Let me also establish that you can't just ignore the story and characters because there's no skip button. Technically there is one...after you complete the game once. But why would you even want to play that game twice lol.

@rjejr Um, just take into consideration that some people actually liked games like Sonic Boom.

@Trinexx The story is horrible (this includes plot and characters for the record, one of the plot threads isn't even completed...it's abandoned halfway through the game), the controls are really bad, it's ridiculously linear, there are sections of the game where you have to look for a very specific section (cough pixel cough) and you CANNOT move on until you find the little pixel, the art style looks cartoony as hell in comparison to Metroid Prime's...oh, and it retconned most of the things the Prime series established. There's also some minor details like Samus' armor being changed for no reason (her canon looking like a peashooter), how the gravity suit was replaced with a little glow because Sakamoto doesn't like the power suit in purple...and Samus was shrinked (being freaking amazonian before), also for no reason, and apparently she grows a few inches when she puts on her power suit and only when doing so.
And yes, it gave Samus some emotion. One, to be more specific: Whiny crybaby. I don't know why the woman that gave the Metroid hatchling away with a handshake and a "just doing my job, sir" like an hour after obtaining the damn thing would be like "AAAAH NOOO MY BABY I HAVE PTSD ;_;" in this game, let's not mention how she freaks out at the sight of the archnemesis she's killed about 4 times by then or how she follows Adam like a lap dog, being forced to run through a lava room WITHOUT her varia suit only for Adam to be like "oh by the way samus you can activate your varia suit now" right after finishing that section. Also how Adam just shoots her, leaving her exposed to a bunch of obviously dangerous metroid, just because he needed (not really) to sacrify himself to save the ship and...he didn't want Samus to interfere? I don't spaghetti know. How did that even affect her, with her chozo dna and training in zebes she doesn't even need her power suit to resist that. But oh well, Samus is a weak japanese blonde lady here so I guess it makes sense.

I have no idea why anyone would consider this a good game (inb4 opinions)

@liljmoore "People hated cause because they gave Samus some emotion"
are you bolognese serious

Didn't this franchise die years ago.

@DBPirate Definitely. They're all so wise and...hilarious, honestly.

@DarkEdi Who knows. Maybe they didn't have enough?

@Kirby_Fan_DL3 ...Nintendo doesn't work on direct sequels, either.

"you'll need to use some kind of PC-based 3DS emulator"

Which doesn't exist.

"or a flash cart of dubious origin on your 3DS console"

Which doesn't exist...
So basically we won't play it anyway lol

I already have the big-ass MM3D poster (with the moon, Link and everyone else) in my room C:
It's beautiful.

To give you a better idea of how outrageous the names are: Translating Mamoru Endou/h's name as "Mark Evans" is like naming Goku "Dennis Orange" outside of japan...

I really hate the english names...it's set in JAPAN for pete's sake! (not to mention they are ******* stupid. "Mark Evans"? "Jack Blaze"?).
If Ninty's planning on capitalize on the series' success in south america, they failed horribly...but I'm guessing they're not...which is even stupider.

Oh. Ok. Where's the south america office? I'm pretty sure that's a much more important market, Ninty...

Wow, The Last of Us is beyond overrated...

@Einherjar ...Uh, I'm not sure you know what "artstyle" means. What does Knuckles' design have to do with the artstyle?

@MAN1AC I'm surprised Ozamu Tesuka hasn't taken any legal action on Mega Man.

@SecondServing Just be glad you're not in charge of any major company.

@arnoldrobinsonj Hey, if we're Nintendo owners we have all the right to complain.

Now that Nintendo is more open to license their IPs...MAKE THE DAMN SUPER MARIO CGI MOVIE HAPPEN, IWATA!!

Honestly, I can see Nintendo's next console being similar to this. It'll be a portable console with a HDMI out port of something, meaning you'll be able to see the game on your TV if you desire...

I really hope Snake doesn't come back. Free advertising for Metal Gear Solid V? :S

@LavaTwilight ..."Ash"? Seriously?

I'm really disappointed that he's back, this is starting to look like Brawl 1.5...
Hopefully a gen 6 pokémon is added to the roster. Greninja, maybe? He and Aegislash are the most popular gen VI pokémon on online battles...

@antipop621 If we're going to have Nintendo comics, then they need to be published by IDW, Image or Dark Horse. They're way more talented than Archie.

Hmm, maybe this is the perfect time to make a Mario movie, Nintendo! CGI, of course. You have ton of talented writers working on Intelligent System and Alpha Dream ;]

@JubilifeRival Calm down, it was released only two months ago.

@TromboneGamer Such thing doesn't and probably will never exist.

I played this game yesterday and...damn, it's bad. Like, really bad. Mario's jump is imprecise and slippery, not to mention you can only see like half of what you could see in the NES version...
At least it's free?

E-X-Tro-ops, always being togetheeer ♪

@SanderEvers Or not...

@AceSpadeS Isn't that THE worst version of FFVI, though? Loading times and everything.

Eh, honestly I don't like speedruns. I find them pretty boring.

I will, however, watch this video since I don't have anything else to do. Thx Ninlife

The UK has such a terrible taste in games...

@Raylax Cry this if U liek evry tim.

Knowing Capcom, they'll cancel it and say they didn't see enough fan support.

@SeVok It's not DLC. It's the Pokémon Emerald/Platinum of Inazuma Eleven games.

I never really liked this game all that much, but I certainly like it more than Super Mario World.
I can't stand the NES version, though. All-Stars version is where it's at.

Online play wouldn't ruin the experience, Ninty. Get off your fat butts and start making more online first party games!

"However, Alien: Isolation is shaping up to be something else entirely, and we personally think it's a real shame that Wii U owners won't be joining the party."

Yeah, just like Aliens CM was shaping up to be one of the best Wii U third party games of 2013.

@chronicler No?

I dunno, I'm sure ALBW is a fantastic game, but the only reason it fit Zelda was because...it was Zelda.
I want completely new experiences from Metroid and Star Fox. Mainly because it's been years since we last got a M/SF game,,,

@SavantSupreme "Obviously people are saving their money for the X1"

LOL
This is japan we're talking about, kid.

What's this? A football game being released in NA? it's the end of the world!
Heey Nintendo, how about you do what EA's being doing with Fifa 14/15 and focus on selling this game to south american gamers? You're welcome.
...In other words, DON'T MAKE IT AN ESHOP EXCLUSIVE.

I really hope the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. isn't the main focus of Nintendo's future marketing campaign...

Oh god please, DO move on. After Mirror or Fate, I don't want to see the series on a Nintendo handheld ever again (unless it returns to the Metroidvania formula and the old timeline). The series is just a God of War clone now.
I liked the style and class of the GBA/DS games...why can't we have more of that?

@minotaurgamer
Star Fox...niché? F-Zero niche?
REALLY?!
STAR FOX AND F-ZERO?!

NICHE?!
STAR FOX AND FREAKIN' F-ZERO?!
You're mental.

Hell, you're mental times 2. Are you really saying Nintendo should stop caring about hardcore gamers? That's their only hope right now: Cater to them. As in, the REAL hardcore gamers (because according to some 2012 interviews, Nintendo's main goal for Wii U was to cater to hardcore gamers...yeah, it shows).
Star Fox, Metroid, F-Zero, Bayonetta, X and Zelda are perfect ways to cater to them...if marketed properly. But nooo, Reggie and Iwata insist on marketing only Mario, Zelda and Kirby.

"Bayonetta 2
5%"

...Oh no...
-Sigh- The only reason I didn't vote for Bayonetta 2 is because I'm just a little more excited about X...so...I really hope it's that way for the other people. JUST 5%? Really?

@donkeykong64 It's not really an RPG. It's a turn based strategy game with rpg elements.

"3DS Retail Third-Party Game of the Year: Castlevania"

-Pukes-

Why can't I ever enter these contests :[

Sucks to be latin-american...

@19Robb92 You make it sound like they just ported her SSBB model to SSBU. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

Hm, maybe they'll update Zelda a bit and make her more...useful just so they can ditch Shiek. They did that with Peach, Bowser, Pit and...probably every character, really.

@SkywardLink98 That's on purpose...

@MAB 30 CENTS?!
In what world do you live?!

Considering VITA has no games, it'll probably sell better there.

Tee hee

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...SEVEN MARIO CHARACTERS (including DK)?! Is Sakurai insane?!
Was it too hard to turn Rosalina into an alternate skin for Peach? Just add Little Mac and Takamaru to these games already!
