Super Mario Bros. controls beautifully. If he wants to see a game with bad controls, he should play Ice Climbers.
Note: I like Ice Climbers, but I hate how you can't turn mid air (It's okay in the Mario Bros arcade game, because you have enough room to get a running start) and I hate how you just fall through the platforms sometimes.
Maybe NOE is worried that Smash will take sales away from Toad, like last year when Nintendo delayed DKC:TF, because they were worried that 3D World will take sales from it away.
I'd thought I let you know, that the Japanese Direct says that Kirby Rainbow Curse is 3,700 yen which is the same price as Captain Toad, so expect that game to be $39.99 here too.
Oh it's the SNES Rainbow Road, I thought it was the GBA one. Nintendo seems to hate the GBA tracks so it wouldn't surprise me if they had dumped it's Rainbow Road as DLC so they wouldn't have to use it for Mario Kart 9.
@Kaze_Memaryu I believe there's only one Rainbow Road in Super Mario Kart.
@ikki5 I don't know where you got the idea that Pokemon has been around since the 80s, but it hasn't. It came out 1996 in Japan and 1998 in the US. Also, Mario is very popular. Super Mario Bros sold 29 million copies in the US, and 3 & World sold over 12 million copies, and Mario Kart DS and Wii were very popular here. Mario wouldn't be Nintendo mascot if he wasn't popular.
@Technosphile Nintendo said in May that the Wii U will now be profitable at the $299.99 price. So $299.99 is the right price. The GamePad isn't cheap you know.
@brewsky Okay then. But still, now that they're making money off of it, they should keep it like that, since they've been losing money for the past 3 years.
@Peach64 You are saving money getting bundles. The Super Mario 3D World + Nintendo Land Bundle is $299.99
If you got a Wii U alone ($299.99), 3D World alone ($59.99) and Nintendo Land alone ($59.99) You would be spending $419.97, which is $119.98 you could have saved.
NOTE: I'm not sure if Nintendo Land costs $59.99, I looked at the eShop, and they don't have a price for some reason.
When the Wii U was priced at $349.99 they were selling it at a loss. Now that it's $299.99 they're selling it at a bigger loss, so dropping the price will make Nintendo lose A LOT more money.
EDIT: Okay, they said in May it's now profitable, but Nintendo has been losing money for 3 years, so they should keep it there.

Re: Video: Early Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric Footage Hints At Game-Breaking Bugs
This game is on par with a bad licensed kid show game, which is really what this is.
Also, I love how you mentioned bugs in a Sonic game and you went to Sonic Adventure instead of Sonic 06.

@ikki5 I said how come they NEVER put him in. Not in the eighties not in the nineties not ever.

Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Follow Microsoft's Lead With A Wii U Price Cut?
@kingston589 Where do you see the Wii U marketing? The only time I saw Wii U marketing was in November-December 2013, and May-June 2014.
