No EA love? That's easy, Mad Men Football and Road Redemption are already delivering on levels EA could only hope to achieve.

I switched from 16GB to 32GB in my SD card slot last year and am still running out of space quicker than expected. You don't suppose they'll be making SD cards running 128 or 256 Gigs in the next two years, will they? :/

I really don't think Blackgate is all that bad... in fact it plays and looks better on Wii U's Gamepad than I'm sure it did on 3DS, and the price is nice too ($20 in US).

Something seems VERY suspicious here... I know it's ok for a Sony guy to own a competing platform but making his Miiverse comments public like this perhaps means he's got talks underway for a kind of Nintendo joint venture.

I'm glad Earthlock succeeded in funding. Now all I need is to wait another year... >___>

That sounds like AE's Football game... but with horror writers in a horror setting instead of historical figures in a football setting.

Oh wait, here it is...

I always thought Frozen's Anna was a big Nintendo fan.

PS There's a Mario Kart parody of "For the First Time in Forever" somewhere on Youtube, but right now I can't find the link.

I don't want to have to wait for a famous person to show up if I can just create my own version...

Why does this game even need to be developed? Nobody liked the original. Damn.... Shaq, I thought you were better than this.

Makes sense. Wouldn't want to try and beat both versions at the same time.

It looks like Nintendo is using DMW and the Mickey themed 3DS XL to exploit Disney much like they tried to exploit Square Enix and JRPGs with Kingdom Hearts.

Hey still better than the Rareware made Mickey racing games...

This seems like it would have been suited better to App Store. I just don't see DS or 3DS being home to gimmicky experiments.

This game will turn out far better on Wii U, graphically. The data might be more limited for eShop than disc but if they can pull of graphic levels higher than PS3 or 360 then that alone would be a milestone.

I'd be amazed if 3DS falters after this, but eventually they've got to come up with some kind of new product that plays both console and portable games. The strategy has already started on Wii U with GBA and DS... now they've got to consider making everything playable on both console and handheld.

This is another giant company that needs to wake up and smell the coffee. The majority of these Tales titles are Japan-only but JRPGs are selling far more worldwide. As always, if they can't provide the money for that special edition packaging they may as well make Reve Unitia an eShop exclusive.

Reviews have been mixed on 3DS but hey, still looks better than Castlevania Mirror of Fate. Will be picking this up along with W101 this week.

Shareholders and analysts both make up the troll majority of any market.

This looks like the GBA Zelda! Hopefully it will be as fun.

Undoubtedly a cash-in to sell even more 3DS's and keep Nintendo hardware afloat. And yes, Disney's Magical World is inevitable but I'll stick with Animal Crossing for all my virtual social life needs.

If that means they want to go back to emphasizing on the Super Nintendo/PS1 days of JRPG classics in order to sell more games then I'm all for it. Tomb Raider and Deus Ex are both well and good but they're not even RPGs and they also drag Square Enix into unfamiliar territory with Western tastes.

I expect to hear the name of this other developer for the very first time. I feel they're going to be a brand new developer that handles ports of other games.

@vonseux I'm pretty sure that's the kind of thing the Gamepad was built for, in order to lure more portable-friendly developers to a home console. Still beats PS Vita in cost alone.

@Gamer83 Haha, they might.

Most games these days like Bioshock and Infamous are fun, but they stand out more for being broad open worlds in HD than for being fresh and original experiences. If a big asset purchase were to happen and Sucker Punch or Naughty Dog are bought out then it would likely result in another franchise revival like with DKC or Luigi's Mansion. XDD

The only thing that really had me here were the graphics... till I realized these are PC screenshots. Yeah I'm sure the 3DS can handle most of this chaos but I'm not confident Saber Rider will turn out very good.

All this Ninty fanservice COULD spell out a merger between Sony and the Big N, but that's wishful thinking.

@Meaty-cheeky Sorry there bud. I played demos for both games and strongly preferred the Wii U version.

I decided to download this for the DLC alone. Yes, even though the main game is still pretty fun judging from the demo, I still think Sonic crossing over into Nintendo territory far outweighs the disappointingly rushed Wii-waggle Secret Rings and Black Knight.

Sonic and the Black Knight, sans waggle gimmicks and mediocrity.

Yeah, sure Peter. Ruin everyone else's fun. :I

The King of All Cosmos would at least make an awesome assist trophy.

The US game market isn't doing so hot right now (no thanks to robber barons like EA with their Zynga and PopCap brands raking in too much profit on casual titles) so Advance Wars hitting Europe first before America is the only way to assure international markets are still paying attention to GBA.

I'm all for them using Unity to support smaller-scale indie developers over giant corporations who only want to stuff their proverbial pockets with more cash over mediocre games. 3DS would be a great addition to Nintendo's Unity strategy.

I'm still waiting for a non-Metriodvania title to hit eShop, and thankfully 3 out of 5 titles fill the void somewhat.

He's clearly contradicting here. Saying Nintendo lost their way yet shouldn't be underestimated, only to claim later on the Wii U and Gamepad are not sexy all within that same interview? It's really ironic because he's produced more crap with the "Fable" name than recent Miyamoto and Anouma-made titles failed to meet expectations. Hell, Sonic games fared better.

Clearly shows what happens when you've sold your soul to a major corporation.

A new 2D Metriod or indie title by him would do wonders. My money's on the indie title though.

It's cool he still has a soft spot for the Big N after all these years. Makes me want to play Shadow Wars now.

Ty, first you bash Nintendo for their $100 extra fee on Gamepad support, now you beg them to help bring The Binding of Issac on both platforms? Make up your mind already. :/

So why not join Nintendo and Sony together to make a console that plays both Wii U and PS4 games? Doesn't mean they have to merge. It would be like that Panasonic Q only dual formatted... XDD

I still want this game! It might not stack up to the original in reviews in the end, but as long as it doesn't have that pesky screen gap like Yoshi's DS interfering with gameplay that already makes it better. XD

@Alshain01 You never can tell who many TV actors are... >_>

And how is this news? :/

I'm sure they will. 3D tech on the 3DS is hardly a substitute for VR but it hints at the kind of thing they would like pull off for the next gen DS as well as possibly a revamped Gamepad. XDD

These hacks were secretly funded by a certain disgruntled analyst....

Instead of complaining to us, Ty, why not try to get a little more in-depth with Nintendo reps on controller options? :/

Doesn't Square-Enix technically own Cooking Mama now? It used to be Taito until they were bought out...

Retail sucks anyway. Every store in the market never seems to carry the latest and greatest games, only the popular overhyped ones like Madden and CoD. Digital is the way to go.

Street Fighter 2010, huh? AVGN would NOT approve.

I really don't mind the style change of the character designs for Persona Q. I mean, it's semi-chibi and not full chibi like certain titles such as Blazebloo (DSi version of Blazeblue) and also, like they said, similar to Etrian Odyssey, which I thought was charming.

PS In the case of Console Wars: The Movie I'm expecting an "Atlas Shrugged" morale relating to objectivism where only the big money grubbers come out on top.

I love how movies based on printed material just show up out of nowhere and bear little cause except more wasted spending and an extremely toned down political message.

GDC does not represent 99.9% of every game developer out there. Many of those attending are pawns doing work for the major corporations, not indie or small developers.
