@absuplendous Peach has always been a stereotypical damsel-in-distress, and Super Princess Peach gave her the chance to be fleshed out as a real character. Instead, it was all about the generic trope of "WOMEN ARE SO EMOTIONAL!"
$580,000 was way too high of a goal to begin with. Most successful Kickstarters that raise over $100,000 rely on at least a few super rich major donors.
I'm right in the middle of playing Dual Destinies, so this makes me really excited. I've always thought it was strange that the localizations of the Ace Attorney games pretend that the characters are Westerners, since they talk about Japan as if it were a foreign country. It'll be interesting to see how they handle this ancient Japan concept.
@Action51 My girlfriend, an adult female, also tried the game. She had an even harder time than I did. Unfortunately, I did not have any children around to try this game with.
@shigulicious I don't know what you're talking about! For months I've been begging Darren, "Let me review My First Songs, it's the entire reason I got into the game critic business!"
@AndyM4x Here at Nintendo Life we pride ourselves on reviewing every single game released for Nintendo consoles. That includes My First Songs.
@Cathousemaster Those fixes would be great! As the commenter above me said, this level of interaction between players and the dev team is something I wish more companies in the industry would adopt. I'm saddened to hear Flowerworks HD may be your last game if it doesn't perform well enough. I hope that's not the case.
@Cathousemaster Michael, thanks so much for the thorough and thoughtful response. I know you guys are a small team, so I was a bit nervous about being so negative in my review. I hope you can see there was a lot I still enjoyed about the game; I look forward to whatever Nocturnal puts out next!

All these people voting for live presentations are forgetting all the streaming issues Nintendo has had the past few years. If it's prerecorded, it's edited perfectly and everything works like it's supposed to. I'll take that.
This seems like a huge oversight on Nintendo's part. Considering Nintendo makes sure to include English, French, and Spanish versions of all its North American instruction manuals, I'm incredibly surprised to see this.
@SparkOfSpirit That GoNintendo article doesn't cite anything official. Has anyone at the developer or Nintendo actually confirmed a US release?
Edit: You're right, it links to a Siliconera article that confirms that the developer confirmed it. We'll update this article shortly. Thanks for the tip!
@Beau_Skunk Different reviewers have different opinions. If you check out Marcel van Duyn's review of the Wii U VC version of Clu Clu Land, he gave it a 5.
@maceng I'm glad you liked my review! It's my first for NL. As for the screenshots, they're pre-generated by the site, so I don't have anything to do with those.

@Azooooz @shanafan "Instalment" is the correct British spelling.
Re: Review: My First Songs (Wii U eShop)
@baba_944 Haha. The person asking the question referred to me as an "adult male" so I was just calling my girlfriend an "adult female" to match it!

Re: Talking Point: Horror and Metroid Could be a Perfect Fit
People have been saying this for years. I think the first two Prime games hit the atmosphere perfectly. I want to see more of that.

Re: Review: Mach Rider (3DS eShop)
@Jahir Sorry, I'm new here! That subheading is the most stressful part of the review. I promise puns in all future reviews.
Re: Review: Mach Rider (3DS eShop)
@AltDotNerd It did, but I didn't write the Wii VC review. Different reviewers have different opinions!
Re: Pokémon Black and White Soundtrack Now Available on iTunes
@ueI I guess they're counting the FireRed/LeafGreen soundtrack as the equivalent of the Red/Blue soundtrack.
