Wow, that's incredible. Sure, all of you guys interpret this as a bad thing, but I was ecstatic to see that it was up after the initial hour was over. I thought I'd missed it, 'cause my lady was taking forever with our errands (and I was constantly bugging her to hurry up, lest we miss the demo).
When I was able to select a character and stuff, I just thought they'd extended it, or that I'm just stupid about time zones and such. Either way, I got to play, and I was super happy about that.
It would have been better if he was reused for N64 on Wii U Virtual Console. It wouldn't have been an unboxing, but it would at least have felt more relevant.
I love this guy. I love his dedication to his work. I love Anatomy of Super Metroid. I love this quote, "Web content is ephemeral - it can be deleted or lost or whatever, but once it's in print, it's locked down forever."
Not that it matters to me, since I already have a Wuu, but It'd be nice if the included games were on discs, rather than this download code garbage. That is not a proper bundle.
@outburst Yup, he won't exactly be missed. More fun for us, I guess.
I'm pretty excited to see that Splat Zone has options for more zones to control. That sounds fun.
I find it weird that the amiibo focus on getting special gear for single player. I guess they didn't want amiibo owners to be OP online? They could still balance it out; I dunno.
When I saw the Platinum rewards, I thought with such disappointment, "But I already have almost every game I'm interested in on here!" I ended up going with Mario Galaxy 2, since I want a physical copy of Tropical Freeze, if ever I do buy it, and Crashmo and Metroid Fusion are cheaper than Galaxy 2.
I'm very surprised that Mega Man is still available for a fair price. Just seemed like he'd be as popular, if not more so, than Little Mac or Marth. I'm not so foolish as to let myself wait for that; I've already bought him.
Maaaan, what a shame. I never picked up ZombiU, but this sequel sounds really cool. And I understand the respect it gets from those who have enjoyed it; I may well get it, at some point.
It's not exactly what I was expecting (it'd be better if it were an original ride, for example, not a reskin), but any such attention to this great series in the US can only be a good thing
I really don't get why it doesn't even seem to be a consideration. I mean, the original point of the Link character is to be a representation or at least a connection to the human with the controller. It's in the character's name, after all. A link to the player.
If I recall correctly, that was once the point of allowing players to name the character in the first place. Somehow, Link just became his actual name, or whatever. I think a fem-Link would maybe help people to realize that.
Ganon can stay male. It'd be downright annoying if they just gender-swapped everyone, but we know there's no way Nintendo would do that.

Re: Here Are The Tracks You'll Be Driving Around in 90's Arcade Racer
Still have no interest in this game, but I had to check out this article when I saw the beautiful word "Virtua."
Re: Weirdness: Nintendo of America's Splatoon Mess Fest Sits in the 'Bizarre' Category
I think that this was a really good idea.
Re: You Need These Exclusive Sega-Themed Artworks On Your Wall
Such fantastic Shinobi art.

Re: Satoru Iwata Highlights The Planned Connectivity of the Club Nintendo Replacement
@Operative Yuuuuuuup.
Re: Video: Here Is The First Footage Of 90s Arcade Racer Running On The Wii U
My goodness, that's an awful title. I'll bet it took them months to decide on that.
Re: Newly Confirmed Guitar Hero Live Tracks Bring The Spandex And Poodle Perms
@Quorthon I do loves me some Judas Priest.
Re: Video: Here's Proof That Yoshi Made Out of Yarn is the Best Thing Ever
If only they gave him some new voice recordings. I hate all of those noises; just sick of 'em.
Re: Video: Teenagers React To Duck Hunt And The Iconic NES Zapper
That squinty chick Tori's enthusiasm is infectious.
Re: Video: Our Guide to the Splatoon Global Testfire Demo and an Awesome Japanese Trailer
For the love of ink, why didn't they just port that commercial over here?
Nobody wants "YOU'REAKIDYOU'REASQUIDYOU'REAKIDYOU'REASQUID".
Re: Producer Of The Mario Kart Series Appointed As Head Of Nintendo’s Mobile Development Division
@arronishere Yes, but shh.
Re: Play 8-Bit Retro Squid Games While You Wait For An Online Match In Splatoon
I really just don't want the Inkling boy, but for the other mini-games, I must.
Re: Video: Nintendo of America's Splatoon TV Commercial Attempts to Introduce a Theme Song
It is pretty awful.
Re: Nintendo and Universal Studios Announce Theme Park Partnership
All I want is a Kirby-themed food court.
Re: Gallery: Splatoon Development Updates Bring Fashion, amiibo, Game Modes and More Paper
I love the Wintery brand clothing. I'm definitely rocking a knitted cap like that red Inkline one up there all the time.
Re: Updated Documents Point to Multiple amiibo Restocks for North America
Mario is definitely not sold out anywhere around here. Bowser is doing okay, too.
Or I guess no one's buying them.
Re: Feature: A Fit-To-Burst History Of Kirby Games
I like how widely distributed it is. I voted for Dream Land 2, but I could just as easily ended up choosing Adventure, Dream Land 3, or Super Star.
Re: SEGA and M2 Are Happy to Continue 3D Classics "Indefinitely if Sales Are Good"
I'd get Phantasy Star IV 3D in a heartbeat.
Re: Video: The Nintendo 64 Kid Is Taking Unboxing To The Next Level For Taco Bell
It would have been better if he was reused for N64 on Wii U Virtual Console. It wouldn't have been an unboxing, but it would at least have felt more relevant.
Re: Ninterview: Jeremy Parish On Cataloguing The History Of The Game Boy, One Game At A Time
I love this guy. I love his dedication to his work. I love Anatomy of Super Metroid. I love this quote, "Web content is ephemeral - it can be deleted or lost or whatever, but once it's in print, it's locked down forever."
Re: Interview: Bringing Together the 3DS and Game Boy in BOXBOY!
It's Qbby's little diddly feet animation that I especially like.
Re: Famitsu Unleashes Xenoblade Chronicles X Score
Oh! I thought you meant its soundtrack. Ah, well. Numbers. Whatever.
Re: Challenge Mode to Accompany Shovel Knight's Plague of Shadows Update
I'm fine with any good reason to dive back into that gem.
Rather play as Shield Knight than Plague Knight, though I'll take what I can get.
Re: Best Buy Nabs Exclusive Splatoon Wii U Hardware Bundle in North America
Not that it matters to me, since I already have a Wuu, but It'd be nice if the included games were on discs, rather than this download code garbage. That is not a proper bundle.
Re: Interview: AVGN Adventures Developer on Influences, Spinning 'Bad' to Good and Miiverse Screenshots
"Bonus points for those who get the reference!" Uh, yeah. Everyone.
I know there'd be a big market for a game based on Game Grumps and their various, memorable quotes. I wonder if he's the man to do it.
Re: Gallery: These Project X Zone 2 Screens Give a Nice Sample of the Madness Coming in Monolith Soft's RPG
Glad to see that Hotsuma and Kage-Maru made the cut. The former is actually kinda surprising.
Re: New FAST Racing Neo Footage is Set to be Revealed in Summer
Just... waiting...
Re: Community Interview: Affordable Space Adventures - The Developers Answer Your Questions
Eventually.
Re: Gallery: Fresh Xenoblade Chronicles X Footage, Screens and Concept Art Arrive
The Doll concept art... just... mmm!
Re: A Splash of New Details Emerge on Splatoon's Development and Inspiration
@outburst Yup, he won't exactly be missed. More fun for us, I guess.

Re: Video: Reminisce and Watch the History of Super Mario Intro Scenes
Well, they messed up right off the bat; the intro screen in Super Mario Bros. (and others) is completely silent. I thought everyone knew that.
My guess is that this was done to eliminate confusion from viewers who wouldn't know any better... but whatever.
Re: Classic Arcade Shooter Ultratron Is Inserting Credits On May 14th
YES. This is important.
Re: The Mechs of Xenoblade Chronicles X Are Named "Skells" in its Western Release
I will continue to call them dolls, anyway.
Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reckons "It Would Be Cool" if Rare's Banjo Was Voted in as Super Smash Bros. DLC
Nah. Nope. Nuh-uh. Shovel Knight or bust!
Re: Wii U Horror Title Fatal Frame Confirmed For Western Release Later This Year
Ahh, this is so great. My fiancé loves Fatal Frame, and I've never played it. Seems a natural fit for da Wuu.
Re: Welcome to amiibo Tap, Nintendo's Retro Box Of Chocolates
@Parasky I do. That's actually how I first experienced both Ice Climber and Balloon Fight.
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
When I saw the Platinum rewards, I thought with such disappointment, "But I already have almost every game I'm interested in on here!" I ended up going with Mario Galaxy 2, since I want a physical copy of Tropical Freeze, if ever I do buy it, and Crashmo and Metroid Fusion are cheaper than Galaxy 2.
Re: Review: BOXBOY! (3DS eShop)
Well... I liked it. Agreed about the game always being in teach mode, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it, overall.
Re: Video: New Nintendo TV Commercial Focuses on amiibo and Support for Multiple Games
I'm very surprised that Mega Man is still available for a fair price. Just seemed like he'd be as popular, if not more so, than Little Mac or Marth. I'm not so foolish as to let myself wait for that; I've already bought him.
Re: Fresh Legend of Kay Anniversary Screenshots Stalk Into View
It's so weird how people seem to care about this nobody anthropomorphic mascot.
Re: Cancelled ZombiU Sequel Prototype Featured Co-Op and Alternate Routes
Maaaan, what a shame. I never picked up ZombiU, but this sequel sounds really cool. And I understand the respect it gets from those who have enjoyed it; I may well get it, at some point.
Re: Feature: The Best Pro Wrestling Games That the N64 Has to Offer
Aww, I played the hell out of WWF: Attitude, mostly making joke characters.
Re: Weirdness: Brave Hunters Can Soon Ride a Monster Hunter Themed Roller Coaster
It's not exactly what I was expecting (it'd be better if it were an original ride, for example, not a reskin), but any such attention to this great series in the US can only be a good thing
Re: Tachyon Project Blasting to Wii U for Some Twin-Stick Shooting Action
Oh, I suppose it couldn't hurt.
Re: Game Jam Tasks Developers With Creating A Zelda Title Starring A Female Link

Re: We Have Shigeru Miyamoto To Thank For The Super Stable 3D Of The New Nintendo 3DS
It's the only reason I'm even considering the purchase. Thing is, though, I'd still probably never use it.
Re: Iwata: Nintendo NX Will Surprise People And Change Their Video Gaming Lives
"What do you think Nintendo has its up sleeve with the NX?"
Guys...
Re: Weirdness: Can A Star Fox Barrel Roll Work In Space?
This is actually really cool. I love PBS.
Re: Gallery: Nintendo Celebrates Women's History Month In Its Own Unique Way
@Quorthon @TJF588 Yup, and I liked her blurb, too.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo's Heading For a Period of Major Change, and We Can't Fight It
Strange that the "well-known video game brand" graphic doesn't depict the original Game Boy.
