They were right to confirm that the games they were showing BEFORE E3. Remember how many of our expectations were let down at E3 2015? This year, knowing what to expect helped us enjoy it more.
@allav866 So you're saying that they shouldn't have expressed their resentment of the game in the most direct way possible? Their actions certainly pushed Federation Force certainly affected how much noise Nintendo continued to make about it - they barely talk about it now, they just want to make back whatever money they can.
It would be nice. Not necessarily needed, there are other ways to support Grimmie, but it'd be a good thing to do.
I don't understand why people are so vehemently opposed to the idea. Naming the singer after Grime wouldn't be of offence to anybody. People be like "You should stop trying to tell Nintendo what to do, they won't listen". Just because they won't listen doesn't negate people's right to express what they wish from Nintendo. I mean, it's not like Oprainfall did anything....riiiiiggghhht??

@smashbrolink funnily enough i think creating an all-new character to play as would take the focus away from Link as a face of the zelda series. You may argue that adding a second gender option for link might do so too, which leads us to the proposition "Should even have to do anything?" They certainly don't have to.
And, well, Lara Croft is certainly less of a blank slate given that she talks and expresses herself more overtly than Link. The reason Link has a personality is because the player bestows onto Link what we see for ourselves in him. Though, yes, it's true that Link has a greater degree of expression in Skyward Sword.
@AlanJones84 The thing is, Level-5 are always trying to make every western game they release into a monopoly, which is a big mistake, as it's unrealistic for them.
Happy that Nordic stuck with Wii U owners. I wouldn't the original Darksiders at all, though I would like the framerate to be a bit better than II on Wii U.
Or they could bring us Darksiders collection, but nah, they'll milk us for what we have.
How has The Homebrew Channel been used to pirate games at all on 3DS? I'm with the hackers here. Ninty shouldnt get so uppity about such a harmless hack
I need to understand what exactly has been compromised before I can have an opinion.
Lol I remember the Sun and Moon Direct in which the only information that came out was its Chinese translations, which were largely irrelevant to the rest of the world who was watching.
@Madder128 Yeah, depends where you live, quality of CeX stores can vary from shop to shop. If the OoT box's price tag is printed in, let's say, typewriter-y font rather than the new, more arial-like font, the box may have been there for a while, meaning its current value will be cheaper, likely...but I'm sure the staff would rather just look at said box and assume it's 40 quid.
@Madder128 I don't know what CeX you've been to but I most recently picked up Alien: Isolation for £8...unless UK tech prices have really lowered I wouldn't call that the regular price for Alien: Isolation
@TsukiDeity Does it explain about the water bit? Do you metaphorically dip it into metaphorical water? I'm so confused! Maybe I should give the game a pop to see it in action
I heard about this at the end of an M. Productions video, and I'm half-thinking that's where Nintendo Life found out about this. I hope Legend Maker does make it to Wii U if the devs are listening!
Possibly done because of the Modern Warfare remaster. Funnily enough, I was wondering if the CoD servers were still running considering that they didn't have the ussual Nintendo Wi-fi sticker on them. Guess this implies that Black Ops' servers are still running. Maybe I'll pop some cash for a copy of that as it must be dead cheap now; hope the multiplayer still has some life.
@aj_fowl My God, Red Steel 2 was one of the best example of motion controls in an FPS, perhaps more so than the Prime trilogy. As for Resi, I must say I do have a fondness for the old single-stick control system. Playing Revelations with dual stick controls feels like cheating.
Funnily enough, playing Fates recently has really got me into thinking about getting Code Name S.T.E.A.M. Loved that demo and the art style. Really not sure what didn't click with consumers.
@MGray I'm not Brazilian myself, so I confess that I am a poor authority on this kind of thing, but from what I have seen Brazil has absolutely demented taxes on consoles. If you can afford some of the prices I have seen, I salute you.
@Detective_TeeJay You're thinking of the debacle with Jim Sterling. He wanted to keep his videos ad-free by using footage from games published by companies who frequently DMCA videos. That way, the multiple companies who claimed ad revenue Jim's videos won't get to run ads on his videos. YouTube was embarrassed and changed the rules a bit: companies don't immediately get to run ads or run ad money immediately after they claim ad revenue a video. The issue is that if someone tries to repeal the claim, the one who files the claim, rather than the uploader of the content, gets final say, meaning that nothing much has changed. Moreover, nothing has changed to stop crap like in this article.
Bit of a tangent there. I'm honestly shocked that Fox DID retract their DMCA.

Boxboy is an awesome game. I like how it's designed to leave you stumped for just a few seconds before you move on.

Re: Video: Learn a Bit More About Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE and Its Dungeons
