I incredibly despise all people that hate KIU's control scheme. Don't like it, go to options, change it. It's easy as anything.

@rjejr No, a new Kid Icarus hasn't been made in 10+ years, but it's not a reboot

Actually, there you go. Paper Mario. Paper Mario is like the series that (at least I've heard) the most hate from. I haven't actually played Paper Mario (will before too long) but Sticker Star is a GREAT game and I suspect so is Super Paper Mario, even if it's not strictly the exact same as the first 2 games.

Honestly, I liked all of the games you mentioned that I've played, even if they're different. I've played the original Kid Icarus and Uprising, both are great, and I'm fine with them not being all that similar. Those who complain about the control scheme are idiots, I've explained a million times before how to change it.

Skyward Sword was a good game; it just didn't have a great control scheme. Nevertheless I liked it a lot, so not really very many complains for that.

New Super Mario Bros. is a great reboot of an old way of playing Mario. Simple as that. I have no complaints regarding that (er, maybe besides the name...)

A good game is a good game regardless of how different it is, although us fans do have some expectations. I don't want, for example, the smash to be 3D!

@Five-seveN I wonder if ACNL sales will be as good or better than the Japanese sales.

3DS sales sure are gonna rise here with LMDM and ACNL coming soon...

Every platform sold more this week than it did last week. Interesting.

I think that they would be a good organization if they didn't overeact and overexaggerate so much.

@RoryLee Yes, and people are going to go out and hunt small birds, hares, and muskrats because they played Assassins Creed Black Frag. That makes all kinds of sense.

That still strays from my original point though. I NEVER said I was fine with this in games. OK? I don't like it in games. But I DON'T care what PETA says about video games, because they're — get this — video games. NO MAJOR COMPANY is going to listen to them. Nintendo, Ubisoft, Microsoft, Playstation... none are going to listen to PETA's complaints. PETA is wasting their time trying to reason with them. AGAIN, I NEVER said whaling was OK, nor did I say I was fine with it being in games. I just said I really don't care too much about what PETA says, and neither do the comnpanies they were targeting.

@RoryLee There are hunting laws, remember? In order to legally hunt, you'd need a fishing liscence, or a hunting liscense, etc.

You misspelled "installment".

How many times am I going to say this? I didn't say I liked that this was in games. It really shouldn't be. I said that no one is going to listen to them.

@RoryLee Fair enough, but even with humans being killed I can prove a point. Most of us gamers agree playing violent video games don't really make you violent, right? Well, if I play a game with animal violence, that doesn't mean I'm going to hurt animals.

As I said before, I didn't say it was a good thing. I just said that I, personally, don't care, and that Nintendo, Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Sony don't care either. PETA is wasting their breathe.

Also, as some people pointed out before: so, it's OK to kill humans in games, but animals? No way!

@Tsuchiya Really? Whithout PETA, everyone would just break laws and kill animals? It is PETA alone that stops me from hurting animals?

My Wii U seems like it's going faster... much just be me.

@Joshers _{Trying to prove a point here...}

@Tsuchiya I didn't say that having whaling in games wasn't a bad thing, I don't really see what the point of it is. All I'm saying is I - and a lot of other people - don't care at all about what PETA says, about what, ever.

But, seriously, it's a VIDEO GAME. How many people in the world have gone out after playing ACBF and started whaling? 0 people. It like PETA saying that Mario wearig a Tanooki Suit encourages wearing furs. After playing SMB3, SM3DL, and NSMB2, did I, for a SECOND, even THINK about buying furs? No.

Dunno how many times I said this, but PETA, who cares? You start complaining about all this, but does anyone actually listen? No. Nintendo doesn't listen, and they don't care about you. Sony doesn't listen, nor do they care. Ubisoft isn't going to listen to you, and THEY don't care either.

Look at the facts, PETA. How many times have I gone out and started killing animals because I played Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, Angry Birds, etc? Oh, that's right... I'VE NEVER KILLED ANIMALS BECAUSE OF VIDEO GAMES.

Doesn't look all that interesting to me.

Can't wait to try this out on Wii U VC!

Nice review... might pick this up eventually,

It's like I've seen this device somewhere before...

Great interview!

I absolutely LOVED the voice acting in Uprising, it was so funny! I hope Antony Del Rio is can do some more voice acting for Nintendo's future games.

Very good article. Video games can really improve my day, basically any day. Yeah, it is easy to blame violence on video games, but there's not really a point to it. Plus, video games can take you away from your problems, and put you in a new world to explore and imagine. Video games are like a never ending sheet of paper, if developers are good, they can add some real depth to their pictures, and you can either interpret it as bad, good, or great, like an art critic would a painting. The worlds of video games are seeingly endless, like the possibilities of a painting.

What the hell? Pretty much ALL of my favorite games are 95% single player. Are you crazy?!

@MegaWatts I first thought of Scribblenauts

Well, I doubt I'm getting it(still might though) because there are a ton of other games coming out this year I'm getting. But good to know it isn't $20.

I incredibly dislike the thought that there will be more micro transactions, and hope this never really surfaces too much outside of EA. I do think DLC is fine though, if done right, because when I buy a game, I want to have actually bought the game, not just a store for buying the game. In FEA, for examplem the DLC is done well. For a good price, I can buy maps that, when completed, sometimes give me stuff that's harder/impossible to get in the actual game, but is not required to finish the game, or have the entire game. All EA wants is a way to rationalize charging more money for their games. ACNL, from what it sounds like, is DLC in its most perfect form. It'll make people love Nintendo even more, and will make fans enjoy the game even more.

@MarioMan64 All you need is a backpack, portable outlet(there is such a thing I believe), and your Wii U + Gamepad. I kid you not, I've considered buying a portable outlet.

I had the EXPonential Growth 2 days ago. Maybe today us with the Golden Pack will get Infinite Regalia.

BIT.TRIP Runner 2 looks good, may have to pick that up.

Good to hear. Hopefully we'll get a ton of indie support before too long.

Also, can't wait for Cloudsberry Kingdom!

@Banker-Style And you can't play the 3DS version off TV?

Only UK? Darn...
Oh well, never played a Castlevania, not like I've been hyping it or anything.

@Jellitoe Bad games.

@Peach64 If I had a penny for each time someone(even if I didn't include myself) said that Sony, Nintendo, Xbox, or even the entire video gaming industry was going to die, I'd be the richest person in the world by now.

@RoryLee Stop making sense!

....and who cares about EA? EA is just sealing their fate with every comment like this. Plus, their games are terrible, at least imo.

Hm. I may have to fund this.

Looks interesting, I'll keep my eye on this.

I hope he recovers fast.

Uh... no. The Wii U should be selling MORE than Wii.

Melee sold 7.07 Million unit, idk why it isn't on that list.

@SuperMinusWorld Ah, ok, I thought it was SMG2, anyway, you knew what I meant.

What's the best selling 8th generation game console atm? Oh right... that'd be the 3DS. And that's sold how many units vs the PS Vita? Well, the 3DS has sold about 30 million units, according to Vgchartz, and the Vita has sold about 4 million units. The 3DS, in less than 2 years, has sold more units already than the GameCube's lifetime sales.

Now, if you want to go last-gen, the DS is the best selling video game console of all time, Super Mario Galaxy is the highest rated game of all time, and the Wii was the best selling console of the last gen, selling about 100 million units, with the PS3 selling 73 million and the Xbox 360 selling 74.3 million.

Going back to current gen, here's a good example of a game that's selling REALLY great right now — and it's not even out in America and UK yet. Animal Crossing New Leaf has sold 78,000+ copies in Japan alone.

My point is, Nintendo's doing fine. There is no need to worry, I'm sure Nintendo will do fine this generation.

Well, ok. Talk about surprising, though.

I'm on the edge about getting this, because of all the other games I'm playing and will be playing before too long. However, I'll probably break down and get this at some point.

I've been holding off on getting the DLC, but I love FEA so much, later I may just get all the packs available!

@Marioman64 .... ah.... yeah. Had to think that through. But, you knew what I meant.

Quite honestly, NL, I could do without the doom and gloom articles.
