Developer of the year is good and all but...they really got robbed.
Not only did Bayonetta lose to SHADOW OF MORDOR as best action game of the year, Sm4sh lost to a freaking card game as best handheld game? That's just sad. On the other hand, Bayonetta will probably get a bunch of GOTYs from IGN, Gamespot and whatnot...specially from Gamespot. That 10.
Hopefully the next game's catered towards adults. Stop making the games so damn easy, introduce less kid-friendly (boring) characters like Serena and her lame trio and more like Blue and Silver. To cater towards an older audience you don't need blood and bewbs...
At this point I'm hoping next year is the Wii U's last... Focus all your devs on your portables, Nintendo. Or make a new console with an adult focus...like you tried to do with the Wii U...
@LittleIrves "That game doesn't need a TV ad right now"
That's fine for hardcore gamers, but the general audience has terrible long term memory. They don't even remember what Smash Bros is.
So yes, of course it does.
Also this commercial's the same casual friendly bulldoggeypoopieoopsiepoodle Nintendo puts out every year. What is going on with their marketing department? Why don't they make a commercial with ADULTS playing Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors and Sm4sh?
At least the Sm4sh U commercial didn't have any kids...
Considering how long it took + "this is not going to be just another remake", I'm guessing they added a lot of stuff. They probably redesigned the great bay temple for the people that somehow had trouble with it...
I'm worried about the game...the game is almost out and there's not a single commercial uploaded to Nintendo's channel, that must mean no TV commercials.
For christ's sake Nintendo, word of mouth can only do so much! Start advertising your damn games... Fire Iwata and Regie.
Uh, the next clone needs to look NOTHING like Minecraft. Get rid of the 16-bit art style, keep the blocky look (for mining, obviously. There's no workaway there).
Not really worried about Bayonetta 2's/Fatal Frame's (well, it depends on if it's released outside of Japan or not...) sales. You know what other game flopped there? Wind Waker HD. And Hyrule Warriors.

Re: Sega Looking To Turn Streets Of Rage, Shinobi, Altered Beast And Crazy Taxi Into Movies And TV Shows
All these could actually work if done right.
Damn, it seems like we're experiencing a new videogame movie boom! First comic books (thanks marvel), now this!
Hopefully Nintendo's the pioneer...
Re: Video: The Top Ten Worst Designed Pokémon Ever
@-Crystalline- Yeah. Because a pile of purple goo was much better.
Or a poké ball with eyes.
Re: Video: The Top Ten Worst Designed Pokémon Ever
What a terrible list. "Most of Gen V"? It should be "Most of Gen 1".
Get this taken down.
Re: Sony Pictures Is In Negotiations With Nintendo To Make A Super Mario Movie
@shaneoh Studio Ghibli = Nintendo = Confirmed flop/Limited release.
Ghibli doesn't do CGI movies. Hand-drawn movies don't sell anymore.
There's also this thing about Ghibli kind of not existing anymore...

@LUIGITORNADO Starving kids? Screw that, GOTTA SUPPORT MY ADDICTION TO COLLECTABLE TOYS!
Re: Weirdness: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Fans Find Fun New Ways to Brawl
"the absence of that feature may be to avoid mature stage shapes and types from flooding the game"
Hopefully not. Nintendo needs to stop worrying so freakin' much about little poopoojerks.
Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For A Nintendo Phone

@SCAR392 "I figured as much"
Ayyyyy!
I'm not at all surprised. It was a dumb rumor.

Re: UK Retailer GAME Cashes In On Intense amiibo Demand By Hiking Price
Not only are they a great form of DLC...uh...PSC? (PhySical Content? I dunno...), they look pretty on a shelf!
Not surprised by these news.
Re: Weirdness: Defective Fox and Villager amiibo Now Appear on eBay
The Fox one is actually pretty cool!
The Villager one is just sad.
Re: Rumour: Has Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem Been Cancelled?
Great. Now IS can focus on making a great standalone Wii U game.
Another new IP, perhaps...?
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Admits That Super Smash Bros. for Wii U May Be His Last in the Series
You're gonna be missed, Sakurai, but I'm sure the franchise will be left in capable hands... ... ..get it? ...Hands? Because Sakurai's ha--
Now REPLACE IWATA AS THE HEAD OF NINTENDO!
Re: Nintendo Brands Come Out on Top in Tumblr "Year in Review" Results
...I don't think that really means much. Dangan's ropa is #5, and that franchise's popularity (or lack of) is nothing remarkable.
At all.
Re: Latest Sales Data For Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Finds Fans Are Growing Older
Hopefully the next game's catered towards adults. Stop making the games so damn easy, introduce less kid-friendly (boring) characters like Serena and her lame trio and more like Blue and Silver.

@LordOfGamez Original package.

Re: Atlus Confirms Etrian Odyssey X Mystery Dungeon and Reveals Etrian Odyssey V Teaser
@Maelstrom Why the hell would it be on the Vita.
Re: Weirdness: Factory Error Results in Dual-Wielding Samus amiibo
Geez.
Thankfully Samus can make parts of her suit disappear. This looks so cool though, I want one!

Re: Eiji Aonuma Discusses Changes On the Way to Majora's Mask 3D
@blackbox64 "I hope Goht is changed"
Why the hell would do that.
Re: Sony: PS Vita Is Better Than 3DS And The Wii Brand Is A "Shadow Of Its Former Self"
@StitchScout How does PS4 win in home consoles? It has nothing but overhyped (read: disappointing in the end) games. And ports.
Tons and tons of ports. Available in every single console.
Lesson of the day, get a PC.
Re: Announcement Of "Delta Episode" Brings More Legendaries & Additional Story Arc To Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
This is honestly what I wanted: Brand new content set in Hoenn. Not the same boring game.
At least I'm getting some of that.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Confirms Majora's Mask 3D Has Been In Development Since 2011
@Kaze_Memaryu Considering the sales of Zelda in Japan, I doubt that.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Confirms Majora's Mask 3D Has Been In Development Since 2011
@platoonleaderg ...This game's development team had nothing to do with Wind Waker HD or any other Zelda game, you ignoramus.

Re: Pokémon X & Y Won't Be Patched to Accommodate New Mega Evolutions
And to no one's surprise, Game Freak continues the path of Nintendo's most uninspired and laziest developer.

Fire Iwata and Regie.
Re: Capcom Won't Greenlight Sequels If A Game Doesn't Sell Over Two Million Copies
So uh, this doesn't include Ace Attorney, I'm guessing? They are pretty cheap to make, after all. Being visual novels.
Re: Capcom Won't Greenlight Sequels If A Game Doesn't Sell Over Two Million Copies
@ferrers405 AA is getting two sequels: Dai and 6.
Re: Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow to Complete GBA Trilogy on Wii U Virtual Console
@Ryno No. Circle of the Moon's controls are way too clunky to be considered the best.
Not to mention there's more variety of powers in Aria.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Battles Into Top 5 of UK Charts
And to no one's surprise a Nintendo game doesn't sell so great in the UK.
Re: Video: You'll Be Able To Play As Metroid's Samus Aran In Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
@I-U ...Why.
Re: Video: You'll Be Able To Play As Metroid's Samus Aran In Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
And of course they're using the horrible Other M suit...
Re: Gallery: A Closer Look at the Six New amiibo Figures
The Zelda and Pit ones look too derpy...
I wanted to get a Little Mac, but he looks too white
I guess I'll have to stick with Luigi, Cap'n and Diddy...those look the best.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Two More Début Releases Coming to the Virtual Console
Harmony of Dissonance sucks, though.
Re: More Minecraft Mania Looks Set for Wii U With Stone Shire

Re: Super Smash Bros. Slams the Competition Yet Again, 3DS Sales Drop
Not really worried about Bayonetta 2's/Fatal Frame's (well, it depends on if it's released outside of Japan or not...) sales. You know what other game flopped there? Wind Waker HD. And Hyrule Warriors.
Re: Hyrule Warriors Horses Around with Epona in Master Quest DLC
I think I'll wait for Hyrule Warriors: The Complete Edition.
Re: Nintendo Direct: New Nintendo 3DS Models Coming to Australia and New Zealand on 21st November
