Without a defined player character LoZ wouldn't feel like LoZ. If they let you select your gender, it should be an option to play as either Link or Linkle (even if Linkle is about as canon as Lana/Cia/Volga etc at this point). I don't need deeper character customization in my Zelda.
There's one vital point most angry people seem to be missing: Nintendo aren't trying to get their existing fans into mobile gaming, but mobile users into Nintendo games. Stupid social stuff like this is exactly what that crowd eats up. And man, screw Pachter.
@gcunit Well obviously they can't access that stuff, but they'd make their own knockoffs. Copycats are a huge problem on the app market to the point that it's disgusting how low people will go in the pursuit of money. It's not like this idea is really worth copying but it will happen.
Oh, sweet. I love picross puzzles and I will definitely get this. I've been making a picross game just like this one on and off for quite some time. It's mostly for my own amusement, but some of the features are pretty much exactly the same ha ha.
1. The Pro Controller's face buttons are even closer together so that is not a valid point in this case. 2. That makes no sense whatsoever. 3. Completely subjective.
Looks like Itagaki is trying to shift the blame from his crappy game even before it's released.

Re: Cloud Will be Available to Buy 'Within Hours' of Sakurai's Final Presentation for Super Smash Bros.
Cloud looks better than I expected (and the stage looks great). I will get him for sure.
Re: Corrin Chooses to Fight in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS
The only truly disappointing reveal today. FE gets more representation than Zelda which is just sad.
Re: Fascinating Patent Shows Nintendo Portable Utilising Free-Form Screen Technology
Interesting concept. I'd like to see some physical face buttons on this, though.
Re: Wii U Version Of Indivisible Not Possible, But NX Is Up For Consideration
They should just admit they don't think it's worth the investment. How do all these 2D-developers get away with these poor excuses?
Re: Video: Build the Buzz for Xenoblade Chronicles X With This Extended Launch Trailer
I got my copy today. It's fantastic.
Re: FAST Racing NEO Release Date and Pricing Speed Into View
Busy with XCX but I will get it Day One either way. I've been waiting for this for a long time now.
Re: Video: New Mighty No. 9 Trailer Aims to Bring Back the Hype
I regret backing this. Oh well.
Re: Art: Halo Character Artist Gives Legend Of Zelda's Link A Realistic Makeover
Oh hey, it's the generic brown-haired 30-something protagonist dude from every mature game ever.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Confirms Its Second Batch of eShop Cyber Deals
I think I'm going to get DKCTF now. I have all the other games digitally too, so I don't need a physical copy of that one.
Re: Video: Check Out Ganondorf's Terrifying Trident In This New Hyrule Warriors Legends Trailer
Awesome. Ganondorf desperately needed more weapons.
Re: Editorial: Linkle May be a Clunky Introduction For a 'Female Link', But Opens Up Interesting Possibilities
Without a defined player character LoZ wouldn't feel like LoZ. If they let you select your gender, it should be an option to play as either Link or Linkle (even if Linkle is about as canon as Lana/Cia/Volga etc at this point). I don't need deeper character customization in my Zelda.
Re: Preview: Crossing Over With Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros.
I will pick it up eventually. December is reserved for Xenoblade X for me.
Re: Video: Check Out a Graphical Comparison for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
I'm just happy it's a port of the GC version. Everything else is a bonus.
Re: Pokémon Picross Arrives On The 3DS eShop Early December
F2P Picross could be a dangerous affair for a Picross addict like me...
Re: Dragon Quest VII And VIII Both Confirmed For Western 3DS Release In 2016
I'm so happy they announced this! Especially VIII.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Twlight Princess Is Receiving A High-Definition Face Lift
Day one. All my money. No questions asked.
Re: The Next Nintendo Direct is on 12th November
Awesome! I'm excited for sure!
Re: Bigley's Revenge Arrives on the Wii U eShop Just in Time for Christmas
I wish they'd just stop. It's not funny.
Re: Feature: Finding Top Speed in FAST Racing NEO
Day one for me. Looks great.
Re: Koei Tecmo is Planning Another Major Collaboration With a Western IP
I'd love to see a Middle-earth -themed Warriors game.
Re: Video: Nintendo Gets Literal in Its Latest Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Commercial
Digby at the end is just too adorable.
Re: Michael Pachter Thinks Miitomo Will Have Trouble Tempting People Away From Facebook
There's one vital point most angry people seem to be missing: Nintendo aren't trying to get their existing fans into mobile gaming, but mobile users into Nintendo games. Stupid social stuff like this is exactly what that crowd eats up. And man, screw Pachter.
Re: Gallery: Catch Up With Nintendo's Miitomo Reveal and Concept Images
@A01 Yeah, exactly. These apps should be used as leverage for their actual games.
Re: This Is How Nintendo's First Smartphone Game Miitomo Will Work
@gcunit Well obviously they can't access that stuff, but they'd make their own knockoffs. Copycats are a huge problem on the app market to the point that it's disgusting how low people will go in the pursuit of money. It's not like this idea is really worth copying but it will happen.
Re: This Is How Nintendo's First Smartphone Game Miitomo Will Work
@MagicalDreamer There's going to be a bunch of them within the week, probably.
Re: Zelda Fans Vent Anger At Nintendo of America Over Doge Memes In Tri Force Heroes
Welcome to 2015. People are mad over everything and anything.
Re: Super Mario Maker Gets Mid-Level Checkpoints and More in Upcoming Update
Checkpoints and mushroom-fire flowers? Awesome!
Re: Fresh Project H.A.M.M.E.R. Details Reveal Shigeru Miyamoto's Role In The Game's Downfall
Yeah, what @Spin said.
Re: Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Originally Didn't Have a Single Player Mode
@belfastgonzo For 3-player local multiplayer there's Download Play available which only requires one copy.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd October (Europe)
I will get a physical copy of Tri Force Heroes.
Re: Nintendo Selects Range on 3DS Has a Handsome Price Point in Europe
They should have a Nintendo Selects program on the eShop as well.
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash (3DS)
I'm not surprised. The game looks very average.
Re: Random: Excitable Fans Face Disappointment When Nintendo Does Twitter Wrong
Hardly newsworthy. You can take literally any Nintendo tweet and there's a hoard of complaining kids replying to it. This is no exception.
Re: Totaka's Song is in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
You also get the song by downloading Louie from the 3DS upstairs. At least I did.
Re: Reminder: There's Only One More Week Left To Vote In The Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot
We really don't need more Fire Emblem or Pokémon characters. I hope either Shovel Knight or Shantae makes it. King K. Rool would also be fine.
Re: New Nintendo Controller Patent Features Rotational Shoulder Buttons
That sounds so obvious. Why did no one think of it before?
Re: Disney Infinity 3.0's Toy Box Mode Offers Blatant Splatoon Clone
They couldn't even design their own stage?
Re: Community: Create, Share, Play and Rate Each Other's Levels on Nintendo Life
I have feedback: Could you please make it not possible to rate and like your own levels? It will be abused for sure.
Re: Mario Memories: Super Mario Bros. 3, Still Bringing Families Together
Love it. It was the first game I ever played.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd September (Europe)
Heck yeah, StarTropics. I was just about to get them on the Wii VC. I'll probably check out Sin and Punishment and Runbow too.
Re: Pokémon Shuffle Rolls Out on iOS in North America and Europe
I guess I'll check it out once it lands on droid.
Re: Shovel Knight amiibo Pre-Orders Open in the UK and Australia
Pre-ordered from Amazon just in case, but I will try to find it cheaper from a local shop closer to release.
Re: PixlCross is Bringing Picross and Puzzle Creation to the Wii U
Oh, sweet. I love picross puzzles and I will definitely get this. I've been making a picross game just like this one on and off for quite some time. It's mostly for my own amusement, but some of the features are pretty much exactly the same ha ha.
Re: Mario Memories: A Portable Warp Pipe To Lost Adventures
The only thing I hate about Advance 1 and 2 is the washed out color palette.
Re: The Legend of Legacy is Coming to Europe... in Winter 2016
Does that mean the beginning or the end of 2016?
Re: If Nintendo Did Decide To Make A Smartphone, We'd Want It To Look Like This
That's not a good design.
Re: Negative Reception For Devil's Third Is Due To Poor Player Skill, Claims Tomonobu Itagaki
This is pathetic.
Re: Tomonobu Itagaki Explains Why the Pro Controller Trumps the GamePad in Devil's Third
1. The Pro Controller's face buttons are even closer together so that is not a valid point in this case.
2. That makes no sense whatsoever.
3. Completely subjective.
Looks like Itagaki is trying to shift the blame from his crappy game even before it's released.
Re: Review: Star Fox Command (Wii U eShop / DS)
@bofis I don't think it's that simple. There might be some licensing issues with SuperFX chip emulation since Argonaut Games made it.
Re: Wreck-It Ralph 2 Confirmed to be Smashing Its Way to Theatres
I'll pass. I didn't like the first movie that much. It started out fine, but then it got kinda boring.
