He may be a hero, but Link is still just Zelda's toadie. They'll never be grind buddies.

@killer6370 I think you mean the love story between Cloud and Barret.
@FluttershyGuy Link never gets with Zelda. He's not a prince. Like Zelda says in Skyward Sword she was just using him.

Rare used to be cool, but now they suck like Square Enix.

This is great news! The mods can finally lock that PS3 "fan" thread. No more clutter in the forums.

@Mikau94 All Team Ninja did was give Samus that badonkadonk. I still trust them.

Time to compromise.
Wiivolution?

@DanteSolablood It wouldn't be the first time Sony has told fibs.

I've named this Christmas. I'm calling it the Christmas of PS3's Demise.

Criterion Games is my hope.

There is absolutely no harm in letting Nintendo know what you want. If you choose to remain silent now, you'll have no right to complain about not getting these games later.

@Azikira Heihachi was worse.

I suspected this story was a hoax the moment I heard Sony wasn't involved.

If they want to try something new, why are they making another Bit Trip game?

@Ayer99 I was thinking the same thing. This new Bit Trip game sounds as if it might be walking away from everything that made the series popular in the first place.

@joevox316 If you're asking me why Ape Escape isn't fun, I guess it boils down to a distinct lack of pizzazz. It expects you to be enthused just by the idea of apes escaping, but the developers simply didn't give you a reason to be. Well that, or Sony just has really bad ideas that translate into worse games.

Looks bad, but I'm sure it's 4x better than Ape Escape.

@NintendoLife I voted Zumba Fitness best Wii game of 2011.

I thought they might have a Zelda game up this month, but Majora's Mask was not what I expected. I also predicted My Pokemon Ranch for WiiWare, lol. I'm glad I was wrong.

He also listed Resident Evil: Revelations, which is rated E for Everyone wants that game.

It's worth considering that when the 3DS does get a redesign, on top of the new things it will have (second circle pad, extra battery life?), it most likely won't play your old DS games.

@Sapo You should have bought an Xbox instead of a PlayStation. Rookie mistake.

Pirates are greedy, corporations are greedy, and both of them are trying to take as much as they can. Welcome to the galaxy.

@LEGEND_MARIOID Amnesty International might have a difficult time connecting the dots between organized crime and downloading Super Mario Galaxy 2.

@C7_ Those solutions wouldn't make Nintendo happy. If everyone who pirated Super Mario Galaxy 2 had bought a copy used instead, it would still cost Nintendo over $35 million in sales. That's something to think about.

@joevox316 You two need some perspective. Video games are more expensive to make now, but also realize that the video game industry has exploded over the last 30 years. More people are buying video games now than ever before. This isn't business as usual.

@Lohengriehn Sounds like somebody didn't get what he wanted for Christmas.

I figure it must take a lot of hard work even to make a sucky game, but Edmund McMillen makes it look easy.

Epic Mickey wasn't the different and unique gaming experience I was hoping for. Will the Junction Point team end up making a samey sequel, or will they create the epic game it should have been? I wouldn't expect much this time, not after hearing it's going multi-platform.

I'm excited for this new 3DS Fire Emblem. I don't like DLC though.

@NTELLIGENTMAN You win X-mas!

@SanderEvers No need to apologize. You're the one I feel sorry for.

@FluttershyGuy Ganon doesn't kill OoT Zelda. With Link out of the way, they get married and have the ugly moblin children that populate the dark world.

Thanks to reincarnation and multiple time lines (Marvel Comics would be proud), Nintendo can keep making the same game over and over again.

But I need more. It's time to explore a fourth time line. What happens when Link II fails to defeat Vaati?

The ability to release games unfinished and patch them up later seems to have made developers lazy. I'd be grateful to see someone buck this trend.

You get to save Christmas in Secret of Mana.
SPOILER!

@SanderEvers Not having to deal with sailing puts Minish Cap over Wind Waker for me. Sailing for hours was so boring... That really killed any desire I would've had to replay Wind Waker. Minish Cap is way too short, but at least zipping through it again doesn't feel like a chore.

The only reason I pushed myself enough to finish it on the Gameboy Advance, was because it unlocked extras in Metroid Prime. I pawned it after beating it once. I never want to play Fusion again.

They call it short because you can beat all the dungeons in 10 hours, if you don't get stuck (and you probably won't). You do have the option of trying to stretch the game out longer, if you want to collect figurines.

Dowsing saved me from the game ending glitch!

Initially I was headed for the Thunder Dragon (and disaster) because I heard he had treasure, but I decided to take on a little side quest first. Dowsing led me to Eldin instead of Lanayru, forcing me to meet the Fire Dragon before the others.

@paburrows A validation. There is a 95% chance that a Zelda game utilizing the Wii U touch controller would most certainly use a stylus. Stylus games always put me to sleep without end. Therefor, Wii Motion's future role in Zelda's great destiny are a welcome continuation.

A report. There is an 85% chance that I don't care about motion controls either way. I'd advise Master Aonuma worry more about giving the player more freedom in the future and stop constantly telling the player what to do.

That's disappointing. Nintendo can kiss Skyward Sword's game of the year chances good bye.

That naked girl looks a little bewildered.

I'm playing through Skyward Sword right now, and there's a wall of text between Link and Zelda. Talk about a disconnect.

If Nintendo's plan is to space these games out between now and next Christmas, they had better hurry up. If for instance the Last Story comes out too close to the Wii U launch date, no one will care anymore.

In 2012 for $300, Nintendo should be able to build a much better console than the PS3 and still make a profit.

Yeah... I didn't actually want this game, Nintendo. I just like griping along with everyone else. Good luck selling this dud.

It's a good game, but it's not the best Zelda. For one thing Fi is super annoying and 10x worse than Navi ever was. I wish Nintendo would stop holding my hand when I play their games. I don't need Fi telling when my health is low, when to save my game, or when to replace my Wiimote batteries. I don't need a repeat dowsing tutorial, and I certainly don't need Fi ruining the puzzles. I hope none of you bought a strategy guide for this game. You will not need it.

If only Iwata had delayed Skyward Sword for one more year, they could have worked even harder on it and added some voice acting. Skyward Sword was released too soon.

The comparisons between the Dreamcast and GCN versions of Sonic Adventure 2 have not been covered to my satisfaction. I think we need to probe deeper.

The Wii is my favorite current gen console too. It doesn't have the awesome racers or RPGs that you find on the PC, but it's still my favorite.
