I get all my news from the web and so does everyone reading this article. this means less expenses for Nintendo and nobody had to lose their jobs. This is not a big deal.
It looks so amazing. I wish my country's events could have such a large Nintendo presence. It seems South Africa is populated with Dota 2 players and either a choice of Fifa, Need for Speed, or Call of Duty on an Xbox 360.
Yes Nintendo! That is how you do it. We where all worried the Mercedes DLC is all we getting. 525 comments already? Well I am excited and for 16 new courses that is not such a bad deal.
Zelda games have always followed a formula. When deciding the best Zelda game the story line comes into play as well. With Mario it is purely about the game play and there has been a real mix of Mario platforms with no set formula.
I think 3D is a good direction for these games. I mean Super Mario Bros 3 is an amazing game and a timeless classic but I would not say it is the best. Games like Mario Galaxy and 3D, even from Mario 64, those games are in a different league they are incredible games.
That is not entirely true. The Mario Kart 8 direct was also called a Digital event. I remember it was a lot flashier. They were testing the waters with it before E3. Anyone else remember that?
After making the mistake of buying my farm thinking it would be a nice casual sim I vowed to never buy a download game without first reading a Nintendolife review. I agree with this article it should be categorized.
@Guybrush20X6 What??? Capcom is potentially being bought out because the shareholders did not accept the proposed buyout prevention plan at their AGM. As far as I know they are not in any financial trouble and they did not abandon the 3DS?
@unrandomsam That depends on who you are asking. Knight's was a good game for its time but it has aged badly. Only fans of the first game would enjoy a nostalgic replay. I my opinion many of the NES games are timeless classics that comes from a time when gaming culture was completely different.
@Alucard83 Hardware power has never been the issue. Generation after Generation the system with the best offering comes out on top. gameboy colour won when the Game Gear was more powerful, playstation 2 won when xbox was more powerful, DS won when the psp was more powerful, wii won when the ps3 was more powerful. 3DS is winning when the vita is more powerful.
@JaxonH I have to say. I disagree. Although I love my wiiu and the first party games, I can't afford a PS4 so I was hoping that the wiiu will at least get all the PS3/xbox 360 games in 2013 and 2014. I bought it back in December 2012 when EA and Ubisoft still pledged their undying loyalty to Nintendo. O well.
online gambling...They are really reliving the glory days. Remember when Atari was known for its world class casino games back in the day? You go Atari, reclaim that glory...wait what?!
realistically my financial situation I would only be able to buy 2 or three more games this year. Can we have a moment of silence for me please. So here goes.
1) Hyrule warriors 2) Super Smash Bros 3) Watchdogs
It was a really good digital event. It made the announcements entertaining it was amazing! Splatoon was a big surprise and and Amiibo looks fascinating!
But...
Can't deny that some things were missing. Like the DS virtual console information announced months ago, and that Quality of life platform is still a big mystery.
@Aviator What do you mean? If a game is not a must have NOW kind of game then why not wait? Plus I read some reviews and they do say that although it is a great game the hacking is not as dynamic and revolutionary as the trailers made is seem.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Slams the Competition Yet Again, 3DS Sales Drop

Yeah and where was Sony and Microsoft when they approached other developers? I bet they did try. So hey well done Nintendo
Re: Nexis Games is Developing U Craft, a Minecraft Clone, for the eShop
I say bring it on since Mojang is being such a jerk about Minecraft. It even frikkin ported it to the PS Vita of all things but not the 3DS at least.

Re: Talking Point: Mario Kart 8's Diverse DLC Sets Up Endless Potential for the Franchise
And with MK8 becoming compatible with Amiibo, it really is turning into a platform. It is great to see. Link Amiibo, coincidence? I think not.

Re: Yet More Hyrule Warriors Details Coming This Week
I want to see some miiverse integration or more details on different modes.
Re: Yet More Hyrule Warriors Details Coming This Week
@CrazyOtto I agree they could have release all these details at once in a digital event but maybe it has not been working as well as we think.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Continues to Evolve Its Hype Machine
That is not entirely true. The Mario Kart 8 direct was also called a Digital event. I remember it was a lot flashier. They were testing the waters with it before E3. Anyone else remember that?

Re: Review: My Arctic Farm (Wii U eShop)
This is like the fourth my farm this year. Instead of swapping out the locations why don't they spend their time making a decent farm sim.

Re: Review: Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (Wii U)
@MegaScizor It will never make game of the year in anybody's books. There will not be a game of the year version.

Re: Reaction: Our Thoughts on Nintendo's Big Day at E3
It was a really good digital event. It made the announcements entertaining it was amazing! Splatoon was a big surprise and and Amiibo looks fascinating!
But...
Can't deny that some things were missing. Like the DS virtual console information announced months ago, and that Quality of life platform is still a big mystery.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From Nintendo at E3 2014
Thses predictions are very solid and logical. I think it is going to be exciting. Those release date games better come with new gameplay trailers
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From Nintendo at E3 2014
What about a Dragon Quest x or even Monster Hunter Frontier G western release?
