@johndevine I mean,if they are cutting CHARACTERS because of the 3DS version...I wonder what Sakurai has in mind that's so important that he has to cut characters and a story mode. If it's only that custom character interaction between two systems,I hardly think it's worth it. Isn't playing with beloved characters like,the main draw of Smash Bros.?
I think he should just say that the 3DS version is limiting the Wii U version again. I know some people are excited about a handheld Smash Bros. game,but I think it's a terrible idea if they really are going to limit the console version just so you can have a handheld one. I honestly would prefer if they just cancelled the 3DS version and do a complete,absurdly packed new Smash Bros.,just like Brawl was at its time,
@NassaDane The fact that this Mario & Luigi is coming out makes me even more angry that they dumbed down Paper Mario for the 3DS instead of making a big,better one for the Wii U.
I hate that the 3DS version is limiting the Wii U one. I wish they just made the console one,but with all the content of both versions. I mean,that's the one people will play the most anyway.
Buut,I might be wrong,we don't know what kind of connectivity there will be between the two versions. I'm not expecting much of that,though.
That's Kool & The Gang,but...what about Metroid and Star Fox? Oh,well.Still tough, I think it was wise not to reveal it now,especially since I assume the game has a long way until release and they revealed a bunch of new games already,so it's normal that they would save something that big for next year.
I haven't watched the footage (I'm at work) but by the 3D-landish logo and the comments,it's really disappointing that it's not an epic game like the Galaxies.
I know that DK64 has way too much collectables,but I still love it. But the way it's paced, it feels more like an adventure game than a platformer. Even Banjo-Tooie,which has a better balance of those elements,feels like that to me too.
That said,as much as I love games like SMG,I kind of wish people nowadays made some games like Rare did. I only played Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie for the first time last year(yeah,I know),and I was blown away.
@CanisWolfred I wonder why Nintendo is re-releasing gradually the VC games that already were on Wii,instead of making everthing avaliable now and focusing on re-releasing the ones that weren't on Wii. I can't think of one reason of why what they're doing is better.
I don't think Nintendo should change their current franchises to this trend,they are fine the way they are,but if they made new ones,it would be worth a try. But to be honest,my favorite game experiences in terms of story are the ones that really only could be expressed in a game to be effective,like Portal and Metroid Prime. I like Uncharted,but every time a cutscene is on it feels like a generic movie for me.
I really want more specific details on the game,like if there's going to have Join Avenue (really liked it on BW2),Vs. Seeker,and please,for the love of God,put the Wi-Fi level 100 battles back. It's just painful having to train every single Pokémon you plan on using up to level 100. It sounds lazy (it kind of is,really) but you try to train a defensive pokémon up to level 100,it takes ages. I will never train a Blissey because of that.
@The-Chosen-one I know it's just a mode in a game filled to the brim with content,but I hope they improve the adventure mode a little bit. It was too repetitive on Brawl. That said,the cutscenes were extraordinary. I really hope they do that kind of story mode again,because that was the best fan service ever. That Great Insvasion cutscene ...goosebumps every time.
There we go. I honestly have no idea where they are going with the new 3D Mario. If it ends up being Galaxy 3,I'll be underwhelmed,but excited at the same time. Which is kind of weird.
Also,please show the new Retro game. Which I hope it's Star Fox. A Metroid comeback would be sweet also.
God. I wish I could watch this with y'all,but video players are blocked here at work. So I'll settle for the excited comments and at least knowing what they are showing.
I'm not exactly thinking they will show news games,but if they do...bring something on for the Wii U. You're doing fine with th 3DS for the near future,just give some Wii U stuff.
Finally some more new Pokémon.they are pretty cool. I assume the panda one will be an absolute baddonkey in its final evolution. And since the bird one can learn Flame Charge,I kind of hope that its final evolution is a Fire/Flying type instead of Normal/Flying. That would be interesting.
I like it,but what's with all the secrecy? We only know 5 new pokémon so far,one that we don't know the type and one that the only thing we know is that it resembles another pokémon. That's way too much tease,Nintendo.
Also,it's obvious,but I just realized,it's an evolution of an old Pokémon,so it won't be like B/W where all of them had no relation to pokémon in other regions (except freaking Alomomola,come on,nothing will convince me that wasn't supposed to be Luvdisc's evolution) so,you may expect some more evolutions of old Pokémon.
That's disappointing. It would be a lot better if they remade Donkey Kong 64,and that also makes more sense. Unless they have another DKC on the works and are hoping to get some more fans,but I'm not hopeful on that one.
Ok,that looks and sounds awesome. But it makes me wish that they didn't release a ... I guess you can say "dumbed down" version of Paper Mario on the 3DS and made a real one for the Wii or Wii U. Still,love me some M&L.

Still,Dream Team looks amazing.

Re: Retro Studios: "After Donkey Kong Country Returns We Had A Lot Of Gas Left In The Tank"
DKC sells more than Metroid,I think it's for the best that leave Metroid or other games for later. And DKCR was great,this will be as well.

Re: Nintendo Reveal Why Its 3D Mario Title Isn't Super Mario Galaxy 3
OK. I just want an epic sucessor to the Galaxy games (not an Galaxy 3 necessarily) after it.
Re: Wii Fit U And Wii Party U Both Delayed Until Later In The Year
Nintendo should release a bundle with a Wii Sports U and Wii Remote included,to help sales.

Re: Fresh Pokémon X And Y Details Emerge: New Pokémon, Cover Art, Gameplay Trailer Revealed
Awesome. I'm tempted to get Y based on the boxart alone
Re: Four New Pokémon Make CoroCoro Appearance for Pokémon X & Y

Re: New Mewtwo Form Revealed For Pokémon X & Y
Also,complaining that the new pokémon suck is still a thing? I just wonder what would they say if Jynx was a later pokémon rather than an 1st gen one.
Re: New Mewtwo Form Revealed For Pokémon X & Y

Re: Rumour: Wii Mini on the Way to Europe
