@jedisquidward How would you know whether anyone here plays Smash or not? And did you honestly just post a "fite me" comment? ._.

@PtM How is is deserved when you turn down the position, then say you're interested only because you'd be the only one of a particular group on the team?

@Spennymoor Agreed completely. We need more representation via players of all genders who are in it for the good of the stated goal of the community. That will undoubtedly benefit everyone.

@brandonbwii Reverse-sexism doesn't fix sexism. Put the pitchfork down.

@PtM It says that HER priority is not the work of the committee in making the rules. It says that HER priority is to get special attention as the woman on the team. That should never have been her motivation here, and the fact that she announced it is stunningly short-sighted PR.

@eltomo Gaming journalists, mainly. Some of the headlines about this story on a few other sites are just astounding leaps, accusations of mass sexism in the founding of the committee etc.

@Tarvaax Again, my only issue with this is that they DID offer to women, who turned it down, so the committee found others to fill the role, and suddenly they're the supposed villains, and now we're putting someone who DECLINED the position into the committee, who stated herself that she had no interest until she found out she'd be the only woman.

What the hell does that say about priorities?

@brandonbwii Are you even reading the comments? Literally the only divisive ones so far have been your own.

@Luna_110 Boy, only took us six comments to get the inevitable "hurr why cant people be ORIGINAL" comment. The worst thing about the heavy handed approach companies take with their fans these days is that they've managed to get other fans to put down expressions of fandom for them, like showing your love for a game by creating something related to it is somehow a deplorable act.

He's not wrong. This beast is in the wild now. Even if Nintendo did C&D, it won't stop it.

I can see this adding a ton of fun to an absolute classic game. More than anything though, imagine the Games Done Quick speedrum races, with all the runners visible in the same game!

Picked up all the stuff for the game cheap, have only spent about $50 and I have the base WiiU game, Legolas, Gimli, ET, Gremlins, BTTF, Doc Brown, Simpsons, Midway Arcade, Bad Cop, Portal 2, Doctor Who, Scooby Doo, Gollum, Wicked Witch, Benny, Unikitty, and Chase. Girlfriend and I are just digging into the game and it is LOADS of fun for us both to play as the various characters we recognize. Even if this turns out to be the final wave it'll be a great ride to shore.

The problem is that this is being portrayed by other media like they barred women from entry, when they actually offered women the jobs but were turned down. Yet suddenly the committee are the supposed villains.

Also, if you have no interest in being on the committee until you find out you get to be the only one of a particular group there and that's your motivation, then congratulations, you're doing it for the wrong reason. You should have done it because you honestly wanted to assist in the committee's work, and since you turned it down the first time, clearly you had no interest in that aspect of it. Special snowflakes, get out, ree.

I'm unsure why anyone would take offense to this, given the positive message of someone actively choosing to work out toward a goal of self-improvement as they define it, and, via the good ending that this video didn't show, showing that with hard work and determination and self control, one can absolutely improve oneself in both body and spirit.

But then, I'm not surprised that people are looking for reasons to be offended either.

Also, I can't believe anyone would have to even say this, but it's 2017 and it's time to stop propagating this myth that somehow being particularly overweight is healthy for you. Yes, having 10-15, maybe 20 at the most, extra pounds of fat (key word: fat, not muscle) is a reasonably safe concept in the cases of sudden disease so your body has fuel to burn. But it is simply false, projecting, full on denial to claim that if you're packing 40-50 or more pounds of fat that you're somehow "healthy", doubly so if you claim that you can't improve for some reason besides not having functional legs, lungs, or a heart condition.

Quirky free game about a lady running to improve herself and gain self confidence? I see nothing to get offended about here, that sort of self-driving, can-do message is something more of us could use in our lives in multiple ways.

@ImagineerNik The real answer is "Yup...and this movie ain't how it happened."

Seriously, they removed Misty and Brock and put in two unknown blahs running Diamond and Pearl Pokémon. Because, you know, why not erase the past? The dumb kids won't know any better.

Very glad to see this classic guide get this kind of attention. I received my older brother's old Nintendo Power magazines and this guide (as well as the Super Mario World and FFIII guides) when I was four. It's a big reason why Link to the Past remains one of my favorite games ever.

I have a digital version of the guide and I've posted it page-by-page on 4chan's /v/ board a few times over the years as "LttPGuideGuy". Despite what so many think about the site, the guide threads have always been wonderful and enjoyable, and those in them truly get lost in the art and lore and the pure detail that went into this amazing guide. It's truly a shame that so few guides ever do this anymore.

Thanks for making this video. =)

Really not liking this layout. I don't go on the Playstation site so I don't know what it's been like over there, but this is CONFUSING. There's random tiles of stories all over the place, and nothing is running chronologically, so the stuff at the top of my page is sometimes days old. That and some of the stories seem to change positions randomly whenever I refresh.

It's cluttered, there's no gentle empty space like the previous layout allowed for (and thus my eyes get worn down trying to identify stories). And while I get that the red is "thematic", the color being splashed all over the site is much more harsh on the eyes than the old gentle format. And really, trying to argue that blue specifically represented Wii-U when the system didn't have a spot of blue on it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I realize I'm laying down a lot of salt here, but this layout has made trying to identify and read the new Switch news very difficult on the computer, and downright aggravating on mobile where it's just scattered all over creation. Sorry, but a pox on this mess. Refine the previous version if you must, but at least give us an option to opt back to the old layout or something similar please.

Hey, I'd buy it. Sure, it's a bit ridiculous, but that's half the fun when it comes to Japanese games. The clothing damage aspect just lends itself more to comedy in my head than titilation, since it appears to be more of a "punishment" for failure than a reward.

One word:
Aaargh.

Star Fox and Paper Mario looked good. Just about everything else though, either I'm not in the target audience (Animal Crossing etc) or it was just downright disappointing (Metroid).

Stuff, Nintendo. Come on. You were up against FFVII of all things.

@Quorthon
You're quoting Rational Wiki as a legitimate source of truthful information?
I mean, yikes dude. Just...yikes.
That's like saying Fox News or MSNBC are unbiased journalism.

I kind of have to ask...
So a random Swedish newspaper posts a story against the game, and it gets reposted here. Nevermind that other places far more prominent have probably done similar stuff.
Is this really news, NintendoLife? Or did we just need a place to have the Senran sexism etc discussion beforehand where it could be contained and weaned out to prevent it from taking over future news posts about the game?

I mean, if that was the point, good thinking.

What, all of this and NOBODY has mentioned the absolute best part of the show?

@retro_player_22 They still have to get Trigger off Elysium first. So of course we have to play as Barret to begin with.

Ben Kuchera threw a little hissy fit on Twitter about Shia's boobs, including a claim that the developers are shunning every Zelda fan over the age of twelve.

Mr. Kuchera, I don't think you understand that the Zelda series is equal opportunity. Everyone can have large breasts, even the big ladies!

My girlfriend has been extremely hyped for this game ever since finding out it was coming to 3DS. What the article doesn't mention is that Hakuoki is an immensely popular game with a huge following overseas and a strong vocal fan base online in the west (hence the western release). The 3DS edition also includes a boatload of physical extras such as a folding fan and a thick encyclopedia about the era and time of the story.

This is a really great story and we're both looking forward to picking it up.

@ShikabaneHime13 One can look at all sides of something and understand why it was done, and still be entirely allowed to be pissed off and angry at the manner in which it was done. Shutting down the entire service was not the answer.

Have Nintendo never used the internet before? SON OF A puppy.

I am incredibly mad here. My girlfriend JUST ordered a 3DS from their refurbishment center and we were all set to go on Swapnote for me to send her all my stationaries. For the love of pete Nintendo, screw off, this is not the right answer!
_{Watch the profanity please — TBD}

This is completely stupid. This is like if some silly person posted a giant penis on Twitter, and they responded by SHUTTING DOWN TWITTER. You don't shut down the entire service, you ban the poopiedoodoheads who do it and move on.
_{Watch the profanity and insults please — TBD}

There's already been a lot of iffy poopoodoodiecacapoopsiedoodles about these awards - every single game that won either had the Head of Marketing in Europe, or was European-based. There's a lot of idle talk online that that's just too much of a coincidence and that the awards group may not have wanted to fly anyone in from outside the Eurozone (ie: Japan or America).

Angry...Bunnies...

Call me when Rance Quest gets an uncensored full 3DS release. Then I'll care about saucy JRPGs.

...this has me very, very worried about how extensive (or rather, NOT extensive) the content of the game will be, if it's that much smaller than some of the recent releases.

Before anyone panicks about him being cagey about the game length, bear in mind that Link to the Past, for all it's content, could be 100%ed by an average player in 4-5 hours, and that's not at speedrunner time, which was even lower at a cool 2 hours without glitch abuse.

I'd expect that this game will be more about the experience than a lengthy story.

@craigmoss19 There is, the main focus is combat. And skimpily-clad girls.

Japan.

I have to admit my guilt...when I saw how overwhelmingly successful Mighty was, I yanked my funding from it and put it into Shantae instead...it seemed like they needed it more.

BattleTanx: Global Assault was a fantastically fun game. The story was fairly grimdark cheesy, but it was fun in it's own way, and it's one of those rare sequels where you don't have to have played the first game to understand it. I'd highly recommend the game, it's a ton of fun (and you can use nukes...and yes they do absolutely decimate EVERYTHING).

"They have never sold an item that doesn't go away after each use like the boomerang or the hookshot."

-_-

Shovel and Bow in Link's Awakening. The Blue and Red Shields and a bottle in Link to the Past. The red and blue tunics in Ocarina of Time. The Bomb Bag and Big Bomb Bag in Majora's Mask. The Sail in Wind Waker. The BOOMERANG in Minish Cap. And many, many more.

This is hardly the first time Aonuma's gaffed on his own games. God I'm worried about this nonsensical sequel.

wince

I'm a huge FFVI fan, and I do want to see a movie about it, heck I wrote a script for the first segment of a television adaptation eons back for a scriptwriting class in college. But this...yikes. Everyone's way too young, and the acting seems really stilted. And I just don't understand some of these design choices, there's at least four existing designs for Magitek Armor and this one turned it into this spindly thing that looks like a five year old could kick the legs out from under it.

...no.

This is going to sound like a silly gripe, but they turned her into a child AND turned her white. Until they fix that, they're not getting a dime - I'm here for Shantae, not some whitewashed character design.

@DaveGX Inafune didn't abandon Megaman. Capcom essentially barred him from it after they shot down three Megaman games.

In other news...WE BROKE ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

All these people whining about the use of glitches...

@manu0 Too many crap Alien films.

I was basically ready to write this game off as a level pack cash-grab by Nintendo.

But for David Wise, who is an awesome guy? I'll give it some breathing room and a little hopeful hype.

@Fusion14 You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, even though you're wrong.

FireRed and LeafGreen were enjoyable, sure, but bear in mind that they both censored and changed much of the original game. Yes they added additional content, but the cuts that came with it tends to be the defining factor of which game I choose to play now and then. I would eagerly buy up Red or Blue on the VC - I can't say the same for FireRed and LeafGreen.

@squashie If the original Red and Blue games were released on VC with local trading and battling via the 3DS IR, people would go bananas.

Black Mask, Deadshot, and Deathstroke/Slade? I can go for this.

@SanderEvers Nintendo has already said multiple times that this is a direct sequel to LttP. The game's WORKING TITLE in Japan is "Link to the Past 2" for pete's sake.

Okay hang on, problem.

Inasmuch as I loved the Dark World, it CEASED TO EXIST at the end of Link to the Past. Link got the Triforce, banished Ganon's evil wish, and fixed everything. So HOW can the Dark World exist in a sequel? Unless they're going to completely rehash the entire plot and make Ganon get it yet again, which would make absolutely no sense since Link to the Past was one of the few Zelda games where Ganon was KILLED, and he wasn't resurrected until Oracle of Ages/Seasons (as a mindless beast which was promptly put down again).

This makes no sense.

I'm still the only person I know who enjoyed the sequel to Tales of Symphonia on the Wii.

It's a little more structured than ToS was, because it's guiding us through a direct story, but there's a lot of good character evolution, and there are DOZENS of sidequests - they're just hidden away somewhat since the game moves in chapters. The best way to enjoy the game is to do a normal playthrough the first time, then Grade Shop for the second playthrough and THEN do the sidequests (also because several of them, like the destroyed Balacruf Mausoleum, can only be played on the second playthrough).

@AbeVigoda Like you had anything better to do.

Responses like this are such mindless crap. If we opened the page, the least we can do is read what's there.

@Le_Gazman WiiU has a few solid games so far, but unfortunately it's going to be a while before it really has steam.
