I hope Disney might actually take more than a year to develop these things from now on. This yearly thing is getting kinda repetitive. (@Miiamoto I'm gonna have to agree)
Though the Angry Sun wouldn't've been on my list for top DLC, as long as we're getting some, I'm fine with it. I would rather have had the surprise not ruined though.
@XCWarrior City Folk "bombed" because it didn't have many new ideas, not because it wasn't on a handheld. I'm sure AC Wii U with new concepts would've been great.
Ignoring the fact that this is Michael Pachter and actually giving the article a fair read, I do think that eventually everyone will switch to digital downloads.
Very well written article! It feels like Nintendo's been focusing on the NX for some time now and after the release of Mario Maker, they're shifting all their resources to that side.
At least we still have Amiibo Festival as our AAA title! Yay!
I have a feeling it might be Reggie for us and Shibata for Europe. I look forward to their return! I was actually expecting one coming up but based on what they just said, I guess maybe not.
You've got to be kidding me. This just made my 0% chance of getting this game a negative 50. I can't believe Disney of all people would rip-off Nintendo.
Wait...so is Apple like, ya know, an actual competitor now since they're doing video games? And can't you just hook up a console to an Apple TV that's not whatever this thing is?
I don't think anything will save the Wii U at this point. Even if it does boost hardware sales, all signs still point to a late 2016/early 2017 release for NX so new U owners won't be satisfied for long.
It'll do excellent with the main install base though.

Re: Reminder: There's Only One More Week Left To Vote In The Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot
I voted for Popo. Everyone else is gonna vote for newcomers anyway, I may as well vote for a returning non-clone character.
Re: Video Game Voice Actors Contemplate Strike Action Over Pay and Conditions
I definitely think video game voice actors are a bit under appreciated. I love the voice work in the Assassin's Creed games for example.
Their effort needs to be recognized and not taken for granted, as the article stated.

@GreatPlayer Is that even a question? LCU by far.
Re: Angry Sun Game Files Reportedly Uncovered In Super Mario Maker
Though the Angry Sun wouldn't've been on my list for top DLC, as long as we're getting some, I'm fine with it. I would rather have had the surprise not ruined though.
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (3DS)
@XCWarrior City Folk "bombed" because it didn't have many new ideas, not because it wasn't on a handheld. I'm sure AC Wii U with new concepts would've been great.
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (3DS)
Happy Home Designer got a 7. Makes me wonder about the inevitable Amiibo Festival review.
Lookin' forward to it!
Re: This Is The Last Real Console Cycle, Proclaims Industry Analyst Michael Pachter
Ignoring the fact that this is Michael Pachter and actually giving the article a fair read, I do think that eventually everyone will switch to digital downloads.
For now, it might be a bit far off.
Re: 3D Effect Will Be Disabled When Playing Hyrule Warriors Legends On Older 3DS Hardware
Well at least now I know it'll be on the original 3DS. I wouldn't wanna play with the 3D on anyways. It gives me a headache within five minutes.
Re: Don't Count Nintendo Out, Says Former Xbox Boss Robbie Bach
I'm feeling optimistic about the NX at this point and I have to say I pretty much agree with all of this. We'll just have to see what happens.
Re: Talking Point: Star Fox Zero's Delay Could Be The Final Nail In The Wii U's Coffin
Very well written article! It feels like Nintendo's been focusing on the NX for some time now and after the release of Mario Maker, they're shifting all their resources to that side.
At least we still have Amiibo Festival as our AAA title! Yay!
Re: Miyamoto: Star Fox Zero Has Been Delayed, "I Am Very Sorry"
Oh my...that's unexpected. Well, I guess as long as there's a good reason for it.
Re: Super Mario Maker Tops The Charts In Japan, Causes Wii U Sales To Double
Wow! Great news! I can't say I'm surprised Mario Maker is doing this well!
Re: Nintendo Direct Broadcasts Will Continue Despite Iwata's Passing
I have a feeling it might be Reggie for us and Shibata for Europe. I look forward to their return! I was actually expecting one coming up but based on what they just said, I guess maybe not.
Re: Nintendo Is Merging Its Prized EAD And SPD Teams Into A Single Group
I wonder if games will be made faster now...But it's nice to see some change going on at Nintendo.
Re: Super Mario Maker Makes its Way to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS
I was kinda hoping it'd be free but it's a cool stage nonetheless. I'll have to check it out, if I even have any money on the eShop.
Re: Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima to Stick With Smart Device and IP Plans, Previously Predicted Wii U Troubles
Just a tip to you guys: Mario Maker stage in Smash confirmed.
Re: Guide: Unlocking Building Items And More In Super Mario Maker v1.01
It's weird because on the title screen, it said I had 1.01 but it still gave me the 9-day time limit.
I had to time travel! I couldn't stand waiting 9 days for everything!
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Named As New Nintendo President
Never heard of him before but apparently, he's very experienced so I think he'll do fine. Hopefully a Nintendo Direct's coming soon now.
Re: Disney Infinity 3.0's Toy Box Mode Offers Blatant Splatoon Clone
You've got to be kidding me. This just made my 0% chance of getting this game a negative 50. I can't believe Disney of all people would rip-off Nintendo.
Re: Google Produces a Pretty Super Mario Anniversary Infographic
@rjejr Yes.
Happy 30th Anniversary Mario!
Re: Super Mario Maker Patch Speeds Up Tool Delivery
Awesome! There goes pretty much my only issue with the game thus far! 4:00 tomorrow can't come soon enough!
Re: Interview: Yosuke Oshino On The Origins And Evolution Of Super Mario Maker
I can't wait to play it! Gonna have to wait till after school tomorrow though. Ugh.
Re: Weirdness: The Bizarre Truth of Bowser Jr.'s Mother, According to Shigeru Miyamoto
Nooooooooo! I'm still saying SMB3 happened! But I guess I'll have to accept it sometime or another...
Why does everyone want to know Jr.'s mom? Let's keep it a secret.
Re: Super Mario Maker DLC Confirmed, Famitsu's Mascot Necky The Fox Coming Soon
Wow, I thought this article was a joke at first. Glad it's not though!
Mario 2 is as far as I know, the only style missing unless you want to count Land and World 2.
Re: Apple Just Announced Its Own Wii, Almost A Decade After Nintendo
Wait...so is Apple like, ya know, an actual competitor now since they're doing video games? And can't you just hook up a console to an Apple TV that's not whatever this thing is?
Re: Toon Link Will Reportedly Be Playable in Hyrule Warriors Legends
I'd like there to be more characters from portable Zelda games than just Wind Waker. And also more Majora's Mask characters like Happy Mask Salesman.
@Noelemahc Me and you both.
Re: Updated Mario Kart 8 Wii U Hardware Bundle in North America Includes Both DLC Packs
Man, I guess that might mean no more DLC. It was fun while it lasted.
Re: Video: Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka Tackle Michel Ancel's PAC-Mario Stage in Super Mario Maker
I don't know why it's so fun to watch developers play levels from their own games...but it is! Can't wait till release! 😄
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Wants to Produce Another Super Mario Galaxy, But is Waiting for the Right Opportunity
I'd love a Mario Galaxy 3 but a 3D game in the STYLE of it would be better. I think it's best 3D World be the last of its kind.
Re: Pikmin 4 is "Very Close to Completion", Though Its Platform is Unclear
Hopefully it's an NX game and that it's actually a launch title this time. Can't wait to see what it's like! 😊
Re: Gallery: Mario - A History of Power-Ups, Fashion and Wardrobe Missteps
I still miss the good ol' Cloud Flower and Boo Mushroom. sigh
@JJtheTexan Thank you! Finally someone that agrees with me. Ugh, I hate the Blue Shell.
Re: Nintendo of America Makes Young Boy's Dream Come True as He Meets Reggie Fils-Aime
This is what sets Nintendo apart from other companies---acts like this.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Super Mario Platformer? - 30th Anniversary Edition
MARIO GALAXY 2 FTW! It's my favorite game of all time!
3D World is a close second. I'm not voting for something just 'cause nostalgia.
Re: Rumour: Mega Man Is Starring In A Mega Movie Thanks To The Help Of 20th Century Fox
Shouldn't a game be first on their to-do list? I'm sure if Capcom is involved then it may be good.
Re: Review: Super Mario Maker (Wii U)
It's a good thing I pre-ordered this because it looks like it'll easily be one of the top 3 Wii U games! 😄
Re: Review: Devil's Third (Wii U)
All right, not surprising.
Re: GAME Confirms Shovel Knight amiibo
Wow! That's awesome! I wonder if the unlockable content is Shovel Knight himself.
Re: Minecraft: Story Mode is Heading to Wii U
@tysonfury Let's hope so! Imagine what they could do with the GamePad in this game!
Re: Rumour: Fresh Sources Suggest Shovel Knight Is Indeed Digging His Way To Super Smash Bros.
@Grumblevolcano Agreed. Mario Maker's the only great game I can think of on the horizon.
I'd love to see Shovel Knight in Smash but I'm also interested to see who the other DLC characters will be.
Re: Review: Devil's Third (Wii U)
Based on your first impressions, I'm not expecting a good score. Decent, maybe but definitely not good.
Re: FAST Racing NEO Developer Shin’en Multimedia Would Love To Stick With Nintendo Hardware In The Future
Cool. More supporters of Nintendo hardware is always a good thing.
Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up
Nice to see everyone gets to play the NSMBU and NSLU pack. I got that with my Wii U.
@Captain_Gonru We all wish.
Re: Nintendo of America Opts for 'Real World' Super Mario Maker TV Campaign
Notice how they say 11th of September as opposed to September 11th. Smart move. I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't looking for it.
Also, I love the CGI on this trailer. Why no Mario show or film with that stuff?
Re: Splatoon and Super Smash Bros. Lead a Lonely Fight for Nintendo in the UK Charts
@Daemonite Oh yeah, good point.
Re: Splatoon and Super Smash Bros. Lead a Lonely Fight for Nintendo in the UK Charts
LEGO Jurassic World over Arkham Knight? Wow, that's odd.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Super Mario Maker Console Bundle and Key Release Dates for North America and Europe
Nice to get some release dates. It looks like Star Fox Zero really is "the game" for fall/winter 2015. I'm not completely sold on it though.
I'm sure Mario Maker will keep me busy for a while anyway.
Re: Potential Massacre Averted At Pokémon World Championships
@SneakyStyle You JUST NOW lost hope for humanity?
@tsukipon Well, they just look for any excuse to instantly bash things so it's by no means surprising.
Society these days.
Re: Talking Point: Pokkén Tournament May Not Be a Wii U Saviour, But It Can Provide a Welcome Boost
I don't think anything will save the Wii U at this point. Even if it does boost hardware sales, all signs still point to a late 2016/early 2017 release for NX so new U owners won't be satisfied for long.
It'll do excellent with the main install base though.
Re: Poll: Is Pokkén Tournament The Wii U Release You've Been Waiting For?
Not really that into Pokémon but I could be persuaded to buy it if they have a Direct focused on it or something like I was with Tomodachi Life.
Re: Nintendo Continues to Consider the Prospects of the Movie Industry
If Nintendo actually helps (unlike the Mario movie shivers) then it could be good. A Majora's Mask CGI or Mario CGI could be interesting.
