Meh. Meh. That's just Time Magazine's opinion. Meh. So what if they've got the world's largest circulation. Meh. That's only 25 million people reading this opinion. Meh.

Almost makes up for all the hate the from the rinky-dink nobodies on the web. Actually, it does make up for it. Quite nicely.

@MadAussieBloke It figures, the two smartest people on the internet are the only ones to fully appreciate FMV's glorious bounty.

Ah, well. More for us.

I hope everyone's got a big poopydoodooshebanga.

You can't pay for advice like that.
Cheers!

What I mean to say is, it didn't take me that long to become dissatisifed with Sony, or Microsoft, so I got rid of their products and moved on to something I am satisfied with.

And you know what? I never go to Sony or Microsoftcentric sites and post anti-tirades. I never go to any X-this or PS-that sites... ever.

Why don't you do the same, and move on to what you do enjoy? I mean that in the nicest possible way.

@Kirk
So, you were dissatisfied with Wii, and You're dissatisfied with Wii U, that's seven years of dissatisfaction, and you're still hanging out on Nintendocentric websites spitting bile?

@JaxonH
It's like you picked the words out of my brain.

The single most erogenous Nintendo commercial I've ever seen.

I probably shouldn't have said that.

Kirby to me, is what Mario is to everyone else. His games have been rocking lately, especially on Wii. But I'd much rather have this on the Wii U.

In fact, I wish they'd take the devs who are going gangbusters on the 3DS, and put them on Wii U detail.

I'm just tired of the deluge of articles posted lately with the sole purpose of getting as many clicks as possible through flame wars. It's unscrupulous. And totally out of hand. They've even got the gall to ask you not to use adblock for their sake.

Did anyone read the interview? He's not even talking about the Wii U, or Nintendo. The interview is actually about tablet gaming.

You really are reaching now, NL. Are you guys getting paid off, or what? Luckily there are still sites like Wii U Daily, and Nintendo Enthusiast.

@MadAussieBloke
I had it, played the crap out of it, but I liked Time Gal a little better...

Of course, Strahl spanked 'em both...

I'd love to see today's technology applied to these types of games.

Seriously, if you ever get the chance, Shockwave 2 is sooooo friggin' awesome...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_26xjYJ65Q
It would totally lose the impact if it was full-on CGI.

I love the Digital Pictures games. Sewer Shark is one of my favorites. I still replay it on the 3DO. I couldn't believe how much better it looked on the system. I always wished they would have brought Ground Zero Texas to it.

Not everyone hated FMV games. 3DO had some great ones. Psychic Detective went on to other platforms, Shockwave series rocked, Shockwave 2 Beyond the Gate's FMV was so good, I used to replay it, because of it.

I love the first two games, I'm still trying to 100% Arkham City, in fact. I've been sitting on the fence about picking Origins up. I don't really like the costumes, or lack of Catwoman, Red Robin, or Nightwing as playables.

But the thing that's turned me away, and this clinches it, is the Nolan influence. The first two games were like 'the animated series on steroids.' I mean, they could easily have been movies by the creative team of the series. The Batsuits were like gifts to long time fans.

I'm probably in the minority on this one, but as much as I love Batman, I'm not a fan of Nolan's trilogy. I see in some screen shots that they've even taken inspiration from his cowl design... Blech.

And yet, http://www.purexbox.com/ and http://www.pushsquare.com/ are still veritable wastelands, with Nintendo Life being the bread and butter of the three sister sites.

There are still millions of Wii Us in the wild, and there will be millions more. Wii U will be my only system this gen. I didn't buy a PS3, and I sold my 360 to buy a 3DS. There's no way Microsoft, or Sony will get any more of my money.

Nintendo is the only reason I'm still a 'current gen' gamer.

@TheGZeus @Kodeen
Oh, forgive me. The fact that it's called Nintendo Life, contains news, reviews, features, games, media, and forums all relating to Nintendo and all of it's products, made me think it was a Nintendo fan's site.

Silly of me to assume.

@Doctor_Pancakes
They did...
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wiiu/en_na/external_usb_devices.jsp

I bought the Back up plus 2tb, couldn't be happier with the price or performance.

@Jazzer94 Edited, for you.

@Peach64 The thing is, if I want bad news, it's easy to get. I joined a 'fan' site, to be surrounded by like-minded folks. I wouldn't expect that on say, a Cleveland Browns fan site, the major articles are about how much the Browns suck. Oops! Oh, no I didn't. No, I want to hear about the games, and other features, and experiences of other players and fans. Interests. My interests. I don't need to be reminded of negativities associated with them. Like I said, I can get that all over the internet. Why would I even need to frequent a fan site?

I'm making an early prediction. ^_^

Tell me, are there any articles on the Xbox sister site http://www.purexbox.com/ about Microsoft's abysmal sales in Japan for the last two generations?

Jolly ol' St. Nickusan.

Too much tryptophan makes me return to dream land.

Happy Thanksgiving.

_{Not cool. Knock it off please — TBD}

My pleasure.
And thank You.

@FuchsiaMelbaToast
Hats off to having the fortitude to wade through so many threads and topics looking for a place to put your boot in, on a daily basis, no less.

You people who gloat over every bit of news that can be twisted into a negative should be asking yourselves if you're spending your time in a worthwhile way. And where does this come from? Is it because your system of choice got trounced last gen by Nintendo, and you're still holding a grudge?

Oh, I forgot, Nintendo outsold everyone last gen. But then everyone said that hardware sales didn't mean as much as software sales. Now they're saying the opposite.

Hate to break it to you, but Nintendo's not going away anytime soon...
http://www.gamesradar.com/nintendo-doomed-not-likely-just-take-look-how-much-money-its-got-bank/
They could afford to lose almost 300 million dollars a year...
until the year 2052. That's 39 years from now, folks.

So, forget about it, and go play some games.

It's kinda funny, I always replay 'Daze before Christmas'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daze_Before_Christmas
around this time of year.

It's not a great game, but it is fun, and Christmassy. It's become a tradition for me.

Sweet land of liberty! Why isn't anyone talking about Lego Marvel? It's the best Marvel and/or Lego game to date!

Yeah, now the shareholders can get off of Iwata's nu...
er, back.

Oh, when I saw the picture I thought they were throwing in Mario's severed hand, as well.

Still a good deal, though.

Good Lord! What else would any sane person need?

Whaddaya waitin' for UK? Getchi won! Mow!

HUZZAH!

@D3athBr1ng3r187
Negativity bias, sport. Really thought it was obvious. Have somebody read it to you.

It's funny, and this post will probably 'vanish', but find me ONE negative article on the sister site...
http://www.pushsquare.com/
even the ones that skirt around the launch problems are surprisingly forgiving.

Getting really tired of this. I heard it all before about Arkham City, and had ZERO problems, it runs smooth as glass for me.

Can we have some positive articles, please? I mean there are plenty of places to get the negative ones.

@MadAussieBloke I knew, even before I clicked on it... and I clicked on it anyway.

I love you, man. ^_^

But, I thought this site...
http://www.pushsquare.com/
was for the Sony enthusiasts.

...and Nintendo life was for, ya know, Nintendo enthusiasts.

Instead of stirring the pot, hows about a nice article on Shiggy's birthday, or something.

Absolutely love it. Bought it as soon as my trial ran out. Played so much my arm and feet are sore ( from standing ).

I like how you can add custom pictures to your comments, and how you can jump up and spin around while spectating. Needs more of those actions, though.

I would love to see some seasonal themes on the allies, and maybe a little rock and bowl, with the lighting and music effects... Man, that would be awesome.

Well, I'm pretty confident that they will tweak things as needed. This is a big undertaking. I have a feeling Sports Club is going to be around for a while. And quite popular.

I can't believe people are blaming Nintendo for lag now?!?

It's not Nintendo's fault if some people have bad connection speeds. Should they tell those people that they can't play this game? Doesn't the game just kick them anyway? Bowling does.

I've been a PC gamer for years, played quite a bit of the classics online, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Battlefield, heck even a ton of MMOs, I was addicted to EQ for 12 years. Anyway, I never saw anyone blame the game maker for lag, it was always either the hosting person's high ping, or individual players. And in this case, it is NOT the host's high ping that's the problem.

@ShadJV
I didn't even think of that. I'm sorry, NL. This time, anyway. ^_^

@WingedSnagret
I hear ya, I'm in Columbus.

Sorry, where exactly does Nintendo state that they are ' Closing it's doors on downloads '?

Haven't really been a fan of Disney games since the 16 bit glory days, but I would buy a Wii U Spectrobes game day one.

More Tron wouldn't hurt either. ^_^

That's some pretty heavy handed censorship, NL. And for what? Did I use profanity? Insult someone? No, just hit a nerve, that's all.

You can erase our words, but if it's obvious to us, it's obvious to the non-vocal majority, as well.

I'll have the NES 72 pin lightly boiled, with two pieces of toast, and a cup of coffee please.

Woot! Gnabbed!
