@Kizashi Yes, it looks like Breath of the Wild better be able to hold me over until April 28th when Mario Kart comes out. Good thing I have an Xbox and PS4 also.

If I wanted to voice chat with friends through my smartphone I would just call them on speakerphone. Why would I pay Nintendo for that. Also, Reggie tried to play this off like it was more convenient while you are mobile than using a gaming headset. That's ludicrous, what are we going to do, sit in public with our smartphones on speakerphone or attach a headset to our phones. Either way, it is less convenient.

Since when do we expect hardware generations to last longer than 4 years. With the exception of last gen and handhelds we have always had about a 4 year gap between hardware. Most people didn't adopt day on back in the day. They waited a year or so for the price to drop on SNES or N64 or ps2.

Maaaaaaan! I'm getting one! The price is great, I love the original NES controller and the games list has almost all the best NES games.

I love that this is inspired by the original Nes Zelda. In my opinion that was the best.

Kotaku ditched scores a while back and I think it's great. It forces folks to actually listen to what they have to say about the game instead of just focusing on a number.

I call bs. They ported snes games to Gameby Advance.

I had a super scope. I remember it gave me an awful headache trying to squint to use it.

@Will-75 I had this too. The fact that you could use the zapper was a huge selling point for 10 year old me.

@mjc0961 Splatoon has local multiplayer.

My nieces and nephews had a lot of fun playing Sing Party and Just Dance on the 'ol wii u this thanksgiving. Hands down, Nintendo has the best family/party games.

Mitchell came off as a real jerk in king of kong. I find it hard to believe there is any way of editing that movie to paint him as that big of a knucklehead without some of it being true.

Wow, I'm in NA and I was waiting to get this on 3ds instead of my ps4 because of the extra challenges, but I didn't realize it would be twice the price. Also, I planned on buying digital anyway. Looks like Sony gets my $$ this time.

The inconsistency is annoying as a gamer, but it must be really frustrating when you run an internationally viewed gaming website like Nintendolife. Do you cover games at the EU relaese, NA release or whatever comes first? Plus, you kinda feel like your rubbing readers noses in games they dont have yet. I frequent your sister site Pushsquare.com as well(those guys are great also) and they only have to worry about different sales between the EU and NA PlayStation stores. I hope with Nintendo's new approach they update their communication as well.

Congratulations! Nintendolife is awesome!!!!!

@SupremeAllah I'll have to check it out. Its been on sale a few times on steam and the Mac store.

I am already planning on not buying the next Metal Gear. I have played every metal gear to date with the exception of Rising, but Kojima is Metal Gear. I cannot imagine what it would be like without him, nor do I want to.

Although I live in North America This doesn't really apply to me. The Legend of Zelda series contains some of my favorite games; however, I am filing this under the same category as The Legend of Zelda four sword adventures. Meaning not for me.

Ive already gone all digital with everything but Wii U. Especially now that you can pre-load games for day 1 on Ps4. My 3ds had a 32 gb card which is more than sufficient. The physical end is nigh!

I am predicting holiday of next year.

This article made me google secret of mana on my iphone. Low and behold its on the App Store! Bought! I loved that game.

@6ch6ris6 Me too. This guy is a joke. I remember reading a 2 page article when the Wii, 360 and PS3 came out declaring that would be the last console cycle.

I will buy this on my wii u, but I would rather play it on my 3ds. The VC on 3ds has really dried up lately.

I played it until I died because I tried to open a door and the game took so long to load the door opening that the pursuing zombies ate me. In a game that has permadeath, you shouldn't have to worry about load times killing you.

Looks like this and Zelda will be NX launch games.

The new Apple TV remote handles like a wii mote. There was a demo of them playing a wifi sports style title with it.

The Legend of Zelda and Adventures of Link boxes were great. Their gold covers looked so swanky. I love the RPG boxes too. Like final fantasy and all the Dragon Warriors that looked like the cover of a Fantasy Novel and the you boot it up and it's chunky pixel art in the game itself. I remember the first Final Fantasy came with a SNES sized instruction manual that I read over and over(the NES books were half its size). Great talking point here. P.s. I love that the pictures are all staged with a power pad as the backdrop.

That was my favorite part of Mario paint.

@AlternateButtons I'm with you. I won't buy one of these, but if there was actual stock of amiibos you need to unlock in game content(I'm talking about you splatoon) this wouldn't appeal to very many people. They brought this on themselves.

@ricklongo I know! This is ingenious, why didn't anyone else think of this.

Mega Man and link are sweet! I love it.

@dariusq I have mine I bought when it first came out from electronics boutique back in the 90's. And every game for it (even waterworld).

LOL! When I filed for divorce I told my ex she could take whatever she wanted. She took everything that wasn't nailed down(even my curtains). I can laugh about it now as it's been like 12 years and I'm happily re-married for 6 of those years, but rejection makes normal people do really spiteful things.

Absolutely awful! Iwata seemed like a really awesome person in addition to his contributions to gaming. This news is very sad indeed. I will miss him.

That is the longest review I've ever seen end in a 4. And a 3ds eshop game at that.

Also, I would love a portable/home console. Like a super charged 3ds with a docking station to play on the tv at home.

The last Nintendo console that was the leader in "power" was the n64. Since then it's been awesome games putting Nintendo on top not gigaflops.

@Angelic_Lapras_King I believe I will buy them all. The Sega 3d classics are the best 3d classics.

I think I would have rather not known this. Then I wouldn't have to wonder what might have been. I think a new fzero is long overdue.

Splatoon is easily my favorite wii u game. I like how Nintendo is slowly releasing the maps and weapons, it keeps the game interesting and allows you to learn the ins and outs of the weapons and maps.

I'll grab Ryu and the stages. Maybe mega man x costume as well. Everything else meh.

@Kat maybe that is the currency used in the Nintendo Direct?

@ShanaUnite Exactly! Doesn't hurt that it's super fun too!

@datamonkey Well said.

I'm over it. Splatoon was the final straw. You have to buy amiibo to unlock the mini games that u play in between rounds? That my friend is ridiculous. This is content that should have been included for free.

At first it seemed short sided that you didn't have voice chat and the matches had random partners. But in the context of letting everyone have fun it makes perfect sense. The voice chat for obvious reasons, but the random match making makes even more sense. It sucks to hear "potty mouths", but it's even worse to get matched up against a group that plays 10 hours today and maps out complicated strategies and just get completely blown out over and over. Trust Nintendo and ye shall be rewarded. LOL!

I bought it last night, hit level five a few minutes ago, so far Splatoon is a lot of fun and definitely has wide appeal. My 5 year old daughter and my 65 year old father both sat and played a bit of it. Here's to another brilliant Nintendo franchise.

@Peach64 I was going to buy on iOS but was unsure of the quality and understand the voice over hasn't been localized. A 3ds version would be great control wise.

I would love a remake. Even better a whole new dragon quest in 3ds. That would sell like gangbusters I'm sure.

@ALinkttPresent have you ever played popolocrois? Because it was 100% RPG. One of the early great psp games.
