@Zyph They always make their main Persona/SMT games for the most popular console on the market (in Japan). That would be the 3DS by far, of course. I bet they tried to make one for the DS but...I guess they didn't wanted to go back to 2D graphics on their main games (and thus the Devil Survivor series was born as a spiritual successor of Majin Tensei)
Is it just me, or was Nintendo Life trying to avoid posting news on april 1st?
Have you guys heard of Spec Ops: The Line? It bombed for 'playing it safe'...
...Thing is, it wasn't playing it safe. It got ignored by EVERYONE just for what it looked like: A generic 'strategic' shooter when, in fact, it was an strategic shooter with a very deep story, a different way of 'choose your path' gameplay and interesting characters (just read the reviews around the world...)
And then games like Bioshock Infinite are incredibly successful just because most Sony and Microsoft fanboys don't know sh...about art style...
@Pichuka97 Because that makes either the company that made the game or Sony lose money? That's why Nintendo won't do that. They're not stupid (and they don't want to bleed money like sony does).
" Jason Behr, who worked as lead level designer on the Metroid Prime series during his time with the company and can also list Halo 4 on his résumé" Talking about misused talent.
Hey @Damo, you may want to see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t70l-9n1rCQ. Grant Kirkhope says some interesting things about some old N64 games and shows interest in developing a Banjo-Threeie for the Wii U.
@Omarsonic9 Angry Birds trilogy is coming to the Wii U soon...so... @Farmboy74 All games need to be approved by Nintendo, so don't expect them to authorize shovelware...or at least, not too much
You know what iOS games I want? AAA games. I don't care about angry birds, cut the rope, vegetable ninja or rust your jimmies deluxe. ...Ok, the term AAA game is relative. inb4 Infinity Blade.
@SteveSnowmn Says who? Do you really think people without Wii Us (and well, Nintendo IDs) will be able to access it? Don't think so. And even if they do, Nintendo will fix that problem after a few weeks of complaints.
Great news, this probably means the Nintendo ID won't be linked to the console anymore...
Oh, so you want to play it safe? Then just add off-tv play, you fu-- moron. Is that too hard to do? Apparently not, because even Call of Duty added that function... Seriously, what is WRONG with EA?
"You know, we're not disappointed with the install base...but Nintendo needs to start selling more Wii Us, like, seriously!" 1 week later "We're disappointed with the Wii U's install base. But, being completely honest, we're quite happy with it" 1 month later "Nevermind, we love it. But seriously, we're quite disappointed..."
@X-Factor Resident Evil 4 Wii was the best selling version of that game...and that console was oriented at CASUALS. REvelations 3D was a disappoinment for Capcom in sales...
@KnightRider666 Because it would be redundant, as simple as that. If the game ends up being a remake with prettier graphics and identical controls (with DucKTales 2's levels added, maybe?), what would be the point of adding the old game? For nostalgia purposes, apparently.
@SqueakyTheBone "ALPHA RED, GO GO GO!! BOMB AWAY THAT BUILDING WE GOTTA KEEP THOSE ALIENS AWAY FROM HUMANITY!!" Alien: SKJAASJDASDAAM!! uses a shotgun on the two main characters -Arc 2- "So the aliens are gone. What now?" "ALPHA RED, GO GO GO!! BOMB AWAY THAT BUILDING WE GOTTA KEEP THOSE HUMANS AWAY FROM OUR BASE!!"
The first one wasn't good. The developer's talent is just not there. I don't get why Xbox 360/PS3 owners want to give this franchise a new chance. wtf.
@MultiMariosonic Of course they're in second. Japanese don't care about home consoles anymore and the only handhelds in the market there are the 3DS and the VITA.
Ok, this is the only time I've had a nerdgasm in Nintendo Life...this figurine is so perfect!! There will be imports in Amazon soon...too bad I don't live in the US
@SkywardLink98 The Virtual Console gives you access to otherwise non-playable games (on other modern consoles), that's the point of the Virtual Console.
We all know this game is not selling well. When it doesn't, SE will be all like "Our games, like, don't sell on the Wii U, dude". They'll blame Nintendo for THEIR MISTAKES.
Geez, I'm tired of all this third party support bullpoop.
Nintendo!! Buy Konami, Capcom and SEGA, then let's see who has "third party support"...

Re: More Capcom-Disney Games Could Be Remade if Duck Tales is Successful
@KnightRider666 Because it would be redundant, as simple as that. If the game ends up being a remake with prettier graphics and identical controls (with DucKTales 2's levels added, maybe?), what would be the point of adding the old game?
For nostalgia purposes, apparently.
Re: Diablo III May Not Be A Sony Exclusive After All
@TreesenHauser Yeah, people have the right to want bad games!!
Keep your Diablo abomination, Activlizzard. Make a remake of Diablo II or something.
Re: Capcom Explains How DuckTales: Remastered Came To Be
It would be cool if they included the DuckTales 2 levels in this remake, DuckTales IS quite short, from what I've read.

That didn't worked out very well for Metroid - Metroid Zero Mission.
