Don't mind the delay if it will make the final game even better! Also, I have a backlog of games I need to play, and with Yoshi and Xenoblade coming out this year, I think I'm good for the rest of 2015.
Not too worried about the Star Fox Zero delay. Just got Mario Maker yesterday, which should keep me busy for quite some time. Next month I'll be getting Yoshi Yarn, and for christmas, Xenoblade and hopefully Mario Tennis (if it costs $40 bucks...). AND I still need to get Splatoon!!!
@IceClimbers "sterile doctor's office vibe" Brilliant! That is a perfect way to describe their image during the Wii/DS generation. I'm glad they are going back to using the "Nintendo" banner.
Nothing for me, but at least they got both "Mario vs. DK" games out of the way. Now they can focus on bringing out the games we REALLY want, like Metroid Zero Mission, StarFox SNES, Super Mario RPG, etc...
Nintendo should work more often with book publishers to release art books for other franchises. Can you imagine how cool a Star Fox art book would be! And an F-Zero art book!
@amiiboacid That was more a figure of speech than anything else! And yes, I agree with you. Nintendo should keep the Wii U going for a while longer so it doesn't burn bridges with their current install base. They could surely keep the Wii U chugging along with a few games here and there (SNES Remix, maybe a port of Luigi Mansion Arcade), a price cut and a few more gimmicks (more amiibos).
I think the NX will merge home console and handheld into one. And I can definitely see Nintendo adopting a digital download only model for their games. Physical media is disappearing at a faster pace, and by the end of 2016 and 2017, physical media will be even less important.
The first videogame I ever played! My parents bought me the SNES when I was 4 years old and SMW came with it! Amazing game! Perfection! I've been in love with Nintendo games ever since...
Nintendo has always been a very secretive company. Part of the Japanese business culture that was exported to NoA. Although it' sad to see someone get fired, he should have known better than to open his mouth and blabber about private corporate issues...

Same here!
100% japanese goodness!
This is starting to look like a day-one purchase for me!
Re: Sonic Lost World's Wii U Exclusivity Ends With Budget PC Release
Haven't played a Sonic game in ages! Might give Lost World a try someday...
Re: Star Fox Zero Delayed To Achieve a "Platinum Feel" in Quality
Don't mind the delay if it will make the final game even better!
Also, I have a backlog of games I need to play, and with Yoshi and Xenoblade coming out this year, I think I'm good for the rest of 2015.
Re: Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection Is Back, And Better Than Ever
I will definitely be buying this book!!!
Re: First Impressions: Taking A Shot At Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water
I might try this game out, after I get done with Mrio Maker, Yoshi Yarn, Xenoblade, Mario Tennis....

Not too worried about the Star Fox Zero delay.

AND I still need to get Splatoon!!!

"sterile doctor's office vibe"
Brilliant! That is a perfect way to describe their image during the Wii/DS generation.
I'm glad they are going back to using the "Nintendo" banner.
Re: Konami Denies That It Is Walking Away From AAA Game Development
@MrGawain
I totally agree! This AAA mentality is bad for the industry and will eventually lead to a few bankruptcies along the way.
Re: Nintendo UK Store Serves Up Incentives for Ordering Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
That is the saddest looking Mario plushie I have ever seen...
Re: Miyamoto: Star Fox Zero Has Been Delayed, "I Am Very Sorry"
I'm actually happy (and quite relieved) with this delay.
Gives them more time to polish the game.
The Star Fox franchise deserves it!!!
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th September (Europe)
@manu0
Brilliant!
Nintendo, heed that advice!
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th September (Europe)
Nothing for me, but at least they got both "Mario vs. DK" games out of the way.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Seven Million amiibo Sales in the US
Imagine how much more they could have sold if all characters were available in stores!
Re: Genei Ibun Roku #FE Japanese Release Date And Bundles Revealed
Didn't think it would be launching so soon in Japan! Thought it would be a 2016 release over there as well...
Re: Now You Can Gawk at the Super Mario Maker Art Design Booklet Online
@Funky_Kong
Cool! Can't wait to get it!
Re: Super Mario Maker DLC Confirmed, Famitsu's Mascot Necky The Fox Coming Soon
I wouldn't mind if this dlc came to North America...
Re: Weirdness: The Bizarre Truth of Bowser Jr.'s Mother, According to Shigeru Miyamoto
Loved the video (and the music)!
Good old fashioned lighthearted Nintendo fun!
Re: Now You Can Gawk at the Super Mario Maker Art Design Booklet Online
Will the booklet included with the game be hard-cover?
Re: Rumours and Speculation Stir Over Potential Involvement of Nintendo with Apple TV
Pure speculation...
Re: Splatoon Art Book Making A Splat Landing In Japan This Year
Nintendo should work more often with book publishers to release art books for other franchises.
Can you imagine how cool a Star Fox art book would be! And an F-Zero art book!
Re: Rumour: Mega Man Is Starring In A Mega Movie Thanks To The Help Of 20th Century Fox
I rather watch the Mighty No. 9 movie..........NOT!
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd September (North America)
Still waiting for "Star Fox SNES" and "Star Fox 64" on the Wii U VC...
Re: Rumour: XSEED Less Than Happy With Nintendo's About-Face On Publishing Devil's Third
Xseed hasn't done much for Nintendo during the Wii U generation, so I don't really mind if they break off relations.
I'm sure there are other 3rd party companies who would be willing to publish Nintendo games in a heartbeat.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th August (North America)
Already own Star Sucessor on the Wii and love it!
Will be getting the N64 one and trying it for the very first time! Can't wait!
Re: Rumour: Fresh Sources Suggest Shovel Knight Is Indeed Digging His Way To Super Smash Bros.
Soooooo many other characters I would rather get in SSB...
Re: Nintendo of America Opts for 'Real World' Super Mario Maker TV Campaign
I liked the commercial! Looks good and shows the game concept in a very clear manner.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Super Mario Maker Console Bundle and Key Release Dates for North America and Europe
Will the modern color Mario amiibo only be available in the Wii U bundle?
I hope that's not the case, or else I'll be super pissed off!!! >
Re: Falco, Mewtwo, Mii Fighters & More amiibo Release Details Confirmed
Falco for me (if I can find him upon release...).
Re: Bowser and Toad Wii Remote Plus Controllers Heading to Europe on 20th November
A little late to be selling Wii controllers.
I would have bought these 3 years ago.
Today? No
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th August (Europe)
No VC titles?
Shameful...
Re: Talking Point: Pokkén Tournament May Not Be a Wii U Saviour, But It Can Provide a Welcome Boost

Re: Talking Point: Pokkén Tournament May Not Be a Wii U Saviour, But It Can Provide a Welcome Boost
The Wii U is dead after the holidays and nothing will save it.
Bring on the NX!
Re: Mario Memories: A Portable Warp Pipe To Lost Adventures
My first GBA game and one of the best remakes I have ever played.
Re: New Patent Sparks Talk of Potential NX Details
@umegames
Yeah, a decision like this coming from Nintendo would probably be too good to be true!
Re: New Patent Sparks Talk of Potential NX Details
I think the NX will merge home console and handheld into one.
And I can definitely see Nintendo adopting a digital download only model for their games. Physical media is disappearing at a faster pace, and by the end of 2016 and 2017, physical media will be even less important.
Re: Pokémon Brawler Pokkén Tournament Coming To Wii U Early Next Year
@polarbear
True! Luigi Mansion on Wii U would be a sweet treat!
Re: Pokémon Brawler Pokkén Tournament Coming To Wii U Early Next Year
I'm pleased to see you... My body is ready!
Re: Mario History: Super Mario Kart - 1992
Wonderful game! Great memories.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th August (North America)
Yes! I've been waiting for Advance Wars 2 for quite a while now...
Re: You Won't Need An Adult's Wallet To Get This Adorable Young Link Nendoroid
Pretty decent price. The Good Smile and Bandai/Bluefin Tamashii Nations figures are the best and definitely worth buying!
Re: Mario History: Super Mario World - 1991
The first videogame I ever played! My parents bought me the SNES when I was 4 years old and SMW came with it!
Amazing game! Perfection! I've been in love with Nintendo games ever since...
Re: Club Nintendo Adds Some Snappy Coaster Sets in PAL Territories
I wish Nintendo would just sell these products in stores!
They would make a lot of money...
Re: Review: Onimusha Tactics (Wii U eShop / GBA)
@Neko_Rukiafan
Cool! I'm going to give it a shot.
Re: Review: Onimusha Tactics (Wii U eShop / GBA)
@EvanChambers
Thanks for the response! I might just give Onimusha Tactics a try!
Re: Review: Onimusha Tactics (Wii U eShop / GBA)
Is this better than Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced?
Re: Chris Prangar, Nintendo Treehouse Staffer Who Recently Spoke About His Work, Confirms He's Been Fired
Nintendo has always been a very secretive company. Part of the Japanese business culture that was exported to NoA. Although it' sad to see someone get fired, he should have known better than to open his mouth and blabber about private corporate issues...
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (North America)
Nothing for me this week...
Re: Mario Memories: Being Taken To A New World In Super Mario Galaxy
For me it's a four way tie between "Super Mario World", "Super Mario 64", Galaxy 1, and Galaxy 2.
They are all so perfect!
Re: NIS America Confirms Rodea the Sky Soldier Delay
I have way to many games I want to buy to even consider picking up this game!
Mario Maker, Yoshi Wool, Xenoblade, StarFox, Mario Tennis...
