Psh, already imported Little Mac, but still good news.

Man, I'm not buying these. The stages seem cool, but I'm not even playing Smash, right now.

I have been meaning to get Marth...

Complete with an incredibly cheesy character theme end credits song, I hope.

"All of [the characters] appear to have had new artistic makeovers."

Not... really.

@Azikira Yeah, I was hoping it'd be that guy's voice.

YEAH, THE FINAL LAP!

He forgot the hyphen.

Oh, my god, I love Pocky & Rocky!

But, um... who the heck is Becky? And, oh. It's a GBA game, not the original. Judging from the comments, it's not nearly as good as the original. Hmm.

In today's news, nothing has changed, but we have learned that things have the possibility of changing.

I... actually don't disagree, at least not entirely. Dedicated home consoles do seem to be on the way out, but who really knows?

Hoo boy.

Oh, well. This makes it easier to focus on Xenoblade during the holidays.

@Vader_MIB Checking Nintendo Life before going into work; what do you mean?

Ugh, fantastic timing for me to learn about this; I just got to work.

Hoo, boy. Think I'd rather have a based on actual Monster Hunter than Stories. It shouldn't be so bad, so long as the Monster allies don't talk, or anything.

And only two of them are mine.

Oh, look at me, I'm Volcanox, I just wanna brag (I guess that's what you're doing?) that I can't make levels 'cause I don't want the game!

What. Ever. Man.

Lemme know when it hits Greenville, SC.

@VanillaLake I think the GamePad is a fine controller, and I love using it, sometimes over the Pro Controller, as I don't need my glasses to see the TV or anything. The only bad thing about it in particular is the pathetic battery life.

@VanillaLake No one would have been confused about the GamePad and what it does, had that been the case.

Smooth Moves is the best. I love that one so much. I actually ended up playing Pyoro more than even the Microgames.

Wario is one of my favourite characters in all of Nintendom, alongside Samus and Kirby. I much prefer his classic look over the helmet and denim he sports in WarioWare, but I love him all the same.

One of the best samples of his character was in the booklet for Wario World. All of his explanations for the different aspects of the game were just brimming with personality. And then there's Wario Land 4, with its expert animation adding to all the amusement.

Why does it make "perfect sense for Nintendo not to capitalise on the success of such a well-received title"?

That sentence is also missing a period at its end.

It's the anniversary of Super Mario Brothers, and yet the brother is an unlock available only in one visual/play style.

Just not sure if I should open my Pac-Man, Mega Man, and Sonic amiibo for Mario Maker. Don't know how hard they are to unlock traditionally.

Ha, Mario's Time Machine.

Yay, chicken Arwing!

I love how Mario Maker even uses music from Mario Paint. I love it.

@RupeeClock Bam!

Dorkly's way ahead of ya:

Aboot tiem.

Welp, time to wait and see...

@spacejump Feels fine to me. Doesn't bother me one bit.

@Kobeskillz I don't think Ron DelVillano is 15, though...

@MJKOP Heck, I actually use the D-Pad for some 3D games. Not usually, but sometimes. REmake comes to mind.

I've never understood why people ever use the analogue stick over the D-Pad in a side-scrolling game.

"Ugh, NOA is worthless, Reggie should be fired, how dare they not give us [insert specific request that is being released or done for other territories], I hate you NOA, Wii U will be my last Nintendo console..."

Something totally awesome like this happens

"Bless you, Reggie. Good move, NOA."

Humans are so fickle. In all seriousness, I am much more pleased with Wii U being a part of the Starlight entertainment units than this one kid's wish to see a proper president, but that's a sweet gesture, too.

I want to vote for Lost Levels or Sunshine, one of the ones I really enjoyed and know won't get a lot of votes, but I know full and well that it has to be World.

Of course it's World.

It's always been World.

World is the best.

Most likely, it always will be.

@Aurumonado Guess I'm the opposite. I find MatPat obnoxious and irritating (You wanna talk far-reaching? That's all Game Theory is), but Gaijin Goombah's speculative rants don't bother me in the slightest. I mainly like Aki's Pixel Pets, but he's cool, too.

@Not_Soos I thought the same thing.

Neat. I guess I'll get this. Can't imagine it takes up much space.

Are you a wizard?

Boo-hoo. Get better, suck less.

Wa-wa-wait. People are upset about this? How? Why? It's just a little gag. No preaching, no gay-bashing, nothing forced. It's supposed to be silly and unexpected.

I thought we were making progress as a people. Apparently, progress is slow.

"YIPPEE!"

I'm getting less excited about this. Not because it looks bad, or even out of bitterness at the delay. Call it a symptom of Project Cars syndrome. I have to be less excited, as a defense mechanism in case the Wuu version ends up getting canned.

"A new 8-Bit JRPG..." English developer. So, not a JRPG, then. Got it. This honestly does seem kinda interesting.

This is pretty worth it, but I'm a little bothered that it's only ten tracks off of the OST. Oh, well, it is what it is. Just wish it were at least twenty tracks. I get that they'll want to do a full soundtrack release with all 100+ tracks (didn't they confirm that number?) and so I understand the limitation. If only it were slightly less limited.

But hey, the flash drive itself is cool enough. They might as well have not mentioned the teeny handful of songs and left that a surprise all its own.

Eh, I think it'll be okay. Just makes me want to play Xenoblade X, based solely on watching it.

Well, then...

That sizzle reel was pretty sexy. Of course II'm most looking forward to Shantae, Shovel Knight, FAST Racing Neo, and RIVE.

I've never even heard of this.

So, my guess is that Shovel Knight 2, or whatever it'll be called, will have co-op 2-player options from the start.

Fingers crossed for Shield Knight being playable in the sequel.

Okay, first, SQUEAL.

And second, when you said it unlocks content, I initially thought you meant that it unlocks the character in Smash Bros. That would actually have been a brilliant approach to allowing access to DLC characters. Not like in a restrictive way where you would have to buy the figure. More like if you buy and scan the figure, you wouldn't have to pay the four or five bucks for the DLC character, but that'd still be an option if you didn't want the toy.

I think that'd be cool, anyway.

@IceClimbers You 'bout to make me squeal again. Nintendo sure seems to like Game Grumps, and it fills me with joy.
