And I thought was enough to step on a lego brick, but now they fuse it with an nes controller? Must be the most painfull thing to ever step on

I'm hoping that nintendo will buy square enix this year, that would probably secure a lot of hardcore gamers. (and the japanese market)

Furthermore, I think this will be a great year for nintendo. I'm 99% sure they will return to profitability. Also, looking at the number of 1st party developers nintendo got, I think that since last years e3 was so lacking of games, this years will be full of 'em. And if I'm lucky, maybe retro is developing that skyrim clone that I want.

Let us know what you think in the comments below, and check back for our Nintendo Life Best of 2012 Awards, where we decide on categories such as "Biggest Wow Moment" and "Best Third Party Publisher."

Biggest wow moment..? Well, I guess there is only 1% chance that it's bayonetta 2...

@Angelic_Lapras_King Imagine if EA thought that way when they bought developers. They would never ha bought any. My point ain't that they are as good as retro, I don't think so, but that nintendo needs more first-party games, and THQ actually got quite a few that would be nice for nintendo to have, especially since THQ is a bargain right now, and a lot of gamers think that nintendo needs more "M" rated games.

As I said before, I hope that nintendo will buy THQ.

I am hoping that nintendo will use this opportunity to buy THQ, so tat they could reinforce their number of 1 party games. That would have been awesome, and it would also have saved THQ. A win win situation. I doubt that they will do it though...

Oh, the sun, how you keep doing your usual poo. I am pretty sure that he watched tv too, and maybe he read the sun, who knows!

I have seen that a lot of people react on this like monolith want bugs in their game. I must say that I am pretty sure that they mean that they want to be as big and well known as bethesda.

Xenoblade and Endless ocean 2

No problem. I already have enough to spend my e-shop money on

A pretty good line-up if you ask me

@ThomasBW84 Do you think you can add an option to choose more than one game? Or potentially a "out of e-shop money" addition XD

@Azooooz Yes it is!

Fluidity, harmoknight, denpa men, night sky, piccross 2, cave story+ and I got to pick up fallblocks. There just are too many good games coming out on the e-shop! (bear in mind that I am european)

Bravely default trailer, fire emblem and animal rossing release date, monster hunter 3 ultimate footage, e-shop games and some others are my guess. And a bit of tvii.

Denpa men, unless Mr. Shibata pulls out the big (e-shop) guns

While I think there are stuff mario kart can learn from this game, mario kart is still better. I think it has something to do with the fact that the mario universe is (for my part) a much more interesting one. And mario kart is the best game ever, so yeah...

@Grodus Really looking forward to the wii u too
But you should think about the pacman vs. for a sec. Remember that while the gameplay is completely doable on wii u, the tech is still to very separate things.

Was expecting an 9 on this one, but good review anyway. Looking forward to buy this one!

@R-L-A-George They did not include the ps3 browser in this test.

Nintendolife is one of the only ones that I really "trust" when it comes to video games journalism. It is not that I think that IGN or gamespot and so on and so forth is "bought," but many of them still tend to lean towards either sony, microsoft or nintendo (I am now talking about multicompany-sites like the previously mentioned, not like nl or mynintendonews). I find this very frustrating, because this can mean a lot to me as a customer when I see reviews, but I think more about the developers/publishers. When those reviews come into metacritic and such, it really can mean a lot for the sales.

@photofool83 God, how I love Endless ocean 2 ...

@sketchturner Maybe its a mii?

I suggest that people check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPcjuCFKreI&list=UUBQnkb7JjTfpaIARq53ZLGQ&index=3&feature=plcp

He makes the whole voice chat thing make sense.
PS: It actually does.

For once, this song was parodied with a god dance!

@JonWahlgren I feel that people forget that people have different opinions. While most the time they are similar, or not to far from each other, there are also the cases where people can have extremely different opinions, like absolutely hate a game that most others think is good or ok. I love games like endless ocean 2 over ocarina of time (yeah, really ), and even I can see the crazy things with it. Sometimes people have different opinions, and people need to respect the large scale these opinions can come in.

@NintyFan Mario brought the F.L.U.D.D and saved the day...

@Tobias95 I actually is a member of the UK club nintendo Never uses it though. But I do not understand why nintendo won't make a club nintendo for us Scandinavians.

PS: I said in my last post, brio is the only store in my town, but I meant that it was the only store that sells games. But I mostly buy games at elkjøp when I am out of town

@Tobias95 I thought the same thing. The only store in my town is a Brio store, and all the games there cost 599kr (104 US Dollars). Pretty expensive! But the retail games in the e-shop is at 349kr (I think), witch is 60 us dollars. In other words, all download for me

I can't understand why kid icarus is not getting a online release...

@Cipher Yes, there actually is a place called moomin world that lies in finland! Finland's answer to the Danish lego in other words

I bought Xenoblade last week, and so far the game has been fantastic! Another weekend with that one, in other words

I am hoping that they will upgrade the review system, so that we can see the global review counting. There are not so many reviews on the norwegian e-shop. Also, it would be great if we could see the sales of the titles.

@jahasnell They have said that it will be on the 3ds after the wii u.

@ziLToiD The e-shop will not go down for maintenance just to launch a game. Anyway, I want those games too

@BenAV Agreed! I saw both the american and the European conferences, and both was really great. A shame that tvii wasn't shown off to us in europe. But you can't get everything, and even so, the system is looking nice, and knowing that we will get those nintendo exclusives + eventually a good third party support means that I am on-board for launch! Nintendo land is looking surprisingly good to!

@Rococoman The reason for the non saving and stuff is because it's ambassador's only. If they gave out gba games to the ones willing to pay, there would be the same features that gb and nes games has. 99% sure of that.

@19Robb92 Hey! You! I commented on that nintendo life attraction. I brought the comment here. It's about that wave mark attraction.

In the middle of the picture and a little right in the back there, you can see a mark of a wave. Might be wrong, but that is what I can see.

If you look at the nintendo land photos of the theme park, you can see a mark of an attraction with waves. Those resembles the ones in the O in endless ocean's logo. So I bet we will get a diving attraction.

So, mr. brutus is not done with metroid fusion? What part are you stuck on?

I am playing minecraft (PC) and fire emblem the sacred stones btw.

Ha! Going from nl to the big N itself, thats a pretty good life! Anyhow, thanks for everything James

@C-Olimar I hope he will return. I won't even bother seeing this conferrence because I get all the news from this site ( <3 ), with exeption of nintendos own, of cource. But if mr. caffeine returns, then I will watch it. The doodeley doodeley doo and ke-lancey never gets old...

5th june? Isn't nintendos e3 press conference on that day? Mabe nintendo wants this to become the retail games answer so link to the past (the game that launched on the e-shop the same day as nintendos e3 press conference) and launch it online as well.

I would love it. But I think they should get done with the gb, gbc and gba first.

Speaking to investors (as reported by GamesIndustry.biz) Guillemot confirmed the publisher is a "very strong" supporter of Wii U, with five casual and two core titles in the works.

Here's the Ubisoft Wii U line-up of confirmed games so far:

Killer Freaks from Outer Space
Rayman Legends
Assassin's Creed III
Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online

What??? Only two core games??? KFFOS, AC3 and TCGRO are all core games from ubi!

@billy-beauts Haha, James must have been up late playing animal crossing

"Nintendo UK has just revealed all-time sales charts for Wii's Virtual Console, and it contains a sum total of zero surprises."

So what about this?

"On NES, legendary platformer Super Mario Bros. 3 sits atop the chart, just above Super Mario Bros. and, STRANGELY, Pac-Man."

Isn't anybody reacting to this part of the article:

"James Newton
Sonic Labyrinth — Notoriously one of the worst Sonic games, I'll be seeing if it really is as bad as everyone says (hint: it almost certainly is.)

I'll also be playing two other games I can't tell you about for a few weeks. Sorry!"

Ohhhhhhhhhh, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE3333333333333333333333

@theblackdragon Well, I guess so

Lol, as a norwegian I must say it is funny that you always say "the norwegian" to stuff from norway When it's from USA or great brittain you never mention it
