@Chrono_Cross - That's your opinion. I've never played any of his games, but from what I see he has a significant legion of fans that actually enjoy them so he definitely should get a dev kit. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean the rest of the world should be deprived of it.
@Gamesake - Ape Escape was an amazing game. In fact, it's one of my favorite games of all time. I doubt The Kore Gang will get anybody to say something that highly without trying to be a hipster.
Also, you're on a Nintendo fansite complaining because a game's story isn't enthusing? It's about as basic as the story for any of the Mario games and was executed pretty decently if I don't say so myself.
Definitely getting this. Been hyped for it since it was announced. Sad to hear they took out the long jump, though. I loved messing around with that in SM64.
You just compared the Ipod's handheld to Nintendo's with the most casual game on the system, an overrated game that is only revered for it's graphics, and a Gameloft game. Not very fair if you ask me. How about we talk about the DS next time by choosing some of it's worst shovelware, overrated and casual games possible, as well?
I'm not opposed to achievements, either. I actually think games like Plants vs. Zombies and others improve with achievements, yet the last thing I want would to be seeing Zelda or Metroid have achievements. "You collected green rupee! 5G"
Yeah, I'm not gonna buy the next Smash Bros. game, plain and simple. I enjoyed Melee due to it's hardcore gameplay. Brawl was a bit more pale for me due to it's casual gameplay, and I refuse to waste 50$+ on a game I know I won't end up liking.
Fantastic review, Trevor. This game actually looks really interesting, but the thing about DJ Hero that concerns me is the price. For the game and turn-table it goes for 100$+ online, and I don't have that kind of money to throw around on a single game. Looks like I'll have to pass. D:
Melee is a 10/10 IMO. Brawl vs. Melee is a classic 'Quality > Quantity' situation with Melee's 'quality' being it's superb physics, and Brawl's 'quantity' being it's huge variety of unlockables. I could point out how Brawl was only a blatant advertisement for the Kirby series and the Virtual Console service with some unpleasant filler in between, but I'd rather not get ravaged by vapid fanboys.

Re: Game of the Year: You Decide!
VVVVVV may have been the best PC game I played last year, but Pushmo definitely takes the cake for best 3DSWare game this year.
(Oh yeah, and Super Mario 3D Land gets my GOTY )
Re: Review: F-Zero Maximum Velocity (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy Advance)
I personally believe this deserves a much lower score, but that's just my opinion. :/

@Chrono
You know it!
Re: Celebrate 15 Years of Resident Evil With This Special Trailer
Mercs 3D and Operation Raccoon City are the 2 I need. Capcom is really outdoing themselves.
Re: Happy Two-Year "Nintendo Life" Anniversary
Hooray! Happy anniversary NL!
Re: Jill and Wesker Show Their Moves in New Resi: Mercenaries Video
Looks amazingly awesome. Guess I'm gonna have to get all of the Resident Evil games Capcom releases this time around.
Re: Capcom's 3DS Adventure Game Sounds Very Different
Papa Sangre uses 3D Sound as well. Can't wait to see if this can match the greatness of that game.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo has Nothing to Fear from Mobile Games

Re: Review: Bomberman Hero (Virtual Console / Nintendo 64)
Nice review, I'm still not completely sure about getting this game, but it seems really similar to one of my other favorite platformers: Ape Escape.
Re: Take On the Master Quest in Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
That picture of the shop looks fantastic.
Re: Bomberman Hero Gets Rated for Virtual Console
Huzzah!
Re: Features: 10 Sega Games We Want on 3DS

Re: Review: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (DS)
Hyped for getting this. I want it baaaad.
Re: No, You Cannot Fight as Samus in Dead or Alive: Dimensions
Thank god.
Re: Why the 3DS Will Not Use an Achievement System
I'm not opposed to achievements, either. I actually think games like Plants vs. Zombies and others improve with achievements, yet the last thing I want would to be seeing Zelda or Metroid have achievements. "You collected green rupee! 5G"
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
I love this game so much. It has secured a spot as one of my favorite games of all time.

Happy 2011 NL! Let's cherish our last year of being alive with a multitude of crazy dance parties. :3
Re: Features: NES Characters, Then and Now: Part One
I actually never really minded the cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid. They were perfectly lengthed for me.
Also, Samus. <3
Re: Review: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition (Wii)
Still getting it nonetheless.
Re: First BIT.TRIP FLUX Screenshots

Re: There May Never Be Another Smash Bros. as Hardcore as Melee
Yeah, I'm not gonna buy the next Smash Bros. game, plain and simple. I enjoyed Melee due to it's hardcore gameplay. Brawl was a bit more pale for me due to it's casual gameplay, and I refuse to waste 50$+ on a game I know I won't end up liking.

Re: Review: DJ Hero 2 (Wii)
Fantastic review, Trevor. This game actually looks really interesting, but the thing about DJ Hero that concerns me is the price. For the game and turn-table it goes for 100$+ online, and I don't have that kind of money to throw around on a single game. Looks like I'll have to pass. D:
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. Melee (GameCube)
Melee is a 10/10 IMO. Brawl vs. Melee is a classic 'Quality > Quantity' situation with Melee's 'quality' being it's superb physics, and Brawl's 'quantity' being it's huge variety of unlockables. I could point out how Brawl was only a blatant advertisement for the Kirby series and the Virtual Console service with some unpleasant filler in between, but I'd rather not get ravaged by vapid fanboys.
Re: Exclusive: Nintendo Bringing Back WiiWare Demos
All of the Bit.trip games, And Yet It Moves, the Art Style games, and the two Lostwinds games.
