8 player smash is the only one of those options that will make average, casual (cod/fifa playing) Joe sit up and take notice

Colosseum and gale of darkness were wonderful gritty dystopian Pokemon settings that haven't been matched by a poke game since! There was great potential in those games. The Pokemon franchise needs this for freshness!

"variety of free and PAID DLC"

Cool stylus feature! Was wondering how the front plates came off!
I've been thinking it would be pretty sweet to make yourself some custom wooden plates (Preferably a wood that doesn't expand much and it bendy enough) and then etching or burning on a custom motif!

This is brilliant! It fits so well with all the new bug like monsters!

The best thing about knowing how many copies have been sold is working out what your GSP actually means!

Good! In this era of 'Steve' and angry birds, acts like this (and many more to come) are needed to re-cement Mario's position as the 'Mickey Mouse' of gaming.

Amazon gave me mh3u a day early last year, granted I was closer to the depot than I am now, but I won't give up hope for some early smash!

Aonuma-san!

Stahp!

Couldn't this just be a portfolio that they take to a meeting with ninty bosses and say, "Look what we can do Nintendo, please let us make a metroid game, pretty, pretty please!!"

I know I would!

I know we Europeans go on like a broken record but is there any logical reason why NoA can buy games with their reward scheme and Europe can't?

Looks like wind waker Ganondorf to me, which would be awesome!

Dig was way too short, possibly the most I've payed for a game £ per hour!
It was very well made but so quickly over and had me baying for more!
If they're planing on a new game of similar mechanics I'll be tempted but it'll need to be much longer!!

Loving the alt text!

Conduit 2 felt unfinished and Conduit 1 was diabolical (still no info on 3ds),
Rome TW 2 got a 14th patch yesterday after a year of release,
Colonial marines was quite obviously rushed.
All these games have one thing in common, SEGA as their publisher,
SEGA, at least its western side, are very greedy and its starting to get old now!

This sounds like the type of game that will benefit from youtube and twitch exposure, no doubt the 'viral-ability' of this game has increased being co-deved with ninty!

This or Steel Empire eh?

This is all very well and good, a remastering etc. But for an independent company like Frozenbyte, shouldn't they be moving on and making new games? I hope that this stunt works them though! It just seem a bit of an odd move to remaster a 5 year old game, still fresh in the memory of the community, instead of focusing and investing resources on new ideas, and development!

The main problem with an online tetris game, (or at least the 3ds one) is finding anyone who wants to play a nice clean game of skill with no-power ups or party fun fun! If I wanted that I'd play Dr. Robotnik's mean bean machine! Which reminds me! Any news on the puyo puyo X tetris port yet?!

Cracking! Are we gonna build an NL online community thing when this bad boy ships?

Kotor is still better on Pc and cheaper thanks to almighty GabeN!

I'm just glad EA didn't get a chance to stain nintendo's consoles this generation with microtransactions! When we look back at the industry, years in advance, I'm sure we'll see microtransactions as a great faux pas!

@shigulicious From the film The Big Lebowski!

@unrandomsam Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

@PvtOttobot Aah R2TW! Been playing that too recently, shame it's so broken!!

On Topic: This is good, the industry needs more metroidvanias, especially good ones like guac! Hopefully Iga's lecture at GDC will intrest some indie devs, and Iga himself might have something in the works!

Ubi's logic is flawed, if this is indeed a family game then they would know that families don't pick up games because they're new releases or because of hype. A parent or grandparent will just pick up anything off the shelf with a recognizable brand name or pretty artwork, much like they would in a supermarket.
Ubi think that by holding off release they would help sales but infact this will hurt it. The smart thing for ubi to do with a family friendly game is to release it just after a big nintendo title. That way, families not only pick up the wii u along with the nintendo title but pick up their's as well.
Of course this only applies to a family game as per context of interview. If they want a hype cow then power to them.
