They did not sell the gamepad "concept" well, but it's a fantastic controller otherwise. The only controllers I like better are the pro controller and the gamecube controller. (I guess the PS3 controller is good too.)
@ThomasBW84 Splatoon is definitely #3 for gamepad usage! It's so weird when you watch gameplay of Splatoon because you usually can't see the gamepad.
Wow, there are a lot of people here that don't like Spongebob. Have you all watched the episode "Band Geeks"? If you've seen that one (which is one of the best) and don't like the show then by all means dislike it, but anything past season 3 is completely distorted from the original show.
Spongebob is a huge part of my childhood, but even so I completely detest anything past season 3, other than one or two ok episodes.
@Syrek24 Pro Tip: It's super easy to complain on the internet, it's also a free podium to express your opinion, as long as you stay inside the community rules. All but the best people in the world will write a upside-down comment every once and a while. The only way you will make any difference with your comments is if you try and see it from their point of view or use hard facts.
@MegaVeggieMan Not difficult? Did you try collecting all 30 melons and 3 hearts in a stage? It's notoriously difficult, super punishing as some melons you can only attempt once (bonus games), and the game hides melons in some of the most devious locations I've ever seen in gaming.
Nice article! The whole part about the state of the internet speaks to me in a particular way, if only because I can drone out inside it for hours.
About Miitomo, I sure like it but I need a few more friends to be able to say what I really feel about it. But Miifotos are great, no doubt about that.
If I could buy this game I would, but I can't stand the heart mechanic. This won't be enough to bring me back. (Yes I know the ftp model helps them churn out constant updates but it just doesn't work for me)
Mario Maker isn't a spin-off pfffffft. I like Mario Party more than I should, I think. But maybe there's just a special place in my heart for Mario Party 2 & 3.
Yeah this is a bit disappointing because Sticker Star was actually extremely polished...it's just that the battle gameplay was so freakin' boring and unsatisfying. But gameplay is the most important part of any game!
Not only are the costumes only cosmetic, but they're only used in the Super Mario Bros. theme anyway! I hardly have any reason to use these. (That being said I do like the E. Gadd one)
@abe_hikura Oh yeah I'm not saying they should, but I know a decent number of people who are obsessed with the originals and would love to be able to play silver/gold and transfer their Pokemons.
They also did the remakes for Red/Blue, and even though they are older GBA games you still can transfer those Pokemon to the newest games, so you still had an original game link prior to this VC release.
Holiday season is too late. I literally cannot get hyped for this for how far away it is. And no Pokemon Go announcement...hmmm, well I hope it gets here soon.
I'm not sure who really understands how big of a deal this is. If we get a Gold/Silver VC release that connects the entire chain of Pokemon games! That being said, I don't care that much, but that's really neat and I'm considering picking up yellow just a tad more.
@Manjushri Absolutely. As a recent example I nearly fell off my chair I was so ecstatic when I beat Lance in a heartgold nuzlocke. (That op son of a gun.)
@PlywoodStick And I think that's my problem with it. Well known youtubers get a pass while everyone else has to deal with laws—but they started out just like the rest of us.
@DefHalan The whole area is just a muddled mess. I don't think there should be any problem with this or let's plays, but when it comes to actually making money...then it gets weird.
I think my problem is I don't think anyone should be able to make money off of youtube (then its not just a hobby but a business), but people can...and I'm not saying the rule should be changed because some people who do it for a living deserve to make some money off it.
Point is it'd be easier if you couldn't make money off any videos and the copyright laws were looser, but that's just not how it is.

Re: Legendary Pokémon Zygarde, Shiny Xerneas and Shiny Yveltal All Coming to the US as Gifts
Kinda confused about the point of legendary Pokemon if they keep giving all of them away in such a short interval, and at level 100 too.
Re: Distribution Details Emerge for Mythical Pokémon Darkrai
Already have like 3 Darkrai so I'm not too worried.
Finally got my first legit Jirachi, and the other one I still don't have, Meloetta, is via internet I believe.
Re: Summer Games Done Quick 2016 Schedule Released
Opening with the best game! But seriously, I just played through that entire game recently so I'll be glad to see it done real fast.

Re: Review: Yoshi's Story (Wii U eShop / N64)
@Simbabbad Glad there's someone else here that understands. To this day, I don't think I've ever had a 180 melon play-through.

If I remember correctly ha ha.
Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Browser-Based '3D' Legend of Zelda Demo
If they didn't take it down they could never really sell the original again. That's just how it is.
Re: Random: Someone Hacked The Original Sonic To Include Sonic Boom's Annoying Chatter
I feel like, if I were to upload a video of a hacked game I'd get content id'd. So strange how you can upload these things to youtube.
But also, does Sonic actually talk that much in the game? About the same things over and over?

Re: Terraria Is Digging Its Way Towards A Late May Wii U eShop Release
If this has local multiplayer and the most recent version, I'm totally getting it. I just can't seem to get people in on the multiplayer over Steam.
Re: Research Firm Reckons Nintendo's Spent Nearly $527 Million on Research and Development This Fiscal Year
I remember when I was younger, I was always confused by the R&D on the door in DK64. It took me quite a while to figure it out.
Re: Video: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Has a Surprising Number of Glitches
Well it's obvious why I've never found any of these, ha ha.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of My Nintendo and Miitomo?
I didn't like these questions, but maybe that's because I have good things and bad things to say about both.
Re: You Can Have 1000 Friends In Miitomo, But No More Than That
I heard somewhere that you can only really keep track of 200 friends. Don't know how true it is, but seems reasonable enough to me.
Re: Guide: Getting Started With My Nintendo
How am I ever going to get enough gold coins for something with the 6 month expiration date? Especially when I like physical better than digital.
Re: Pokémon Go Field Test is Underway in Japan, Though Leakers Are Getting Removed
There's a lot I don't like about it, but if they make finding Pokemon in real life interesting I'm down for it.
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo NX Controller Images Surface and Set the Web Alight
I'm calling it, this'll be the first Nintendo console I pass up on! At least for the first three years or so.
Re: Pokémon Shuffle Gets a Major Update and New Features
If I could buy this game I would, but I can't stand the heart mechanic. This won't be enough to bring me back. (Yes I know the ftp model helps them churn out constant updates but it just doesn't work for me)
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Shares Hope That Miitomo and My Nintendo Will Connect Users With Company Brand
I'd like to try it, but will anyone else I know try it too?
Re: Review: Advance Wars: Dual Strike (Wii U eShop / DS)
WAIT. This is coming out on VC?!? YES! This was the best one hands down
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Mario Spin-Off Series or Game?
Mario Maker isn't a spin-off pfffffft.
I like Mario Party more than I should, I think. But maybe there's just a special place in my heart for Mario Party 2 & 3.

Re: Video: Nintendo Details Super Mario Maker's "Key Update"
But what time tomorrow? Based on previous updates it'll be the afternoon...
Re: Nintendo Warns It'll Block Rule Breaker's Access to Super Mario Maker's Online Features
What constitutes as a glitch I wonder? Some of you may be overreacting I think they're talking about the level hacking glitch, not in-level glitches.
Re: Paper Mario Colour Splash Coming to Wii U
Yeah this is a bit disappointing because Sticker Star was actually extremely polished...it's just that the battle gameplay was so freakin' boring and unsatisfying. But gameplay is the most important part of any game!
Re: Niantic Cancels Pokémon GO Presentation At Game Developers Conference
Dang this probably means it'll be out later than expected.
@TheAceofMystery GO should be out sooner. That's the way I see it anyway. Why get hyped for Sun/Moon when I still have to wait 9 months?
Re: Video: Check Out the Tanooki Statue Mario Costume in Super Mario Maker
Not only are the costumes only cosmetic, but they're only used in the Super Mario Bros. theme anyway! I hardly have any reason to use these. (That being said I do like the E. Gadd one)
Re: A Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Is On the Way
I know that's Wii U and 3DS, but come on Pokemon GO!

It's cool, but I'm not sure how much I care...
I probably won't download it.

Turned out better than the article makes it sound.
Makes me wish I was good at skateboarding so I could turn random things into skateboards ha ha.
Re: Video: Climbing Vines Has Never Been so Tough Thanks to This Super Mario Maker Level
Ha ha I must admit these levels are cool, and I'm glad I can watch people do them because I never would.
