Glad to see that most agree that this is a good thing, which it is, childish feelings or made up stories regarding EA aside. All third parties have something to offer, EA has the awesome Garden Warfare games & Mass Effect, which are a few of their games I really enjoy. Battlefield is pretty damn good too. If this is true, then good on EA for giving Nintendo the reality check/kick up the ass they've been sorely needing.
Decent lists. I love Wind Waker so I have no complaints. Ah bugger it, why not...this has been on my mind for a while. To me, TP was the last great Zelda game....and that was 10 years ago. I'm hungry for the next truly amazing Zelda game. Skyward Sword was just awful, & ALBW was Fisher Price presents baby's first Zelda game. I'm really hoping the next Zelda game is truly worthy of the title legend. It's my fave series
Life Is Strange is the game of year for 2015, everybody knows that. Nice to see Ori win a few awards too, lovely game. I personally thought Fallout 4 was a load of old toss
@AlexSora89 I'm talking about the finishing moves, not the characters themselves. Finishers are some of the best parts of fighting games, be a shame to spoil them for yourself.
@Chaoz I couldn't agree more. I have the Wii version of All-Stars & it's not worth the disc its printed on imo. Other than that some good choices here, although it would've been hilarious if Nintendo chose duds like Mario Tennis Ultra Smash & AC Amiibo Festival as their selects! Just for the outrage alone! Lol
@Totaldude911 I can understand that. Its companies like Sony & Double Fine I don't trust honestly. They have seen the goldmine & will scrape that sucker dry with endless remakes and sequels which should really be funded by the original owners themselves. Projects such as Yooka-Laylee & Bloodstained I'm all for, they come across as works of passion.
@RikuKH Anything is possible. If you don't believe in yourself or have faith in your product, then don't bother. Shenmue 3 opened the floodgates, it's only going to get worse from here
You know what would be good for the 3DS? Dropping the prices of the games. New release games cost almost as much as a new console game, which is just ridiculous. The prices never drop either, OOT3D is still full price almost 5 years after its release for example. It's put me off the system that's for sure.
My prediction for NX: Nintendo employees by random chance read this comment section, look at each other in morbid shock, then simultaneously say to each other: "these are our fans?!", then proceed to cancel the NX & entire gaming division. Nintendo then opens up a chain of ice cream stores instead.
Not only are you lucky enough to be able to buy 2 separate FE games, you also get to buy the 3rd chapter, & additional DLC on top! Nintendo is too good to it's fans!
Interesting.... I've been eyeing off the Mario Maker & Xenoblade Chronicles X console bundles, trying to decide which to buy today. This just made that decision alot easier!
Wasn't Uncharted 4 delayed 3 times also? And at this point Zelda U is just a myth....point is that nobody's perfect, you'll get your damn game when it's ready you bunch of sooky sods! The game is being released on a thousand platforms too let's not forget...
Much more interested to see the improvements made to the game itself. Why Nintendo chose to show off the happy meal extras first seems a bit odd to me. (Unless you count the amiibo use as improvements, which I really don't)
I have faith in this man. He seems to know exactly what he wants & his face says he'll do anything & step on anyone to get it! Let the reign of Kimishima begin!!
Bayonetta 2 has one of the greatest opening levels in gaming history with Hell On Earth, talk about getting the player pumped!
I hope if there is a 3rd game, that its just Bayo & Jeanne's adventure. Im not a fan of the twatty sidekicks Luka & Loki
What worries me is not the TPHD amiibo use so much, is that if the next Zelda game (Zelda Wii U, NX?) locks something away behind amiibo use. It could be something as simple as exclusive weapons, skins, or even something like exclusive missions, dungeons. I think the poop would really hit the fan then!
Alright.....time to fire up the old controversy wagon... It's coming this year, no doubt in my mind. Anyone who thinks otherwise should remember that Nintendo aren't your friend, they don't give a damn about you or the false promises of a 5 year Wii U life cycle you expect in your imagination. They just want what's in your wallet. Like any business. As for games....It wouldn't surprise me if Reggie came out & said something like "Nintendo fans have been eagerly awaiting footage of the first NX titles.....yet you've been looking at one the whole time......" points to the new Zelda game. Which imo has looked waaaay too good for a Wii U game since the first trailer (sloppy game awards footage aside)
Not surprised at the Xbox One coming in last in hardware sales. Most people in Japan would have to rent a 2nd apartment just to have the space to keep the damn thing!
Wave Race is still awesome, even to this day. What I would give for a follow up (Blue Storm is trash) which retains the original's style, feel, atmosphere, & awesome soundtrack.

Re: Katsuhiro Harada on What Sets Pokkén Tournament Apart from Tekken
I think I would've preferred a Tekken clone tbh, the gameplay vids I've seen look a bit style over substance to me.
