Divisive? The only division I see is between sane people and the crooks who feel they can make easy money by fooling gullible people into buying their nonsense.

This reminded me of the letters Nintendo Life used to get from people thinking they were talking directly to Nintendo asking for refunds and stuff. I almost fell of my chair laughing at some of those letters.

@eaglebob345 Absolutely right.

I simply can't stand Ash Ketchum.

I would say Breath, but that's not even a Zelda game so I'll have to go with Skyward.

People dismiss her as just some actress, but she's actually a very successful businesswoman who runs a billion dollar company.

I think Nintendo did some research and realized there are plenty of people in their 30s who still don't have a Switch and that's the demographic they're going for this Christmas season.

Everyone's a victim these days. We've all had jerk bosses and coworkers. We normally just carry on and do our jobs.

My dad and I were just talking about this yesterday. I remember several of my non-gamer cousins had the Wii, so I finally had a reason to go to family reunions. Also I can't believe how many hours I spent trying to break my own records in the training mini games.

Best The Legend of Zelda game ever made. Can't believe it's been 15 years since the launch of the Wii. It seems like yesterday when I was counting the days for Christmas 2006.

Man that Sonic bottle looks absolutely beautiful. I don't even care about the cologne but I'm totally getting this just for the bottle.

The remakes for the 3 generations were great but, in my opinion, Pokemon reached a peak style-wise during the DS era and I don't think these remakes were really necessary. I think I might give Shining Pearl a go at some point, but for now I will just continue to enjoy Pearl and Platinum versions on DS.

Okay you can bring Brie Larson back.

My word, these guys sure do a lot of observing and listening. I wonder what they do with all that information they've gathered through the years.

I remember getting Pokemon Pearl Version for Nintendo DS back in April 2007; it was such an excellent game and my favorite in the series, and it required 0 updates. I guess the times when you could pay full price for a full game are long gone.

She's the most talented and beautiful person in the history of the universe and I hope she becomes the new face of Nintendo. Please, Kate, don't delete my comment; I said good things about miss stunning and brave.

This article was probably written by a lazy dev. Of all the possible grievances people can have about the current state of the videogame industry, this guy is concerned about an adjective. People misuse words all the time, but non-pedantic folks normally have the ability to understand what they're trying to say.

Laziness may not always be the reason behind bad games or poorly executed releases, but at the end of the day in the eyes of the public it just looks lazy.

Also you would be surprised at the amount of developers who do a halfhearted job out of laziness. They're humans too you know?

Super Nintendo GameCube, please.

That's nice but all I really want from these companies is good products at reasonable prices.

@TryToBeHopeful Believe it or not you still look like a kid to 70-somethings. Enjoy your youth while you have it. Life begins at 40.

What if I love Animal Crossing but I don't love New Horizons and I love the Nintendo 64 games but I don't love the NSO service, and I love Nintendo but I don't love Nintendo's business practices?

Also people in their 20s and 30s should stop feeling old. When we reach 60 we're going to wish we were as "old" as we are today. Every stage of life is special in its own way.

Just a handful of ignorant kids. I grew up in the 2000's and I was familiar with old technology from a young age. These people just choose not to be informed. Some of them even take pride in not recognizing devices from the beginning of this century like it makes them cool or something; a weird trend I've been noticing.

I wonder if Nintendo are a aware of the great potential Splatoon has to become a multimedia franchise. Even not being a big fan of the series I can think of a million ideas as to how it could become a TV show, movies and even music.

Those are actually really nice designs. I like all of them. The Squirtle ones are especially pretty.

Why not just remaster them all and sell them as 3 separate collections? Or make it so at one point in the future every board and minigame in the series is available for download or something.

The actual answer should be: "Because the '!' block is not nearly as iconic as the '?' block, and the people we are trying to sell this toy to don't even know the former exists". Pretty simple.

So encouraging to see a high percentage of people rejecting this nonsense. I have to say I didn't see this coming from Nintendo fans and I am pleasantly surprised.

@GrailUK Those people invented a new kind of annoying. It's what happens when you give a platform to the kid everyone hated in school

It's okay kids, Nintendo is not mad at you; in fact he thinks you're all amazing and just because the Switch wasn't the number one selling system in September doesn't mean Shuntaro Furukawa loves you any less. No need to get all worked up.

@WhiteTrashGuy Hopefully. Some companies don't seem to understand how important a game's soundtrack can be for many of us. I still can't believe they messed up the Banana Blitz HD music.

@UmbrageHill Many great men are terrible human beings. I wouldn't say the creator of Minecraft is a great man, but you get my point.

@UmbrageHill "Everyone with whom I disagree is a piece of garbage". The dude created the game and made it successful. Nothing Microsoft has added since acquiring it has changed the game in any fundamental way. Stop being so mad.

I wonder if the guy who created Minecraft ever imagined it would become such a phenomenon. I'm not even a little interested in the concept but it's nice to see they keep adding stuff to the game to keep the fans engaged.

@vio I see what you're saying, but there's a very big difference between renting games and actually buying them. Many of us still own the VC games we bought 15 years ago on Wii. Will you be able to play Banjo on your Switch in 10 years?

Okay forget everything I said, I'm so getting that controller.

Online should be free and they should bring the Virtual Console back; they can charge as much as they want for classic games, I don't care. The current service is simply bizarre.

@NeonPizza I only ever played Wii on a CRT Tube TV and it always look great to me. The pointer controls never ceased o amaze me. Even in Super Paper Mario, which is a criminally underrated game, I loved using Tippi to scan the screen all the time.

For me the Wii era was just something else. Best Mario, best Zelda, best Metroid (in my opinion), Mario Kart Wii and Brawl coming out one month apart. Hundreds of hours poured into Wii Sports. Man I miss those days.

@Rika_Yoshitake But that's the thing; when people complain about Nintendo it's never really about their games. It's about their systems and their business practices. When it comes to the quality of their software Nintendo always comes at the top.

@NeonPizza Same here. I remember watching reviews at the time and thinking people were exaggerating when they said the controls were amazing. Then I got it and I couldn't believe how great the controls actually are. Metroid Prime Trilogy does deserve to be at the top because they implemented the excellent controls of 3 into 1 and 2.

If a developer goes out of their way to implement accessibility options in a game, they should be lauded; but if they don't they shouldn't be knocked for that.

I don't remember people being as dramatic regarding spoilers during and before the Wii era as they are today. Many people didn't even know spoilers were a thing and just wanted to see as much of the game as possible when the hype was too high.

@BloodNinja @JayJ You guys get it. I don't care if people have fun with this harmless stuff, but there is indeed this cringe factor to it. But hey I've been a bitter old man my whole life so what do I know.

That's definitely not a Super Mario 64 "? Block."

Gary and Alison from Nintendo Week were much better hosts than these dorks.

I'm only getting the N64 controller if they release the Atomic Purple one or one of the Funtastic versions. Nobody ever wanted to play with the grey one.

Let me know when they allow us to buy and own it. And Tooie too.

@Ganner And then he went on to singlehandedly put an end to the Cold War.
