WAIT WHAT IF THEY REMAKE SUPER MARIO RPG!!! (Yeah I know it won't happen but here's to hoping...) NO REALLY WHAT IF THEY REMAKE CHRONO TRIGGER... HD!!!
Anyway, I don't know why people continue to leave the Enix out of it all. Do you guys know that without Enix there would be no Square Enix as we know it today? Square was financially saved by Enix when the merge happened I hope you all know.
As for me I could go for a Final Fantasy 5,6 3DS. Final Fantasy VII PS4. Dragon Quest 8 HD for Wii U and PS4. Dragon Quest 3 HD for Wii U!!! If Dragon Quest 3 is ever remade for HD on Wii U Square Enix will never report another loss for the rest of the year. That game is just tooooo EPIC! So yeah, I think they should release HD remakes of both sides' most famous games. Square's being Final Fantasy VII and Enix's being Dragon Quest III. I just hope it isn't another smartphone game... ugh.
First of all this letter is kinda invalid. I can agree on some aspects but some things are just completely un-agreeable. >Okay the Zelda comment was just ignorant and stupid. I can try to respect your opinion but have you not played Zelda: Twilight Princess? That was the most fun I got out of my Wii besides Super Mario Galaxy 1&2, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
>I understand our frustration with there not being new games on Wii U. We're getting ports and potential shovelware. I understand but you can't get mad at Nintendo, the company who has been entertaining us for dozens of years, for not making a game in 24 hours.
It's not rocket science, we all know that CoD games come out in seconds because the framework is basically copied and pasted every time. The level of innovation and creativity is highly low. With Nintendo their games are being crafted on an unfamiliar platform. Their first HD console games that now have to somehow take advantage of the gamepad. I don't have anything against other third party developers but Nintendo is just brave. They're making games that not only just use the basic controller but a Tablet styled controller as well. Nintendo's games will take a lot longer to create because they're trying to create something that'll blow our minds. It's happened to me every Nintendo console since 64. They are planning something big and we'll know what it is this year's E3 and I have a feeling that their announcements will be overkill compared to Sony and Microsoft.
>Yes there are gamers that are mad about that Battle Field fiasco but really who went to buy a Nintendo Wii U for Battle Field? Where in the heck is CoD BO2 on the Wii U software charts? I know there are people who want AAA software like CoD, Halo, Battle Field, Crysis, etc. on a Nintendo but that percent is very low because most of the people who play those games own a PS3, XBOX 360 or are going to own a PS4 and XBOX 720. Gamers aren't tied to a specific console I can agree but it's pretty split down the middle here. As of now Nintendo need not worry about getting Battle Field 4 on the Wii U but worry about the next Mario Kart, Zelda, Smash Bros., 3D Mario, Pikmin 3 etc. on the console.
>Why so quick to doubt Nintendo? The company that brought us the top 15 Best Selling Games of ALL TIME! The company that saved the videogame stock market singlehandedly. Why in the wide world of sports are we doubting them now. We should be encouraging them! Negativity only makes Reggie and Iwata sweat but deep down they and I know that the Wii U is an awesome product but its hard to sell right now. The Wii U needs more ads and somebody who can explain the product clearly to a mass amount of people. I'm just appalled that even Nintendo fans are turning on them after all these years dubbing them doomed. The console hasn't even been out 6 full months yet. Good things come to those that wait. Just wait dagnabit!
It looks good graphically. It kinda makes me think this is how Zelda Wind Waker HD will look like. But the gameplay looks quite boring indeed. But you can't please everybody. People will like this game, people will hate this game, you know?
Well said, couldn't have phrased that any better. Dragon Quest wasn't meant for online, it just doesn't feel like Dragon Quest to me. Final Fantasy screwed after 10. And people wonder why JPRGS are dwindling.
If the Wii U is having a rocky start then the PS4 and Nextbox will be trudging over mountains. The Wii U isn't doing that bad it just isn't doing as good as the Wii. That's not saying much considering that in the Wii U/Wii comparison time frame the Wii U sold 3 million and the Wii sold 3.2 million units. If Nintendo doesn't outdo themselves they'll get doom posts, if Nintendo outdoes themselves they get doom posts. I've been around for a while this always happens. I happen to love my Wii U very much and I do see that it has a brilliant future ahead.
Can somebody explain to me what Animal Crossing is like? I've never played any of the games and it sounds like a lot of people like it. So what do you actually do?
I loved the beginning of the game honestly. It was mysterious and it built hype for the players. Trying to find out secrets that grownups of the island don't care for, that's pretty neat.
Have Paper Mario on 64 still, have Kirby Super Star already. I'm full on Wii games just give me better 3DS choices. At least put SMB or Zelda 1 up there.
The game has already sold over 1million in Japan. So 1/10 3DS owners have it. This is amazing. I want this game all too bad. It's a lengthy quest with puzzles, and interesting theme, and I want it.
I dunno about you all but that Wind Waker remake is looking pretty good. If this doesn't push more Wii U sales until the big fish come then I don't know what will honestly.
I hope that they introduce Gamecube and Dreamcast titles soon. This will increase the VC install base for sure. Since you can play SNES and NES games on the pad it's inevitable that NGC and Dreamcast are next. Please make it happen Nintendo! It'd be really neat if they release Mario Kart: Double Dash, Super Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, and Super Smash Bros. Melee to proceed the next gen game releases.
I just simply cannot wait. It's like a remake that isn't a remake. Toon Link looks like he could jump out the screen and slash you with his 12 inch sword. Nintendo, you just sold me a Wii U and you haven't even shown footage of Super Smash Bros. Mario, or a new Zelda. Well played Nintendo. 3rd party games are essential for Wii U's growth but Nintendo will manage on its own for quite some time.
I don't see why people bicker over Nintendo so. It's worthless! The company will die when need be. And I don't see that for at least another 100 years. Nintendo is a generational thing. Kids will enjoy pokemon and mario for years to come. When Nintendo runs out of money and their top creators are gone then we should expect some slow down from the company. welp until then let's just sit back and wait for what Nintendo has for us, shall we?
I can't wait for this. I just knew they'd shift to full 3D this time. If you could have 2-player via wireless connection, that'd make me buy 2 copies! I've always been lonely in past pokemon games after I've done it all. Playing with somebody around the world wound be absolutely fantastic.
Let's not forget one of the first games to introduce layer platforming... Wario Land for Virtual Boy! I loved that game! Very happy to hear this though. I loved the 4-1 theme on MM1 I'll definitely get this. Howcome Nintendo isn't this consistent with DLC?
I see where you're coming from but you gotta understand that 7 years ago, our recession wasn't as grousome as it is today. The PS3 might have sold more, which I think isn't that accurate, but they're just now making profit on the console 6 years later. No, the Wii U isn't Nintendo's best selling console yet or ever but If the U fails then the PS4 is doomed. I mean what else can a console do nowadays besides improving specs? We'll just have to wait until they can advertise the product better and when more people have excess cash to blow.
The Wii caught fire because it caught everybody off guard. It was different and engaging for the time. For Wii U it is different but harder to advertise. Not only did this make sales units a little less Wii worthy but also the horrible mix of high price and recession.
The Wii U will succeed or Nintendo isn't Nintendo. I see this system selling better when greater games arrive. Nintendo's strategy since forevermore.
@hydeks I guess the extra cost comes in at being able to carry the game 25 feet away from the TV. But $30 extra is an insane price indeed! I'll pay $60 for Nintendo's first parties any day tho.
Did the Wii have "Next Gen" CPUs? And how successful was that intended fiasco? Nintendo will deliver in time. Ever since DS their strategy has been to make well rounded hardware. Not make it the most powerful thing on the Earth. They make a large profit due to their 1st party titles and rely on 3rd party to bring in whatever they can. It has worked for them since, seeing that they're the most profitable video game company.
Next gen depends on how useful the system is. The Wii U does have its flaws but what console doesn't? How come nobody criticized the 360 and PS3 when they didn't have motion control. Why weren't they "next gen"? JK I just want Nintendo to do well since all people seem to want to do is bash their every move until they are baffled themselves.
Then everyone who bought a Xbox or Ps3 would have bought a Wii then. I'm not saying everybody wouldn't buy Nintendo games, I'm saying that not a substantial amount of people own 2 or more 7th gen consoles. I have all 3, I'm speaking from friends I know which are probably fanboys to say the least.
Hey, it's not an opinion it's a fact bro. Nintendo won't put their games on a playstation or Xbox because they're a competitive company. When you think about it Nintendo games do best on Nintendo consoles. With the top 14 best selling games being Nintendo's own I don't see them changing their ways.
Game stop gave me a jank Ps3, Soulcalibur 4, and even a WiiShop card that didn't work. I still like Gamestop tho.
I think the Wii U didn't do so good is for
1)It has a hefty price for a country just stumbling out of depression.
2.)The launch lineup was big and bad, literally. People need to understand that people will only play Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles.The only Nintendo games to be released are NSMBU and Nintendo Land which are argueably sub-par to say the most. Nintendo will find its groove when these games release: Mario 3D Wii U, Zelda U, SUPER SMASH BROS UNIVERSE, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart U, Dragon Quest X, Metroid, Miyamoto's new IP, and hopefully that rumored Yoshi's Island game(YEEESSSS!)
3.)Ports of already released games which look slightly worse than the other versions. Who'd buy a port of a game that just came out! Call of Duty and Halo will never succeed on Wii U because the fanbase for those titles in the Nintendo fanbase is weak to say the least. I mean, how poorly would mario have done on an Xbox.
4)Hopefully the Virtual console on Wii will merge with the new one and it must include: Dreamcast titles, Sega Saturn titles, Sega CD titles, Gamecube titles, and yes probably Wii titles as well.
Just give Nintendo time. This isn't 2006 where the economy was okay and Nintend was a magic bean from Jack and the beanstalk. Now we have to plant Nintendo and slowly watch them grow.

Yeah, I heard that. It's because Nintendo wants to make new fans from the inside out. Since millions of people own mobile phones it will only do Nintendo justice.
The bottom artwork looks like Sega's(USA) Phantasy Star 2 box art! Disgusting!! This is anything but link. I'm not saying this absolutely sucks(which it kinda does imo) but it isn't for Zelda broski.
I think that Super Smash Bros. U should have a feature like this. Downloadable characters and stages made by the company would be the best thing that ever hit the series imo.
Being a Dragon Quest&Final Fantasy guy I didn't give any other RPG a chance. I never liked modern style RPGs until I played Earthbound. Ness was unknown to me until SSBMelee and I wanted to know who he was and how to find Fourside's origin. I found myself wanting something different than slaying dragons and collecting crystals and Earthbound delived quite well. With it's quirky music, excellent charm, and sense of independence it was all I wanted. It's now on my top 5 RPGs ever. Long live Earthbound!
Well, if 3ds is in trouble then PS Vita is on lock down. I'll get a Wii U next year when greater games are announced. Wii U needs... Smash Bros. Super Mario Galaxy 3/Universe Mario Kart U Zelda Wii U Dragon Quest XI(11) Donkey Kong Kirby, in order to succeed greatly. SSBU is 10 million Wii U units at least.
3DS needs... Super Mario 3D Land 2 Dragon Quest 7(YEEEESSSS!) Super Smash Bros. 3ds An original Zelda title and other Nintendo franchises to achieve great success.
The question is no longer "can the 3ds out do PSVita?" but "what other killer apps can Nintendo deliver besides Super Mario 3D Land?"
You can't beat Mario Kart but you can compete. But let's recall Super Mario Kart SNES to Sonic Drift... yeah. I think sonic should go back to foot racing like Sonic R. Mario is kart ridden because he cannot run as fast as sonic. If you're the "fastest thing alive" then prove it. Nevertheless the game seems entertaining but not as much as Mario Kart.
Cannot wait for this! Paper Mario has always been that game that helped me get away from the sword swinging dragon fighting RPGs such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. It's a great, different, humorous series that made me a fan.
My sister started playing on my old N64 a while ago and she's beaten it at least 100 times. It's a Rpg anyone can play. TTYD only advanced the series to the best paper mario to date. Paper Mario is a staple RPG for me and i'll gladly spend that $43.60 for it.
Great! Wii Ware wasn't all that great but everything has its ups and downs. Wii Ware had about 10-15 good games.
Now, i hope developers make fantastic games for the eShop. Sega seems low on dough so don't expect much more Sonic 4. Nintendo now understands that it's better to make friends than enemies... 40MB come on!
Not to be rude but how do think Playstation and Sony offer their past generation games for download? Didn't you see that 3ds games have digital copies up to 8gb? Some could even be 32GB if you download on a 32GB SD card but very few developers would do that considering the low available space.
Nintendo about to run into some cash if they do it. It really wouldn't be hard to remap the controls from Gamecube to the tablet, classic, or pro controller. Think about it! They could make a pro-controller why not make a Gamecube controller peripheral in the same fashion?
They'll do it, and if i can take SSBM across my house on a tablet then sign me up Nintendo! Dreamcast can effortlessly be emulated on Wii U from the specs if they do it correctly.
For Gamecube i'd get: Mario Parties, Tales of Symphonia, Smash Bros., Super Mario Sunshine, Baiten Kratos Origins, Sonic Adventure 1&2, Wind Waker, Mario Kart DD-ha!, Pokemon Coliseum(s), Skies of Arcadia, Zelda: Four Sword Adventures, Resident Evil 4, Pikmin... puff huff... that's it for now. Being able to play the game on the tablet will be a great selling point. Just imagine... "SON! QUIT PLAYING ZELDA WII U AND GO TO BED!" Son: Okay dad,... you play it under your covers on the pad as the console is on downstairs. Friggin' AWESOME!
Face Raiders gets boring after a while Nintendo! Oh crap! They're probably gonna pack in Battle Mii as digital software just like face raiders and then expect you to get the good games. Not a smart move with a console nintendo... not a smart move.
The games won't be $99 USD! If the console is only a bit more powerful than current gen. that doesn't mean 49 more bucks powerful. That's saying the wii equals one wiiu game. It'll be $60 no doubt.
If Nintendo doesn't pack a game in then it'll sell you a box with nothing on it. Much like my 3ds before I got 3d land.
It'll sell. Nintendo has set a reputation for themselves. If it doesn't sell well, neither will the 720 or PS4. Why? This financial crisis that's erupted over the past 8 years. It's taking a toll on game developers and gamers. That's why gamers are turning to cheaper, lamer, less creative games on smart phones. I don't see why you'd play a iphone gamer over Super Mario 3D Land other than the price.
Then again shoppers spend more around the holidays so 250 bucks will seem reasonable especially against Microsoft's and Sony's 600$ systems.
They should. Nintendo has always made game bundles.
NES-SUPER MARIO BROS. SNES-SUPER MARIO WORLD IDK ABOUT N64 GAMECUBE-SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE WII-WII SPORTS.
As I played the AR games on my 3ds I said "you know what'd really be cool? If you made games featuring nintendo characters built with the system. That would allow people to have something fun to play without yet buying an actual disc game." About a month later Nintendo announced Nintendo Land.
They read my mind. Just what I expected from Nintendo. If they don't I don't see many people buying one. You can't get a hamburger without the beef patty. That's all I'm sayin'.
Compared to Brawl this is crude but the game did surpass every fighting game before it. I still play today just to hear "DOINK" when mario does his windup punch. Those were the days... 99 man battles... yeah.
Still have the original cart along with all of Nintendo's classic N64 games. Why not offer better games for 3ds? I'd kill for Link's Awakening DX if I didn't have it on wii.
I want this so bad. One of the reasons I even got a 3ds. Just a classic and in my OPINION kills Pokemon's same ole story. I'm not a fan boy I still love Pokemon so chill.
I see what Nintendo's doing. They introduce new features moderately so they don't run out of ideas that quick. I really don't see what else the PS4 and 720 can do besides copy off Nintendo. I'm just being logical here.
Duh Nintendo... It's taken you guys this long! I suggest doing the same with Super Smash Bros. Universe adding DLC for stage builder, downloadable characters, and stages that you pay with your in game coins that you earn.

Anyway, I don't know why people continue to leave the Enix out of it all. Do you guys know that without Enix there would be no Square Enix as we know it today? Square was financially saved by Enix when the merge happened I hope you all know.

Nintendo will find its groove when these games release: Mario 3D Wii U, Zelda U, SUPER SMASH BROS UNIVERSE, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart U, Dragon Quest X, Metroid, Miyamoto's new IP, and hopefully that rumored Yoshi's Island game(YEEESSSS!)
3.)Ports of already released games which look slightly worse than the other versions. Who'd buy a port of a game that just came out! Call of Duty and Halo will never succeed on Wii U because the fanbase for those titles in the Nintendo fanbase is weak to say the least. I mean, how poorly would mario have done on an Xbox.
4)Hopefully the Virtual console on Wii will merge with the new one and it must include: Dreamcast titles, Sega Saturn titles, Sega CD titles, Gamecube titles, and yes probably Wii titles as well.
Just give Nintendo time. This isn't 2006 where the economy was okay and Nintend was a magic bean from Jack and the beanstalk. Now we have to plant Nintendo and slowly watch them grow.
Re: GameStop Sales of Wii U Are Reportedly "Slightly Disappointing"
Game stop gave me a jank Ps3, Soulcalibur 4, and even a WiiShop card that didn't work. I still like Gamestop tho.
I think the Wii U didn't do so good is for
1)It has a hefty price for a country just stumbling out of depression.

Re: Feature: Our Staff's Thoughts on Wii U - Part Two
@Skotski
Yeah, I heard that. It's because Nintendo wants to make new fans from the inside out. Since millions of people own mobile phones it will only do Nintendo justice.
Re: Satoru Iwata is 53 Today
@MeloMan
Shigeru Miyamoto is 60, just turned 60 not to long ago. He does look much younger.
Re: Satoru Iwata is 53 Today
Have a very Happy Birthday:D And DON'T DIE SOON! You still got work Iwata...JK but really have a great bday:)
Re: If Nintendo Ever Made A Mature Zelda, This Is What It Would Look Like
The bottom artwork looks like Sega's(USA) Phantasy Star 2 box art! Disgusting!! This is anything but link. I'm not saying this absolutely sucks(which it kinda does imo) but it isn't for Zelda broski.
Re: If Nintendo Ever Made A Mature Zelda, This Is What It Would Look Like
Now we all know Mr. Miyamoto wouldn't allow that.
Re: uPlay App Now Available on Wii U eShop
I think that Super Smash Bros. U should have a feature like this. Downloadable characters and stages made by the company would be the best thing that ever hit the series imo.
Re: Feature: Reinventing Nintendo's Legacy Franchises on Wii U
Being a Dragon Quest&Final Fantasy guy I didn't give any other RPG a chance. I never liked modern style RPGs until I played Earthbound. Ness was unknown to me until SSBMelee and I wanted to know who he was and how to find Fourside's origin. I found myself wanting something different than slaying dragons and collecting crystals and Earthbound delived quite well. With it's quirky music, excellent charm, and sense of independence it was all I wanted. It's now on my top 5 RPGs ever. Long live Earthbound!
Re: Wii U on Plenty of U.S. Christmas Lists
Well, if 3ds is in trouble then PS Vita is on lock down. I'll get a Wii U next year when greater games are announced.
Wii U needs...
Smash Bros.
Super Mario Galaxy 3/Universe
Mario Kart U
Zelda Wii U
Dragon Quest XI(11)
Donkey Kong
Kirby, in order to succeed greatly. SSBU is 10 million Wii U units at least.
3DS needs...
Super Mario 3D Land 2
Dragon Quest 7(YEEEESSSS!)
Super Smash Bros. 3ds
An original Zelda title and other Nintendo franchises to achieve great success.
The question is no longer "can the 3ds out do PSVita?" but "what other killer apps can Nintendo deliver besides Super Mario 3D Land?"
Re: First Impressions: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
You can't beat Mario Kart but you can compete. But let's recall Super Mario Kart SNES to Sonic Drift... yeah. I think sonic should go back to foot racing like Sonic R. Mario is kart ridden because he cannot run as fast as sonic. If you're the "fastest thing alive" then prove it. Nevertheless the game seems entertaining but not as much as Mario Kart.
Re: First Impressions: Paper Mario Sticker Star
Cannot wait for this! Paper Mario has always been that game that helped me get away from the sword swinging dragon fighting RPGs such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. It's a great, different, humorous series that made me a fan.
My sister started playing on my old N64 a while ago and she's beaten it at least 100 times. It's a Rpg anyone can play. TTYD only advanced the series to the best paper mario to date. Paper Mario is a staple RPG for me and i'll gladly spend that $43.60 for it.
Re: Indie Developers Speak Highly of Wii U eShop
Great! Wii Ware wasn't all that great but everything has its ups and downs. Wii Ware had about 10-15 good games.
Now, i hope developers make fantastic games for the eShop. Sega seems low on dough so don't expect much more Sonic 4. Nintendo now understands that it's better to make friends than enemies... 40MB come on!
Re: Rumour: GameCube Coming to Wii U Virtual Console
@Omega
Not to be rude but how do think Playstation and Sony offer their past generation games for download? Didn't you see that 3ds games have digital copies up to 8gb? Some could even be 32GB if you download on a 32GB SD card but very few developers would do that considering the low available space.
Re: Rumour: GameCube Coming to Wii U Virtual Console
Nintendo about to run into some cash if they do it. It really wouldn't be hard to remap the controls from Gamecube to the tablet, classic, or pro controller. Think about it! They could make a pro-controller why not make a Gamecube controller peripheral in the same fashion?
They'll do it, and if i can take SSBM across my house on a tablet then sign me up Nintendo! Dreamcast can effortlessly be emulated on Wii U from the specs if they do it correctly.
For Gamecube i'd get: Mario Parties, Tales of Symphonia, Smash Bros., Super Mario Sunshine, Baiten Kratos Origins, Sonic Adventure 1&2, Wind Waker, Mario Kart DD-ha!, Pokemon Coliseum(s), Skies of Arcadia, Zelda: Four Sword Adventures, Resident Evil 4, Pikmin... puff huff... that's it for now. Being able to play the game on the tablet will be a great selling point. Just imagine... "SON! QUIT PLAYING ZELDA WII U AND GO TO BED!" Son: Okay dad,... you play it under your covers on the pad as the console is on downstairs. Friggin' AWESOME!
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Land May Not be Bundled With Wii U
Face Raiders gets boring after a while Nintendo! Oh crap! They're probably gonna pack in Battle Mii as digital software just like face raiders and then expect you to get the good games. Not a smart move with a console nintendo... not a smart move.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Land May Not be Bundled With Wii U
The games won't be $99 USD! If the console is only a bit more powerful than current gen. that doesn't mean 49 more bucks powerful. That's saying the wii equals one wiiu game. It'll be $60 no doubt.
If Nintendo doesn't pack a game in then it'll sell you a box with nothing on it. Much like my 3ds before I got 3d land.
Re: Talking Point: Wii U and the Next Generation of Consoles
It'll sell. Nintendo has set a reputation for themselves. If it doesn't sell well, neither will the 720 or PS4. Why? This financial crisis that's erupted over the past 8 years. It's taking a toll on game developers and gamers. That's why gamers are turning to cheaper, lamer, less creative games on smart phones. I don't see why you'd play a iphone gamer over Super Mario 3D Land other than the price.
Then again shoppers spend more around the holidays so 250 bucks will seem reasonable especially against Microsoft's and Sony's 600$ systems.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Land May Not be Bundled With Wii U
They should. Nintendo has always made game bundles.
NES-SUPER MARIO BROS.
SNES-SUPER MARIO WORLD
IDK ABOUT N64
GAMECUBE-SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE
WII-WII SPORTS.
As I played the AR games on my 3ds I said "you know what'd really be cool? If you made games featuring nintendo characters built with the system. That would allow people to have something fun to play without yet buying an actual disc game." About a month later Nintendo announced Nintendo Land.
They read my mind. Just what I expected from Nintendo. If they don't I don't see many people buying one. You can't get a hamburger without the beef patty. That's all I'm sayin'.
Re: Reward Yourself With Smash Bros. on NA Club Nintendo
Compared to Brawl this is crude but the game did surpass every fighting game before it. I still play today just to hear "DOINK" when mario does his windup punch. Those were the days... 99 man battles... yeah.
Re: Reward Yourself With Smash Bros. on NA Club Nintendo
Still have the original cart along with all of Nintendo's classic N64 games. Why not offer better games for 3ds? I'd kill for Link's Awakening DX if I didn't have it on wii.
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters 3D Bundle on the Way to Japan
@sykotek That actually looks quite professional in a sense. I like it more than the other one.
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters 3D Bundle on the Way to Japan
I want this so bad. One of the reasons I even got a 3ds. Just a classic and in my OPINION kills Pokemon's same ole story. I'm not a fan boy I still love Pokemon so chill.
Re: Talking Point: Wii U and the Future of the Online Pass
I see what Nintendo's doing. They introduce new features moderately so they don't run out of ideas that quick. I really don't see what else the PS4 and 720 can do besides copy off Nintendo. I'm just being logical here.
Re: Nintendo Wants to Keep Old Titles Fresh with DLC
Duh Nintendo... It's taken you guys this long! I suggest doing the same with Super Smash Bros. Universe adding DLC for stage builder, downloadable characters, and stages that you pay with your in game coins that you earn.
