reach that level for me. But it is funny that in a way that they've done something they tell me not to do.
The story is certainly amusing, but doesn't really delegitimize nintendo's stance on emulation. This guy managed to take a funny story and turn into a nauseating lecture.
I'm stoked. I should receive my beta unit any day now. It didn't totally make sense to me why they would need my bank account info in order to send me the device, but whatever. I'll be playing Mario Switch any day now!
I asked the lady at the front desk of NoA HQ about this rumor and she told me it was a closed campus and that I had to leave immediately. It really felt like they were to hide something. I took it as confirmation.
Don't try to make the metroid universe light hearted. I don't need anything cute (etecoons and dachoras notwithstanding) or silly in this universe. I have a dozen Nintendo franchises that are silly, light hearted, and whimsical. I have one Nintendo franchise where I might see the mangled corpses of slain scientists in the intro and where the main character goes through hell and terror and kicks serious butt.
Above all else Nintendo safeguards its unique right to disappoint its fans. I doubt they would allow others to disappoint us through leaks. I think these are fake and that Nintendo will disappoint us in unforeseeable ways at e3.
This would be a brilliant move. Port Smash 4 to NX and improve the online multiplayer. Sell it at a discount to those that already own it for Wiiu or 3ds.
New FZero game: Captain Falcon's friend repairs broken race cars from Falcon's races. All the intense excitement of the FZero universe in the form of auto repair.
Pretty much the only way I can see this going: new 3d mario reveal, new 3d metroid and new 2d metroid reveal, snes on 3ds vc, some other filler material (amiibo, games already announced, mobile stuff).
I haven't given up on the WiiU. I already own it and I have fun playing the games. But there will be much less buzz and far fewer sales in the holiday season without Zelda.
I suspect that a lot of the people buying these kinds of games for their kids are simply remnants of a generation that is just unfamiliar with games as they weren't very pervasive while they were growing up. I think most parents that grew up with video games will simply be more aware of content in various types of games and will be less likely to buy their child a completely inappropriate game. Maybe we'll see some decline in this kind of thing as video game savvy generations have children.
Then there are parents that just don't care. They will always be around.
Probably few or none of us think children should be playing these games. Why do any of us love to see graphic and ultra gory depictions of brutal violence? I don't think these kinds of things are a cause of violence, but I wonder why so many of us like it.
This isn't news. I couldn't fathom the Zelda game being ready in 2015. They pull out all the stops for Zelda when it comes to quality. These games always take a long time to get to market. Now with the additional development time for a giant HD world there was never much of a chance that it would come out this year. An announcement that the game would be delayed past 2015 was a certainty. I am excited to see this game in 2016 or 2017. It will probably be a masterpiece.
Samus rocks! Best female character in gaming IMO. Also, I think Zelda in any of her OoT, Twilight Princess, or Skyward Sword incarnations would have been better than tetra (though I love tetra).
I'm sad to report that I just didn't enjoy majoras mask 3d as much as I hoped I would. It was an improvement over the original, but I think I really missed the more care free feel of other Zelda games. Nevertheless, I love reading Aonuma's comments about the inspiration and development of the game. Even though it is not a favorite of mine I'm glad so many people really love the game. Variety is a good thing.
I think Nintendo is a bit misguided here. They certainly have every right to take this position, but I believe it does them more harm than good. This will generate more ill will than revenue for Nintendo.

What is right and what is wrong? What is the standard?

I'm more interested in the red super sharp carpet
Re: Switch Won't Suffer From Early Hardware Shortages, Says Nintendo UK Boss
I'm sure Nintendo is going to make every effort to get a switch in the hands of all 17 Nintendo enthusiasts in the UK.

I'm looking forward to this game.
Re: The Castlevania Netflix Series Will Be Based on Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Uggh "as r-rated as f***". It sounds like it's being made by a couple 16 year olds.
Re: Video: New Extended Nintendo Switch Trailer Showcases Launch Window
Its nice that the actors held their other hand flat below the joycon during the bottle shaking one just to make it look a little less hand-jobby
Re: Nintendo Switch Developer Options Menu Appears In Unedited Portuguese Commercial
Waterproof joycons confirmed?

Re: Nintendo Switch and VR/AR developer Talks Up the 'Evolution' The System Will Bring
@Spoony_Tech Metroid Prime in VR would be my favorite thing ever. Oh man...
Re: Nintendo on the Naming of the Nintendo Switch
The name is better than the last 3 consoles. NX was still a better name, but we all know this could have been a lot worse
Re: No, There Isn't A Nintendo Switch Beta Program
I'm stoked. I should receive my beta unit any day now. It didn't totally make sense to me why they would need my bank account info in order to send me the device, but whatever. I'll be playing Mario Switch any day now!

Re: Talking Point: Considering the Angles of a Portable and Dynamic Nintendo NX
This thing better have a resistive touch screen. A particularly unresponsive resistive touch screen.
Re: Random: Australian Man Sacked For Moaning That Pokémon GO Isn't Available In Singapore
Singapore authorities use caning. It is very effective.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Will Have amiibo Support
Don't try to make the metroid universe light hearted. I don't need anything cute (etecoons and dachoras notwithstanding) or silly in this universe. I have a dozen Nintendo franchises that are silly, light hearted, and whimsical. I have one Nintendo franchise where I might see the mangled corpses of slain scientists in the intro and where the main character goes through hell and terror and kicks serious butt.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Will Have amiibo Support
Highly divisive? Pretty much everyone hates or is just isn't very interested. Bless those kind few souls who are excited for it.
Re: Feature: Our Favourite Nintendo E3 Moments
Best E3 moment is that guy playing the drums with the wii remote and nunchuck
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo NX Controller Images Surface and Set the Web Alight
@rishisquid I couldn't agree more. Surely someone at Nintendo has played a smart phone game with no buttons and realized how crappy it is.

Re: Review: Super Metroid (New 3DS / SNES)
Super Metroid on handheld is pretty much the only reason I bought the new 3ds. Can't wait for it to drop in NA.
Re: Rumour: Super Smash Bros. Planned as NX Launch Title, Bandai Namco Working on "Several" Games
This would be a brilliant move. Port Smash 4 to NX and improve the online multiplayer. Sell it at a discount to those that already own it for Wiiu or 3ds.
Re: Gallery: Have a Gawk at The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD's Boxart
I enjoyed the tears of light sections. I really liked the pacing of this game right up until the city in the sky dungeon.
Re: Weirdness: Here's What An All-Human Star Fox Team Looks Like
That Slippy Frog has a lot of nerve showing his face around these parts. He nearly single-handedly ruined the whole Star Fox franchise.

Re: Nintendo Highlights Increased US Hardware Sales for Wii U and 3DS in 2015
The wiiu is a commercial failure but for me personally it's been great.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect from Nintendo Direct - 1st April
Pretty much the only way I can see this going: new 3d mario reveal, new 3d metroid and new 2d metroid reveal, snes on 3ds vc, some other filler material (amiibo, games already announced, mobile stuff).
Re: Talking Point: It's Too Early to Write Off the Wii U Over The Legend of Zelda's Delay
I haven't given up on the WiiU. I already own it and I have fun playing the games. But there will be much less buzz and far fewer sales in the holiday season without Zelda.
Re: Head Teachers in the UK Issue Warning to Parents on 18-Rated Games Being Played by Children
I suspect that a lot of the people buying these kinds of games for their kids are simply remnants of a generation that is just unfamiliar with games as they weren't very pervasive while they were growing up.

Samus rocks! Best female character in gaming IMO. Also, I think Zelda in any of her OoT, Twilight Princess, or Skyward Sword incarnations would have been better than tetra (though I love tetra).
Re: Eiji Aonuma Reveals More Information About the Development of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
I'm sad to report that I just didn't enjoy majoras mask 3d as much as I hoped I would. It was an improvement over the original, but I think I really missed the more care free feel of other Zelda games. Nevertheless, I love reading Aonuma's comments about the inspiration and development of the game. Even though it is not a favorite of mine I'm glad so many people really love the game. Variety is a good thing.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March (Europe)
I wish zero mission was on 3ds virtual console. Nevertheless, I'm very happy it's on wiiu.
Re: YouTube Stars Aren't Happy With Nintendo's Revenue-Sharing 'Creators Program'

Re: Week Three of the eShop Throwback Sale Goes Live in North America
Nintendo is the only company that can get me to repeatedly buy things I already own. I'll be getting the Prime trilogy on eshop today.
Re: More Details Emerge on Xenoblade Chronicles X and Its Non-Linear World
I am very excited for this game.
Re: Talking Point: It's Time to Salute The Nintendo 3DS, Defying Early Gloom to Pass 50 Million Sales
The 3DS deserves the accolades. It is a great system with an outstanding library of games.
