Cool! So it's either digital-only...or it has 3DS-like cartridges. The NX just gets to be more and more interesting!

Not surprising, but good to get confirmation nonetheless. Also nice to see a 2016 Wii U game.

Looks like an interesting course. I'll be sure to try it out this weekend.

The lack of the prequels...it's...disheartening.

They need to make another version of these, with some of the 3D Mario games.

It feels like Nintendo has had QOL behind them for some time.

Seems like something that would happen in America, not the UK.

@MitchVogel I agree. Hopefully they'll do something like they're doing with Splatoon. A few new items every now and then. It's gotta happen.

Thought that was a joke at first. I'm with @pikminfan22. I'm just going with the good peeps.

If only I had enough money for this. Used it all on a Hogwarts Collection box set. Darn.

I'm sure it'll be worth the wait though!

Probably just my biased self talking but I can barely tell the difference, except that the PS4's flashlight does pretty much nothing.

I love this game! It may sound like a reach but it's actually my all time favorite. Only reason people hate it is because it's too much like Galaxy 1.

Just wait. People will now jump to conclusions that this is for a Tingle amiibo made for Smash.

I really want Nintendo Directs to continue but this sort of awkward pause is a bit troubling to me. We'll just have to wait and see.

Kinda disappointed about the gradual unlocks but HOORAY for everything else! This game's gonna be amazing!

The Mario Galaxy games are amazing, there's no doubt about that.

Cool to see the indie community getting together like this. The actual Runbow characters may as well be obsolete at this point.

I'll still just play as the Inklings. Nice to have some more variety though.

And now they might just be saying THIS so that Wii U owners won't worry. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Haven't tried the Slosher yet but I really like the Heavy Splatling and I love Splatfests. Yesterday's was my first.

Crossing my fingers that this is true. Don't feel like getting 2 (or 3) games.

Happy birthday Sakurai-San! Keep lookin' young!

What the heck?! That's pretty uncalled for. I guess Konami really is gonna leave the industry soon.

May actually get around to playing this again, if only for the Splatfest.

@thehappyjack Totally agree.

What a shame. Good thing I wasn't fooled into seeing it yet.

Bowser Jr. has been made even more powerful! BWA HA HA HA HA!

clears throat I mean...yay.

If we're counting marshmallows as s'mores, then I'll say marshmallows. This'll actually be my first Splatfest; haven't had time every other time.

Ubisoft being Ubisoft yet again. And that's not a good thing. First I thought it was going to be a retail game but the fact that it's download probably makes it to where even less people will buy it.

I want Return to Dream Land but I don't know I'm going to pay $20 anytime soon.

I agree with @bezerker99. Why no discounts during the first week?

Hooray for massive updates! Is there going to be a local Tourney mode like there was in Brawl though?

Don't really mind K. Rool all that much to be honest.

Nice to have some early confirmation of NX games.

@ikki5 Which is why I'd want this one more because it WOULD have the DLC music.

The Smash soundtrack was just "the essentials."

Completely agree with both the fact that it draws in many types of gamers and the bit about the remaster. Honestly, by 2016 I'd probably be burnt out on Smash but a remaster with updated graphics and NX specific features (Ice Climbers cough) would grab my attention.

It definitely would flesh out the launch library. But this begs the question: will 3DS features like Smash Run and the branching path Classic Mode be in the game? Perhaps an option to choose between Classic Modes?

Huh?! This is the thing I was wanting MOST from Club Nintendo. sigh Well, I guess this also confirms no more DLC tracks.

Well, okay then. Slightly creepy.

By the way, why didn't you guys cover all the fame the Super Mario Bros. movie was getting on YouTube? There's an Honest Trailer and a CinemaSins video for it now.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Wii U. Tropical Freeze, MK8, Smash 4, 3D World, NSMBU, LEGO City, Pikmin 3, etc. are some of my favorites on the system and I'm sure I'll continue to keep going back and playing them.

I am not one of those people that only buys Nintendo exclusives though as I bought both Batman: Arkham and both Assassin's Creed games that were available on the Wii U. It's a shame many other third-party titles weren't able to come to the Wii U but I have a feeling that was mainly because of developers being scared they weren't going to get a lot of sales as well as the Wii U not being as easy to work with as the other consoles (because they're pretty much the exact same thing with a few exclusives on each).

At this point, I'm just looking towards the future for Nintendo and by that, I mean the NX, Mario Maker, and Zelda. It does seem like the Wii U is winding down, which is a bit of a shame as I was really hoping for an HD Animal Crossing but we can't always get what we want. Nintendo's probably going to be in a bit of a changing period after Iwata's passing. I guess we should just enjoy the Wii U's (probably) last year while it lasts.

Well no one voted for Hercules and I really like that movie so I voted for him. But seriously all of these characters are going to have to make it in at some point right?

@DroothR She's one of the main characters in Disney Channel's Gravity Falls.

I didn't even know there was a level cap. Maybe they should extend it past 20. On launch day, so many people had already reached Level 10 I thought they'd been playing non-stop! (then again, they probably were)

Wow. I thought it'd at least get a 60 or 65 (or 64! ba dum tss). There goes my relatively small enthusiasm for this flick.

@rjejr You mean GameSpot?

Nice, thoughtful words by Sakurai. Good to see everyone paying their respects.

I think Takeda would be a perfect choice, with the only issue being his age. But if he's up to the task, sure go right ahead.

@XCWarrior Same.

I don't mind the new redesign but I'll have to actually use it to give my actual feelings on it.

Is it just me or are there always patents against Ninty?

@gatorboi352 I just like to keep that feeling of familiarity in there. I said a dramatic shift, not a slight shift that will improve sales and get people thinking about Nintendo.

By dramatic shift I meant, a president who wants to drop all of Nintendo's current ideas and do something like move to software only or create mainly mobile games.

I do think Nintendo is actually quite relevant for the sole reason that all the NX buzz is drawing attention to them from both 3rd parties and fans.

I hope they look for someone internally. A dramatic shift in Nintendo's workings is not what they need right now, personally.

More opportunities to find a recording on YouTube. Too many other things on my hands to be able to go to any of these.

Another reason why the NX must be at least as powerful as the PS4 in my opinion.

I wouldn't want to voice chat with random peoples anyway. I'll admit the game does look a bit more appealing to me now.

More 64 Games! More 64 Games! MORE 64 GAMES!

Wasn't going to get it anyways. Guess I still must wait until September...
