Yay, 1 game for the price of 2.

@DerpSandwich It's for Mario's 30th anniversary, which was September 1985.

Anyone having this problem? I went on, they said I'm a Gold member, I try to redeem a gold prize, but I get a message saying "You're Not a Gold Member".

Won't hold my breath for N64 VC.

she's been referred to as the female Vanilla Ice (sounds like an insult if you ask us).

cough It was meant to be.

And... why didn't they debunk this sooner, I don't know. But at least this opens up the possibilities for an animated Zelda TV series or movie instead, if they ever wish to make one. Animation fits Zelda much more than live-action.

@Tazcat2011 I don't know if this applies (or ever applied) to video games, but I know back in the 80s and 90s, anime in the US was really expensive to discourage people in Japan from importing anime from overseas, where the anime would be cheaper, if the US companies weren't told to jack up the prices.

So I'm guessing consoles were region locked, so game prices in the US wouldn't have to be absurdly high to prevent people in Japan from importing games from America.

@DoctorWily Did you even read my post? I never said the NES had a hard drive, I said, "media storage", that means a cartridge, CD, DVD, or Blu-ray.

@DoctorWily

NES cartridges could hold up to 1MB of data, which is not 0. If NES games had "zero storage capacity", then the games wouldn't exist.

And the NES and SNES were not successful for those reasons. They were successful because of the hardware and the games.

Just make powerful hardware with sufficent media storage. That's why the NES & SNES were successful. N64 and GCN had low media storage compared to the competition, and the Wii and Wii U are underpowerd. So just go back to being competitive and stop these gimmicks that hurt your brand.

That's not even the real Toru Iwatani

Nintendo! Why would you sponsor Nickelodeon? They're the most evil company ever.

@Kafei2006 I see.

But don't the Japanese like things right to left?

Can you blame him for saying "toy for children" when the ads on TV are only shown on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Disney XD, and Cartoon Network?

I remember when the original DS came out, I called it the GameBoy DS.

If only my Link amiibo didn't spam his boomerang over and over again. Such a cheap way to win.

Here's how I think amiibo may work in those games.

• Mario Maker - You can use the amiibos 8/16-bit sprite instead of Mario
• Star Fox - Tap Fox, Falco, Slippy, or Peppy and you get special powerups
• Xenoblade X - Dunno
• Splatoon - You get to wear the character clothes.
• Zelda U - Instead of Sheikah Stones, you use an amiibo to tell you what to do if you're stuck.

@rjejr Mario Maker was delayed to the second half of 2015.

@Ron1212 From a graphical standpoint, Xenoblade is weaker than Twilight Princess, which is why Xenoblade can run on a 3DS.

I doubt Twilight Princess can run on a 3DS.

Wow, my perdiction was true, they did come in February.

What monster created this?

@Cosats No it wasn't. This is a type of game that requires communication with your teammates.

Glad to see a Zelda game doing well in Japan. Let's home Zelda U also does well.

You guys aren't missing out on anything. Seriously, the TVii app doesn't do anything, it's just lists schedules for TV shows, which you can already do on your TV.

So where is Donkey Kong Country Return and Kirby's Return to Dreamland?

Scores are dumb. A number doesn't define a game. If you want to know if a game interests you or not, you should read a listen to the review not a number. For example one reviewer may hate shooters, so he'll probably give a COD game a low score. Some people may look at that score and think it's a bad game. But if you read the written review, then you can tell that the person just doesn't like shooters and you find another reviewer. So in the end scores mean nothing, it's the written review that tells the person whether they would like the game or not.

Awesome, I hope that means Genesis and Dreamcast VC has a chance.

And the actual Harry Potter games (well the first three anyways) ended up being Zelda clones. How fitting.

I kinda wish Nintendo did make the Harry potter games instead of EA, because well 4, 5, 6, and 7 wouldn't suck, and also that they'd make the dungeons (spell challenges) more challenging and more puzzling. The games would only seem fun to people who are new to video games or have very fond nostalgic memories of them (like me), but if a seasoned gamer (especially one whose played a 3D Zelda game) played this, they would find it really boring.

Whatever the next Kirby series is, King Dedede better have his southern accent.

I'm surprised people would rather see a live action Zelda over an animated one. There are endless possibilities that you can do with animation. With live action, you're limited by what you can do, especially with a tv show since the budget is lower than a movie.

Also, an F-Zero anime exists. It has 51 episodes, but only 13 were dubbed in english, because the ratings were low.

I feel that an animated Zelda made by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko (the creators of Avatar, and The Legend of Korra) would have been better.

@BenAV It's for people who didn't own a Nintendo 64 or for people who didn't like the original game. And the remake was done by Grezzo, a studio that doesn't make any games, so it's not a waste of resources.

Butts are so offensive. That's why Rugrats is an adult cartoon.

First Nintendo doesn't want to advertise the Wii U, and now they're discouraging people to give them free advertising. Does Nintendo NOT want their console to sell?

This is a bad thing. Other video game developers let LPers keep 100% of their videos. Nintendo is just being greedy and trying to take every penny they get. Also they're forcing people to say only good things about Nintendo, and they're not allowed to criticize their games in any way.

Seriously people, you can be a Nintendo fan but still hate their business practices and policies.

I don't like first person shooters... do I still NEED the game? Btw, I'm on mobile so I can't watch the video in case if my question was already answered.

Well considering I played 3 LEGO games in a row that I was literally unable to 100% because of a glitch or maybe a gimped port, I don't trust LEGO games anymore.

@BensonUii It is free advertising because Nintendo doesn't pay people to play their games.

I think Mario Maker will come out September to coincide with Mario's 30th Anniversary

Well a new Tales game came out so of course Kirby didn't make it to the top. Especially since there's 8 million more PS3 owners than Wii U owners.

@freaksloan ...or they're just not interested in Nintendo games... or they don't have money.

Weird some parts in the patch are better while some parts in the original are better.

Like to see Xenoblade Chornicles, Mario Kart Wii, The Last Story.

@shigulicious The reason why I like amiibo, is because you don't need. They're just stuff that unlocks trivial things. If Nintendo made a game like Disney Infinity that requires amiibos, I'd be upset, because you shouldn't need outside stuff to play a game, outside material should only enhance it.

Well Majora's Mask for the N64 was only 32MB. It wasn't going to increase THAT much.

@Ralizah, File sizes are different depending on the country, because North America only needs a few languages, while Europe needs many languages.

Why is this posted in the "News" section

But they couldn't patch up Sonic 06. What I think would have been a good game if the glitches weren't present.

Sonic Boom still looks like a really boring beat em up, even without the glitches.

I was thinking, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong Country Returns were remade for the DS and 3DS. and they still released/will release the original versions on the Wii and Wii U (Japan is getting DKCR), so Xenoblade being released digitally on the Wii U isn't completely out of the question.
