Late but I guess nobody else noticed this... "The Super Smash Bros. series is the king of brawlers" - I think you mean platform brawlers/fighters.
Personally I only cared for the Japanese-developed Smashlikes that were similarly based on video game properties e.g. DreamMix TV, Onimusha Blade Warriors, Digimon Rumble Arena. I also would feel slimy just hearing about this - I really dislike mobas and their seemingly inescapable popularity, which has been seeping into the world of video games at large.

I'm happy about Pauline.I would like for Nintendo to bring in Foreman Spike and Stanley as well, but it's good to see them normalize their strange past human characters at all.

Funky and Diddy are cool too, should have been in the original Wii U version honestly. I was hoping to see them include costumes, but they can build a better system with those in the next game (where they're not treated as separate characters).

I decided that X is the best (never really thought about it much before) based not only on points brought up here that I agree with, but something that should be irrelevant to this type of game: story.

Now I know what you're thinking; F-Zero-X had no story! GX had all those insane interviews with all the racers and even something close to a story mode with Captain Falcon. The truth of the matter is that these aspects are poorly done in GX. The characterization is more trash than even your average Saturday morning cartoon based on a video game (the Zelda one comes to mind).

This matters to me because I dream of an action game starring Captain Falcon, something that marries his incredible moves in Smash to his driving in F-Zero. For that game to work I think you'd have to ignore most of the mess added by GX and build from the great foundation of characters provided by X. If anybody ever even thought about making this at Nintendo, they probably forgot about it after attempting to reconcile the information provided by GX and getting a headache. Platinum would be a top choice to make the game, and even though their stories are often also incomprehensible, they would likely do a better job of wrangling such a large roster of characters into an exciting overall story than GX did. They'd have to start with X. /endrant

I'm confused as to why whoever being interviewed is credited as simply "Intelligent Systems". It would be much better to know who exactly this is and what importance they have at the company. Nothing here gives the sense that they need to be anonymous to speak freely.

They should correct their error in judgment (Mario Kart DS) and put in E. Gadd

@Munchlax Pikmin.

Looks at least a bit less disgusting than Blasphemous. I love the FromSoft games but the gratuitous edginess in that game really turned me off. Hope this is better.

Ninja Hideaway made me realize they really should have brought the costumes from Tour in. Then I realized, they have a Japanese-style Wario course with garlic everywhere, and no Japanese-style Wario? Give me Daimyo Wario!

I don't really have any opinion on their quality, but I'm amazed that they all look like they were drawn by Ken Sugimori.

Calling Ocarina of Time "Zelda 64" is as bad as calling Link to the Past "Super Zelda".

A Tingle game about space murders sounds legitimately like a good idea. Where else do you go after rupees and love? The final frontier... murder in the final frontier.

The people voting for Zelda II have anger-induced tunnel vision. That, or haven't played Tri Force Heroes solo at all.

I personally wouldn't have bought the Game & Watch without it, and I wish they had made a game in that style back when they did smaller scale development for their handheld consoles. Now on the Switch it'd get backlash from these kinds of people and just get lost in the shuffle, unfortunately.

It really deserves better for all the new things it brought to the table.

While Ice Climbers isn't a good game, Nintendo could definitely carve a great game out of the ideas it presents.

Ghosts 'n Goblins or Final Fight.

Oh, Supper Mario Broth was funnier when I thought it was the inter-sectional coincidence of both Supper being a typo and Broth being a result of squished border dimensions.

I didn't know about this, but I've also spent very little time with the Hammer Bros. suit in this particular game and assumed you'd be able to slide with it anyways.

What could they possibly do with Castlevania with no Igarashi after LoS2 happened? I guess they could outsource development to an indie developer, or else it would take some real insanity to make another 3D entry in the series. After they inevitably remake Metal Gear 1 and 2, nobody will accept a Metal Gear without Kojima - at least one starring Snake.

Crossy Road is a much better version of classic Frogger than Konami could have possibly put out. I expect this to be the same. You make it sound as if you're out of touch, but it just sounds like you can no longer enjoy the simple pleasures of early 80's arcade games. While I could care less about Flappy Bird, I think it's a good sign that kids these days or what have you can enjoy something like Crossy Road.

Touchscreen are best to take inspiration from the simplest arcade games, because they should be the kind of thing you can play for 10 seconds and shut off if you feel like it, and still receive some level of enjoyment. Nothing can be complicated because - who are we kidding - the controls suck. Virtual joysticks and buttons are a nightmare. Nintendo would do well to follow this example instead of trying to port Super Mario Bros. straight up how it is to an iPhone.

It's baffling enough that Nintendo allowed this on the eShop in the first place. Thank God somebody found a way for it to stop making money.

I would rather play as Charlie or Louie. Or all three of the Pikmin 3 characters would have been a much cooler idea. Still, more Pikmin representation is cool in my book.

@S7eventhHeaven Might wanna do some more investigating on that. Sega published both Gunstar Heroes and Super Gunstar Heroes, and the original was released on Wii, 360 and PS3. Microsoft owns no part of it.

Greendog: the Beached Surfer Dude.

This really bums me out. I stopped using Spotpass with friends, thought it was fun when I did - but it was still really special to get letters from people like Miyamoto, Tanabe and Reggie. It felt personal - I had experienced nothing like that through any other way someone from the industry could communicate to me. Swapnote showed me exactly how the man who created Mario and Zelda wrote me a letter! Where else am I gonna find that?

Tingle is an angel, and a blessing. How dare you.

Can't wait to dwize from my gwave in 3D! And also to have an even better excuse play Shinobi III over and over again, again.

Might give Streets of Rage a proper shot now, I couldn't get into the original in the Sonic Genesis Collection. II and III are some of the best beat-em ups I've ever played, though.

I don't think Twilight Princess' art style was "tame". There's a lot of things the art style affects. The enemies and Midna and everything from the Twilight realm looked pretty unique, but the human characters looked like they succeeded the looks of humans in Ocarina of Time. Skyward Sword was kind of tame, in that it was kind of middling between Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. It didn't end up looking like its own thing.

I think however, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were almost as realistic as it could possibly be on the hardware it came out on; with all these really unique, subtle touches that separate it from anything else trying to look realistic. I'd like to see them approach the next game like that again. Or if they could make a game that looks anything like Zelda II (in-game, not the artwork) that would be pretty awesome.

I heard GTA V sold pretty well over there. I didn't buy Rayman because of games like that and Pokemon coming out so close to it. They probably have similar reason accompanying their much lower Wii U install base.

I WANTED GRADIUS GODDANGIT

Finally, Konami on Wii U Virtual Console at all!

Altered Beast and Golden Axe make sense to be part of the same universe, because of cockatrices and such. That's about it.

I didn't buy Kokuga because it didn't come out in Canada. I emailed Nintendo about it, I emailed G.Rev about it, I still haven't the slightest clue why.

It really sucks that the one game I'm interested in this week is the only one that won't come out in my country for some reason.

please b canada

Why would you call the composer of Sonic Colors the composer of Sonic Unleashed? C'mon.

That's really the only option for multiplayer? Man, Nintendo needs to fix that.

The heck is Shinobi II at?

I honestly don't know why they bother releasing inferior ports when the Wii Virtual Console has a section for arcade games. Though Nintendo never used it themselves.

I never really have problems with the battery life on the regular 3DS. When I bring it somewhere I'm never going to play it constantly for hours at a time unless I'm on a trip. Portable games are made to be played in spurts, and there's no reason to be furious at a portable console for the same thing.

How can they play the Ghosts'n Goblins theme but not show Arthur? He's in the game!

if i could get the tie in canada, that'd be the only reason i rebuy a game i already own for wii.

what made me more excited anything in the trailer was something like "I caught a carp! Carpe diem!" These don't disappoint. Most humour in video games grosses me out, but this is perfect.

I want Dream Course which was already in the NA trailer. Dreamland 3 I have on a Wii disc. Super Star Stacker sounds cool though, if it came to the West I'd buy it seeing as I love Star Stacker on Game Boy.

George "Kokori"s played Ocarina of Time? A prominent employee of Rare is talking about how much he loves the 3DS? Irony overload, man.
