Empty, colorless world, twitchy controls, lack of secrets, terrible game map, camera issues, strict progression, fiddly side-quests... I think this game is pretty well superseded and borderline unplayable. No, I'm not 'trolling', I'm being sincere.

Let's see if they have the guts to actually put it on the market and face the direct questions of authenticity.

"...it can say that moral survey scores came back as a record low."

Should be "morale".

Don't you think the game is a bit stiff in the control? I did. And it suffers from unfairness because things happen off-screen and you cannot react fast enough to them.

It was too popular and was taking sales away from inferior games such as SMB3.

These are actually quite pathetic in their way...

I've never liked Ubisoft. You can never tell just WHAT quality of game they're going to put out. They have a terrible, inconsistency that makes me avoid them, even at the cost of their best games.

Fan input at the beta stage is OK, anywhere else is misguided,

@Luffymcduck
You have an attitude I appreciate. New software is required for the future's classics (and subsequent rereleases...)

It's probably the best Golf game on the GB. I've got the real one laying around somewhere...

Most people who play the newest and most modern games now would have stuck their nose up at a 2D Metroid in the era where 3D was on the rise. It's only because 2D is acceptable once more that you all THINK you would have liked it at the time.

I didn't like this game all that much. Some of the bosses were worse than a chore - they were like a sick joke.

Iwata did not have to do this, so I think it is a nice gesture to those who purchased the 3DS so early. Acknowledgment of a mistake is something large companies hate to do, but here is an open letter! BP never did as much during the worst ecological disaster in US history!

Those who disagree with the idea that the 3DS is a failure have a lot to explain. How will the 3DS reverse the trend that the N64 and GameCube failed to reverse? Iwata is convinced, why shouldn't you be?

I can't see how it can do any better. Besides, there aren't enough people willing to pay $400+ to play Clinton-era software on a smaller screen.

If they put both the Clinton-era games (OoT and MM) on one 3DS then maybe it would seem like a fair offer.

Single save file? Then the game should be half of its usual price. How do I figure? Well most games give you at least TWO profiles with which to use. What if your brother or sister wants their own file? Buy another cart? OK, then halve the RRP.

Hopefully you can drive through pixelated corpses and pixelated crucifixes.

I had no idea a single 3DS game release could have so much impact. Is it the suffering library of the system that causes this big backlash?

Diddy Kong is my favourite SSBB character too. It's a nice surprise, this game is.

If that is true, then video games really do change lives - not waste them.

I thought it was Jimmy and Bimmy - or was that corrected at some point?

I watched some guys playing this in an arcade in Italy when I was very young. Makes you think...

@Bass_X0
I'd give you a 7/10 if you did that - it's funny.

I think they should put prices up when the demand increases as it has now.

What difference does that make? The Wii U will just be another console that Valve over-promises/under-delivers on.

I played through HL2 and I can't even remember it now.

Well it's the best way for Nintendo to bring the balance sheet back to zero for the Virtual Boy project - it still must owe them a fair bit. Besides, it might give the disgraced inventor a moment of joy.

I never liked this one, and it was the one Miyamoto wasn't involved in if I remember things correctly. The vehicles are like a bad idea from Alex Kidd.

I thought the GameCube was an exciting console because of the eccentric colours and design. The XBOX original, while pretty mean looking, aged horribly and reminds me of some of the relics from the 90s.

I don't understand why people are lining up to pay for an embarrassingly delayed and uncertain service for a premature, over-priced handheld.

This game is terrific. It has a lot of 'depth' as well.

"Apple's devices have created a generation of gamers that no longer believe that they should pay high prices for their software."

The subtext in this excerpt (intentional or otherwise) is that iPhone users rarely pay for their software. Jailbreakers are the majority in my experience.

It would be so much better if it were in HD.

They've been trying to install new IPs, but the constant requests for old remakes and resurrections inevitably delays these. I only hope that the people asking for OoT and Pit etc. aren't the ones asking for new IPs as well.

Remember this game when you ask for zombies in your upcoming franchises, people.

Eww. That bad huh?

Anything to draw attention away from the software itself!

Well if this article's assertions are true, the title of the game really could have been 'The Legend of Midna: Twilight Princess'.

Fortified Zone is an excellent game title. It tells you everything you need to know while explaining nothing.

I really enjoyed this when I hired it in 1998. It had the speed of MarioKart without the some of the on track annoyances.
