I noticed reviews don't list the genre of the game anymore? That's always the thing I look at first and so important! I can't believe you guys removed that, please list it alongside or at the top of reviews again.
The opening sentence of this article is weird. Remasters are a lesser form of remakes and not the other way around, so saying a remaster is more than a remake doesn't make sense.
SSB4 DLC is way too expensive, and Splatoon DLC is just stuff that should have been in the base game. MK8 is the only title of the three mentioned that did DLC right.
It's a smaller stage of Zygarde, like Phione was to Manaphy, Carbink was to Diancie, Hoopa Confined was to Hoopa Unbound, etc. Other fan drawings after it was shown in the cinema make it look a lot like a baby Zygarde.
This game is the DS equivalent of Tetris on the original Game Boy: inifinitely replayable and addictive. I must've logged over a hundred hours on it over the years. Beautiful graphics and music too. The local leaderboards thing isn't an issue if you just exchange high scores online with other players on message boards and such, the playerbase is very competitive.
I love Amiibos but I wish they weren't so overpriced, they're really not worth what Nintendo asks for them. If they had more reasonable prices (like 8 - 10 bucks tops) I'd buy a lot more, thereby netting Nintendo higher profits in the end so this is really shooting themselves in the foot.
Cinccino is actually somewhat controversial in this sense, because it is basically wearing its own brothers and sisters as scarves like some sort of fashion cannibal. Pretty messed up when you think about it, to the point where I had to take it off my team because it just became disturbing to look at.
The only Wii U games I want so far are NSMBU and The Wonderful 101, and the former only as a rental really, so I'll just wait a while before jumping on. Being an early adopter of Nintendo systems is always a mistake, I've learned my lesson (several times over).

The Snubbull looks incredible!
Re: Video: See King K. Rool, Dark Samus And Chrom Battle It Out In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
It's so touching to see a father and his daughter fighting space monsters together.

Couple of misspelled names in this article; the correct spellings are Turtonator and Ninetales.
Re: Feature: Exciting Wii U and 3DS Games to Play in Spring and Summer 2016

Re: Nine Nintendo Titles Pass One Million Sales For This Financial Year
@FX102A Pokémon is a JRPG, and is anything but niche.
Re: Nine Nintendo Titles Pass One Million Sales For This Financial Year
How come Woolly World did so exceptionally poorly in Japan? Do they hate Yoshi?
Re: Editorial: Nintendo's Release Date Quirks in North America and Europe are Harmful to the Holiday Season
The "Bros." suffix on the latest two Mario & Luigi games is so unnecessary and embarrassing; what on Earth was NoE thinking with that?
Re: Preview: Fabulous Fashion and Questionable Game Design in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
Being mostly a single-player gamer, I just canceled my preorder based on this preview. Thanks for saving me the money, NL!
Re: Fire Emblem Fates Looks Set to be a Single Release in the West, According to Amazon
Best news ever!

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Game Updates and DLC Are Fantastic, Albeit Starved of Attention
SSB4 DLC is way too expensive, and Splatoon DLC is just stuff that should have been in the base game. MK8 is the only title of the three mentioned that did DLC right.
Re: Dragon Quest XI Is Coming To The Nintendo 3DS And Nintendo NX
RIP Wii U.

Re: Three New Nintendo 3DS Bundles Heading to Europe on 26th June
@icedude545 Maybe they think it's too powerful now that it's immune to Water and outclasses Primal Kyogre...
Re: Three New Nintendo 3DS Bundles Heading to Europe on 26th June
Very weird that there's no OmegaRuby bundle...

Re: Buy Three Nintendo 64 and DS Virtual Console Games and Get the Fourth Free in Europe
@booker_steve: Nope, see here: http://dk64.wikia.com/wiki/Version_Differences (under "PAL differences")
Re: Splatoon amiibo 3-Pack Will Cost $35, According To Amazon

Re: Video: This Unlockable Character in Hyrule Warriors Shouldn't Be Missed
This game looks so intensely boring and repetitive to play.
Re: Review: Kuru Kuru Kururin (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
I wish Nintendo had localized the GameCube sequel, it looks fun and extremely pretty.
Re: Video: Hacker Allegedly Shows Hidden Duck Hunt amiibo Data in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
@TheGreatBrawler It says right in the article that they're called Duck Hunt Duo in Europe.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th May (North America)
@biglittlejake Just buy them on the Virtual Console in Wii mode. It has tons of N64 games.
Re: Mario Golf: World Tour Hits a Bogey in UK Charts
Day one DLC coming back to bite them in the ass... I hope this will be a lesson/warning for Nintendo. That's why I boycotted the game.
Re: Review: Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
@AG_Awesome Agreed. This is the worst Kirby game and a waste of money.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th April (Europe)
Amazing Mirror is the worst Kirby game. Don't buy it.
Re: First Impressions: Hometown Story
That mascot critter looks exactly like Minccino from Pokémon, I think Nintendo could easily sue for copyright infringement.
Re: Wii U RPG Soul Saga Will Turn Your GamePad Into A Steampunk Phone
That kid looks like Marche from FFTA.
Re: New Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Teaser Site Opens
A sequel would be a dream come true since Theatrhythm is my GOTY.
Maybe they could do Theatrhythm: Kingdom Hearts edition next.
Re: PETA Targets Pokémon Black & White 2 in Latest Campaign
@HarmoKnight Mantine babies (if you breed without the Wave Incense) also hatch with a Remoraid already attached. How did that get inside the egg?

Re: First Impressions: Paper Mario Sticker Star
Kersti --> ker sti --> sti ker --> sticker!
Re: Review: Pokémon Black and White 2 (DS)
@AlanEdgeHead Agreed! It's terribly annoying. It's like they're always talking about Black 1 and White 2.
Re: Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion Coming to Europe in 2013
@Geonjaha You mean the past, when the DS was region free?
Re: Nintendo Announces Big eShop Releases Coming This Year
Does Nano Assault EX lose any stuff from the retail version, or is it basically the retail version + extras (i.e. the reverse of Freakyforms Deluxe)?
Re: Spirit Hunters Ghosting Onto DSiWare on 22nd November
Looks very cool, I'm definitely getting the Light version (because I have such a sunny disposition).
Re: Fallblox Confirmed for November Release in eShop
@Donjwolf Me neither, I burned out on Pushmo very quickly. It gets old fast.
Re: Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion Coming to Europe in 2013
Boo. (Literally.)
Re: Paper Mario: Sticker Star Arrives in Europe 7th December
Wow, much earlier than expected! Great news.
Re: Super Paper Mario Bros. - Level 1-1 Recreated in Mobius Strip
I want a level like this in Super Mario Galaxy 3.
Re: North America, Here Are Your 23 Wii U Launch Titles
@Rect_Pola By next gen, the launch window will just entail the entire period from launch day until the follow-up console releases.
Re: North America, Here Are Your 23 Wii U Launch Titles

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto: Mario and Luigi Don't Have Last Names
It's Ketchum. Luigi is secretly Ash's dad.
Re: The Denpa Men are Coming to Your 3DS Next Week
In that picture they look like the Teletubbies.
