After thinking through it, why does it really matter if they make Link a girl anyways? Games with male roles should be played with male roles while female roles should be played as female. Playing as a boy shouldn't really matter and this is kind of a form of censorship.
@TysonQ7 I think that it's good to hear these things beforehand just to alleviate some worry about it. I, too, will be getting it no matter what, but this (hopefully) will be good to hear in my opinion.
@HarmoKnight and @kyuubikid213 If Flipnote ends up on 3DS, I'll probably hog my brother's 3DS like I did his DSi (I never decided to upgrade from the very first DS)
Wow, this is amazing! Even though I'm not subscribed to the magazine right now, I'm going to miss this magazine and I'm definetely going to pick up this last issue.
*We in the second last paragraph Good article! The weird thing is that I never seem to see these Nintendo advertisements. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about them but the "I'm not a gamer" line seems to have been a big mistake
Finally, Nintendo is telling the public what the Wii U is. And it's not a bad commercial either They especially needed to get that point across at the very starting. It's a NEW CONSOLE.
I still play this game when my siblings want to play something with me. When I was younger, I just played City Trial Free Mode though. @shinpichu Actually, once I got the hang of the controls, I liked Top Ride. But I understand that I'm practically the only one. xD
It's terrible when things like this happen. As for those who think the children should quit if they don't like it, they obviously don't understand the situation. These people can't just leave. Their families are counting on them to provide what little money they get from these jobs.
I am actually planning on buying a 3DS (Probably an XL though) I sadly still haven't played OoT D: My new Wii won't let me play it even though I bought it. Can't play any GameCube games on it either because of lack of controller slots. Should I try the 3DS version or is it better on consoles?
@Eldir Are you saying you've never played social gaming or just that you've never played a multiplayer game in general? @HarmoKnight I feel the same way. Back on topic, I'm fine with social gaming dying. The only social gaming I ever played on was Club Penguin when I was little.
I remember watching the start of the broadcast with Iwata's Mii then it switched back to him and his head looked so small xD @clubmini that would be me
Hope I'm not disappointed, my favorite controller is currently still the GameCube's. (although I may be a bit bias because that was my first home-console and favorite system)

Re: Pokédex 3D Pro Tops 3DS eShop Chart in North America
@LuigiMan200 They didn't. But since it did so well, he's assuming that Nintendo feels that it was a fair price.

Re: Father Gender-Bends Link For The Benefit of His Zelda-Loving Daughter
@Sam_Loser2 There's a good example. Portal and Portal 2 are my favorite games and I'm a guy. Playing as Chell didn't bother me.

Re: Iwata: We Must Make Smart Devices Our Allies, Not Our Enemies
@TheHermit Too bad half the people would slam the door in the Nintendo salesman's face and say "I don't play baby games!" :/
Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Will Not Have "Unwholesome" Paid DLC
Yay! I don't believe that Nintendo should give into having too much DLC. It makes for unhappy customers.

Re: First UK Wii U Television Advertisement Breaks Cover
Finally, Nintendo is telling the public what the Wii U is. And it's not a bad commercial either They especially needed to get that point across at the very starting. It's a NEW CONSOLE.
