I can't wait for Mario's official Timberland boots. Or will it be Wolverine? Perhaps Red Wing? Let the bidding war begin! They'll go good with his Carhartt overalls.
I wonder if Nintendo will ever just remake Super Mario Kart with those MK8 graphics. That would be awesome, even as just a download only game. And it would solve the dreaded blue shell problem!
While we're doing all this fun stuff, maybe dump the friend codes too and just let us have one Nintendo Network ID for Wii U, 3DS, smartphones, and whatever else they decide to put out next. Integration is nice, and streamlining your service across all your gaming gizmos and whatnot will only add to consumer confidence.
We certainly are in an exciting time to be Nintendo fans!
@Mahe But if they drop the Gamepad, you won't be able to access the eShop or do a bunch of other crap they deemed necessary to force you to do by using the Gamepad.
But seriously, the PS3 is $199 now. The Wii U needs to be at or below that price. Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros., and a $199 console just might be the shot in the arm the Wii U desperately needs.
I just finished this game today. Definitely a worthy sequel to my favorite Zelda game of all time. So many memories came flooding back playing this game, but nostalgia alone wasn't why this game was great. The gameplay and dungeons were pure gaming nirvana. Good show Nintendo, good show.
HOLD IT! They probably didn't elaborate on a platform because all the other games have been on Nintendo handhelds. At any rate, I'm just happy to hear they're making another new one.
Just make sure you know what charm table you're on before you make your character, kids. You don't want to end up like me, and waste 850+ hours before you realize your character is permanently gimped. The more you know!
The last time I ever went to Gamestop was when GBA was the reigning king of handhelds, and I went to buy Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. So, I go up to the guy and ask for the game, and he's all like "Awww man sorry bro the last one we have is the floor model, but lookie here we have the game box!" So he goes and boxes it up, and went and rang it up as full price. And I said, "Hey, wait a minute pal, you're charging me full price for a game that was already opened?" And he's all like "Yeah bro man, it's just as good as new! Fully guaranteed!" And I was all NOPE.AVI And that was the last time I ever went to Gamestop. I send my wife as a last ditch effort if I can't find a game at Target or somewhere like that. Let her deal with their constantly trying to get you to pay for extra crap.

Re: Talking Point: The Game Boy is 25 Years Old, and Deserves Its Place in Gaming History
I got my first GameBoy around '92-'93 for Christmas. I liked it a lot. It died in the great flood of '06. R.I.P. my GameBoy.
Re: Talking Point: Horror and Metroid Could be a Perfect Fit
Nah man, Metroid needs to be a FPS with big explosive set-piece moments, and 12 vs 12 online multiplayer with weapon unlocks and teabagging.

Re: Feature: Our Nintendo Moments of 2013 - Part Two
While 2013 was pretty good, 2014 looks to blow us all away. MK8 and SSB4 alone will probably be enough to keep us busy all year!
