I can't look at that Duck Hunt one without seeing the dog's head merging out of that duck's chest like some kind of horror from John Carpenter's The Thing.
I could actually see this kind of working. The SSB franchise has kind of established Mario as a fiery brawler so I could see him chaining ground shattering jumps into some epic flaming meteor attack with a huge blast radius.
The other characters have some real scope too. Fox darting around with bullet fast kicks while calling in Arwing air strikes or Landmaster support, Captain Falcon unleashing devastating Falcon Punches and maybe even Luigi, just getting by with sheer luck and combos based on fortunate accidents (tripping into enemies or running towards the camera while dropping bombs in a panic)
Doesn't mean it should happen though. It more than likely wouldn't meet expectations and could just end up being a reckless use of so many adored IPs.
I'm a huge fan of the man and his music. I find it kind of comforting that one of his tips is to find a mentor when I've considered him a mentor in my personal projects for a while now. Amazing interview! Love Mega Ran. Love NintendoLife.
That art piece is lovely but is anyone else slightly bugged by Bowser's hand/claw placement? It could just be me but I can't help looking at it and feeling it looks a little off.
All these labels taste like ash in my mouth. Blergh. Just keep making great games, Nintendo. Oh, and buy Platinum. Whatever, you know what you're doing (I hope).
I own both a Wii U and a PS4. I'm struggling for games to play on the PS4 though that catch my interest so it's since become my Netflix box and the Wii U my primary gaming platform.
@BSFsontails1012 I totally agree. It was watching Captain Falcon play the role of "Overwhelmingly powerful boss that you're probably scripted to lose to" that made me think of Ganondorf. I still have hope though as a Hyrule Warriors Direct would be an ideal platform for a reveal. You should check out FE:A, it's a damn good game
This looks great. Also I've heard that the game will contain 80 levels which I feel is more than enough to make it worthy of a full retail price. If it's true that is.
Side note - That bearded guy in the background in the Nintendo Team t-shirt looks like he's having the best time of his life.
I have to admit, after dabbling in Twitch streaming on the PS4 I can see where Reggie is coming from. Once the novelty had worn off I've never returned to the idea of streaming my gameplay. If I want to show a friend a Nintendo game I'll invite them over.
This is so typical of PETA. They do more harm to the animal rights argument than good. I'm sure some good points could be raised on the Pokemon/Animal abuse argument. Points that could be discussed and argued both ways but this is not how you go about doing it. This is just PETA begging for attention.
If Nintendo were to implement a unified account system I'd be very tempted to buy the Wind Waker edition Wii U. That's a purchase of 2 consoles for me alone and I know I can't be the only person to think this way.

Re: Poll: Which Characters Do You Want to Win the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot?
I voted on the balot twice. Once for King K Rool and a second for Banjo and Kazooie. None of which are on this list

Re: Splatoon Confirmed for May Release Along With Details on Customisation
I really hope we get a Collector's Edition packaged with one of those pixilated squid snapbacks. I love me a good snapback.

@MrGawain It's points like this that make me sometimes wish I could "like" comments (à la Facebook)
Re: Gallery: A Closer Look at the Six New amiibo Figures
Man, that Captain Falcon cast is looking sweet as all hell. Which is awesome because I've been maining him in Smash 3DS. Day 1 purchase for me

Sure, why not? I'll throw my hat in the ring....or racetrack or whatever...
Re: Capcom Is Remastering The GameCube Resident Evil, But It's Not Coming To Wii U
What is this betrayal? Well, I can't say I'm disappointed. I've not really had a stake in this series since RE4.
Re: Poll: Which is Your Favourite Super Smash Bros. Challenger So Far?
Oh man, I'm in the minority with 2% for Fox Poor little space pooch.

Re: Video: Hear The Link To The Past Dark World Theme In a Whole New Banjo Style
This is amazing
Re: Feast Your Eyes On The Official Super Smash Bros. Screens for Robin, Lucina and Captain Falcon
Ever so slightly off topic, but who else thinks that Ganondorf will get a reveal for SSB during a Hyrule Warriors Nintendo Direct?
Re: Nintendo Announces Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Tournament at San Diego Comic-Con
@Epicnessofme99 don't say that, man. Don't say it unless you mean it. The hype will tear me apart!

I have to admit, after dabbling in Twitch streaming on the PS4 I can see where Reggie is coming from. Once the novelty had worn off I've never returned to the idea of streaming my gameplay. If I want to show a friend a Nintendo game I'll invite them over.
Re: Massive Pokémon Reveals Occur During Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct
Some great reveals but was anyone else disappointed when the Dk Country Kremlings walking around in Smash Run didn't result in a King K.Rool reveal?
Re: Video: Watch Us Hungrily Unbox The McDonald's Super Mario Happy Meal
Great video. Love the dry British humour.
Re: Super Mario McDonald's Happy Meals Hit the Flagpole in the UK on 19th March
No Bowser toy? When are people going to show the villains some respect?

Probably for the best. Still need to complete Pokemon Y and Sonic Lost World.

Re: Assassin's Creed IV DLC Looks Set to Sail Past Wii U
Still the platform for me. Plus if I'm honest, I never really look into DLC too much. I'm usually fine with the core experience.
Re: Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag's Team Has "Worked to Improve" Overall Performance on Wii U
Well it would seem almost rude not to invest in this game now
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins Will Be Cheaper on Wii U
Well that's decided then I'm not the biggest fan of Online MP modes anyway so I kind of feel like the Wii U port has become the ideal version for me.

Re: Hideki Kamiya "Would Be Honoured" If One Of His Creations Made It Into Smash Bros.
I think Wonder Red would lend himself to the SSB style much better than Bayonetta. But then again another addition to the female roster wouldn't hurt.
Re: Rayman Legends Sells More Copies In The UK On Wii U Than Any Other Format
Picked it up today on Wii U. It's going to have to wait until I finish Wonderful 101 though
