@TheRegginator He's far from unknown in competitive Smash.

@Fee Why is a kickstarter game any different from a game with a publisher? It's good DLC practice because A)Everything is free to backers B)They're only making it after the game releases and C)It will probably be good DLC not the 'pay $5 and we'll give you a blue shirt' type of DLC. (Basing off of how passionate Playtonic seem to be)

@Captain_Gonru honestly, when I was playing, I completely forgot about the lack of VC. Everyone on my team was doing there job well and it was the most fun I've had online ever. The gamepad map felt like it erased the need for VC and IMO the mic sucks badly on the Gamepad so I wouldn't even use it in friend matches.

@Galactrix Wow, that's actually kinda cool.

@rjejr the money is used to hire more people so the workload is spread out more evenly.

@LUIGITORNADO that's a highly ironic statement. no going into further details because SPOILERS!!

@IAmDeclanJay Two letters, one word.

@triforcepower73 so true

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! NoA isn't being lazy!!!!!

@Grumblevolcano you're not at a HUGE disadvantage, ya, there is some stuff you'll miss out on but it's not like those costumes are OP.

@Dolphin64 Because A)To get something when the ONLY other way to get it is to pay some random eBay seller $100+ for a $50 item, thus the original maker (Nintendo and Monolith let's say) get nothing out of my purchase cough Xenoblade cough. B)When prices are stupidly high in the first place (Adobe photoshop) and C) To try things out first that you're not sure you'll like enough to pay for.(I didn't know if I'd like Xenoblade, now I'm getting X soley due to the fact I was able to play XBC, which I pirated, and really loved).

Or you know, someone hacked their 3DS and made it so the Steetpass data showed this as the last game being played.... it's far from impossible.

I really don't see the problem with the Smash DLC, characters are huge undertakings (and are a huge part of the game compared to stages which 90% of them can be recreated in stage builder) and can take a long time to balance, the price for them is fair IMO as they still need to make a profit, the costumes, which IDC about, don't seem that overpriced either, buy the few you like for $3 and yeah. Seriously, in Canada, they cost less than a cheap chocolate bar, big deal.

MK8's DLC while I love it, I also hate it, the DLC itself is great and all, but it just felt like the first pack was trying to do too much and the course design suffered because of it, cause, let's be real, Excitebike was boring as crap, go forward -> U turn -> go forward -> U-turn -> repeat x3, and it wasn't crazy like Baby Park is either with items going everywhere.

this was released like.... 3 months ago.

19 more days until Japan gets it and we see just how big of a game it truly is!

@ryanator008 not to mention Sm4sh is 1080p 60fps.

@ToxieDogg They aren't 'porting' anything, they're emulating the N64 which is then running the game 'natively'.

@JtotheY I couldn't see Banjo being a clone happening even if Sakurai had tried to make him one.

brb voting for banjo

I like the prices, at least Mewtwo isn't like $20 as I could imagine other publishers doing.

@Meaty-cheeky E3 is less than 3 months away, why in their right mind would they announce a new game or show us Starfox? And why does the 3ds need DS VC, just go and buy a DS game and stick it in the cartridge slot!

Summer 2015 in Japan -> 2016 for NA/Europe. smh. Really?

Hopefully we get Mew2 release date, an approximate XCX date (ie Q2, Q3), Splatoon release date, some info on MK8 May DLC, a new major title, more info on FE if, and some starfox stuff.

@Quorthon No, just because a child is healthy, happy, and loved doesn't mean their parents are doing a good job, my example shows a parent that doesn't care about what their child is exposed to and thus is being downright lazy by not even looking into what their child is doing, I'm not saying if they allowed it they're bad parents but to not even look into it is being a bad parent. If they looked into what was in those games/movies and decided it was okay because they think their child is mature enough to handle it great! let your kid play that game/watch that movie. But if you don't even attempt to look into the content, even if you would allow your child it, is being a bad parent. I've seen far to many parents who've bought their 7 year old GTAV but then gone and ridiculed that same child for playing something far less graphic and mature than GTA.

I remember, not to long ago, seeing a ~10 year old pick up GTA, but then not being allowed to buy FFXIII because his mother had a friend who shared the game theory episode that was titled "Why FF is anti-religion" via facebook even though she admitted to not actually watching it. I was so close to walking there and telling her how bad of a parent she was.

@Quorthon That can correlate with parenting skill, if a parent lets their 7 year old kid go into a random video game store, pick any game and buy it, I'm sorry, even if the child is happy, healthy and loved, you're doing something wrong.

@luizssb Beyond the Sky? (I've beaten it on my Wii U)

@lividd3ad YES! I see that every single day!!

Soon...

@ColdingLight Where do 4-5 years come from?

They said they won't show the game at E3, not avoid talking about it.

@DarthNocturnal especially since each amiibo holds like what? One KB of data?

@AK-1138 nah, just send her into space in a tiny Soyuz and see how far she gets.

@larry_koopa just wait until handhelds become powerful enough to handle games like XCX or FFXV.

@AmyGrrl medical institutes (many of which have expressed interest in the game) will.

@DarthNocturnal it is impossible for you to brick your Wii U by messing around in your vWii. Even then you'd have to be a complete moron to brick your vWii (ie doing something that is clearly stated to not do), which doesn't affect your Wii U mode in any way whatsoever. $100>$240+not as good of an experience+portability.

@DarthNocturnal buy the cheapest version you can find with a language you speak, hack your vWii/Wii and play it on your Wii U/Wii so you can bypass region lock, no pirating it or doing anything illegal. Done.

@abbyhitter it likely got a 9 due to the smaller screens of the n3ds, which is a hardware limitation that nonetheless hampers the experience.

@rjejr I think it's more of the style per se than the actual detail itself. I for one enjoy graphics like these, I also like 1080p detailed games.

from games that aren't out;
inkling
cross

games that have been released;
Paper Mario
Wonder Red
Ice Climbers

@sgrams04
Well, if Sakurai had that mentality, FE would still be a JP only series.

@ikki5 In fairness, I'm pretty sure Smash looked like it was anti-competitive when it released, and we all know how big competitive Smash is now.

I really don't get why everyone is so afraid of Jiggly solely for rest, his b-air is better/one of his best moves. But a sheild break=death so.....

@CrimSkies97 the N3DS acts like a tri-core, one core is 100% dedicated to the OS.

@AVahne If you were going to make this permanent you would either A)have to modify the game's code for every game you want to play or B)mess with your NAND which=an easy brick.

@TingLz slowly raises hand.... I'm sorry, but I wasn't waiting for over a year for NoA to get off their butts and change like three lines of code in the PAL version of Xenoblade.

@Chaoz It has been patched for a while....

@KodyDawg Kojima is a legend in the games industry. This is big news for the industry as a whole, and Nintendo Life, being a gaming site, is reporting it.

@Einherjar The more you know.

@VeeFlamesNL Those come out once for each console, not every year or two.

@AlexSora89 double the power+their amazing skill at optimizing game (i.e. Smash 4 Wii U) and the next console Sony and M$ make (if they make another one) would be like comparing a C64 to a N64.
