It's 2 years old, they didn't even update the roster...

Can they just get rid of the button...

It was the best of times, it was the BLURST OF TIMES?! You stupid monkey!

Lego City Undercover, easy

Because a rear view mirror on the GamePad makes sense... :/

Love it

World Cup Final day? Damn, won't be seeing this then...

@ThomasBW84 I dunno, that's what it says at the top of this article with a link to a 7/10 review

@martincy No I don't get it either, lot of reviews just said it was too hard and panned it which was really unfair. It's a great game which tries something new
I also fear for the review scale when 7 means "didn't think much of it"

Glad colour powers are moved off motion controls though, and the lives thing is certainly a plus. Still doesn't detract from the challenge but removes the annoying 1 life left syndrome

I'd expect TMNT to be up next if they renew the sets for season 2

It has Lego City Undercover, so it's a successful year

Seriously though, it's been pretty dire... Still one year down, let's hope it turns around eh?

@Wildfire I loved it, but it was just far too simplistic for a mainstream audience. If you're a big fan, I'd definitely recommend it, for the script if nothing else!

@Tender_Cutlet I took the quote from this week's episode, but that's a great fact!

Awesome
At least we get Mario Galaxy on Wii U one way or another!

This month's entry for Nintendo do the funniest things is a good'un

This is just the latest example of complete mismanagement by Nintendo. Regional online completely misses the point of online, and for that, they've lost a sale of Wii Sports Club from me!

No Yoshi at all? It's like you want me to hate this game Nintendo ¬¬

@Nintenjoe64 Hmm that's interesting... Would need to be re-released for Wii U though, but at least it's possible

@Nintenjoe64 Doesn't matter if it does, the input is still digital. Unfortunately, Wii U has no way getting a proper analog input unless they release a new controller!!

I don't think it ever was coming to PS3/360?

Anyway, this is going to be... interesting... without analog triggers. Simulation games using a digital trigger? Hmm

To be honest, I'd be pretty annoyed if I bought the game digitally only to find out in a few months it's a physical release too... But that's probably just me!

@tripunktoj You can select your nation when you start the game, and then that nation gains points for your exploits online

@DestinyMan You're not the only one surprised at the affection for 2012 - I thought it was absolutely dire

@CaviarMeths I actually enjoy watching the Winter Olympics more than the Summer Olympics, but skiing down a slope or sitting in a bobsled on a track does not make for fun gameplay. And the Ice Hockey is fun enough, just not as fun as it could be.
If you didn't play the last one, then there's probably enough to justify you getting it. I really liked 2010, but this one is essentially the same game with a new coat of paint, and the score reflects that

And then they'll release Miiverse on 3DS and Letter Box will be obsolete anyway...? This is kinda dumb, the service has been running for a while, you can't seriously tell me this has just become an issue :/

Dug mine out of storage last weekend - amazed the batteries haven't exploded!

So this is what, 2 years out of date by Xmas? Is it even worth releasing now?

Looking forward to Nintendo Life Tennis nights

Now if only I had space on my SD card, I'd be playing this right now

Now if this was 100% more Zelda themed...

GROOVY

Although I have absolutely no interest in this game. I do however appreciate Earthworm Jim making a reappearance

@HopeNForever My original draft did include that (I love it personally), but wanted to focus more on TV series (and the movie almost got cut too)

I'm loving it
It has its problems for sure, but there's a lot of fun to be had!

@HyperSonicEXE As much as I love Cubot and Orbot, bringing back Scratch and Grounder would be the greatest thing ever!

@GeminiSaint I managed to sneak that into a tweet earlier this week

@JimLad Dimps haven't made a good Sonic game since Rush, don't let them near it!

However long it takes is how long I wait. Don't rush Zelda, it's not a franchise that can be taken lightly

NOOOOO NOT A PAT-oh it's 46mb. Think I can probably wait a few minutes

How long has that song been out for?!

Disappointed my legendary trophy modelling wasn't shown haha

Stan Lee transforming into the Hulk was my highlight from the demo. So funny

@Peach64 Absolutely, this decision smacks of a lack of focus. They don't want to give up on the GamePad, but then they roll out a Wii launch game that literally every Wii owner got for free. Wii U era Nintendo are inexplicable sometimes

Non-news story of the year: A CHALLENGER APPROACHES

@djepic209 But it IS forced on you, that's the problem. Even when it serves no purpose, it's still there. No-one knows what to do with it and it's pushing the price up and the processing power down. Make an optional tablet for Miiverse, sure, but if it doesn't work in the games, save the time and effort and ditch it

@djepic209 Honestly, the sooner Nintendo ditch the Gamepad the sooner we can get back to them just making games and not having to shoehorn it in. Miiverse is great, but touch scrolling on web pages? That's an analogue stick right there. Show me why the Gamepad needs to exist and I might warm to it, but right now it's a big old controller with no real reason to exist.

Hate it

Knew I should have waited... Had very little in the way of enjoyment being an early adopted, and now something that would have offset the abysmal games line-up... Damn...

Best bit was still Lego City

Got to love Shibata

Who said "yeah, £56 seems right for Splinter Cell"?!
