For all of you who have never touched a Deus Ex game, this is the one to touch. ^_^

I know I'll be touching it...

Makes you wonder doesn't it? Very neat article.

My personal favorite game for the 3ds without a doubt! I would give it a 11/10. Seriously, it's that good to me. :3

I partially agree that he has some fair points about 'weak third party support' and how Nintendo is allowing that to continue. BUT. and this is a BIG BUT Nintendo can only do so much to encourage developers outside their company to share their vision. They can only show them the door but in the end the Developers have to be the ones to decide to walk through that Door.

Nintendo has been doing just about everything they can to promote their awesome system of creative potential so I find it very unfair to criticize them when there are MANY other factors to consider outside their influence. People still seem to be forgetting to take into account of the declining economy happening world wide thus the lack of sales for an EXPENSIVE NEW SYSTEM. People included here at NintendoLife.

I also stopped reading half way through this article the moment I read 'Zelda hasn't been exciting since Ocarina, and Metroid is dead to many of us unless a full reboot from a capable group occurs. We need games like StarTropics, old-school Zelda, and Excitebike.' So many things wrong with his vision of Nintendo here.....

I agree with wii being the absolute overall best console in video game history so far. The amount of AAA quality titles on the little system are just to great to be compared by any other competing company.

Contra series is awesome! Those who dislike Contra are the ones that can't handle Contra. I'm always up for another Contra! ALWAYS!!!!! O_O

This is exciting news for me and all those who know how great this game really is! I will definitely be purchasing this deluxe edition when I get a Wii U. Looking extremely forward to replaying one of the best games made in the past decade!! A Deluxe version at that with actual additions/improvements!!

It's called economy.......

Downloaded the demo early early this morning(4:00am) and just completed most of it awhile ago(12:20pm). Yeah I spent that much time on it!! All I can say is this is a game for anyone who loves harvesting, huge dungeons/overworlds to explore, managing, allot of optional questing, planning, big stat trees, and of course Role Playing all IN ONE!!

Wow what a demo! I can only imagine how massive the game must be if the demo alone took me nearly 8 1/2 hours to explore the majority of it all!! This is definitely on my 'to buy' list right after I purchase Fire Emblem.

This is disappointing news.....it's not a deal breaker for me but still a negative especially since I enjoyed chatting with different various people from around the world with interesting backgrounds and things to say.

I'll still enjoy playing the game no doubt but I'll miss sharing unique info/experiences with others overseas. Now it's going to be a less cultured gaming experience.....

They should totally make a futuristic sci-fi themed game with similar gameplay mechanics as the Fire Emblem series along with added gameplay elements! Would be pretty cool.....

Interesting read btw.

Love the warioware games especially DS and wii ones. This one should be no different in terms of quality. I'm looking forward to this game very much.

Incredible!! Even though this is just a Massive TEASE to all of us who fell in love with Xenoblade Chronicles.....this was still exciting to watch and now I am definitely going to make plans on getting a Wii U ASAP.

This is some of the best news for me in the video game scene!!

The Rocketeer was an awesome movie! When I was kid anyways, haven't seen it since though.....maybe I should.

Saving my money for Fire Emblem Awakening and a Wii U.

@MarioKenny1992
Based on what I've read on various forums/articles they now have a update patch you can download that fixes these issues on the Wii U version. So I would say 'yes' it's probably worth buying for the Wii U now.

La-Mulana, Xenoblade Chronicles, Batman Arkham City, Kid Icarus Uprising, Fluidity.

I'm not sure about the rest of the categories because I haven't played to many from them.

Monster Hunter 4 for the Wiii U!!

The girl on the far right in that first picture is having WAY TO MUCH FUN with her 3ds! ._.

Looks fantastic! Especially for a dsi ware game imo. I could use a fire emblem fix and this looks like the closest thing to it.

This will be amazing if they localized and re released all 3 Mother games everywhere! Then everyone would get the opportunity to play this great mind trip of a series.

Earthbound (Mother 2) is one of my favorite video game experiences ever so I'm hoping they will release Mother 1 & 3 over here in the states so I can finish the entire series.

Anyone know if Monster Hunter 4 will have a console version? That's where the game should really be on.

Good to see more and more indie devs getting along with the way Nintendo is handling things this generation. This can only mean more great, innovative, creative, expanding horizons for the future of gaming!

Most anticipated eShop game of 2012 on my radar. I have the first Fluidity on my wii and loved everything about it. I'll be getting this most likely when I get payed this Friday. Anyone here know if there is going to be a Wii U version from Nintendo? I would personally prefer it on the Wii U tablet but can't complain having it on a motion controlled handheld either.

@DarkKirby For me, monster hunter tri specifically was overall very challenging but at the same time extremely rewarding once you figure out just the right strategies, armor, weapons, stats that suit your style for defeating every single unique monster.

One major quality Monster Hunter games have is replay ability. For example, you may come across the same Monster type over and over but that doesn't mean they'll will have the same HP, Attack Speed, Defense, Size, Attack Damage, ect... thus making every encounter unique. I spent well over 400 hours in Monster Hunter tri and it was always fun!

Overtime though some monsters become easy depending on what powerful armors/weapons/abilities/stats/buffs you earn throughout. But the game has a hard mode version of quests after a certain point.

There is more I can go on about but that would take to long. So I hope I was able to help answer your question about it being challenging.

Very good news indeed. When I get a Wii U this will be one of the games I plan on purchasing.

.....for a second I thought I saw 'Sonic Racers(For Free). O_O The entire game that is!! hahaha...then I saw the words above it...demo.....

RPGs this detailed should be much longer...but I know it's a eshop game. Hopefully the same development team makes an actual Full Fledged Console/PC RPG in time. That would be great judging by the details of this write up.

@HawkeyeWii
Definitely deserves a 9 or higher! Especially since it includes every update and other Character mini campaigns for free!!

Armored Edition will be one of the first games I purchase when I get a Wii U along with Wonderful 101 (whenever that comes out).

@Traxx
I agree with some of the things you are mentioning here. I do not understand how many seem to 'love' the series. Controls are waay to overly complicated just like Prince of Persia which I found annoying. It's not that I can't learn the controls, I can but I feel I'm wasting time getting comfortable when most games should be comfortable to begin with.

I wouldn't call it pure crap though, just unpolished game design.

@MadAussieBloke
You could be using allot of that money on nice vacations instead of video games! Just sharing what I would be doing if I made that much money!

EDIT: Unless you do go on vacations already

I would personally give the ps3 version (which I finished) a 9.9/10. Near perfection. Every video I've seen so far on Wii U version tells me THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE Version due to what the gamepad adds to an already stellar experience. So seeing a 8/10 after reading super positive things from the same reviewer is a bit puzzling to me. 8 imo is great but not to memorable. 9 however is Excellent and memorable.

I wouldn't say this review was disappointing, but I would say the final score doesn't fit together well with the actual write up.....

It's called Economy.

I never could get into AC series AT ALL. But I never thought they were bad games, they just weren't for me. Reminds me allot of Prince of Persia but with allot of free roaming involved.

If there was a Monster Hunter bundle deal with the Wii U here in the states I would totally get it!!

If I were to choose one game to own in 2013 for my 3ds library it would be this one!!

Does anyone here know if you can battle online? That would be fantastic...

Fluidity Spin Cycle is what I am looking most forward towards for this year's eshop titles. Especially for the Wii U. I loved the first one on wii and will most likely enjoy the 2nd one.

Very awesome news about Nintendo being on board supporting something like this from the fans.

Fantastic artwork in it's own right, but not fantastic for 'The Legend of Zelda' games.

I have ALLOT of coins already in my ClubN account so I will certainly consider getting this instead of paying $20 for one at the store.

@Azikira Truth. But it is amusing to listen to his self semantic irony, at least I find it amusing, haha.

Such a smug douche bag picture! haha. But hey, if that's his opinion on the Wii U that's fine. He just shouldn't expect for many to take it seriously considering what his lack of accomplishments have been for some time now.

Plus majority of people worldwide are already forming their own opinions on the Wii U as Great if not Awesome for many reasons.

Any word if NA will be getting any new 3DS XL bundles in the near future?

Wii are glad U wrote this article.

Beautifully Gorgeous!! Gameplay looks solid too.

This is the same bundle deal I attained at last year's black friday for $170.

@SilverBaretta

WayForward are good, but just that...good. Not excellent, not above and beyond, and Definitely NOT Masters of 2D sprite based games...just good. I can name many other 2D based developers out there better qualified to make a metroid style game.

It really puzzles me how a number of people actually believe WayFoward would be qualified to take a shot at making a Metroid game. I've played a number of their games and none of them have me believing they are capable of handling a high profile franchise such as Metroid. Not anytime soon at least.

'Nigoro' would be much better qualified over WayForward to help Nintendo Make a Metroid Game. La Mulana alone = more hours & depth than all of WayForward's games combined.

Honestly as much as I enjoy WayForward's games overall I would have to say.....a resounding 'NO' to the idea of them making a Metroid Game. They're a great developer but not for Metroid.

Every game I've played from Way Forward is usually a bit to simplistic, short, and straight forward(Linear). Metroid games however are completely the opposite style from their games except for maybe 1 WayFoward game that I can think of at the moment.

I say just let Nintendo keep making them using their own dev departments and Retro Studious. They always do a fantastic job especially with Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime trilogy, & Zero Mission.

If there is one 3rd party company I would be interested to see make a metroid game it would be 'Nigoro' the same two guys that made La-Mulana!!

@TheDreamingHawk
You don't know what good platforming is if you hate the SNES DKC games! They did not look better on GBC at all what so ever.....& GBA was about the same. Besides you shouldn't go by visuals when judging video games.
