The Assault stage in Smash is hopefully a preview of what's to come for the new Star Fox. The Wii U has the muscle to pull off some amazing scenarios that the GameCube, DS, N64 and SNES just could not do. Gameplay is nice but if the game can be beaten in less than an hour like SF64 then it better come with a price tag to match cause $60 is asking too much. Heck $30 was too much for the N64 remake on 3DS.

@GreatPlayer I love Sonic. Have since Sonic 1 on Genesis. Sonic since the end of the Dreamcast era has been, on average, atrocious especially when you compare him to Mario. There's no escaping it. Every platformer that comes out WILL be compared to Mario. Sonic's games have not all been bad. Colors and Generations were the 2 best 3D platformers for Sonic since Adventure 2. The Advance and Rush series on the handheld were solid adventures that showed that Sonic in 2D was still fun.

However SEGA has mishandled him far more. 2006's debacle, the fact that they somehow messed up a Sonic 2D platformer with Sonic 4, and now Sonic Boom which took a backseat to its TV counterpart (which is an ok show with Dr. Eggman being genuinely funny) instead of the other way like in the 90's and even in the beginning of SEGA's 3rd party venture. Sonic diehards will never admit it but the character still looks up to Mario and probably from further down now than he has ever had to before.

I've played every Metroid game. My first was Metroid Prime on the GameCube. I knew nothing of the franchise other than Samus being in Smash Bros. This trilogy is near and dear to what I consider Nintendo's most pristine series.

Because a new Ecco game is never coming out.

Hoping SEGA just keeps spiraling down the drain. Sad thought from a person who's owned the Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast during their generation but it's the only way to free the franchises to more suitable companies like.....Nintendo.

He should step away for a couple of years and enjoy life or something else. Then come back with fresh eyes if he wants to.

This would be nice for those GBC games you know will never come out. Nintendo is taking way too darn long to trot these out. Their future handheld running the NintendOS would probably look to solve the issues for porting with speed.

The 2nd time this game has been re-released in less than 5 years. 100% with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk and in co-op. So motion wasn't that big a deal.

Sonic Colors
Rayman Origins
Super Paper Mario
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
Xenoblade Chronicles

I have everything but Super Punch Out so might as well get it while I can.

Been part of the rewards program since the beginning and got the excellent Zelda Collector's Disc. Looks like I'll be adding more games to the backlog by redeeming all my coins.

Eternal Darkness...

The Prime trilogy! This means I don't have to pay a ridiculous price for the physical copy. This gives me hope for playing Xenoblade Chronicles which will probably be released sometime around X's release.

Next console should just be the Nintendo GameCube. I think everyone would be happy with that.

@ZenTurtle That would require Nintendo actually trying and that isn't their style.

And to think Nintendo let Rayman to be a trophy is Smash Bros. (though I actually wanted him to be playable).

Nintendo's given me a ton of "free" stuff for being a fan (Zelda: Collector's Edition was more than enough) so I'm happy with the $15 I got from this deal.

Must have Genesis theme in USA!

Completely CG (none of this half-live action/half-CG Chipmunks/Smurfs nonsense) with Charles Martinet voicing.

I'd drop my iPhone 6 in a heartbeat to have a Nintendo Phone.

Donkey Kong Maker, Wario Maker, Yoshi Maker, Kirby Maker would be relatively easy for them to produce. But doing a Metroid Maker and Zelda Maker would be a tough grind. F-Zero Maker could be good as the customization option has been done before in the series.

I could also see Mario Maker for 3DS using SML, SML26GC, SMA, and NSMB as templates.

Mario 3D Maker. Use elements from SM64, SMS, SMG, and SM3D. Would be a massive undertaking but I'd be all over it.

8 different controllers can be used. Have it your way.

The glasses free 3D was always a plus for me. But my original 3DS battery just doesn't allow me to enjoy it much.

Sonic's handling in Smash Bros. is how he should be in his own games. It's amazing how much Nintendo nailed other 3rd party characters better than those companies themselves.

Code of Honor? They do know they published games like Eternal Darkness and now Bayonetta 2 right?

Difficult game but it really does bring you back for more due to its unusual stages which are wider than in normal pinball games. Fuse, the developer, later made the excellent Metroid Prime Pinball.

Nintendo's been doing this since the 80's. Funny since Japanese culture tends to be less prudish in some aspects compared to western culture. Hopefully they get a patch going rather than take the lazy way out and hurting the majority for the misuse by a small minority.

Guess I won't be able to post screenshots. Hope they have a feature to take them like in Brawl.

Wow like 10 of those stages are from past games.

Watching this made me feel like there's no hope for 80% of our youth.

@Franklin I'm just imagining that in Franklin's voice.

As far as the best in the series I believe that 4 struck the best balance though 2 really was a step above the original while 3 was just 2 but bigger. 7 was a good entry especially for the experimental 8-player minigames. The mic games in 6 & 7 were more trouble than they were worth. 8 was just horrendous, probably the worst of the series, lazy ideas, lack of widescreen, lack of 60 fps, maybe it was a huge sign of the fall of Hudson. Have not tried 9, DS, Advance, e, or Island Tour but I'm looking forward to 10.

I see Green Hill Zone from SSBB.

MIYAMOTO SMASH!

That would have been slightly better which is

The feels! They're coming hard!

I don't get why they did not even attempt to make it thinner than the original 3DS. It's actually thicker. Here's to waiting out for the New Nintendo 3DS Lite.

I'm sure all of these announcements are in wait of the 3DS version of SSB. Makes me think that Nintendo might have equally big news on the Wii U front in the run up to SSB U.

More swordsmen. Might as well make this Soul Calibur.

Is it skinnier than the original 3DS? If so then I'm in.

An actual use for the Gamepad in a high profile Nintendo game? I'll believe it when I see it.

Mario could be DLC. I mean if Link can be in Mario Kart then anything goes at this point.

Well there goes all my money.

I'm sure Ubisoft would NEVER do such a thing.

@TheWPCTraveler That would require EA to actually spend time developing a game rather than copy/pasting previous versions.

If some lucky random dude named Chris Houlihan can get in then surely Nintendo can do something for Robin Williams.

@Mega719 Yes but maybe a character that looks and/or acts similar to his acting style with a name that has initials "RW" would be a nice gesture.

Can't do that with Halo.
