I hope everyone gets to pull in a Nintendo 64 Kid-like reaction this Christmas, spend time with your family/friends and thanks to the Nintendo Life team for keeping us posted on everything Nintendo.
@Oubie I'm sorry I did not realize that! I don't understand the time it takes to release games in the UK, they're already in English, is it legal rights, the rating system, etc? Or is Nintendo just lazy?
SSB4 would be a great surprise announcement! Something told me there would be a direct tomorrow, it's almost like a tradition to have it once a month, in the middle of the month. Can't wait!
@Peach64 Now, that is true. Nintendo needs publicity, and the VGX, although not that great, is a better way of getting news out than a Nintendo Direct. I can only hope that Nintendo has a live E3 next year, or another chance to redeem themselves. I still think the over-reacting of Nintendo fans is overwhelming, to me at least. And I'm sure Reggie wanted to reveal a new game, but even as president, he doesn't get to call as many shots as Nintendo Japan does. Maybe this isn't the case, but I'm sure it may have been their decision to keep today's news light.
@Gioku Feels good to find a sane person on this comment thread, it hurts to read this. The VGX show is crap already, why would Nintendo reveal important information somewhere other than a Nintendo Direct? He said a previously announced game, yet you people are still wondering why no Metroid U, Starfox, or F-Zero (although that Metroid pin sure is intriguing...). While I agree that another title like Smash or something would've been better, you people need to calm down. Think about it like this: possibly Nintendo only revealed this little shred of information now to make sure the next, soon Nintendo Direct is a memorable one.
It's always a sad time when ANY developer closes it's doors, and I've always wanted to try a Rune Factory game. I'm going to pick up 4 today, although I'm not sure that would help the matters. I hope all their developers get new jobs at good companies and prosper.
They really should've added this to their advantage, put his work on the eShop or have Nintendo put it on their website. It's a missed opportunity on their part.
Here we go. We've been in this drought waaaaaay too long. Drought of games, no, but of sales. The holiday season with 3D World will hopefully net us a big turnaround. Hopefully.
@unrandomsam It would be nonsense to ship on release date. I'm not trying to put you on the spot, but games need to be there on release date. Not be on their way.they are shipped beforehand to make sure not problems occur that can cause delays on the release date. This is all the stores' fault, and it's a shame that Game Freak and Nintendo's dream of having a worldwide Pokemon release was shattered, even after all the hard work the did to accomplish it.
@Yesrod45 Never said I lost all respect for him. Just some. He just makes bad decisions occasionally IMO. And nice job wasting time with that list, didn't prove crap to me
@KingH3nrry I feel bad for you, truly. You probably think the new Pokemon are unoriginal and Gen 1 was outright the best right? You wouldn't play remakes of the new games because they would have different Pokemon in the post game? SERIOUSLY?
I think Miis being playable is a bad idea. I don't know why, but it doesn't sound good. Since so many people are complaining that he's "not from Japan"(seriously? They aren't the only country that plays video games) and how he wouldn't fit in, so why not make him an assist trophy? Eh? He'd just pop up and say "MY BODY IS READY" and start throwing giant Nintendo consoles and a crazy fast pace.

@Oubie Devilish Brain Training is out, renamed to Concentration Training. You're other suggestions are great though.

Re: There's A New Mario & Luigi: Dream Team 3DS XL Bundle On The Way
Although I'm going to stick with my Zelda XL, this is still a nice bundle. I sure do wish that the games were physical copies though...
Re: Nintendo's Partnership With Southwest Airlines Takes Off As Mario Gives Away Free Wii U Systems
I wonder why not LAX? One of the biggest airports, and Southwest is certainly there. I already have a Wii U, but hopefully this will spread the word.
Re: Nintendo Infographic Shows Off Phenomenal Pokémon X & Y Sales Records
@Kuksenkov Square Enix. They need to be grateful for what they get, remember Tomb Raider and its disappointing 2 million?
Re: Nintendo Confirms That Miiverse on 3DS Won't Allow Friend Requests or User Messaging
Let's post about it on Miiver- oh, wait....
Re: Full Screen Mario Web Game Closed Down Following Nintendo's Copyright Complaint
@EdJericho I totally forgot about Christian Whitehead. That is a prime example of what Nintendo can and should've done.

Re: Club Nintendo Rewards are Updated for October
To be completely honest, I'm relieved its not Urban Champion again. They must've been drunk to put that game up for grabs over 7 times.

Re: EA Executive: Shigeru Miyamoto is 'Falling Down on the Job'
I do agree, since Miyamoto played a part in ruining Sticker Star, I have lost respect for him. But Apple sure as hell doesn't run the gaming world.
Re: Nintendo's Former President, Hiroshi Yamauchi, Has Passed Away
I don't have great poems to say, but thank you for everything, Mr. Yamauchi.
Re: The Pokémon Company Teases "Special Announcement" On Monday
@KingH3nrry I feel bad for you, truly. You probably think the new Pokemon are unoriginal and Gen 1 was outright the best right? You wouldn't play remakes of the new games because they would have different Pokemon in the post game? SERIOUSLY?
Re: Review: Sin and Punishment: Star Successor (Wii)
Got this for 7 bucks at GameStop. Not sure why it's so cheap, but whatever : D
Re: Animal Crossing Plushies Move In
T'would make a great Club Nintendo reward, eh? Take notes Reggie.
Re: Sonic Generations Hitting The North American 3DS eShop Next Week
@MrSRArter I can see Colora getting a remake in HD, but the others were already HD. I see the chances very slim they will port 4 and Generations.
Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer Outlined in Lavish Presentation
@TromboneGamer Eh, I guess. Not excited either way.
Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer Outlined in Lavish Presentation
Only new thing about THIS COD is that goshdarn dog.

Re: Weirdness: Mike Tyson Was Rubbish at Punch-Out!!
@Mr_Trill281 That was the developer of the game who won the case, not the famous coach.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Rules Out Story Sequences For Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
I was wishing for something MORE engaging than SSE, to be honest. It's a shame, really.
Solution? Lets just take away the Internet!
Re: Code of Princess Receives Temporary Price Cut in North America
Wow... Looks like the time to hop on this game. Impressions anyone?
Re: Pre-Orders Open for Mega Man Anniversary Statue
@Undead_terror That made me laugh more than it should have.
Re: Ninterview: Anna The Red
Wasn't this girl in Nintendo Power once? She had a Link bento, but it was different than the one above.
Re: Talking Point: Wii U and the Next Generation of Consoles
The Wii U will be fine, just get more great 3rd party games and hopefully Nintendo will make new and good quality 1st party games.
