you should be jailed

getting old sucks

If we count Japanese games, VPW2 is the best wrestling game on the N64. If not, I give Revenge the advantage over No Mercy just based on the roster alone. It lacks the bells and whistles of No Mercy, but it has 3X as many great wrestlers to play as.

"Sorry, I'm still bitter Splatoon won't have voice chat. Such a Nintendo move..."

This is probably the one issue that will stop me from buying that game. Even playing MK8 without voice chat is horrible. How do I know I am playing against real people? They may as well all be bots as there is no ability to communicate with each other. It really detracts from the experience.

"Your statement is baseless, like all of your trolling. I love your avatars, which give no hints that you're a troll, either"

Says the guy whose username is a comic book superhero and who uses a photo of Larry David.

I thought a Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm fan would be more clever than to be the pot calling the kettle (Leon) black.

I wouldn't call their statements "trolls" either. They are just giving an opinion. If you haven't noticed, its probably a 50/50 split in terms of people who are upset about this situation and people who think its a good thing.

@Obito_Sigma

I remember some people thinking that Zelda was going to be released LAST Christmas...

@Peach64

Agreed on that quote. People who repeat that phrase ad nauseam have really drank the Nintendo Kool-Aid.

On that note, can we also retire the terms "evergreen", "fan service" and the newly created "pillar" from the Nintendo fan lexicon?

@Kifa

Xenoblade is a niche JRPG title that is a Nintendo exclusive, and only the second game in the series. It's not going to have the mass appeal to the general public as a Zelda game does. Most Zelda titles on Nintendo home consoles are usually some of the biggest and best games of each generation. The name "Zelda" has some pull for consumers, but Xenoblade does not. It's a certainty that game will sell far less than either Smash Bros and MK8, both of which were major reasons for people to pick up a Wii U in 2014 (and even then, they didn't boost the sales that much).

So far, Nintendo doesn't have a Smash Bros/MK8 quality release on the Wii U for 2015.

@vitalemrecords

Of course this hurts Nintendo. I'm sure there were people who planned on picking up a Wii U this Christmas to play this game, and now they won't be. From what we know so far, this game was the only "big" title coming out for the console this year/holiday season, and now it's not. What game can replace this on the release schedule? Nothing.

And before you go there, no, Xenoblade is not a big release for those outside of the hardcore Nintnendo fanbase.

@NbaJunkie

Its obvious that Zelda Wii U will be delayed until 2017/2018 and release on the NX. If you can't handle that fact, GTFO!

@Ootfan98

He's recovering from his posts on the Sony hardware sales article a day ago

I wonder if she will take the fake 'urban cadence' she raps with as well?

@DESS-M-8

"haven't you wondered why nintendo first party schedule is slow?"

I know exactly why. Because they have limited resources, no third party support, and they single handily have to support both the Wii U and 3DS with somewhat constant releases. It's not easy to crank out games.

LOL @ thinking third party studios (which have abandoned Nintendo the past decade) are quietly busy working on titles for a console that might not even be released in 3 years, while completely ignoring current generation Nintendo hardware!!! Most ridiculous idea I have ever heard of!!!

I guess we will see PS4 releases taper off in the coming months as developers secretly start making games for the PS5!!

I want to play a game featuring a lesbian black female Link who is a paraplegic

First rule of Monster Hunter: You do not talk about Monster Hunter.

@DESS-M-8

I RRREEEEEAAALLLLLY hope you don't actually believe what you just wrote. That is one of the most out there, insane ideas I have ever seen posted here!

EA and Ubisoft have been working on NX titles since 2013....I love it!!

@JaxonH

"I'm not arguing other games. Just Monster Hunter. And there is no comparable game, because Monster Hunter is so intense in battle you you're playing based on muscle memory. And for a fact I know I've played more than 99% of the people here. You can check the MH thread and see we just pulled a 10 hour hunt yesterday. I know the game like the back of my hand and no, one screen isn't enough for all the information you need to constantly reference"

Lots of amiibo collectors are going to have to ask their parents for an increase in their monthly allowance

Last month was Black History month and Nintendo didn't celebrate it at all!

I guess they didn't have time to create any black characters to use in a campaign. Maybe in another 30 years they will give it a shot.

I find Kevin James more offensive than Adam Sandler.

Every morning Kevin James wakes up and thanks God for taking Chris Farley's life, thus allowing him to have a career.

At one point or another I've seen at least half the users here say that the day Nintendo games are on mobile, they would be finished with Nintendo.

Bye guys!!!

@GloverMist

I'm sure someone will make a joke about how you are lucky that you don't know.

However...honestly? Yes, it is bad. Do you own a tv?

Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore are classics, but I couldn't care less about the rest of his movies.

Actually I saw That's My Boy and it wasn't so awful. 95% of his recent films are family movies and this one was more similar to his first two films.

I wish this guy all the best in regards to learning to speak Japanese. It's difficult, but once he visits Japan and finds a waifu all that effort will have been worth it!

@Gamer83

I too thought 3D World was overhyped and not nearly as good as people pretend it is. Other than a couple of tricky levels the game is basically a cake walk, and it has no soul. I beat it, made it to maybe the second secret world, then just set it aside. Eventually I sold it after a couple months.

I still play SMW, SMB 1-3, SM64 and Sunshine regularly (in that order), but 3D World was completely forgettable imo.

@BassLostie

You ever think that maybe the guys making it want it to be multi-platform to reach the widest audience possible?

Fascinating stuff

Nintendo delivers another A+ title to their VC!

Given that Majora's Mask 3D was the series' fastest selling handheld title to date, the popularity of the unique gameplay pioneered here could certainly be worth another visit in a new entry

I bet the author of this piece was at one time an interesting and fun guy to hang out with before he had kids.

@readyletsgo

I would never drop $30 on VC games in one sitting at their current pricing, but would gladly shell out $40-50 at once if that got me 30-40 NES and SNES games

Since this is like the 15th article Damien has written about this game, I think it would be appropriate to add 'the resident NL expert on games featuring semi-nude underage school girls' to his site bio.

I'm gonna get it on Vita as soon as it is released. Looks amazing.

The number of similar comments here really shows the mentality of Nintendo console owners.

"The game itself doesn't really interest me but I will buy it anyway because it says Nintendo on the box"

Too bad this same thing doesn't happen when a third party title is released.

This is a damn shame.

The Wii U lacks 2D platformers and this game would fill an important niche!!!

@midnafanboy

"You bash this site,but you keep coming back.That's hilarious friendo."

lol

@dumedum

"What a tragedy lol. I really would actually have spent time on this hitting on a fake drum like an idiot... What would I do now oh no...."

Take some grammar lessons?

@TruenoGT

What about Nintendo character skins on fighter planes in Ace Combat? Nintendo characters in Monster Hunter 4? Nintendo outfits in Bayonetta? Re-skinning Dynasty Warriors using the Zelda universe?

@Einherjar

If there is a lot of money on the table from idiots looking to buy eShop games, your time is probably better spent making a game and getting some cash instead of complaining about a guy who did just that and made a decent haul from doing 'nothing'.

@Einherjar

"I just wished that the "buying it for the lolz rofl yolo" money went into my pockets instead though...
People can be so stupid sometimes...."

Then slap together an eShop game (since it's so easy!) and make some money from it instead of complaining from the sidelines about someone who accomplished something you don't have the guts to attempt.

@midnafanboy

I am here for the all too infrequent SCAR392 posts

I'm gonna line up outside Wal-Mart the night before, then when it opens in the morning I will ride my bike into the store and snag all of these. I will also be wearing a Captain Falcon mask while doing so.

@Robotron2084

Hahaha so true. For months this Nintendo 'news site' has been littered with filler stories. I can only imagine the fight at the office over who got to post this gem!

Wish I hadn't bought both packs as I am almost entirely uninterested in this game by now. Will probably play the new tracks a couple times then be done with it.

"It's old news, at the moment, that whenever Nintendo announces a limited edition product the following will happen - Thomas Whitehead will write an article crying about online resellers."

Fixed the first sentence for ya!

For the Nintendo fanboys mocking the fact that people buy the Xbox based on brand recognition/reputation.....you realize that is what every single one of you do with Nintendo consoles and games too, right?

Nintendo announces a new game or hardware and instantly you guys want it because 'Nintendo made it and they make good things'. Why do you find it shocking or bad that other people have the exact same feelings as you do for a different system? Embarrassing.

@CharlyDunst

It wasn't an argument. He says he writes Game Concepts and Stories, so I was just wondering where his work has been featured?

If you write Game Concepts, it would imply that someone has already used one in a game, and I would like to play it!

"I am honestly convinced that some people have too much free time" - Internet Forum Moderator

@Kaze_Memaryu

Maybe Disney would be interested in purchasing some of your fantastic Game Stories and Concepts to use in their future projects?

In what films and games may I have already enjoyed your work in?

'talks out'??

@IronMan28

It looks pretty, pretty, preeeetty bad
