Even though 007 Legends was a poor excuse for a Bond game, I feel for them. Goldeneye was a smart release, and to gut the company and put them on mobile is really sad
Even without being an analyst I could guess that in 4 years Wii U won't be doing as well as Wii. The simplicity of Wii's pick-up-and-play approach is just missing with Wii U
The amount of people still demanding SA3 makes me sad... The fact that Heroes and 06 were the Adventure mold notwithstanding, wouldn't it be nice to get something new?
Using the 3DS interface feels a bit, well, lazy to me. I dunno, I'd just liked to have seen a new layout for a new console. I guess if it ain't broke...
I don't think MMOs are a good fit for consoles whatsoever personally. The inherent nature of them having a ton of buttons makes it problematic and then you've got connectivity stuff to consider, patching and all the rest. That and I can't see Nintendo backing a subscription service on their console - they only just got in the DLC game remember
Subliminal advertising from Brad Pitt at the start there
Aside from it being far too long, it's not a great advert. Personally I'd show off the games rather than the concept. Seems to show a lack of faith in the launch line-up if everything is rapid-fire like that
Personally I think Wii U needed to be out this time last year, so I can certainly understand Ubi's logic. At least we get Legends though, so Wii U gets a dose of Rayman manicness
For a minute there I was worried it wouldn't have "baa baa" in the song... said no-one Love how the Baby Yellow Yoshi just casually eats the massive fire snake, as if it's just a quick snack
If this was the actual main menu then there would be no way to actually launch the game in the drive. Or access anything other than a horde of demos... More likely it's a prototype eShop
While I won't use it, that's what my GameCube was bought for, making GC games available would be a sensible decision. Then a whole new generation can attempt that damn pinball game in Sunshine

Re: LEGO Laying More Bricks With Legends Of Chima This Year
I'd rather they got on with the inevitable Lego TMNT game...
Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Community Awards 2012
Good to see Kid Icarus back above NSMB2 (although I'd argue for Paper Mario at #1!)
Re: Nintendo Direct: Watch The European Presentation Live
Instead of a fruit, Shibata holds up his giant Goomba. Make it happen Nintendo
Re: This Week's European Nintendo Direct To Focus On Wii U And 3DS Games
Yoshi's Land announcement please
Re: Wii U Update Will Be Available Out Of The Box Next Year
Expected really. Now just fix those crashes!
Re: Hardware Review: Wii U
I think the real question here is why do you have a Christmas tree up already?!
Re: Wii U Can be Used as a Portable Home Console
@RupeeClock I always wanted one of those haha
Re: Feature: Reinventing Nintendo's Legacy Franchises on Wii U
@Intrepid Good spot
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eight
@MegaWatts Battlefront DS is a bad game to say the least! Story was kinda erm... fun... no that's not it...
Re: GoldenEye 007 Wii Dev Suffers Major Job Losses
Even though 007 Legends was a poor excuse for a Bond game, I feel for them. Goldeneye was a smart release, and to gut the company and put them on mobile is really sad
Re: Wii U System Update Can Be Downloaded in the Background
Well that's a relief...
Re: Wii U Mass Effect 3 Owners Cannot Retake Omega
It just gets worse and worse...
Re: Reggie Surprises Nintendo World Store Campers 24 Hours Before Wii U Launch
Reggie must be one of the only CEOs to get that sort of reception just for turning up!
Re: Wii U Holiday Sales Projected to Exceed Wii Launch
Even without being an analyst I could guess that in 4 years Wii U won't be doing as well as Wii. The simplicity of Wii's pick-up-and-play approach is just missing with Wii U
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Dashing Onto Platforms In 2013
The amount of people still demanding SA3 makes me sad... The fact that Heroes and 06 were the Adventure mold notwithstanding, wouldn't it be nice to get something new?
Re: Molyneux: "I Struggle To See Anything Amazing Coming Out Of Nintendo"
I agree with him tbh. Right now at least, that could change of course (with a new Zelda game)
Re: Reaction: Wii U's Social Potential Takes Shape
Using the 3DS interface feels a bit, well, lazy to me. I dunno, I'd just liked to have seen a new layout for a new console. I guess if it ain't broke...
Re: Review: Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS)
Should have done that Thousand Year Door sequel I am alone in demanding...
Anyway, sounds awesome
Re: Mass Effect 3 Wii U Content Detailed
I still find it hilarious EA are trying to sell ME3 when a trilogy edition exists for the same price
Re: Miyamoto Puzzled As To Why Anyone Would Want A New F-Zero
This kinda sums up Nintendo's attitude to everything at the moment which isn't NSMB. Very disappointing

Re: Watch: First US Wii U Advert Appears
I feel like I know less about it now than I did before
Re: Wii Owners: Microsoft Wants You To Buy The Xbox 360 This Holiday Season
I'd say 3DS is where it's at this year. Paper Mario beats all
Re: Feature: Halloween Scares on Wii
Ninjabread Man
Re: Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Download Will Be Cheaper Than Retail
Those Basic consoles should come with a warning that you can't actually fit a single game on it :/
Re: Pachter Pours Scorn Over Wii U Sales Projections
As much as I hate to say it, he is right again. 4 games per console given the games at launch is a bit unrealistic...
Re: Wii U Branded Remotes Feature External Sync Button
Because we need that button so often... What was wrong with putting it out of the way? Looks ugly with that red blob sticking out
Re: Isaiah Triforce Johnson Is Already Queuing For His Wii U
He should be friends with David Blaine, they could do ridiculous things together

Re: Wii U In-Game Voice Chat Won't Use GamePad Microphone
I think someone just forgot to change the calendars at Nintendo HQ and it's actually still April there
Re: Charles Martinet Interviewed At Random During Security Breach
That's fantastic. He should have ended on "let's-a go" and got on the plane
Re: Retro Studios Gets a Bigger Office
Moving to a building numbered 12345 and not calling your building "Fake Street" seems like a massive missed opportunity...
Re: Review: Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle (3DS)
Unsurprisingly it's good! Can't wait to play this, haven't been let down by a Layton game yet
Re: The Truth Behind Donkey Kong Country's Opening Level Theme
Now if we just find out who's responsible for the Donkey Konga theme tune...
Re: Rayman Origins Was In The Works For The Wii U
Personally I think Wii U needed to be out this time last year, so I can certainly understand Ubi's logic. At least we get Legends though, so Wii U gets a dose of Rayman manicness
Re: Will LEGO City Undercover Have Multiplayer? Not Even Nintendo Seems to Know
Doesn't bother me at all, it looks too good to pass up
Re: Kevin Butler Actor Seen Near Wii Console... Sony Takes Him to Court
Wow. Just wow...
Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Trailer Shows Off Co-Op, Controlled by Mario Masters
For a minute there I was worried it wouldn't have "baa baa" in the song... said no-one
Love how the Baby Yellow Yoshi just casually eats the massive fire snake, as if it's just a quick snack
Re: Could This Be The Finished Wii U Interface?
If this was the actual main menu then there would be no way to actually launch the game in the drive. Or access anything other than a horde of demos...
More likely it's a prototype eShop
Re: Interview: Charles Martinet, The Voice of Mario
Charles Martinet is the only man who after 15 years of saying "Wahoo" can still get a kick out of it. What a pro
Re: Rumour: GameCube Coming to Wii U Virtual Console
While I won't use it, that's what my GameCube was bought for, making GC games available would be a sensible decision. Then a whole new generation can attempt that damn pinball game in Sunshine
Re: Test Your Professor Layton Knowledge Via This Facebook Quiz
A true gentlemen leaves no Facebook application unsolved. To the internet!
Re: EA Attempts to Justify Selling Last Year's FIFA as a New Game
I'm amazed anyone actually buys it on Wii still

The goat thing is absolutely stupid but still looking forward to this. Although where are the partners?!
Re: Watch the European 3DS Nintendo Direct Here
Love that white 3DS XL
Re: Watch the European 3DS Nintendo Direct Here
The Goomba made it
Re: Watch the European 3DS Nintendo Direct Here
Looking forward to seeing what random location Shibata and his omnipresent Goomba figure have travelled to today
Re: Review: Learn With Pokémon: Typing Adventure (DS)
Paige Down is a cruel joke to name a child. Or a stroke of genius
Re: Japan Is Getting These Awesome Animal Crossing and New Super Mario Bros. 2 3DS Bundles
Been meaning to get a 3DS XL, that Mario one could be the one
Re: First Impressions: Wii U Pro Controller
The fact that there are analogue style triggers which are digital really bothered me, it's a VERY strange design choice
