I would DEFINITELY buy the Famicom and Gamecube ones. Possibly Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 as well.

@KokoriLegend
It runs MUCH better on PC. I have it on Steam and Wii U, and the framerate issues on Wii U really kill the flow whereas it's a much smoother and therefore more enjoyable game on Steam. I still think 9 is a bit high for the Steam version, but I'd give 7 or 7.5 on Steam and 5 on PC.

Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? Not at all. I never get rid of hardware anyway, so no skin off my back here.

It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine when people post reviews for products that haven't even released yet. You literally cannot review something you've never seen.

Framerate will always top graphical prowess in my book. 30 fps is fine as long as it's COMPLETELY stable, but by 2017, 60 fps really ought to be the standard IMO.

I backed it on Kickstarter, and I had written it off as one of those projects that will steal my money and never come to fruition. I'm glad to see that's not the case, and I'm eagerly awaiting the finished product because I think this game sounds fantastic.

The first rule of Nintendo NX - you don't talk about Nintendo NX.

@Tuulenpoika
I agree. I mean, to a certain extent, the desire for information is like Spock said - "Sometimes the having is not so pleasing a thing as the wanting. It is no logical, but it is often true." I think Nintendo is getting a bit extreme with this information drought, but I can't say that my hunger for information doesn't grow with each day I'm denied any.

How did this even get a 3/10? This looks like straight up 1 material.

Good thing it's called NETflix since the Internet doesn't use optical media. Does Netflix even do discs anymore? I literally have never met anyone who's used Netflix DVD mailing service in the last five years.

Flash cards are infinitely better than discs. I'd still prefer real cartridges, but I know those are never ever coming back, so I'll take the cards with a grin. It's still WAY better than discs, even if it's not everything my nostalgia-fueled collector habit wants.

I'll also echo the comments about how discussions of portable or not are pointless here. Flash cards are infinitely better than discs for home consoles, too. Lower power consumption, more durable, more space efficient, harder to pirate, greater capacity, less heat production....there is literally no advantage to using optical media aside from maybe production cost (and I'm not sure about that one).

I mean, except for "multimedia" use, but if I wanted that, I'd use a Blu-ray player or a smart TV (or my computer). If I'm going to buy a game console, then I want it optimized for GAMES.

Eh, My Nintendo sucks, but it's still better than Sony's and Microsoft's nonexistent programs.

That is BEAUTIFUL. If I didn't already have a New 3DS XL, I'd TOTALLY be snatching that up.

It looks great but not my personal style of game. I'm not a fan of the small character/big world view perspective. I may give it a download for the multiplayer option, but it looks like a solid quality product. I hope it does well. It's nice to see some Wii U exclusives.

@Dreamcaster-X
That NEEDS to happen. They've proven that they can make an EXCELLENT high speed racing game.

With the Retron 5 available for around the same price with WAY more supported systems, this is kind of...dumb tbh. I love my Retron 5, but I see zero incentive to buy this.

I don't see what everyone's in such a huff about. Yeah, it sucks not having the footprints, but it was broken anyway; taking that out hasn't really changed anything. The third party stuff, oh well? Suck it up and play the game like it's meant to be played? That's like throwing a hissy fit when Nintendo patches a console to remove Homebrew functionality. So sorry you have to play things they way they were intended.

Pokemon Go is great. It's far FAR from perfect, but I've thoroughly enjoyed it despite the plethora of bugs and less-than-functional features.

Hooray! Another Nintendo console that Ubisoft makes huge promises to support and then completely abandons!

I do not like the idea of a hybrid or a hardware release that doesn't noticeably outperform the Xbox One Scorpio, BUT I've never been disappointed with Nintendo hardware before (I even love my Virtual Boy), so I'm going to trust them to prove me wrong. Day One adoption for sure.

This game isn't even a Wii U problem. Games WAY more intensive than this run at a higher resolution with WAY better frame rates. This was just sloppy development.

720p is a bit disappointing, but not surprising, and really not a huge deal. The framerate does concern me, but it's still 9 months away, and day one patches are entirely possible, so it's very likely IMO that the framerate issue will be fixed (or at least improved) by launch.

Rough candid vids are the best. Out of everyone at NintendoLife, PushSquare, and PureXbox, you're my favorite, Alex!

@FamousGamous
The simple fact that you're taking the reviews to heart, trying to learn, and listening to and talking to consumers has sold me. That's something seen far too rare in gaming today. Even if it is really short and visibly made by a beginner, that's the kind of attitude worth encouraging and supporting; I'll probably give this a download once I get paid Friday.

@IamWaluigi
The Bravely Second demo took me a good 8 hours to complete, and that was free. Granted, I completed EVERYTHING, but still, the point stands.

This is disappointing, I had high hopes for such a quirky looking game.

This is supremely disappointing. I thought it looked and sounded quite promising.

@Kirk Someone's tempermental. I had no idea that saying I liked a game and using an analogy you didn't like was such a grievous insult. Forgive me, your highness.

I'm sold. This sounds fantastic.

I, personally, loved Starfox Zero. I wasn't a big fan of the controls, but the controls on Perfect Dark and Goldeneye are kind of rubbish, too, given the N64's lack of a second control stick, but I still ADORE those games. If a game is good enough, unusual control schemes won't kill it IMO.

@Pokefanmum82 Same here. As a collector, I never get rid of any of my games unless I have duplicates (which I usually trade for games that aren't in my collection yet).

I'd prefer the NX and MH to be separate, but what I suspect is that the NX will be the home unit and the MH will be the portable unit with either a PS Vita/PS TV relationship or something like the rumors for the PS4 and PS4K where games will need to be developed for both hardware sets and the system detects which hardware is being used and runs that version of the game accordingly.

Personally, I find the latter to be unlikely, but the former raises the concerns of the NX/MH being an awkward mix of a really weak console and a really beefy handheld, and I'm not sure that would be for the best. Then again, it's Nintendo; they'll probably do something totally bizarre that works wonderfully (regardless of whether or not it turns out to be a commercial success).

I got slack and missed Xerneas, but I was able to snag the other two.

The more I think about it, the more I begin to see the potential wisdom for launching in March. Some people will be SUPER hyped (like me) and save money received as Christmas gifts to buy an NX at launch. For the rest of the market (the overwhelming majority), that will give a good seven or eight months before the holiday spending season starts for 2017 for Nintendo to show the world WHY they should buy an NX. After the Wii U, only hardcore Nintendo fans are going to be chomping at the bit to get this system; I think that allowing time to deliver a good, solid line-up and entice disillusioned players before the next holiday season is actually a good idea given the company's current situation.

It's at least a valid strategy even if it doesn't play out the way Kimishima-san hopes it will.

I love BABYMETAL. And LadyBaby.

I'd love to see an anthology released based on genre rather than series. The Metal Slug and Samurai Shodown anthologies were great, but I'd love to see a more general SNK shmup collection.

Do the amiibo air strikes help against that last boss at all?

I don't know if I buy the giga-hype about the line-up, but I definitely believe that the controller's gimmick won't be a screen. That drove up Wii U costs which limited the power of the hardware they could put in at that price point, both of which were the Wii U's downfall. I highly doubt they'd make that mistake again, especially since the new CEO is much more business minded than Iwata-san was.

I'm not sure it's fair to call the NX a second 8th gen console. Nintendo has always had a fairly regular release schedule for North America with consoles. The NES was around for 6 years before being replaced, the SNES 5 years, the N64 5 years, the Gamecube 5 years, and the Wii 6 years. When the NX launches this fall or early next year, it will given the Wii U a 4 or 4.5 year life span - shorter than the others, for sure, but still not as early as people are making it out to be. If nothing else, Nintendo does their own thing rather than just following market trends, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that they release consoles on their time, not the market's. I also think people overestimate the jump in visible performance that the "PS4K" will see as well as its impact on Sony's sales.

That being said, even if some of us who have been following the industry generation after generation see the NX as an early 9th gen console instead of a late/second 8th gen console, the average consumer will not see it that way, so Nintendo's going to have an uphill battle to convince consumers to adopt, especially after the Wii U. I hope they've got a masterpiece of a brilliant marketing strategy up their sleeves.

I voted Bravely Second and Langrissier, but I'll be getting them retail.

Is there a Team "That Show Sucks"?

I LOVE Corpse Party. If this is getting a physical release, I'm pre-ordering. If it's digital only, however, I'll probably pass until there's a sale.

The atomic bombs were never needed. Japan had offered unconditional surrender before we dropped the first bomb.

I think Club Nintendo was much better (even if the site was clunky and looked awful) because it rewarded physical downloads and didn't expire nearly as quickly (did those coins expire at all?).

The platinum coins are fantastic and work really well, but it's a bit of a slight, I think, not to reward gold coins for physical releases, though I understand why given that Nintendo makes less money on them. At the very least, however, I think they should give a reduced amount. For example, a standard retail download gets you 60 coins; award 30 coins for buying that game physically. That way we who like physical media are still being rewarded, but Nintendo's diminished profits are being reflected by diminished rewards.

The expiration time, though....That has got to go. I don't know what they were thinking by putting a six month limit on those gold coins, but that's GOT to change. Come on, Nintendo; you've always been the companies that's the best about rewarding your customers. While this is still better than Sony's and Microsoft's complete lack of any rewards program, that's still a pretty screwed up feature in my opinion.

I sincerely hope that it looks better on the New 3DS. I'm by no means a videophile, but that looks downright awful. Those textures look like a DS game, and I know that it's hard to get an impressive level of graphical fidelity when you've got such a processor intensive game, but....geeze. It truly does look abysmal.

This is a truly fantastic fighting game. The best part of the game is taking off your clothes and dancing to the Magikarp Festival music.

The day that Nintendo goes digital-only is the day it moves to 2nd place in my focus. The only system I do digital-only is PC. For my other systems, I always get retail if I can, even if it means not getting the game on my preferred console. If it's only digital no matter what console, then sure, I'll download, but I'll be that crotchety old man clinging to physical releases until their last dying breath.

I'm down for anything from Nintendo. I'll at least give it a shot.

I hardcore recommend Never Alone. I'm also getting Pokken Tournament in the mail tomorrow, but I'm thinking about downloading U Host.

@Shiryu
Same here

Normally season passes piss me off, but Nintendo has proven that it knows how to do DLC right, and if you have a proven track record, I'm fine with season passes.

What are the items that you get in the main game? I'm definitely doing to download the demo, but whether or not I take the time to play all the way through it will depend on what the rewards in the main game are.

My physical copy of TPHD with the amiibo will be here tomorrow, but I'm definitely downloading Chasing Dead when I get home tonight. Even if it's just "okay," I'll give just about any horror game on the Wii U a go by this point.
