That looks pretty great.

@ErnisDy They aren't very good deals. 150 coins is equivalent to approximately $150 worth of purchases.

@Geonjaha Yep.

So long as there are no random encounters, though by definition there probably will be.

@fishwilson A Monopoly is never a good thing (and that includes the boardgame.) Aside from no competition creating a lack of innovation, it also allows a company to charge whatever they want for their product because there are no other options to choose from. Not only that, but monopolies are illegal, at least in the US which is one of the largest console markets. Playstation and Xbox merging wouldn't actually be a monopoly though as long as there are other consoles from Nintendo.

I've been meaning to download Aeroporter at some point, being a big fan of two of Yoot Saito's previous games, Simtower and Yoot Tower, the latter of which unfortunately got the expansion packs that were released in Japan.

"With the Wii U GamePad you would think the system would be perfect for Minecraft; it's now certainly more likely than it was a few days ago."

Actually, no. It is not any more likely than a few days ago if the prospect of a Wii U version wasn't something Jens was involved with in the first place. The likelihood is exactly the same.

What they should have done to give the gamepad full advantage over tablets: multitouch.

What they should have done to make it the "one place you go to access all of your entertainment: among other thing: Blu-ray playback among other things. I don't personally feel that the Wii U should neccisarily be a Blu-ray player, but to say it's the one place you'll go for all of your entertainment, there really would need to be a way to watch movies you own aside from just Amazon Prime (or navigating to a video on your computer via the browser.)

Since the word adventures is in quotes, I guess there isn't really much of an adventure at all.

I despise Team Meat. They are the most immature developers on the planet and seem to think that dropping an F-bomb every other sentance makes them cool.

@Barbiegurl777 You know this is fake right?

@Emaan But animation is a way bigger deal over there.

@DestinyMan I believe the "lighter fare" quote is being taken out of context. Miyamoto was using a food analogy where Luigi is the salad that people are really into, salad being lighter fare, not Luigi himself.

Ultimately Nintendo should do fine without Miyamoto's involvement. Steve Jobs is gone but Apple is still doing well.

Both sources for the article are listed twice.

@Zemus-DJ There are tons of games on iOS that are designed with the hardware in mind and control woderfully with the best not using virtual joysticks or buttons.

@47drift There are also tons of games ported from other hardware that have controls adapted for touch screens. Virtual buttons only litter the screen in the worst of ports.

"So far Liberation Maiden has been spotted on the New Zealand store, but it's starting to make its way around the regions; a simple search also shows that it's now on Italy's iTunes"
That is how every release on the AppStore works. New apps come out at midnight in each region starting with New Zealand.

@DarkKirby I agree 100% about Sticker Star, but I recall reading an interview where Miyamoto said he wasn't sure why people thought he hated DKC as he had actually closely collaborated with Rare on it, or something along those lines.

And he suggested turning Dinosaur Planet into Star Fox, so your argument about him wanting his characters used only as originally intended doesn't really hold water. And he was the one who stopped Square from giving Mario a sword in SMRPG and suggested a hammer instead, so clearly he hasn't had a negative influence on all Mario RPG games.

It really shouldn't be difficult. They already brought the first trilogy to iOS in HD.

@bulby1994 Heck, my 2007 model iMac runs Minecraft perfectly.

Also, it's not like Mojang has millions of dollars in the bank to take some risks with, right?

NFC stands for Near Fields Communication, not Neat Figurine Collectables. There are many other applications for the technology.

I'm not really interested.

@rjejr I believe the article was referring to the style of the presentations as something unique to Nintendo.

Hopefully Miyamoto's new project will be better than Steel Diver. It was fun and all, but… yeah.

@WingedFish Or anywhere else in the northern hemisphere for that matter.

My Wii U usually only crashes when I play Scribblenauts with more than one player. The more players the more likely it is to crash.

Puzzle Craft is a pretty good iOS game.

@ThomasBW84 Surprises like there not actually being a demo for SaSASR for America last week.

"Of course, a modified version could simply refer to a special edition edition of the game…"
Typo. You typed edition twice.

@HuntheUniverse Game companies seem to generally not really care what we want or ask for.

@Deathgaze Chrono is just a prefix that means time. It would be a bit weird if a game had the word chrono in it and didn't involve time related mechanics in one way or another.

I remember playing the DOS version on a floppy disk. Then when we got a faster computer the game sped up too. Ah, the memories.

@shinokami Making a living off of crime is not okay.
@rayword45 What's wrong with iTunes?
@AlexSora89 Families that can't afford games just shouldn't pirate games. Playing video games is not a necessity of life, it's a luxury.

@SheldonRandoms Woah, what thrift store are you going to?

@Tech101 Isn't Unchained Blades the highest priced eShop only game?

I don't think Square Enix ever said anything that suggested All the Bravest was Bravely Default. Wasn't that just speculation about some domain names they registered?

There is such a thing as having lower prices to increase sales. If enough extra people buy the game if it's at a lower price then EA would earn more than if they raised prices.

Sim City sounded good when announced, but its prospects just seem to be lowering. I miss the days when EA didn't own Maxis.

@rjejr " I personally can't see listing something as "upcoming" if it doesn't even have a date yet."

Unless the game gets cancelled I don't see what else you'd call it. If it isn't already out then by definition the only other option is "upcoming."

Also, "Super Wonderful Edition." LOL

What they should do is give the Wii U developers a huge bonus and reimburse them for their overtime with six months of paid leave.

"It's not the first open-world LEGO title..." No, it most definitely is not. The first LEGO video game, LEGO Island, for PC was open world, and that was in 1997, which I believe was before the 3D GTAs. LEGO got there first.

Rayman is pretty much the only Ubisoft game I care about.

I never seem to have enough GBA to GC link cables despite having them somewhere. I can never find them.

@FineLerv It's in the second to last paragraph of the article.

@triforcepower73 @Five-seveN @3Dash All in all, a one isn't too uncommon. Especially since Phillip gets all the shovelware games most sites don't even bother to review.

@MultiMariosonic Nintendo neither makes or owns the rights to Layton, they just publish it in some territories for Level-5.

In regards to the people wondering, I'm pretty sure Ancel doesn't own the rights to Rayman or BGaE any more than Miyamoto owns the rights to Mario.

@sir_Anthony The franchise did start about a full decade ago.

@NocturnalYoshi Well Dinosaur was a poorly received technological proof of concept film, so I really doubt it.

You know what would be a way better pre-order bonus than a Chase McCain minifig? A LEGO Iwata minifig.

@Five-seveN Sigh That joke is getting really old, and Nintendo's publishing it so it's not gonna happen.

@zenarium No, we do not have it. It was a lie.

@Bass_X0 …Why? 5th Cell is based in the US.
