@Raylax Kid Icarus cards you say... I'll take them
@Cerberus_Azdin We were all definitely around that area at times! That or in the Wii U booth (I spent most of the day in there haha). Just bad timing I guess
I've seen this pop up on so many sites now I'm beginning to believe it's true. Would give me an excuse to keep collecting AR cards too (120 and counting...)
Rayman Legends looks and sounds fun, but like you said, Murphy isn't that fun to use. And seeing as you have to use him at times in single player, there's a real chance the game won't be fun for the single player
I can't speak Japanese, or read Japanese, or even get the gist of Japanese, so even with a region-unlocked console I'd be unlikely to buy Japanese games
Interesting theory, one that the more I think about it makes sense. "Core" gamers probably won't want all the plastic stuff and NintendoLand, whereas a "casual" gamer who is maybe only getting NintendoLand and Wii Fit U gets everything they will ever need in the box in one go
I'd like to think the Zelda 2014 story is true, if only because it sounds like a true realisation of what Zelda can be. We'll see, 2014 is the absolute earliest we'll see anything either way
@Vonseux I hate to say it, but that's my thought exactly. It's a worrying situation when arguably one of the biggest games is a game that has already been out a year and it's a game that alienated fans of the franchise. Hopefully releases pick up post launch, got to remain optimistic
@Haywired Most if not all the games we've featured here use the touch screen independently from the other screen. Take for example, Layton. The touch screen is used for puzzles whereas the other screen is used for animation, these never happen at the same time, so there's no problem with needing to look at both at the same time
Depends what a "tiny bit of latency" means. If it's microseconds, that's fine. Minutes, probably not so. And ME3 isn't a great benchmark anyway, it's being handled by an external port team. Just got to wait until finished games start getting reviewing I guess!
Interesting that they have split the dev team so decidedly. Wonder if NSMB2 will end up more creative with NSMBU being the classic style of level design...
So basically the guy said Nintendo are en route to becoming like SEGA who ended up like that because they made missteps. And then he went on to say Nintendo haven't made missteps... Yep, he knows what he's talking about ¬¬
I'm still baffled by BioWare releasing but not including ME2 (ME1 is tied up with Microsoft fyi) this but at least it has a passable ending on it now...

Hopefully the Paper Mario team get to work on Wii U straight after Sticker Star

Re: Events: Nintendo Life Is Coming to Eurogamer Expo 2012
See you all there tomorrow!
Re: Pressure Group Makes Fresh Calls For Nintendo To Embrace Mobile Phones
I think if they took a minute to consider why we buy Nintendo systems over the competition, they'd realise this was a foolish idea

Re: Hands On: Ubisoft's Wii U Launch Hits

Re: Witness Layton's 'Last Adventure' In New 3DS Trailer
Looks like this is it, but what an ending this will be!
Also, Emmy's last line translated - "Goodbye Professor Layton. It was fun travelling with you..."
Re: Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed Lines Up On Wii U Starting Grid
The first one of these was great, can't wait to play this
Re: Nintendo: Wii U Basic Bundle Designed To Attract Core Gamers

Re: Rumour: Grand Theft Auto V Coming To Wii U
Given the Bayonetta 2 news I'm willing to believe anything right now. Although it probably still is a fake
Re: Talking Point: Are Wii U Games Going To Be Too Expensive?
Too expensive, especially in the UK. £50 for a game is outrageous in my opinion
Re: Nintendo: There's No Such Thing As Too Much Mario
It might not be killing the franchise, but it's certainly killing the NSMB titles
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life - Today! Again!
Just raced there, train crossed at the wrong time so everyone was queueing up, was pretty funny
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life - Today! Again!
Only 2 of us in the Battle room, come join so the Miis can say something other than "Let's wait for more players!"
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life - Today! Again!
Waiting for a group on Battle Mode! Come join!
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life - Today! Again!
Looks like it's time to start! See you all online
Re: This Rayman Legends Footage Seriously Rocks
They better do a Rayman version of Bohemian Rhapsody for one of the levels...
Re: "Nintendo Direct Wii U Preview" Confirmed For 13th September
Looking forward to seeing Shibata's giant Goomba imperiously looking over his shoulder throughout again
Re: Wave Race Trademark Resurfaces
Seems like the sort of thing that would work well as part of NintendoLand as a re-introduction to the series
Re: New Professor Layton Title Confirmed for iOS and Android
If Layton has a son, who's the mother...
Re: Feature: The Murky World of Anonymous Sources

Re: More Tantalising Wii U Pricing Rumours Emerge Online
That expensive one better come with a Non-Specific Action Figure...
Re: Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask To Hit Europe October 26th
@LordOtakWiiU Nintendo publish it so it will be a downloadable title, despite it actually being a third-party developed title
Re: Some Wii U Accessories For Your Christmas Stocking
You know, that charging station looks pretty smart and compact
As for the wheel, that looks stupid
Re: Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask To Hit Europe October 26th
Better finish up Last Spectre!
Re: New Professor Layton Title Confirmed for 3DS
I'd be disappointed if this was it, hoping they make some more films regardless
Re: Rookie Developer Shepherding Mass Effect 3 Onto Wii U

Re: Rest Easy, New Characters Are Coming To Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U
Phosphora! And make Pit's taunts witty one-liners from Uprising haha
Re: Feature: In Defence of Super Mario Sunshine
It's about time I went back to Sunshine. It was the game that made me buy a GameCube, and I loved every minute of it. Superb game
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia is Coming to the West
Time to get importing!
Re: Rayman Legends is Exclusive to Wii U
This is easily my most wanted Wii U game, looks incredible

Re: Feature: Let's Celebrate Kirby's Spin-Offs
Ah Air Ride. Many long nights were spent at Uni playing City Trial mode, it's surprisingly addictive!
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Spooked Into 2013 For North America
This is becoming like Pikmin 3 now... At this rate, there's a very real possibility it will end up on 3DS2!
Re: Could The Wii U GamePad Suffer From Latency?

Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)
Sounds good and all, but with NSMBU coming, I was hoping for something... new
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Four
Mike, that Pit stop joke is terrible haha
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 was Once Called NSMB Gold
Interesting that they have split the dev team so decidedly. Wonder if NSMB2 will end up more creative with NSMBU being the classic style of level design...

Re: 3DS XL Represents 'The Progress of Technology'
Why doesn't anyone make transparent hardware/accessories any more...

Re: Europe's Club Nintendo Gets Real-Life Mario Kart Trophies
So... about that 15000 stars deposit you all wanted to make to my account...
Re: New Super Smash Bros. Is a 'Big Priority' for Namco
I really hope this collab doesn't mean we get Namco characters in the game. Look what happened to Mario Sports Mix with Square...
Re: What Do You Make of this Hello Kitty Sonic Crossover?
My eyes! They burn!
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Pre-Order Bonus is Golden
Fill that coin with chocolate and you've got yourself a sale Nintendo

I think we're looking at Mario 3D Land levels of 1-ups in NSMB2!
Re: Amazon UK Lists Wii U at £199.99
I wonder if they have to stand by that £199.99 pre-order promise now?
Re: Tomb Raider Not Coming to Wii U
Dammit all...
