Like I said before, release date seemed way too early. Most likely a Q3 release at the earliest, Q4 2014 at the latest. But yeah, Thomo covered most of the major points.
"you'll be able to create your own perfect date — complete with spiky hair, skinny jeans and non-threatening vacant expression — and spend some quality time with him in the land of your dreams."
@AJWolfTill I haven't played 999 or VLR but I keep hearing about how good it is. I've got the cartridge for the first game and I'll probably buy this as it's really cheap.
Been following this since it's reveal pretty much. Level-5 really hit another winner with Youkai Watch. I mean we could be seeing Inazuma Eleven level popularity within another year or two. It's already doing so well with two manga series and an anime that started a few weeks ago.
The VC service needs a real kick up the derriere. There are SOOOO many great classics that should be available that aren't available. Instead we just keep getting Urban champion.
Also, I really would like new games such as Advance Wars (think we'll see it announced this year though), Excite! (whatever) Wave Race, 1080, F-Zero etc.
Honestly, I think you'll get more out playing locally in titles such as this as opposed to online but even so, Nintendo should still provide the option for gamers to play with others around the world.
There are people who won't be able to play under one room for many reasons so having the option to go online would be great for them.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Three
@ferrers405 An absolute treat! I plan on returning to it this weekend.
Going to play J-Stars Victory VS if it arrives, otherwise I'll start my Final Fantasy adventure on my Vita.
If I get the chance, then maybe some Soul Hackers (3DS).
Re: First Impressions: Tomodachi Life
Still haven't watch the Direct, but reading this has really impressed me.
Re: Feature: Time For a Super Smash Bros. New Challenger Screenshot Blowout
So. Much. Baddonkeyness!
Re: Feature: What We Want to See in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Direct
Like I said before, release date seemed way too early. Most likely a Q3 release at the earliest, Q4 2014 at the latest. But yeah, Thomo covered most of the major points.
Really hoping to see this guy:

Re: Talking Point: The Timing of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Direct Raises Expectations
Don't think we'll get a release date, maybe a month/quarter?
I expect to see Super Smash Bros. to be released in Q3 2014 at the earliest.
On the names, didn't Sakurai already confirm that they were being called Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS?
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Two
Great to see this back!
I've also been playing Dual Destinies, @ThomasBW84 and will continue that trend over the weekend
Re: Super Smash Bros. Direct Will Bring the Hype on 8th April
I haven't felt this much hype since E3 2013.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Direct Will Bring the Hype on 8th April
That's why we didn't get a pic of the day (woops, looks like I spoke too soon )
Expecting quite a bit of news, and I'm expecting to see at least one more character getting confirmed. Release date would be great.
The mother of all Nintendo Directs. It's going to be a great day!

Hah! Just remembered the RC-P90.
Complete mirror opposite to the Klobb
Re: Review: Advance Wars (Wii U eShop)
And here I thought I had enough self restraint to not buy this...
Re: Site News: Tom Has Evolved Into A New Form: Editor Tom!
Oh yeah, you remind me of Obi-Wan from the Star Wars prequel films (especially the hair). So that's a major win as well!
Re: Site News: Tom Has Evolved Into A New Form: Editor Tom!
I love Nintendolife & all its great members of staff, and Tom is a HUGE part of that.
Re: Win Big In Our 'Year Of Luigi' Send Off Competition
Entered!
Good luck!
Re: Feature: Looking Back on the Year of Luigi
@SheldonRandoms Snake salutes that post.

And yes, I loved this year. Everyone's favourite guy in green finally took center stage.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th March (Europe)
Slightly tempted by Jett Rocket & EX on the 3DS.
Will probably just wait it out for a bigger sale.
Re: Soapbox: Ignoring The Objectification Of Women In Games Won't Make the Problem Go Away
Not interested in games like Senran Kagura so I just don't buy them.
That's as much thought as I've ever given it.
Re: One Piece Unlimited World Red Is Sailing To Wii U And 3DS In Europe And Australia
Day one for me. No doubt about it.

Such a colourful article & an enjoyable read!
Re: Pikachu And His Pokémon Pals Are Throwing Their Support Behind Japan's World Cup 2014 Campaign
Naturally I support my German Gunners, but I actually drew Germany in this tournament!
Re: Ninterview: Smooth McGroove On A Life In Game Music
"Do you have a favourite Smooth McGroove video?"
I don't know! That's a really hard question!
Re: The Denpa Men 3: The Rise of Digitoll Is Spreading To The West This Summer
Ha! I bought the first game on sale, will buy the 2nd one on sale too.
Hopefully the 3rd will join in the same manner
Re: Guide: The Building Blocks Of Success In Pokémon X & Y
Superb write up!
It makes me appreciate the depth of Pokemon even more.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Confirms Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition Software Bundle
Online store for me! (at this moment in time)

That made my day @Damo.

That picture of Iwata suits the article so well.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th February (Europe)
Hmmm, I might get Castlevania.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th February (Europe)
Yes, I'll gladly download Dual Destinies!
I'm saving Donkey Kong for later

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (Europe)
@AJWolfTill I haven't played 999 or VLR but I keep hearing about how good it is. I've got the cartridge for the first game and I'll probably buy this as it's really cheap.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (Europe)
Tempted by Hakuoki & Zero Escape.
Re: Lucario The Aura Warrior Returns To Battle In Super Smash Bros. 3DS & Wii U
I didn't expect Lucario to make his return... Then what about Snake? SNAKE?! SNAAAAAAKE!!!!
Highly doubt that he'd be included though -_-
Re: Video: The 10 Biggest Wii U Games Of 2014
Just give me Smash Bros. and I'll be set for the next 6 years.
Interesting top 10, and a great vid from Rory!
Re: Monster Hunter 4 G Due In Autumn / Fall This Year
Fift... Oh enough of this baloney!
Give us MH4G, Capcom!
Re: Guide: How To Become The Ultimate Monster Breeder In Pokémon X & Y
Love this! Might get back into X again.
Great job, Joe!
Re: Renegade Kid's New 3DS FPS Is Moon Chronicles
Looks like Season 2 will be a separate title then.
Re: Level-5 Trademarks Yo-kai Watch in the US
Been following this since it's reveal pretty much. Level-5 really hit another winner with Youkai Watch. I mean we could be seeing Inazuma Eleven level popularity within another year or two. It's already doing so well with two manga series and an anime that started a few weeks ago.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Games Our Readers Would Love to See in 2014
The VC service needs a real kick up the derriere. There are SOOOO many great classics that should be available that aren't available. Instead we just keep getting Urban champion.
Also, I really would like new games such as Advance Wars (think we'll see it announced this year though), Excite! (whatever) Wave Race, 1080, F-Zero etc.
Re: Play: Mario Kart 7 With Nintendo Life - Choose Your Rules
Haven't played in a long time but I might join you guys.
Re: Sakurai Reiterates That There'll Be No Subspace Emissary-Style Story in Super Smash Bros.
I'm perfectly fine with no single player campaign. As a matter of fact I didn't like it at all.
I only blitzed through it for unlockables.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
For once I don't know.
I might just pick a random game out from a hat...
Re: Nintendo Picks Up Multiple Nominations in D.I.C.E. Awards
The Handheld GOTY nominations are all superb.
Overall I think that the 3DS was the console of the year. Full stop.
Re: Intelligent Systems Development HQ Image Emerges
Looks quite similar to Ninty HQ.
But yeah, I love me some IntelliSys.
Re: Nintendo Left Online Out Of Super Mario 3D World To Deliver The "NES" Experience
Honestly, I think you'll get more out playing locally in titles such as this as opposed to online but even so, Nintendo should still provide the option for gamers to play with others around the world.
There are people who won't be able to play under one room for many reasons so having the option to go online would be great for them.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th January (Europe)
I will be downloading nothing at all...
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Confirms Separate Super Smash Bros. Trophies for Wii U and 3DS
