Having Charizard be his own character is something they should have done 2 versions ago. I am honestly a little ticked off they can put the effort in for "another" metroid character but not make it be somebody else in the the metroid universe... Idk maybe like Dark Samus or Ridley, or even a space pirate for god's sake.
I want Zero Mission over Fusion. I already have Fusion as an Ambassador game and it seems impossible to get Zero Mission as a hard copy now unless you want to shell out $100's.
Maybe if Nintendo advertised it's console and games like PS4 does. I ahve yet to see a commercial for the new Donkey Kong Country game. This is possible system seller, and yet they don't advertise it.... Brillant!
It is about time. I can't believe it didn't over take it a while ago. It really shows how much the Wii U has sold, considering it had a one year start.... Such pathetic sales Nintendo.
I have never played DKC 2 or 3, but from the gameplay I have watched on youtube, it looks as if Donkey Kong isn't even playable in the last 2 games. Why would that be?
Now this was one of those games I randomly expected to be an "out of nowhere" hit with a 9 out of 10, especially when the original game actually was received well.
I have never played Super Smash Bros. Brawl so much in my life! It feels like I just got the game, except I have had it since day 1. Now that is what makes a video game great! When you can go back and replay this many years later and it never gets old.
Why doesn't Nintendo advertise? In the past month I have seen over 60 commericals for Xbox One and PS4 combined and not 1 not 1!!!! Wii U commerical. This is why the Wii U is failing, right there folks.
@donkeykong64 That will be tough to do! In my eyes Donkey Kong Country Returns is the best platformer I have ever played in my life right next to the original Super Mario Bros.
Didn't expect that low of a score. I didn't really like the A to B style in Mario Party 9. It was a breath of fresh air for the series, but the replay value went way down for me, due to that aspect.
I think Nintendo will be luck to get 2nd place and it will be a god forsaken miracle if Nintendo wins this generation. Xbox One isn't looking to hot though If you don't have a Wii U, I highly reccomend you get one this holiday. It is a fabulous system!
Too low of a score. I would definitely give it at least an 8.5. Great game!
If this is one of your major gripes:
"it recycles so much from its predecessors and does absolutely nothing to improve upon them"
^^^ Call of Duty says hi. And yet Call of Duty has gotten great reviews across the board for the last 6 releases.
It is kind of off topic for today, but I would really like to see an NL review of this. I already have the game, I would just like to see what they think of it.
I was going to get the season pass but I'm not going to pay $40 for it now. I already paid $20 for it from Gamestop and the code was for Xbox 360, but they wouldn't let me take it back, so now if I buy the season pass on the eshop it would be $40 dollars out of my pocket.
Such an enormous game! I played well over 30 hours and am not even close to 50% through the game! And I beat the main story in about 5 hours, so I have been cracking away at the large percentage of the game for over 25 hours and stil not at 50%. This is one of the main reasons I love these games! So much to do!

Re: Hideki Konno Emphasizes That Mario Kart 8 Balancing Means It's Not All About Luck
It is about time they balance out the items. Mario Kart Wii was a joke compared to 7. The blue shell was relentless in Mario Kart Wii.

Re: Nintendo Shows Off April's Game Boy Advance Wii U Virtual Console Line-up

Re: Review: Super Mario Kart (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
I cannot play the 2D Mario Kart games. The driving/manuvering perspective is so awkward if you grew up playing on MK64, Double Dash, and beyond.
Re: Super Metroid is 20 Years Old Today
Still holds up amazingly today. Absolute perfection of game design and gameplay.

So how does the whole Red Trainer work? Does it use your file from red when you get to him in Gold/silver/crystal?
Re: Feature: Lifting the Curtain on Game Ratings and the Headache of Worldwide Releases
Wow didn't know the other countries had such a tough time. I'm glad I live in the USA. The others seem like a pain for publishers.
Re: Review: Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (3DS eShop)
I still pop this into my Gameboy Color from time to time. Next to the first 2 gen Pokémon games, this was my most played game back in the day.

Re: The Next Batman Game Is Arkham Knight, And No, There Won't Be A Wii U Version
@ThreadShadow The Arkham games are definitely not for the young audience.
Re: The Next Batman Game Is Arkham Knight, And No, There Won't Be A Wii U Version
Well I have a reason to get a PS4 now. I would litterally buy a PS4 solely for this game.

Re: Review: Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! (Wii U)

Re: VGX Award Ceremony To Include New Footage of an Upcoming Wii U Game
Watch it be like Wii U Music or something
I want it to be either footage for Super Smash Bros. or for an entirely unannounced game like Metroid or Zelda for Wii U.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty
I have never played Super Smash Bros. Brawl so much in my life! It feels like I just got the game, except I have had it since day 1.

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st November (North America)
I like downloading some games, but I have to have my Mario games in physical copy.

Re: Review: Call of Duty: Ghosts (Wii U)
@Urbanhispanic Yes Black Ops 2 would be the better choice.
Re: Poll: As the PS4 Arrives, What Do You Think of the 'New Gen' Environment for Wii U?
