@OorWullie As great as Rayman 2 is its been released on so many different platforms I cant see it getting updated again, maybe I'll be proven wrong though
This really could have been interesting. Personally I loved Star Fox Assault, but then again I really enjoyed Zero as well so perhaps I'm crazy Fingers crossed this series one day finds success again
Anyone know if the Nintendo Selects branding appears on the eshop versions of the games, as in with the menu icons, start up screens, etc. Just curious
@Gerbwmu @rjejr You don't actually have to beat levels in single player before trying them in co op, you just have to start the level up, exit, then select the level again and the co op option will be there
I love how they used the bell sound effect for the MM ones! Always liked the pokemart music so might have to get the pikachu one too if it becomes available in the UK
@IxC Why be disappointed? They can only put in so many characters before release, Sakurai himself has said that. With DLC post release we could get all the characters who missed the cut. It's likely that it would be free as well. Isn't that a good thing? :S
As others have stated this just looks like gym wear. Her generally body shape does also make sense considering all the things she has to do. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is how large her chest is. That's blatant sexualization there. You could also argue Captain Falcon or Ike are sexualized though so who cares? Sexualization is part of our society after all. Not even Nintendo is free of it
@Daisaku36 That article was so unbelievably wrong its just funny to think about ^^; July's sales have not been counted yet but 8 has probably already tripled Polygon's estimated 1.2 million sales
Uh guys, nowhere does Sakurai say that Lucina is a better choice than Chrom, where is that idea coming from? Neither were going to be in as their own characters as neither was unique enough from a gameplay perspective. He said that Lucina was going to be an alternate costume for Marth, but he ended up giving her a few unique gameplay characteristics thus her becoming a 'clone' instead
I love the Rayman games and would enjoy playing as him, but his trophy expression and hand gestures make it look as if he's thinking "Aw man, looks like I'm not playable in Smash. What gives?" Not that it confirms or deconfirms anything of course. No one can predict Sakurai
Woah those 3DS discounts...if only Nintendo would do the same with some of their older titles. I wouldn't mind having a digital copy of Star Fox 64 on the go
Really enjoyed Punch-Out!! Wii and the original so I'm definitely going to try Super. At least we get 3 virtual console games this week, even if one of them looks like garbage.
Definitely. Never played the original, but everyone I know who has played it found it to be one of the best games of the generation. It'd be like not buying the Wind Waker remake after never having played the Gamecube original.
That Metroid Fushion video gives me shivers...can't wait to play again. Looking forward to playing Golden Sun, Advance Wars and F-Zero Maximum Velocity for the first time too~
So glad all these great games are coming in the first month, but I must admit I didn't think Game Boy Advance titles would be more expensive than SNES ones. Weren't games that were ported from SNES to the Advance (Donkey Kong Country, Yoshi's Island, etc) supposed to be slightly inferior?

Re: Troll and I To Bring Mythical Adventures To Switch In Spring
Definitely interested in this, especially if its been developed by Spiral House, haven't played anything of theirs since Silver on PC/Dreamcast!
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Voting Event Crowns Its Champions
Mostly good choices overall. I'm glad Micaiah made the top 10, though would have liked to get more Radiant Dawn characters in there

Re: Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition to Include Touch Controls for Portable Play on Switch
The Murphy challenges on the Wii U version were a lot of fun with the touch controls, maybe this will be definitive version after all!

Re: An Entirely Unbiased and Inoffensive View on Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson
This video makes a good point, there is no such thing as what the title describes. Had to laugh when Alex started playing Tetris XD
Re: Mega64 Lent Nintendo A Helping Hand With Its E3 2015 Announcement Video
I'd like to see Nintendo collaborate with Robot Chicken for the Digital Event again, that was great last time!
Re: Weirdness: Super Meat Boy Is Calling For Your Votes In The Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot
I doubt any indie game characters will appear in Smash, but even if one or two got in I'm certain neither of them would be this guy.
Re: Poll: Vote For Your Ten Must-Play Games On Nintendo 3DS
Voted for 9 in the poll and my 10th vote goes to Kingdom Hearts 3D

Re: Miyamoto Talks Up Star Fox Wii U's "Fun And Unique" Dual-Screen Control Mechanics
Assault was my favourite so I really hope the game's story isn't too shallow, although I'm sure it will be a fun game regardless. Fingers crossed!
Re: Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Enjoy Biggest UK Pokémon Launch Ever
@Boxmonkey @FragRed Wii U owners are few and far between here in the UK, but they do exist. Somehow I know 5 of them.
Re: The Keep
I'd also appreciate a review, got my eyes on this one!

Re: Nintendo Download: 14th August (Europe)
ZombiU and Rayman Legends are must buys at those prices! I'm seriously considering getting digital copies as well
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th August (Europe)
@datamonkey Nice find, I've never seen it in its box before. Have you read the back of the box? Captain Falcon: "Real men don't use brakes!" XD

Re: Star Fox Stage Revealed for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U
Assault is my favourite game from the series so I'm happy to see it being represented. Hopefully we get a load of tracks from Assault to go with it =)

Re: The Nintendo 64 is Now 18 Years Old in Japan
My first home console. Played Mario Kart 64 on it just before 8's release...still a blast to play all these years later.
