@BATRA If it's a good game, it's a good game. Why does touch-control matter? I mean if it's personal, like an injury, I feel for you man.

@ungibbed Yes, I know of that option. What about it? I mean, you don't even need to spend money to play F2P games, and I was just explaining that TF2 did handle the free-to-play model very well.

@SkywardCrowbar Unless it changes something to keep an incentive to buy the main series (eg. Colesseum completely changed how capturing Pokemon is, so there was still a huge incentive to buy the SRE), I don't think there should be a Pokemon RPG on console.

@BrightBeing TF2 was a whole game, and you can access EVERYTHING without paying. F2Pers got to access everything in the game that was there before it became F2P. The weapons don't give an upper-hand, and it's completely optional to buy hats

@SkywardCrowbar Because they think that all free-to-play games are money-grubbing machines just because they have a "store" in the menu and completely optional micro-transactions, that don't have to give someone else an upper-hand on you.

@ricklongo Have you ever heard of TF2? Megaman x Street Fighter? Random Adobe Flash games on Newgrounds? There are plenty of good F2P games out there, and if you have faith in Nintendo as a developer, trust them to make a good free-to-play game.

How was the multiplayer for this game on the 3DS? If they used the mechanics of the old game, and turned it into an online multiplayer game, including a single-player campeign/mission mode that you may or may not have to buy, would it be good?

@herzausstein Dear Nintendo,

Don't listen to this guy. If you make a full-scale Pokemon MMORPG, with all the same mechanics that we love Pokemon for, we'll never get a good ol single player handheld experience.

@BrightBeing If TF2 can do the F2P figure fantastically, let's not let Nintendo not do the same.

@SkywardCrowbar I completely agree. Not using a famous IP for an experiment that may turn into a failure is a good idea, and using an already-existing lower ranked IP, that might still have fans just made the idea better.

This one got a bit mixed reviews, but it still is a solid game.

@Koto I'm pretty sure it's cell-shaded. I'm no graphic-anylist-wizard-bomber, but so many people said it's cell-shaded. How can it not be?

No, I didn't think it's cell-shaded because a load of people said so, I just picked it up from the trailer.

I'll buy both day 1, and as my fellow users have been saying...

WHY REE YA SHOEING THIS? IT'S BEN HAIR SINCE DAY 1!!

I never knew there was a sequel to Balloon Fight in the form of a Tingle game!

@MilesVor Zelda fans? Don't you mean Zelda fangirls and fanboys? I mean, some of us like Zelda games, other people complain about new Zelda games so much, but buy and love them anyway since they're fantastic games.

Japan has the tingly taste buds for him

@AlexSays Even if they wouldn't put quality digital buttons into the port, and just said "deal with it" to the consumer with a crappy b-a run and jump combo button, and a nearly disfunctional d-pad, Super Mario Bros. [NES] would still probably trump angry birds.

The only negative thing I can see from them porting NES games to iOS and Android, is that they'll start getting a wee bit carried away, and start making actual games for the mobile market. How is that bad? Nintendo would put much of their development onto mobile games rather than the console market (unless they could use their tons of moolah to cater to both) and "forget" the core gamers even more so than with people claimed Nintendo did with the Wii.

@AlexSays That's what I was thinking. But we never know how the general public (not just the internet) will react to a PS4 demo event. It'll probably be positive, but the casual consumer probably isn't worried about things such as low games, DRM, or too much of online features.

That lone Microsoft employee was a brave one. Fighting off fanboys that know that they're spouting off false-information. Don Mattrick must be proud.

@Linkstrikesback If you're going to compare a last generation portable console's sales for the first year with the 3DS's respective first year, let me just say that sales for the Wii U is better than the sales the 360/PS3 had in their respective first years so far.

I might buy it, I do like the occasional war-shooter.

@ungibbed <-- what he said.

@Grubdog So many people haven't even downloaded the Rayman app, or the 30 cents games. That's just cray-cray.

Ahh, I remember when you did this, you had completely bombed my activity feed. Then I was spot on when I asked you if this is going to be an article

I get baffled that people beg for Majora's Mask 3D, but complain about Ocarina of Time 3D. Shows how many individuals are Zelda fans.

I personally don't like the idea of MM3D. Critics said that the content in OoT3D wasn't worth getting over the $10 dollar virtual console version, even with the smoother 3D graphics and mobility.

I agree with them. Although Zelda fans(boys?) will flock over this one even more so than OoT3D. As all of us will struggle to afford these upcoming releases, I'll give my two-cents on this maniacal financial problem of ours (which has been here since the dawn of time if my lack of calculations are correct).

Buy what you want to buy.

What a jolly game session, eh?

I'm too big of a Smash fan to pick anything else.

Well, I can't wait to see how they execute multiplayer Mario.

If free-to-play will give us a new IP, then bring it on.

Some people are saying Nintendo shouldn't do F2P and stick with $60 disc games, and make a new IP there. But the game will be designed differently than $60 games with F2P in mind similar to how portable and console games are designed differently.

Designed for F2P doesn't necessarily mean nickel and diming. It just means they'd try to make a hook, combined with ample gameplay, like trading in TF2.

By the way,Tank! Tank! Tank! downloadable edition wasn't released by Nintendo.

Bare in mind Ubisoft always gives tons of support to new systems, and since the Wii U is turning 1 year old and newer consoles are coming out, they want to play with those new toys.

Right on Miyamoto.

@ferthepoet There are some Nintendo console exclusives like Scribblenauts Unlimited that's also on the pc.

I miss Yellow Toad already.

I like this footage

This fits perfectly for U

Why do people complain about the art style? Even without pixels, it still looks amazing!

@Yasume How does it look exactly like Brawl?? One of us has to be blind.

People say they're disappointed with a sequel from Retro, but then they say they want Metroid Prime?? People can't win.

I thought I'd be able to watch the Nintendo Direct, but I can't. CURSE YOU SURPRISE EYE-CHECKS.

@hydeks They had a better presentation for the games. It wasn't as slow-paced as Sony and they showed games we haven't seen yet. Sony's games most of which we already knew were exactly being made. Sony won on the console side, of course (but they talked about THEIR multimedia features). Microsoft didn't even mention anything to dislike, or much of the console itself since it was covered in the reveal. What people are saying is that Microsoft had a better conference because of the quallity within that conference, not something that's irrelevant, i.e. the consoles negative features.

The Basic bundle is already $100 less than the PS4, and the 3DS was a different story because it was priced exactly the same as the wifi Vita. It might still get a price cut, it might still succeed or fail. The Wii U will succeed because not the 3DS, but because the Wii U.

@Mk_II That's a pretty neat idea. Maybe they could also have Basic bundles and Deluxe bundles?

@MrSRArter Not to mention SNES

I love the Fantastic Four!

Digital does suit Animal Crossing's style, so I'll go with that.

They're not that pushy. He even made a (albeit not a very funny one at least in the states, but cute nonetheless) joke at the end. He's generally making a suggestion that can earn him some extra cash since digital really does fit Animal Crossing's style.

@KnightRider666 I wouldn't think this deserves a 7 from what I've heard in the review. Seven is the score of Megaman. Is this on par with it? I've never played it, so I can only trust Thomas.

It's Black Bull trying to sabotage Luigi's reputation so there'll be a new F-Zero game.

@MrGawain I never considered developers. I was told that it was boring because it was for investors and pubilshers.

@Peach64 Kingdom Hearts? As long as they don't make it a totally impossible to completely wrap your head around the story.

NOOOOOOOOO!

@Yorumi You're wrong about that. You don't need to make a story with crazy heart-pounding, thought-provoking questions. It doesn't need to question what you're doing in real life. The definition of a mature game is vague, and I suppose I'll try to define it.

The reason why Mario isn't mature is because it focuses on a concept a child can easily understand i.e. fun. It's something that a child can easily come by.

When I played TellTales Walking Dead, it made me care about the characters so much, to the point that my actions were happening not because of the game was telling me to, but because I wanted to. When a character was in danger, I wanted to save them. I wanted to converse and interact with them. Worrying for fictional characters isn't what a child would usually do, would he?

EDIT: I'm disappointed at my inability to express a simple coherent point and thought to what you have stated. If anyone could easily read and infer the meaning of my previous statements, I applaud you in thanks.

Yep, saw it last night
