I picked up a broken NES at a thrift store the other day for $2.50 (came with a seemingly functional gamepad and copy of Super Mario Bros). Maybe I'll gut a toaster and put it in the NES... after all, that wouldn't be sacrificing a functional system!
@Nekketsu3D Why? Are you a huge Goemon fan? I was interested until I read the review.
I read about the N64 one in a playback article of some Nintendo Power issue. It looked pretty good. Hope that becomes available on Wii/Wii U VC at some point.
Pendleton Ward said in an interview with Nintendo Power that he intentionally made it Zelda II-like. I doubt it will be as hard as Zelda II, though.
Anyway this does look like it's shaping up to be a reasonably good game, which is exceptional by licensed game standards.
On 18 February 2009, following the success of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo announced the formation of Project Sora, a subsidiary that will develop a new title to be directed by Sakurai.
It was for one project. Everyone working at Project Sora is probably back at Sora Ltd.
Well I suppose that makes things slightly better. Still, it's ridiculous that you CAN'T CHARGE THE THING OUT OF THE BOX. Perhaps 2 separate bundles for people who own a charger and those who don't would be more appropriate?
I got this game a few days ago for my birthday. It's awesome! Of course, once I get past the single-player offerings it probably won't be as awesome. Sad.
Meh. I hope NSMBU has online co-op, that would be cool... since it has a nice Miiverse feature I figure they're going to make online co-op too. And Nintendo Land should at least have a couple games compatible with online. But really, is it necessary for Pikmin? I believe not.
The next time I'll be getting games is my birthday, which is right before July. I'll just choose when to register them based off of this. Thank you very much!
About time. Foosball is the best thing that ever happened to sports and is about to be the best thing that ever happened to games. Time to get ready for some hardcore foosballin'.

Re: Pokémon X & Y
I CANNOT WAIT! So psyched!
Re: Jeopardy!
this probably isn't worth $50, should have been a combo with a Wheel of Fortune game. $25000 pyramid would also be good.
Re: Talking Point: Time for Wii U to Treat us Like Adults
Nice article. I didn't even think about the effects it could impose on small/indie developers; originally I thought it was just a useless policy.
Re: EA Attempts to Justify Selling Last Year's FIFA as a New Game
that's just unethical
Shame on you, EA and Nintendo!

Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 with Nintendo Life - Today!
This is gonna be great!
And yeah, this should be a regular thing.
Now, to charge my 3DS...

Re: Nintendo Plans to Blow Away World Record in Honour of Kirby
This is gonna be really bizarre. Hope someone films it
And if Reggie, Iwata and Miyamoto aren't blowing bubbles I'm gonna be mad!

Re: Nintendo Power Magazine Looks Set to Shut Down
I really hope the last issue coincides with the release of the Wii U.
That would truly be a great finale.
Also I hope there'll be a new Nintendo magazine launched in the US to replace it... $100 for a year of Official Nintendo Magazine?! Outrageous!
If not I'll have to start reading some crap about cars or something. I NEED MY MAGAZINES!
Re: Michael Pachter Admits That Wii U Pro Controller Comments Were an 'Educated Guess'
It never sounded to me like he was stating fact.
Re: Rise of the Guardians Set to Protect the Holidays on Wii U
I'm predicting a 4 out of 10, mostly for short plot and a wealthy amount of interface glitches.
Re: New Trailer for Adventure Time on DS and 3DS

Ooh, sounds fun. I think I'll spend my 5 bucks on this instead of Sakura Samurai this weekend.

Re: 3DS Patent Can Tell When You've Returned Home
Why?
Re: Review: Mad Dog McCree (3DS eShop)
The only reasons to buy this game are nostalgia and pure unbridled insanity.

Re: Mario Kart 7 Goes on the Road with Big Time Rush
@Retro_on_theGo It's British, but it's very popular across the pond as well.
Re: Mario Kart 7 Goes on the Road with Big Time Rush
nintendo, what.
hey I just watched the commercial and it's actually not bad.
whoa.
Re: Miyamoto: Nintendo Focused on Fun, Not Competition
He's not saying shooters can't be fun and focused on competition, he's saying E3 can't be fun and focused on competition.
I think.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Plays it Cool Over Wii U GamePad Battery
Wait, didn't we already know about the Miiverse thing?
Hm.
Anyway, I don't plan on gaming for more than 5 hours at a time...
Re: Pikmin 3 Will Not Include Online Multiplayer
Meh.
I hope NSMBU has online co-op, that would be cool... since it has a nice Miiverse feature I figure they're going to make online co-op too. And Nintendo Land should at least have a couple games compatible with online.
But really, is it necessary for Pikmin? I believe not.
Re: Bowser and Bison Join Wreck-It Ralph in Therapy
@Vintage Cooler than Samus IMO.
Hooray for semi-obscure games!
Anyway, I played the flash version of "Fix-it-Felix" and it's actually pretty fun.
Re: E3 2012: 3DS Software Showcase Trailer Round-Up
NSMB2 looks bad, but I really want Paper Mario, it still looks great.
Re: Bowser and Bison Join Wreck-It Ralph in Therapy
Samus at 1:49 running behind Ralph!

Re: Reaction: Nintendo Finally Arrives Online with Wii U
Just watched Nintendo Direct... I never thought I could be this excited for Wii U...
Re: E3 2012: E3 Starts Early With Nintendo Direct
The plot thickens!
I hope it's not too long though, because I don't want to be interrupted by pesky dinner.
Re: E3 2012: Watch the Nintendo Press Conference Live Here
I'll be watching both here and on Nintendo's site... AT THE SAME TIME! MUAHAHAHAHA
Re: June's Club Nintendo Rewards are Here
Nope. I'll just save up for folders or something stupid like that.

Re: The Inflatable Kart Now Works With Your Nintendo 3DS
I like how in the screenshots showing a 3DS, Mario Kart 7 was in 3rd person view.
Re: Mario Tennis Takes Second in Japanese Charts

Re: Go On, Judge a Game By Its Cover
@RevolverLink Yeah, I was thinking of that. That was an awesome minigame, it worked great with the gyro controls...
Re: Ocarina of Time Makes a Good Bedtime Story
I stopped at the part where there were spoilers for me
That was adorable
Re: Watch E3 Live Online, On TV and On the Go
I'll be watching. Thankfully I'm homeschooled, so if I get up early I can finish school at like 9 PM.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Open (3DS)
I'm excited.
BTW, how do you switch between gyro and normal controls?
I'm not planning on touching the gyro controls.
Re: Colour-Based AR Patent is Hot Stuff
@squirrelguys Yeah, I was thinking of Castle of Magic when I read this
