I honestly hate how it's being released only a year after X/Y, too... Having said that, this is not another CoD situation. Both games are nothing alike.
I'll go ahead and say it: In comparison to the other Mario Karts, this one is by far the worst. Whoever it isn't is obviously blinded by nostalgia. Yeah yeah, 20 years old game.
The GBA version is bad in comparison to this one, I honestly don't know why Nintendo decided to release the GBA version instead of the SNES original...
...You mean outside of Japan, right? Right? RIGHT?! I'm not sure if you know, but you seem to know Japan's market so well so I'm sure you do, but they don't give a crap about home consoles any more.
@sinalefa Sakurai and some other dude played the Wii U version at last year's E3...
Oh my god, STOP TRYING TO GET ME HYPED FOR E3! It's going to make the wait incredibly unbearable...I need to chill. This year's E3 is going to crap! Bet they're gonna announce uhhh...New Super Mario Bros U2! [Heavy sigh] that's better...
Pokémon are not hard to draw at all (saying this as a Pokémon artist who has trouble drawing anything else), so I honestly don't see the point of this Art Academy game lol Maybe it's aimed at very young children.
...Huh, is it just me or the graphics look a little...sharper? I honestly think the second screenshot is one of the most gorgeous anything I've seen from this game. Maybe they're finally done with the 3DS version and are retouching the Wii U version?
@Jazzer94 Are you going to continue using that argument? They needed to make it clear to young players that Samus was a woman, which wasn't a well known fact (it wasn't known at all) back then.
If it makes you feel better, she only started using a less "sexualized" in Fusion, where she used trunks and a sports bra.
I hope Nintendo gives her a 3DS and makes her appear in some commercials... In fact, I think Animal Crossing/Tomodachi Life is the perfect game for her.
@Silent Because no one can fight in high heels, they look absolutely ridiculous. It's not about sexiness, it's about practicality.
Some Zero Mission concept art reveals the designers never intended Samus to have high heels, which makes her high heels in Other M AND NOW SMASH BROS make no sense.
Here's a funny thought: Put on some high heels and go to a fighting dojo. Let's see how long you last.
I thought including any sort of gay...anything in an E-rated game would increase its rating? It is unfortunate, sure, but I'm pretty sure it would've hurt the game more than anything...
Or maybe Fox News would've gone full silly and "informed" about it, which would lead to increased sales (cough mass effect cough)
"Despite the critical mauling Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 received at the hands of the gaming press, Konami's gothic franchise has arguably never been in better health"
Uhhh, yes it has. Lords of Shadow 2 has sold horribly, even worse than Mirror of Fate.
@Lavita There's nothing unique about the design on the left. It looks like the main character of a generic japanese RPG (yes, I know Gunvolt isn't an RPG)
Ugh, gotta hate Samus' high heels. You forgot about the concept art where the artist outright says THE HEELS SHOULDN'T BE TOO HIGH?! Come on, Nintendo... Other than that, best Zero Suit Samus by far.
Guys, believe me when I tell you you don't want to see Twilight Princess in HD. The textures are horribly SD and there's nothing the Dolphin emu can do about that...
@penfold007 In a way, that's very likely. Successor of Earth was already in english and Mother 3 has a professional fan translation. Heck, Tomato (M3's translator) already said he would give Nintendo the files for the translation if they want.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Confirmed For Worldwide 3DS Launch in November
Worst teaser ever...kinda fitting, considering this is probably the worst gen in the entire series
They're promising a "dramatic new world" though, so I SERIOUSLY hope it's not just a lame remake. Make it a sequel or even a re-imagination of R/S/E.
Re: Mario Kart Month: An Outsider's View Of Super Mario Kart

Yeah yeah, 20 years old game.
Re: Spike Chunsoft Wants To Release 3DS Title Attack On Titan In North America
The show is premiering in Toonami soon. They should hurry the hell up and localize the game.

Re: New Mario Kart 8 Screenshots Power-Slide Into View
What. Haven't you guys seen the Mario Kart Direct's trailer? The new rainbow road is shown there, it's NOT just a space station.
Re: Limited Time Pokémon Center Coming to Paris
I need one in Venezuela...
Re: Lucasfilm Decrees That All Star Wars Video Games Are Non-Canon
LOL big deal. Don't get me wrong, KotoR is one of my favorite games of all time, but why would I even care if they're considered canon or not?
[Looking at the fans of the EU books]
It's not like they have anything to do with the movies. The KOTOR games happen thousands of years before the Prequel and Original trilogy.
Re: Get Artistic With Pikachu In 3DS Title Pokémon Art Academy
Pokémon are not hard to draw at all (saying this as a Pokémon artist who has trouble drawing anything else), so I honestly don't see the point of this Art Academy game lol
Maybe it's aimed at very young children.
Re: Nintendo Lifts The Lid On Its Plans For E3 2014
Also, journalists reacting? LOL this ain't 2005.
Re: Nintendo Lifts The Lid On Its Plans For E3 2014
@sillygostly Black and White was released in 2010 in japan, so...
Also 3D games take more resources and time to develop.

Re: Review: Mario Golf: World Tour (3DS)

SCORE PENDING?
SCORE FREAKIN' PENDING?!
jk, this looks interesting! It doesn't seem to have that high an score on Metacritic, though. I'll be cautiously optimistic about this game.

Re: Talking Point: Horror and Metroid Could be a Perfect Fit
@Lasermaster123 The series is already very niche. May as well attract a new audience with an M rating or horror setting...
Re: Talking Point: Horror and Metroid Could be a Perfect Fit
Just make a normal Metroid game for the Wii U...use Metroid Blast's aiming system in a metroid game and we're set.
Re: NPD Results Bring Solid 3DS Numbers as Wii U Struggles

Re: Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Could Have Been a Nintendo Exclusive
@Jazzer94 I'm gonna guess most of the revenue comes from the dolls, since the last two games haven't sold all that well.

Re: Feature: Time For a Super Smash Bros. New Challenger Screenshot Blowout
@Havoc @Funny_Moblin
So? Even if we ignore the fact that she's fighting in freakin' high heels, you can't deny they're sexualising her just for the sake of it.

LOL good luck with that. I'm sure it will be as successful as the Move, PS Eye and PS Camera. As in, not at all.
@Thats-what-she That's the thing. Unless Nintendo does it first, they're not going to include any new gimmicks on their consoles.
