@grimbldoo Samus Aran was originally a man. They changed his gender during development of the first game. Good thing too, seeing as how upsetting it would have been for you.
Santa brings you toys if you're nice, Link is a girl, Playstaytion is a good console--enough with the harmful lies! People need to quit misleading each other and start living in the REAL world.
@WesCash Nintendo makes more changes to Mario and Zelda than people give them credit for. If Nintendo games were all the same there wouldn't be fans of Mario 64 who hate Mario Sunshine.
Microsoft does have Rare. I can see Nintendo fans enjoying an Xbox. But the time to buy a 360 has passed. I'd wait for the Nextbox.
@Samholy Behind the PS3 is the evil creator of SecuROM. Also Sony's creations are not on par with Nintendo or even Microsoft. The best they can hope to do is copy them.
@WaveWitch You'd rather have a PS2 than a 360? Now that's a low blow.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who takes Halloween seriously. While the rest of you are dressing up and enjoying your candy, I aim to destroy the vile Ape Escape and seal it away hopefully for good this year.
It's the PS3 that's too expensive. After 6 years, Sony needs to do better than $300 in order to sell me their Blu-ray player.
@kkslider5552000 I have a hard time believing Sony too. I imagine they figure the 10 year console rigamarole will help snag a few last minutes sales before they launch their PS4. $300 for a PS3 in 2012 is nothing to get excited about.
QTEs are worse than waggle. Yet over the last 10 years it seems devs can't come up with anything better. Reviewers need to start speaking out against it. Do I want RE6 on Wii U? No. I'd rent it and maybe change my mind--but from the gameplay videos I've seen I have no interest at this time. I'll stick to Revelations.
I'd say touch screens have been around long enough for all of us to agree they're not a gimmick. Patcher has a point that looking back and forth from the GamePad to the big screen doesn't feel natural, that's why it's so important for third party ports to have minimal use of the touch screen. Mass Effect, Darksiders, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, and Black Ops are all doing just that. Other games like ZombiU are intentionally using the GamePad to distract you from the big screen--disconnection is their whole idea.
I really don't see the GamePad being a star feature for single player games. Asymmetrical gameplay is what it's all about. Playing on the GamePad while someone else uses the big screen. That's good stuff.
@moomoo I don't know about that. I like it alright, but it's not my favorite DS game. It reminds me of Myst a little bit, but with more language and boobs. Definitely not for everyone.
I don't know what PS3 owners have to be upset about (aside from owning PS3s). Now that the Wii U has Bayonetta 2 coming to it exclusively, this is the perfect time for hardcore gamers to go out and buy a Nintendo console.
Wow, people praising PaRappa and the Eye Toy? Now all we need is someone to claim the Virtual Boy was awesome and then the apocalypse can get underway.
It may not be an inspired name, but at least we know they'll never run out of titles.
Medal of Honor: KILLSTREAKER

Medal of Honor: MINESWEEPER?
I don't want more from Nintendo. But that's probably because I was a PlayStation gamer for so long. Sony has a way of keeping you from getting your expectations too high.
I closed my facebook page years ago after I learned they were making money off our personal information. Lawyers and IRS auditors will use your facebook accounts against you too when they can. Creepy stuff. With all that unsecured information floating around, who needs a PS3?
More like Game Misinformer... actually now that Nintendo has revealed their new Pro controller, I don't see why Tomb Raider wouldn't be on the Wii U at some point.

Re: Molyneux: "I Struggle To See Anything Amazing Coming Out Of Nintendo"
@Ren Good games stopped selling consoles the moment everyone bought a PS2 because they wanted a DVD player. Sorry.

Re: Mass Effect 3 Wii U Content Detailed
@CanisWolfred That's why you have a PS3? To play one game in the Mass Effect trilogy that's been on the PC and Xbox for 5 years?
Re: The Legend of Zelda's Link Was Inspired By Walt Disney's Peter Pan
All you guys know Sonic the Hedgehog was based on Felix the Cat, right?
@Alien_Mosky Wasn't Mario originally a quick replacement for Popeye?

Re: Watch: First US Wii U Advert Appears
If Wii U is supposed to be a system for 'everyone'... where were the people playing games like Darksiders 2
I guess neck beards don't make for attractive commercials.

Re: GameStop Kids Store Launches, 80 More Planned
So now there's a Game Stop for children along side the one for adult children? This seems unnecessary.

Re: Talking Point: The Message in "I'm Not a Gamer" Commercials
@WaveWitch @NintendoCat14 Not gonna happen. Nintendo wants everyone to buy their consoles. So it's back to business as casual.
Re: The Wii U Nintendo Network Will Connect to EA's Origin
And I thought friend codes were bad.
Re: Award Winning Short Film Shows the Power of Zelda and Escapism
I cried at the part where the GameCube got smashed. "Why couldn't she have smashed the PS2 instead?"
Re: Talking Point: Affordable Consoles Come at a Cost
@gundam00 It's like I keep telling everyone: Video games are not art. They're products of corporate greed.
Re: Aksys Releases Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward OVA
@kilicool64 They always say that about Japanese voice-acting because they can't really tell either way.
Re: Nintendo Responds To Foxconn's Admission Of Guilt In Child Labour Scandal
Wii U. Made for children, by children.
Re: Review: Samurai G (3DS eShop)
@RR529 Yikes! A decent, not great, time waster is scoring a 7/10 elsewhere?! We might all want to remember that a 5/10 is an average game.

Re: Wii U Resellers Captilise On Demand By Fleecing Consumers
I feel worse for the potential PS4 buyers. $750 will be the retail price.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Would Love to See GameCube Games on Wii U Virtual Console
Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Super Monkey Ball, Crazy Taxi, Billy Hatcher and the Giant EGG, Phantasy Star Online, and Skies of Arcadia.
GameCube had some of the greatest games ever.
Re: Bayonetta 2 Dev: Wii U Exclusivity Isn't a Snub, It's About Reaching a Wider Audience
I don't know what PS3 owners have to be upset about (aside from owning PS3s). Now that the Wii U has Bayonetta 2 coming to it exclusively, this is the perfect time for hardcore gamers to go out and buy a Nintendo console.

Re: Many Happy Returns, Final Fantasy - You're 25 This Year
To celebrate, I'll be playing FF6 on the VC and trying hard to remember a time when this series was actually worth my time and money.
Re: More Tantalising Wii U Pricing Rumours Emerge Online
@Samholy You barely let your kids play the PS3? Well, they'll thank you when they're older.
Re: Job Listing Leaks Big Budget Fantasy RPG For Wii U
Big budget doesn't always mean quality (Square Enix taught me that). Still, I'm interested to hear more about this mystery game.
Re: Capcom Hopes to Expand Fighting Game Audience
Capcom wants to expand their audience? Go put some games on the Wii U then.
Re: pitchWinPLAY Competition Cancelled
I think you mean at most 500 people would've entered. That would've been everyone who owns a PS Vita.
Re: Michael Pachter: Activision Demanded Wii U Pro Controller for CoD
That's only half the story. Activision also demanded better platinum rewards from Club Nintendo.
Re: Wreck-It Ralph is in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Danica Patrick's all-star move is called traffic stopper. No bikini can hold her.

Re: Review: Let's Create! Pottery (WiiWare)
5/10? Best game on the iPad.
Re: Time Travelers Live Action Advert is All Tears
I agree with Nintendo life, this game does seem to hint at a story that will leave you bored to tears.
Re: Club Nintendo's Gold and Platinum Prizes Have Emerged
Freedom isn't free and neither are Club Nintendo rewards. Someone make a bumper sticker.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime: Fanbase Demands Are 'Insatiable'
@Janett But NSMBW outsold Mario Galaxy. Looks like Nintendo got the message.

Re: Miyamoto: Nintendo Focused on Fun, Not Competition
Fun is the one thing Sony can't seem to copy. Tell me Nintendo's not being competitive.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue One
Has it been two weeks already?

Maybe I'll finish Xenoblade this weekend.
Re: Tomb Raider Not Coming to Wii U
@irken004 Why would you want Tomb Raider on a PS3? Aren't Tomb Raider clones good enough?
Re: Tomb Raider Not Coming to Wii U
@Ren Tomb Raider hasn't been a big IP for a while now. Let's hope this latest game can change that.

Re: Shinobi Joins Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed
Normally I'd be bummed about getting Gilius Thunderhead and no Tyris Flare, but after playing Xenoblade I'm kinda boobed out.
